TWO GIRLS SOLD FOR $500.
AImcst a Riot Prccipitated at Mcmonice. III.
by Gipsies' Out!andish Practices.

Chicago. April 10.-A special to The
Tribune from Kankakee, Ills. says the
sale of two girls, members of a gypsy
band at Memoniee, this county
Wednesday, brought on a riot that for
a time threatened serious trouble. So
angry were the citizens over the ,raf-
fic that a mob was formed which drove
the gypsy band from town.
The deal which caused the trouble
was the sale of Juanita Costello and
Marget Czech, II and II years Old, by
their guardians. Nicholas K2roptkinn,
q Russian, to a Brazilian, also n MEM
Der of the band, the price paid being
$500. The girls refused to recognize the
sale and threatened their prospective
master.
The Brazilian then swore out war
rant for Karoptkinn's arrest, charging
the obtaining OF money by false PIE
lenses.
\ squad of police was found neces-
s3ry to secure Tie Russian. who drew
= revolver on the officers. The failure
TO secure an Interpreter made it inDos-
sjbIe to get evidence against the priS-
oner and he was discharged.
During the trial before Magistrate
LLOYD. the mob gathered. Threats of
Iyuching and of tar and feathers were
made. The Eypsics hastily packed up
their belongings and fed.

Of the far away past, because there are
no more little ones to have their eve
ming frolic or bed time story, the hour
once devoted to them becomes the
mothers hour. 1t is an hour in which

At her mothers knee as she was wont
when she listened to the evening story
But now she tells the story to the
mother; the story of her day, her fears,
her hopes, her ideals. Happy is that
daughter who can come to her mother
as her best friend, as sure of her COM
passion as of her counsel.
