THE GYPSiES.


They Are a Separate People, n Tr&h@
quite by Themselves.
'Suah as wake on the night and B3eap
On the day and haunt taverns and ale
houses and no man wot from whence
they come nor whittier they go" So
quantity describes an old English stat
ate against the gypsies. Ever since the
year 1880, says a writer in the Londo0
Standard, Great Britain has tried TO get
rid of this strange people without ap-
probable success. Every year or 80
some county Is up In arms against
them, yet they persist In returning and
apparently thrive under persecution.
The gypsies are popularity supposed
to come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates. but their origin 10 trac
ed farther east than the land of the
Nile. Wherever they come from, they
are a separate people. tribe quite by
themselves.
They appeared in England about
1905, and twenty six years later Henry
VIII. ordered them to leave the coun-
try In sixteen days, taking all their
goods with them. An outlandish PEG
ple," he called them. The act was In
efectual, and In 1852 Elizabeth framed
a still more stringent law, and many
were hanged.
But what numbers were executed"
says one old writer, yet notwith-
standing, all would not prevaile, but
they wandered as before, uppe and
downe" They got into Scotland and
became an intolerable nuisance. Both
in that country and in England legisla
ton proved quite Intellectual. The acts
gradually fell into desuetude. Under
George w. all that was left Of the ban
against the gypsies was the mild law
that any person telling fortunes shall
be deemed a rogue and vagabond."
"Gypsies are no longer a prescribed
class" says a recent writer. Probably
the modern gypsy does little evil be-
yond begging and petty theft, but his
determination not to work Is as strong
as ever, and 1t seems curious that an
Industrial people like ours continues to
tolerate a horde of professional oilers"
How numerous the horde is may be
gathered from the fact that the number
who wintered in Surrey one year was
estimated at 10000.
The language as well as the life of
the gypsy tribe has tenacity of its
own. Many of their words have taken
arm hold in half slang, half permits
sibly way. Shaver is the gypsy word
for child. Pal is pure gypgy CodQei
means a man. Cutting up is gypsy for
quarreling, and cove stands for that
fallow."
