Burns

1t is not the men of letters who
have handled Burns with the surest
touch Men to whom letters mean
little or nothing are quicker to under
stand him. The fact is that Burns Is
everyman. This wonderful in
stinct for truth and frankness is the
secret of his genius and of his style.
Perhaps it is the secret of all great
style. No sermon worth so
much as tallow dip has ever been
preached on the life of Burns, but the
mere story of his life is an enthralling
drama. 1t is true that at Ellis
land and Dumfries he wrote not few
of his finest songs, and that "Tam o
Shanter," in many ways the strongest
and maturest of all his works, belongs
to his closing years. In Tam
O. Shanter." especially, he surpasses
himself; no masterpiece of narrative
so concise, so various, so telling, is
to be found even in Chaucer. Is it not
a strange thing that the king of poetic
story-tellers told only one story?-Sr
Walter Raleigh.

The Head on the Dollar.
New York Herald.

When the Bland silver dollar, now
almost extinct east of the Mississippi,
was as common as the paper dollar of
today the coin was admired for the
strikingly beautiful profile which the
designer gave to the head Of the God
dess of Liberty. Thousands of per-
passed have asked who the model was.
The rather indefinite answer was, a
Philadelphia schoolmisjress. The
profile was that of Miss Anna w. Will
liams, who on Thursday retired after
forty years of service in the Phila-
delphia schools.
The Bland silver dollar was first
coined 46 years ago. There were
thousands of applicants who offered
their heads as models for the goddess.
George Morgan, the designer, had ap-
parently. little difficulty in making a
selection, for he announced Miss Will
! liams' head the most perfect he had
ever seen. 1t was not necessary for
him to idealize his subject. The coin
bore the portrait of the model AM
orleans have frequently objected to
the figures or symbols on their coins,
cut in the Bland dollar they approved
the designers work.
0. Henry wrote a story of mise1
who married a woman whose profile
duplicated one he had seen on coin,
So that when he looked at her he could
always have visions of the wealth
which her face represented. But
could he ever have visioned such
silver horde as carried Miss Williams
face? More than 500,0OO,OOO silver
dollars were minted before 1914, when
the supply of metal purchased under
the coinage act was exhausted. In
June, 1920, the coinage of the silver
dollar was resumed to replace the
270,0O0.0O0 which were sold to Eu-
rope during the war. Here was
wealth surprising even miser's
dream.
Miss Williams had another claim to
distinction beyond that which came to
her through the Bland silver dollar.
She achieved a success in kindergar-
ten work that brought her recognl-
tion beyond the city to which she gave
her forty years of service.

the world war the line built up large
following with ships distinguished by
Indian names. 1t was found that such
names appealed to Americans when
travelling to or from foreign countries
and that most Americans had no diff

The original ships having been los,
by enemy action in the war, the com

to new vessels as they are built to re

Before naming its two new liners
which are large vessels of 21.700 tons

made careful inquiry as to the mean

the lakes to which they pertained il
order to place the information before

Research at the Minnesota State

The region about both lakes was

At the request of the steamship

the Museum of the American Indian,

derivation of the names. lie said
without doubt the names Minnewas-
ka and Minnetonka are from the Da-
kota language In both names the
element mime is variation of
spelling of the Dakota word for water,
which is mini. The name Minnewas-
ka l take to be formed by composition
of the following elements: Mini. wa

with verbs, puts them into the in
transitive state. the verb being there
by changed to an adjectival sense; ska
white; va, causative auxiliary verb
carrying the meaning of the cause to
do, or to cause to become, as in this
instance. skaya, to become white. In
this composition, the elements. Mini.

now results it has suffered mutilation
on the white mans tongue by the
omission of the sufix va. Such mutt
