Several thousand gypsies of Croatia
recently held an open-air Indignation
meeting at Odra to protest against the
measures to put a stop to their wander
ings, the authorities having ever threat
ened, If necessary, to set fire to their
encapments. The orators warmly de-
Tended the time-honored privileges Of
che race, especially the free vagabond
life inherited from their forefathers
from time immortal. The meeting was
unanimous as to the necessity of APP
pealing TO some protector to intereede
for them. The majority looked to the
ban of Croatia, Count Kheun-Hedervary,
but there was a strong minority in favor
Of applying 10 the archduke, Joseph,
the king of Hungarian gypsies, while a
few of the more radical orators recon-
mended emigration en- masse from
Croatia 10 Bosnia ard Herzegovina.
This suggestion was rejected by a show
Of hands, whereupon a free eight ensued
between the Banites and Josephites,
and there was no decision.
There was a startling departure from
che conventional at a wedding cele.

tives, these clad more or less, particu-
larly less. On our Journey many incl
dents perhaps too trifing To mention,
but very amusing at the time, helped 70
keep us In excellent humor. One was
the frequent braying Of the donkey rode
by Miss May Talmage. His vocal per-
formances reminded her father of expe-
riences in a church choir in his younger
days. After awhile the doctor grew
very tired Of his donkey. and decided to
substitute q camel for him. AS camcls
are plentiful in Egypt, his wish was
gratifed at the first stop we made. His
experience on camel back soon led him,
however, 20 prefer the donkey's gtAtle
gait. No N who has not seen q camel
walk can understand the ludicrous fig
ure the nlnstrious preacher cut on the
awkward creatures back. First he was
logged forward, then he fell backward,
and found the just position only to have
his nose tossed violently against the
curious saddle hat forms part Of Q cam
els outfit. He looked SO inexprcssibly
comical that WI whisked out our Kadacs
in a jify. and before he could straighsen
out the broad grin with which he tried
to cover his embarrassment, it was i'm
mortalized. To make my story short,

scratched its hind legs with the same
