ST. Louis Globe Democrat: Chcro-
KEGS come well by their E,ubboranoss,
their shrcwdncSs and their love O.
controversy. As Indians they had these
traits to begin with. As the rcsui, o.
n strong infusion OF Scotch blood they
added to the strength of the character
!s;ics. II is Scotch history that after
the battle OF Cullodcn many Sco;chmcu
left their native land rather than ne
cept English sovereignty. II is Cher
okee history that numbers OF these
sturdy Scots found homes and wives
with the Cherokee Nation before the
enforced migration OF the tribe from
Georgia to the Indian Territory. John
Ross was one OF these Scotch cxlles
who adopted Cherokee citizenship. He
became chief and was given the name
OF "Coo-is-coo-ee." When the nation
moved to the territory one OF the dis
tricts into which the reservation was
named "Coo-is-coo-ce." Ross founded
a family which became powerful in
Cherokee councils. He and his son were
frequent visitors to Washington and
had much to do with the treaty max
ing which gave to the nation the
strong legal position It holds in Its
relation with the United States. a
descendant OF Ross. the Scotch exile.
Is one of the officers OF the nation to-
day. The Adairs are another inaucn-
tial Cherokee clan established by a
Scotchman who came over after the
battle OF Culloden. As the descendants
OF Adair by his Cherokee wife grew up
they were sent away to American COL
leges and given the best Of opportuni-
ties for education. McNair is another
OF the familiar Scotch names introduc-
ed into the Cherokee Nation by this
Scotch infusion. The McNair who
came over after Culloden was a High
lander. One of his descendants lives
on a magnificent estate of 1900 acres
in the beautiful valley OF the Grand
river. Duncan is another Scotch name
found among the Cherokees. The head
and front OF the Cherokee opposition
to American citizenship is a Duncan,
whose claim to Cherokee citizenship
would not be guessed by any physical
characteristics. He Is Scotch in looks
and Scotch in his love of controversy.

MRS. vANpEae,Lr.s DOUBLE.

Fun.

Pun.
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., has
n double In Newport who. on account
of her resemblance to the mistress of
Belvo!r. has been receiving attention
that she thoroughly enjoyed for n long
time without knowing the reason for
1t. says n correspondent of the Denver
Post She could attribute It only to n
sudden and unaccountable streak OF
politcness on the part OF the storekeep-
ers OF Newport. The young lady Is
Miss Bertha Eddy. n pretty little bru-
nette OF Newport, an almost exact
counterpart OF Mrs. Vanderbilt in form
and feature, II was shortly after the
marriage OF Miss Virginia Fair to Will
liam X. Vanderbilt. Jr.. and her arrival
in this city that Miss Eddy noticed a
marked change in the attitude OF the
storekeepers OF Newport toward her
when she had occasion to visit their
establishments. The treatment Of her
was SO obsequious that Miss Eddy
could not account for II. and It was In
such striking contrast to that which
native Newporter is in the habit of
receiving that she could not fail to
notice 1t. After one or two experiences
Of this kind Miss Eddy began to won
der and was at loss how to account
for 1t. The mystery was explained
one afternoon on n visit to a fiorist's
establishment. when she was ad-
dressed as Mrs. Vanderbilt. The sit
uation dawned upon the pretty little
brunette like fash, and in n spirit
of fun she concluded not to enlighten
the florist as to his mistake. The now
city. too. OF the courteous treatment
she had received was rather too pleas
ant to dispel. Miss Eddy's simple
purchases did not seem to attract the
attention of the storekeepers from the
fact, perhaps, that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
already acquired the reputation of be-
ing thrifty housewife. For nearly
three months this had been kept up,
and now that Mrs. Vanderbilt has be-
come a familiar figure here and Is
known to every one in Newport, Miss
Eddy finds that on visiting store she
is now treated with less distinguished
courtesy. The situation is all the
more humorous to the young lady, as
she never by single act attempted to
carry, out the deception, the storekeep-
ers having deluded themselves.

REALISTIC LAKE BATHING.
Chicago Small Boy Defies the Law and
Scorus C1othiuu.

Summer is the joyous season when
the small boy goes down to the lake
front, climbs over the frowning wall
of the Illinois Railroad Company, tres
passes upon the right of way regard
less of the warning signs, and takes off
his clothes in view of the audience
when he has reached the breakwater,
says the Chicago Chronicle. Then he
jumps into the shallow water and
founders gleefuliy in the sand for some
time. Passing railroad trains filled
with passengers disturb him not. He
pays no heed to the disturbed gaze of
the resident on Lake avenue, who
views his antics with undisguised dis
favor. lie wants to swim, and there
Is the water, and what more Is neces-
sary? Anon comes the railroad police
man with raucous voice and threaten
ing club, hurting across the tracks,
filling the air with strange oaths and
ac-ing generally as though he We're
trying to disperse riotous mob. Then
the small boy takes his clothing, usual
ly consisting of two pieces, and HES
shelter of a boathouse. If the uniform
ed minion of the corporation pursues
him he Slips into the clothes with two
motions and defies the law. If the cop
per gets tired of the job and weakens
in the pursuit the small boy drops the
clothes and dives into the water again.
If only one small boy did this he
might not attract much notice. But
there is more than one small boy in
Chicago who pants for the cooling wa
ters of the lake on sultry days, and
when scores of them line the break
water pier they occasion some com
ment among passengers on the subur-
ban trains. The boys have never ac-
quired the bathing-suit habit. The
law prescribes 1t, but the small boy
| never did have much respect for the
law and ignores it unless it begins to
chase him with club. Therefore the
| spectacular effect of the bathers IS a
/ the flying trains.
| They don't give the boy much of a
! chance in Chicago. If he flies kite in
| the streets he is arrested; if he plays
/ basel ball on forbidden territory he is
| chased from it by the police; If be
| throws stones, one of the prerogatives
