A Gypsy Song.

o the night is good. and the wind is low
And the minstrel's tune rings clear,
And the troubadours a merry clan
With never foe 70 fear;
For we laugh by day, and love by night,
And spin our tales by the campfire light.
In the glow Of its simple cheer.
sing and jingle our tambourines,
And fiddle aud pipe and dance;
Thus your dolorous sympathy
And your copper coin. perchance.
But for no hapless winds blow
While the heart is glad and the spirits glow,
And the lips OF maid entrance.
o we envy you not your step.
Nor your roof so low and small;
Nor covet the gate that swings between
Your own and your neighbors wall.
Whom we meet on the road our neighbors are
And gypsies are comrades. far.
And earth is the home OF all.
Then, no for the wandering minstrel tribe,
For piper and flute and songI
There's a place in my hand for yours goo
friend.
That will aye be and strong.
For the open stretches broad and free.
And the read is wide as a road can be,
And the gypsy's faith is long.

these boy victims grow up they are sent
TO prison or an asylum. The more I'M
healthy society the more numerous the In
stitutions for the cure OF symptoms and
the less inclination for social reform. This
has stood between social injustice and real
progress from time immemoriaI.
RICH PARENTS AND IDLENESS.
II is horrible 10 observe what rich people
make out OF their children While stiu
young. passionate and inexperienced. the
boys and girls OF the upper ten thousand
are brought into contact with vicious liv-
ers, with unteaeble conditions and in these
they grow up until they consider them
natural. The result? They can live only
because others work for them. Without
other peoples work they would starve.
Boys and girls so brought up might as wei
be legless and armless; they are destined
by their parents either 10 be martyrs or
liars all their life.
Again. parents overload their children
with conventional work; no child should be
forced 10 work unless there * absolute
need Of il al the given moment. II had
10 choose between stocking a barren con-
tinent with angels (who are sexless). the
offspring OF the upper ten thousand. OF
children OF poor. but honest parents. I
would select the last as the nucleus for an
ideal race.
I repeat: the personal example set by tho
educator is the most telling and best edu-
cational measure. preaching, arguments
are usually more or less barren OF result.
Besides. the life OF a good man OF con-
scientious woms= is a splendid argument

and is too well known to require much
mention. She was first recommended by
Joseph Taggart, the baker, who was kind
and considerate enough TO acknowledge
that he could not possibly offer his patrons
such perfect brown bread Of the true Bos-
ton kind as was to be had from the poor
little woman far out on East Washington
street. Mr.. Taggart thought so well of
this particular brown bread that he did
everything in his power to help the brown
bread woman along, and was instrumental
in securing for her a regular patronage
that meant a living for her-all that she
asked.
Perhaps the most peculiar Of occupations
is that of the professional finder" There
may be numerous professional finders in
Indianapolis, but the only one that has at
tracted attention so far is the boy under the
bleachers at the baseball park. why, that
fellow makes from 20 to so cents every aft
ernoon when there is any sort of crowd out
here" declared Reuben Glue, the peanut
seller, the other day. During the Fourth
Of July afternoon game and again on the
Saturday afternoon when the Louisville
club played a 'double-header' here that boy
found enough nickels and dimes TO pay his
way on two Sunday excursions to Cincin-
natl. There were great crowds present on
those two occasions, and the bleachers were
packed. You see, the peanut. popcorn and
soda sellers are unable to walk about
among the spectators when every available
seat is taken, and we are obliged TO toss
our goods up TO our customers from the
foot of the stands. and our customers have
70 bai 70
nickels and silver pieces fall short of their
mark and drop between the seats to the
ground under the bleachers. That boy I'M
derneath has eyes like an eagle, and it's
mighty seldom that one of those stray coins
gets away from him.
THE APRON MAN"
The "apron man" is an interesting char
acter. He is known in all parts of the city
and has built up quite good trade. He was
at one time a very prosperous business
man in the East, but suffered a reverse
of fortune and met with series of trials
and hardships in business way. His
daughter makes the aprons which he sells
good. strong Bingham aprons of the kind
that all housekeepers appreciate. He offers
two patterns for sale. the usual kitchen
style that is tied around the waist and the
'Trilby" apron that extends up over the
bodice. He never urges anybody to pur-
chase his wares; he never goes to the
front door of a house, but always presents
himself at the kitchen entrance; he is
modest and retiring in disposition, and in
fact is as different from the average ped
dler as can possibly be. And everybody
likes the apron man." and if a house
keeper once buys an apron of him she is
usually ready for another one when he
comes around again.
