Gypsies in This Country.

At present there are probably be-
tween three and four hundred gyp-
sizes in the northern states. A few
summers ago there was band Of
gypsies numbering fifteen or twenty,
who pervaded New England and en-
camped in divers localities. The
men were all thinkers, and professed
to make living by mending pots
and kettles but, unless the farmers
of the regions they infested did them
great injustice, a propensity to con-
fiscate poultry unlawfully was one of
their besctting sins. They conversed
together in the cultural gibberssh
spoken by the tribe everywhere, and
differed IN no respect from their
brethern in Spain, France, England
and Germany.
Like the Jews, the gypsies have
preserved their individuality in all
countries, and are the same, as re-
CARDS their nomadid instincts, morals
and features, as they were in the
early part of the fifteenth century.
1t is popularity supposed that they
are of Egyptian descent, but nobody
knows their origin. not even them
selves. They are evidently, however,
the scions of some eastern stock, and
have preserved the oriental peculiar
ity of laziness unimpaired. We once
asked a gypsy, woman what region
she supposed to be the original habit
at of her tribe, to which she replied
that they dwelt in Egypt when Mary
and Joseph fled from the persecu-
tions of Herod and that they closed
their doors against the fugitives. A
ao-ahcad country like the United
States is not congenial to them

Congressman John Alien told 4
good story at Chamberlain's last
night, says the Washington Post.
Referring to election days down in
Mississippi Mr.. Allen told Of an elec-
tioneer who grandiloquently referred
to the cid saying: The office
should seek the man, not the man
the office.
A few days afterward the speaker
was noticed electioneering in old
fashioned style, with drinks and ci-
gars, etc. Being called down and
asked about his assertion OF few
days before that "the office should
seek the man." he replied:
II still maintain my position. The
office should indeed seek the man,
but, by, sab the man should he
around when the Office is looking for
him"

"You could il you looked in your

And having finally bluffed Mrs.
Bowser down he began to smile and
look happy again, and before going
to bed he even sought to compliment
her by saying;
GAS soon as | post you up little

an argument with an ordinary man

She slipped on her big straw hat, ran
out Of a side entrance and-collided
headlong with n tall stranger who
was standing with his back to her at
the outer entrance, TRANQUILITY send
ing whirls of tobacco smoke toward
the heavens. 1t was the nephew,
she knew, and she hesltated mo-
ment whether she should stand her
ground or fly. She had half formed
the apology she knew she should
make when the big forms hat went
off AS he vhirled on his heel. He
stammered:
why-why- Miriam -
The little governess looked just
one moment-a moment which seem
ed an age-and then, half hysteric-
ally crying out, everything began to
dance before her and she did the best
possible thing under the circumstan-
ces and-fainted,
When she came to herself he was
standing before her, this stranger,
waiting for the water which he had
ordered a servant to bring after the
first outcry. She was lying in a
sheltered spot on the lawn slope. AS
she opened her eyes the stranger
leaned over and tenderly said:
"Do YOU know me now?'
Yes" she said, with a great in
clination to laugh, Historically.
"You are Mr.. Rutherford.
"Why don't you say George, dear
est" he said lmpetuously, and then,
suddenly recollecting himself he
said: "but perhaps l have not
the right to use such an express
ion 2"
Why didn't you answer my let
ters?" asked the little governess.
why didn't you answer minc?"
Il did. | wrote you twice, and
snd--thought you had forgotten
me" with sob which opened the
way to good cry.
They went into the breakfast room
arm in arm.
Hello, calculated Mr.. Harmony ;
'how's this?"
"Uncle," said Mr.. Rutherford,
"you'll excuse me. won't YOU, if |
rob you Of a sweet little woman who
promises to take care. Of your chill
oren for you. Yes, sir, Miss Burns
and are coiag to get married you

were sweethearts long ago, and just

"Humph," said Mr.. Harmony, as
he attacked the sugar-bowl for a
fresh lump for his coffee.
Il suppose | enter very little into
your calculations whether | consent
or not. But I'll agree on one con-
dition only--that You live here and

Miriam Burns laid the paper aside
slowly Y and deliberated. There was
no apparent reason why the situation
would not suit her, and she it. She
was well qualified, in an educational
way, for the trust the place promis
ell. She had, also, no ties to bind
her to the country town in which she
had been born and reared. She sigh
ed little when her memory ran
back on what might-have-becn, but
in the end she, like a brave little
woman as she was, put aside senti-
ment for business and posted an ap-
plicaton for Mr. Harmony's posi-
ton.
Miriam had had lover during the
first days Of school-teachiDg, a hand
some, worthy young man named
Rutherford-George Rutherford.

from George. asking her to name a
day when he could meet her on half
way ground and be married. She
had answered it, and then, six month
afterward, she had written again. but
she awaited a response to eth
er.
Rutherford, she knew, was not
dead, She had heard of him, through
other channels, once since. lie was

his Western home. This was her TO-

an enthusiastic recommendation from
the school board, which even If it had
refused her her old position and
elected a niece of one of the directors
to her place, nevertheless recognized
her good qualities and felt happy at
an opportunity to show their 'PPfe-
citation. The result OF the al'led eA-
hibit was that Miriam became M''

Mr. Harmony was a man of busi-
ness, bound up in his commercial
pursuits. He had grown especially
