The f llowing from the Cherokee Scout is so very appropriate for this town that reproduction is irresisti ble. Listen : "Within the part few weeks the Scout has rei-tivt'd no lets than twenty-five ap plications for sample copied of the paper from the North and West. Some of them Were f'oin farmer, trnek growers, nieehan iv, merchants and hankers. hie lady in Connecticut wanted the paf er to see some name of real estate dealers and contrac tors, the will look in vain for them, al though there are several here. Immigra tion is coming South, and tfnless we all pull together we'll Ik? left in the cold." This is exactly the case here. If you business men wish people to know you are living you must ad vertise yourselves. But if you w sh to remain hurried lof fifty year. more, no exertion whatever is re quired --just go on a you are. Hospitality l'redoinMiatos There A more thoroughly enjoyable oc casion, pediaps, never lias been in dulged in by llie young people ol Bryson City than the trip to Yellow Hill on the 2'Jd. The party wa cordiaby received by the olheials and shown through t lie grounds and building by the affable Lt. Shelton who always goes his full length for the comfort of visitors. The program of the cfening con sisted of school exercises in the cel ebration of Washington's birthday, the thorus singing of national airs, the delivering of patriotic speeches and the rendition of "soul-inspiring melodies. In the conduct, of the exercises the efficient Dr. Oberlauder was indipeusible. and his suppoi by the principals was better than good. While the. exercises were all well tendered, yet the work of little Miss Smith, in her crayon recitation, "The Story of the Goose," deserves special mention. After the exercises that delight ful host, Mrs. T. W. Potter, let the way-To lieir1iomewhere the recep tion was enjoyed by all. - It was very much regretted that Superintendent Potter was called away on special business aud could not return in time for participation in the general festivities. Mr. Potter has the interests oi the Cherokees very much at heart, as improvements on the reservation and his untiring efforts in securing the increased appropriation amp!; attest. Either Cherokee or any other school shoold pat itself on :ht back and feel satisfied so long as T. W. Potter is the man at the wheel. One of the most striking features of the evening was the elhciency displayed by the Fourth Regiment Band, lt is composed of 21 Indian boys, ranging in age from lo to ( years, the majority being under 12. When the leader says "Play,' every little fellow starts i.nstamly, and harmony, gtood time and distinct ness are noticeable to the end. Prof. Edwin Schauaudore, under whose tutorship the band lias been trained, is the ace of trumps. The party returned to Bryson City the following morning. A mong those present were Mi.-s Lipscomb, Miss Cooper, Misses I'.m nie and Bertie Cooper; Professor James Edwards, Messrs. John Ever ett, John Morrow, B. A. Che, McClain, McLean, Martin, Lip.-eomb Welch and 11 ay wood. It was the unanimous wish of the party that Washington's birthday would strike Cherokee every fifteen minutes.

Too much eooooration amonir neaf r.i.i.flmnciinn K ! Mre. Murray and Mrs. O'XeU 1 learned, to their sorrow. And yet, what else could theyhavtf done? It is a serious matter to boa washerwoman, and live in the fourth Etory of a tenement. When eaeh moved in she was shown her clothes line, running over a pulley fastened outside her window, and across the" alley to another pulley in an oppo site window. Each room had two windows, and Mrs. Murray was told that the north clothesline was hers, while Mrs. O Xeil was put in possession OI the line connecting the windows to the south. One morning Mrs. Murray leaned from her window, as she wa hanging out part of her last wash in";, and called to her neighbor over the way; who was doing the same: 'Moriiin' to ye". Mo own name's Mis' .Murray." "Au' mornin' to vo, I'm sure; an' I'm Mis' O'Ncil."' "Glad to make your acquaintance, Mis' O'Ncil. D'ye know. Mis O'Neil, iver since I moved in I've been a-wantin' to use the half o' your clothesline that you can't use." "Why, an' me the same, Mis' Murray, for I've often a big wash that I can't begin to dhry on me out line, an' the clothes get sour a hangin' indoor." "Well, then, Mis' O'Neil, 'f you're agreed, you let me know when you're ready to start out clothes on your lino, an' I'll start at the same time on the other half of it, and you