II was during the forenoon recess on
the first day Of school that several Of
the boys ran down to the corner by the
Confectionery Store to watch band of
Gypsies that had drawn their horses to
a standstill at that place. One of the
Gypsy men had climbed down from his
wagon and gone into bakery near by to
purchase some bread and cakes. A small
boy, of perhaps ten years of age, sat In
the front seat, holding the horses lines.
In the back of the wagon sat tousle-
haired woman with brown baby In her
lap and two larger children, uncombed
and unwashed, beside her. Also there
was an old woman, looking as though she
might have passed the hundredth mark,
sitting doubled up in the box of the
wagon, closely scanning all those who
gathered curiously about the wagon. In
the rear of this wagon were two others
Of the same sort, loaded with camping
outfits, boxes of provisions and bedding,
while on top of their loads sat women and
children, and in the seats at the front of
the wagons were men and boys, smoking
and managing the lines of the horses.
Several brown men with black brows and
shaggy hair were on horseback, sitting
their saddles as though they had grown
to them, carelessly, and with indolent
ease, smoking cigarettes or pipes. These
dismounted at times and dropped into
various shops along the street, buying
liquors and tobacco. One of them bought
playing cards at little book store on
the corner.

Some Interesting Facts
About the Co1os-
scum at Rome.

"The most imposing building in the
world" is what might be said of the Co.
losseum were it standing in its perfection
today. 1t originally covered six acres of
ground, the walls of which remain to
some extent to this day, giving US the
buildings exact proportions Its great
est length was 620 feet, and its greatest
breadth was 513 feet The outer wall is
157 feet high in its entire length.
Encircling the arena, at a height of
about twelve feet, ran the pedium on
which were seats for the emperor, SEN
ators, nobility and persons of distinction.
To quote from Montaigne will give an
idea of the capacity Of the Colosseum and
of It's magnifcence:
"It was doubtless fine thing to plant
within the theatre a great number of
trees, with their branches in full verdure,
representing a great shady forest. dis
posed In excellent order, and the first
day to throw into it thousand ostriches
a thousand stays, thousand boars and a
thousand fallow deer, to be killed and
disposed Of by the people; the next day
to cause a hundred great lions. a hundred
leopards, and three hundred bears to be
killed in his presence And on the third
day to make three hundred pair OF fencers
to fight It out to the last-as the EN-
peror Probus did. 1t was also very fine
to see those vast amphltheatres, all faced
with marble without, curiously wrought
with figures and statues, and inside
sparkling with decorations and enrich
ments; all sides of this vast space filled
from the bottom to the top. with three or
