The CITY OF
WASHINGTON

Washington. the capital of the
United States, was founded 1875 years
ago to-day, Dec. 20, 1890. In the
early days of tbs republic Congress
was engaged in "a long and bitter
wrangle to- decide the location of the
capitol. andNf for a time the controver-
sy threatened to wreck the infant
government. At<length an agreement
was reached, and site favored by
George Washington, on the banks of
the Potomac, was selected. In realiz-
ing the dream of Washington much
vexation was experienced~>bec Of
the attitude Of the owners Of the land,
most Of whom were Scotch, and had
inherited the ability to drive hard
bargain. Most stubborn of all was
David Burns, tobacco planter and
justice of the peace, who insisted
that he "did not want capital in
his front yard. Washington argued
with him for days, and Burns at. last
but he exacted a good
price, and also stipulated that his
cottage should not be disturbed. This
little edifice stood until few years
ago.

Arapoho, Cheyenne and Caddo tribes
have the sound of n, but lack l and r;
on the other hand, the Kiowa,
Apache Zuni and Cherokee have and
n, but lack r.
The Sioux call themselves by a
name meaning allies" pronounced
Dakota" by those of the Eastern or
,Santee division, "Nakota" by the Mid
die or Yankton division and 'Lakota"
by the Western or Teton division. The
latter division comprises all the
tribes west of Missouri, or about two
thirds Of the whole nation. This ex-
ample shows the three methods Of ex-
a single family. ~
But besides these variances. and
many others, are. the eccentricities in
speech Of the individual, of the fam
lily proper, and of the camp group, all
of which intrude transient forms, just
as in the English speech Of North
America we find variations between
the speech of Northerner, a West
erner and a Southerner.
The philologist has to beware Of all
this and to shift and sort the lam.
guages to eliminate all such local and
colloquia1 accents, for it must be re-
membered that the speech of the red
red man is not a written, language,
with a grammar and a dictionary, ex-
cept those which his white friends
have evolved for him.
It is iof interest and value to know
and record these various aboriginal
languages before they become extinct,
and that is one part of the work of
the Bureau Of American Ethnology.
In order to meet the popular de-
mand for Indian names for postoffices,
parks, villa sites and outing organiza-
lions the bureau has lately compiled
and issued circular giving fsimplified
forms in Dakota. Omaha, Blackfoot,
Delaware, Cheyenne, Cherokee, Sem
eca, Chippewa and other Indwian
languages. Some Of these names are
especially interesting and musical in
sound.-7-Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

BAKERS son HAS
100000 IN GOLD
THROUGH. THRIFT
Father Put Each $40 of
Directors Fee Away
For Son

Perhaps tht most remarkable ex-
ample-with reversea Enghsh-of the
old adage, ''Take after the pennies
and the dollars will take after them=
selves" is about to be disclosed -
Do you remember when you were In
school how amazed you were when
your arithmetic teacher showed you
how much money you would have II
you put $40 ins the bank and left 1t
there for 80 years?
Well, the day George F. Baker, Jr:,,
was born George F. Baker, Sr., of
New York started a bank account for.
him That in itself is not surprising:
for Mr.. Baker, ST., is banker-and
bankers and bank accounts go to-
gether.
Z Mr.. Baker, Sr., attended direc-
tors meeting day or two after little
Georges first birthday and he con-
ceived the idea Of starting bank &C.
count for the youngster with the $40
gold piece which he received on that
OCCASION
And to make matters more interest
inc he decided to- deposit to his sons
account. every gold piece which he re-
ceived at directors meetings there
after.
just From Directors Fees.
That was 81 years ago. Mr.. Baker,
ST. is still in the. banking business
chairman Of the board Of the First
National, among other things. George
E. Baker, Jr., is vice president Of the
same institution.
But to come to the point of this
story How much do you think this
bank account Of gold pieces from d.
rectors' meetings is today?
Seven hundred thousand dollars.
You don't believe it? Well, take
George F. Sr's word for it. Even he
admits that he, would not believe it if
he didn't have\ he books to prove it,
but it is ans actual fact.
This account started and added to
with the gold pieces passed out to the
directors meetings attended by, Mr..
Baker, sr., during the last 81 years is
now 500, 900. M
There is no "catch'' to this. 1T is
! a bsolutely true. However, it is not
likely to be duplicated In the future,
| for now that 'interlocking' directors
are frowned upon by the law it is
more difficult to collect gold pieces in
this way. 81
No Less Than go Companies.
| ana Cnen 1t NIluSL De remembered
that George F. Baker, ST., is one Of
the greatest money powers in Amer
lea. A few years ago Mr.. Baker, SrS;
was director in no less than 60 cor
Eorations.
At a very low estimate, you can see,
| he received $1,000 a year by attending
the monthly meetings Of these cor
porations. For a $40 gold piece was
the smallest amount passed out at
these meetings, and at many Of them
$40 was the sum-, And it must be re-
! membered Mat monthly meetings are
the rule.
However, as the fortune Of George
F. Baker, ST., is estimated by some as
high as 100000 ,OO0-also in round
numbers-this little account is a mere
bag Of shells, so to speak.
George F. Baker, Jr, has a few mil
lions in loose change, too. But as
commodore Of the New York Yacht
club and the owner Of two or three
famous yachts it's nice to have a
bank account of 100000 sort of. on the
side.