may do the same with mine, so we'll make each line carry double." Twice a day since then, and often three times a day, wotdd sound across the alley a "Re-e-eady, Mis' Murray," or a "Re-e-eady, Mis' O'Neil," and then, in the midst of puffing clouds of steam, our laundry women would fill one clothesline., Mrs. Murray sending her clothes to Mrs. O'Neil', whilst Mrs. O'Neil, on the return half of the same line, was sending: hers to Mrs. Murray. Next the other clothesline would be CdL?d, and tlve flapping garments wbu'd gather in what sunshine and puro air they could from Skin alley, until the next wash was ready This arrangement soon ripened into a friendship, and many were the hearty bits of cheer, the secret confidences and the merry whiffs of Irish banter sent to and fro along the clotheslines. Iut, alas! Were thereover" two neighboring families, bound together by a clothesline or some loss material tie, that never found the lino somewhat strained, the bond tense arid ready to break? Cooperation will be free from peril in the millennium. Oiie jnorning Mrs. Murray ob serve! that her neighbor was rather reserved, and said very little, being intent on getting nor cioines on me line with the greatest possible ex pedition. When she looked morel carefully at t hose clothes Mrs. Mjjr-, ray gave a great start and her brow clouded darkly. i There was no doubt about it, her neighbor's washing was that! of Mrs. Bentley. Mrs. Murray's be'st customer. Ah, heiv came the hand kerchiefs, big Us in th corners. And no one could ever mistake that pillow illowsham.

She was Mrs. Murray ' niece on a visit from the f-ounlry; as pretty aud lovable a piece of pink and white as you can well imagine. Now Mrs. O'Ncil had little daughter who was a cripple". She weiit stumping around ou crutches or at pale and with her eyes 8hUt in a padded chair. Her name was Mary. "Good's a ghost," Mrs. Mur ray often said of her. Josie had not been in the tenement five hiinutes before she spied her Jioor neighbor and her warm, Irish heart went out lit sympathy to the cripple. But Mrs. Murray would permit no advances, telling Josie with many embellishments the his tory .of the clotheslines.- Neverthe less Josh pondered sorrowfully and long over tho pallid face opposite and at last hit on a plan of opera tion about which' she discreetly said nothing. First, with her stubby pencil she painfully printed this let ter: "Deer Mary I'm sory tot you AM I wafit yft to h:iv ml lol huf ilic time i.o ) senil her to jart fcer name Iz J!a:vercet and you may hsr itr cvry r.fftcrnoon trum Josle." Then, choosing a time when both her aunt and Mrs. O'Neil were out. she fastched Marguerite, dressed in her finest, to the eud of Mrs. O'Ncil's clothesline. About two o'clock Mrs. O'Ncil be-' gan to remove the clothes fFom the line to put out the second set. She! was doing the work mechanically and did not notice the doll till rfot took hold of it. 'Sainls preserve us!" she c-Jt claimed, almost dropping the doll as she removed the clothespins. "What Under the canopy's this?" She read the note. She looked at the opposite window and saw a pink and white face all smiles, with two blue eyes dancing with delight. Jos,ie nodded gayly, and what could Mrs. O'Neil do but nod back? For the rest of Josie's visit the doll made regular trips back and forth on the clothesline. It was Jhe' first toy M.My h,ad ever hxAj .and tb' pleasure she took jn it was some thing wonderful And pathet ic. The little cripple sang to it, and danced it, and hugged it, and went through1 all manner of plays with it, now for" the first time getting a glimpse of the happy childhood that she had never had. And Josie stood at her window and watched it all rejoicing' ly, while even Mrs. Murray cast & pleased glance over the way not' and then, when Mrs. O'Neil walnut. Rut the days cpiickly passed, anil Josie must go back to the farm. She trembled with joy at the thought of father and mother and the cbiklfou and all the dear farm animals,- each oi. c of the latter being known to her by its own name; but what about the doli? This- s what written more slowly than the first note, and kept over night, before Josie could quite rnaKe up her mind to send it: 'Doer M;-.ry i ni tfnin 1 Br hon .v 0 1 warn you t ltav Mar;;crret bek s yoif aro mc un l ilve in tbc silly K"0t bi my ilcer Mury fioni Jo.!c.-; This note was carefully tinned to the beloved ' doll, and al) the'dolV clothes, except thes It, wore, t"-ro rolled into a neat bundle.
