(Dayton Journal.1

dayton Journal.
Recently, on the midnight train
from Cincinnati, the corpse of Mrs.
Matilda Stanley arrived from Vicks-
burg. She died there very suddenly
from the effects of cancer that
has been troubling her for a long
time. Her son, Levi Stanley, ac-
complained the corpse, having it in
charge since leaving Vicksburg.
Mrs. Stanley was known AS the
Queen of the Gypsies, and her
authority as such was recognized
by all the tribes in the United
States and Canada. Her family
is very wealthy, and owns great
deal of real estate in and about
Dayton. They came here first
about twenty years ago. and, liking
the neigborhood, settled down,
purchasing land and adding to
their possessions from year to year.
The Stanley tribe, which remains
with the family, numbers several
hundred In toe summer they
stay in Dayton, but in the winter
emigrate back to the South, always
travelling in wagons. For some
years past her son, Levi Stanley,
has assumed general management
of affairs of the tribe, and he has
become known as King of the Gyp-
sizes, but his mother retained actual
control He is a powerful, fine
looking man of about thirty FIVE,
uneducated, but shrewd and intel
ligent, and pleasing in his manners.
The body of his mother has been
embalIned, and is to be placed in a
tomb until next June, when the.
gypsies from all parts Of the coun
try will assemble, and it will be
buried after the customs of this
peculiar people.

The SyOsns that Lived ia n
Chestnut.

Once there was worm that lived
in the heart of a large chestnut.
How he got there he never knew.
In fact, | don't believe he ever
thought anything about it. But he
was there, snug and warm with n
plenty to eat, and tiny hole to let
in the air.
The nut was lying on the ground
with number of It's relations, all
among some autumn leaves, and the
wee worm could hear the leaves
Whispering together when the wind
came that way.
sob how frightened we arc" they
would say. "The trees have let us
fall, and soon we shall. be blown we
know not where
but we need fear nothing said
the chestnuts to each OTHER. Chest
nuts can't be blown about like dry
leaves. True, the wind, when he is
III IA great hurry, gives us little
roll. but that's only fun-it don't
frighteu us Bit"
As for the worm, he said TO him.
self, because he had no one to SAY it
TO, '-l'd rather be even "A leaf than u
worm in a chestnut, no matter where
the wind blew me, for then | should
at least see something. Its awful
stupid being slut up here"
Well, one morning there was IL
sound in the woods that was neither
a song of the birds, the whistiing of
the wind, nor the whispering of the
leaves.
1t was the joyful sound of childish
voices, and the little worm heard the
children running gayly about, shout
ing-to each other.
20, dear. o, dear. | think they
are alter US. This is worse than the
wiud," said the leaves.
But the worm said to himself, $
hope they will let me out of this
little house, so that may go about
and see what a wood is really like
Just then he felt the .'poky little
house" lifted from the ground, aud
little girl called out in great glee =
''Oh! I've found great big one-a
splendid one
Then sharp cracking sound al
most stunned hun, and he felt the
cop of the chestnut cave in, and
then lac heard the little girl give a
shrih scream, and cry out in "a very
different tone from that she had
cried out in before:
.'Ohl oh what a horrid, horrid
worm y and she flung it away from
her, with all her strength, far into
the grass.
Il don't care,n said the worm to
himself. "Now can come ont any
how
An he came out and was nipped
that very moment by sparrow that
was hopping about on the ground
looking Tor something to eat.
