Gypsy Fortune Telling
Why ''Dukkering'' Is a Mixture of Common Sense and the
 Marvellous.

Marvellous.
 From Riley M. Fletcher Berry's "The American Gypsy in August Century.
 The fortune telling of the Gypsies, or "dukkering, asthey themselves call it, is a wonderful thing, and-a power undeniably | supernormar which reads ''past, l bfe5ent and future, yer wish an all yez want to know" But, 1 though the Romany's gifts are marvellous they cannot strictly | be said to be related to psychical phenomena. Yet they are as in- teresting being delightfully."- human, and as ni4terious and baffiing as East Indian jug glefy.
 The Romany's usual method Of divining the future is by the palm, though it is sometimes by cards, sometimes by dropping coins into clear waters and again By certain charms, varied by trihing slig ht-of-hand perform ahces. In the G. psy's palmis- try there is no book learning and little science" although they profess to attach some import ance to the lines of the heart and life. For the lines and mounts Gypsies have their own eXplana- tions, which sometimes happen to coincide with those of the ordi- nary gorgof pianist but which for the most part are not to be found in any written book.
 It is almost entirely upon face reading and cultivated, keen, ready perception of general char acteristics that the Gypsy depend. Noting escapes her quick eye and brain. The bearing of stranger, the. dress, speech, and manner, the expression and type of fea- ture and a thousand details which would be overlooked as unimpor- tant trifes by a grogie, count with the Romany. She refuses to "dukker" before more than one person at a time. possibly on the plea that she belongs to a secret order" which forbids it, or that fortune told in such manner would not come true. These state meHts, though delicousiy appetiz- ing, are lacking in truth, for the fact is only that she needs the undivided attention of the one who consrlts of concentration of mind, In Justice to the Gypsy, it should be taken into considera- tion that the atmosphere of of skepticism which is apt to sur round gay party of curiosity seekers is not conducive to sue cess in the exercise of any pro- fession.
 The Romany, fortune teller is an adept in the art of fattery, for there are few exceptions to the rule that nothing is so inter estlng as ones self. The Gypsy knows how to draw out uncon- scious admissions or confessions by her oft-repeated, Do ye on'esstan' mel" and Can ye look me in the eyes an say it is not the truth Pm a-tellin' you?" She forces the acknowledgment of truths at which she has al ready shrewdly guessed, and such admissions are the stepging stones by which her knowledge grows from more. Ske can, for instance, recognize at a glance the tokens of sadness to which the casusl observer if blind, and whether the unmistakable stamp Is from sorrow by visitation of death or the result of bitter earth ly disappointment, the odds are that the Gypsy will make the sit ter tell,her without being aware of having done so.
 As a rule, as have said, she flat ,ters with brave promises of fair future, but if displeased she may 50 threaten with the vigorous.

GATHERING OF CINDERS

EDITOR OF THE WILLIAMS NEWS: I beg to submit herewith a few cinders gathered from the dust heaps and foot prints of patriot path finders gone before. This is regarding the homestead I never received on the Coconino National Reserve:
 My tent gleamed where the cactus flowers nod, My stakes were driven into the sod, My blow share cut the fertile loam Simply that but ranger twas pros-
 pective home. Perhaps some day my eyes.now growing dim, Shall see great trees nod OCT the spot Where unchecked "Pinchotism" ever Rules with maddened Rod. Perhaps in years to come the Zephyrswild Will whisper round a mansion home. Perhaps beneath star of unkindly fate My throw against the mistic spell Enshrouded by the gloom of western hate. But, with aspirations born of western zeal Ilinger long to drop tear beside This tent and broken reed. had left far behind me the scenes of my
 boyhood.
 My pulse beat fast with the pressure of joy, came to these parts which in memory is
 so dear to me, But the greeting of welcome is a thing of
 the past
 But now there's greeting around me awaiting No rest for tho weary; no homesteading here. saw just the spot where sought to cast
 anchor.
 found it all there just as fond dreams had
 pictured it,
 But hold one moment-a serious f1awi A notice posted upon the edge of the valley "Homesteading here is forbidden by law" But whether all my dreams shall be in vain, Or whether Forest Gods add aye or nay, Come sun or shadow, drouth or welcome rain My stakes and tent, and blow. and hopes,
 and fears
 Is triumphant all above these tears Tell me where are the lands we wrenched
 from Apache Way back in the days of Crook and his staff? Come, let's go back to the days of Old Gerony This country extends us no welcome,I fear, The days of our boyhood are perished forever. The reign of the demagogue runs riot here , For old Uncle Sam is deep in the gutter and The laws of the country in the hands of the
 graft.
 The places now for the pioneer set is near The moon where it's not dry nor wet, and To enjoy life and not be spurned Be sure and have your bridges burned. Or you may chance a throw in the birthstone Lake. but you'll find the land shark along
 in the wake.
 Or, perhaps, you may be allowed to sit on the o-lII a But leering loop in the service of graft will Bear you away on his cursed raft, Or the Forest Imps filled with private stuff Will prod you up until you say enough. "But look at the roses saluting each other, Look at the herds all at peace on the plains. Man and man only makes war on his broteer, And dotes in his heart on his peril and pain."
