Maklnn Money at Home.

A girl makes quite a nice sum of
money every Saturday morning the
year around by conducting an amuse-
ment and instruction class for chill
dren up to twelve years old. She
teaches them basket weaving, raffia
work and clay modelling. Before
Christmas the children make presents
for their parents. The class meets

no gypsies have been sent to jail for
their crimes. It does not take long
for farmers who have tasted of the
vengeance OF the gypsies they have
deiied to spread the news that the
swarthy tricksters mean what they
say when they make threats.
The average farmer is helpless
against fire. and, therefore. the aver.
age, good-natured Yankee farmer
meets a gypsy's terms in a horse
trade rather than incur a greater loss
by having some of his valuable prop
| erty burned to the ground. This may
seem weak on the part of the Yam
kee farmer but the farmer knows the
evil-eyed, dark-skinned parasites will
not impose upon him two years in sue
cession, and so he trades fairly good
horse for a brokendown nag, saves
his stock and crops, and takes par
ticular pains in the future to dodge
the chicken-stealing tribesmen.
While gypsies are too cautious, as
a general rule, to steal horses.

where men would give them chase.
they handle horses stolen by gang
sters in New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Chicago, St. Louis and other large
cities in which nags disappear mys-
teriously of which no trace can ever
be found.
1t was after the passage of the
Mann act by congress and the break
ing up Of the methods of interstate
traffic In women which brought about
the passage Of the law, that the gyp-
sizes were hailed into the trade by
clever procurers in the large cities,
who assured them of big profits.
Gypsies, as has been said, acknowl-
edge no country. In their religion,
which is a religion of hate, they have
no word for God, soul, or heaven.
They have their own king, whom they
elect yearly at a seaport in Spain.
This king is supposed to be inducted
into office by the sacrifice of two white
babies. In recent years, the gypsies
have found it safer to forego the
actual sacrifice of the babies, but year

and are adopted by the king
Some of the gypsies are men Of
magnificent physique, and the battles
fought for the great honor of being
dubbed "king" would make the aver
age censored prize fight appear like
child's play.
The gypsies travelling the United
States and now seen camping along
the roads are no better educated than
the gypsies who travel the European
countries The gypsy literature is
preserved chiefly by word of mouth,
mothers and fathers teaching their
young the gypsy traditions, and those
traditions are kept as fresh as are
the Mother Goose tales Of more en-.
lightened people The gypsy is not
devoted in any way to the arts Oc-
Casionally, however, a great musician
arises from the gypsy tribes. Occa-
sionally, too, the gypsies turn out an
intellectual light, such as Gypsy
Smith, the evangelist, who is pure
blood gypsy, and did not sleep in
bed until he was twelve years old.

Natural silk Hose.

The pale tan stockings so fashion
able this summer with skirts of dark
material, are most often of natural
silk, this shade having particular
delicate, lustrous appearance over the
flesh of instep and ankle. With slip

stockings are very smart, worn with
frocks or black or navy blue pussy

rhe New french RIbbonn.

Paris finds, for one thing, that rib
bons made this year are of very in
ferior quality. The French ribbon In
dustry, 1t seems, was largely carried
on by men. The men went to war and
women went into the ribbon factories.
They are doing their best, but as yet
the best ribbons they can turn out are
inferior to the ribbons the Paris dress-
makers desire.
In some cases the dressmakers can
make silk take the place Of ribbons.
But this poor quality of ribbons has
helped to decide the nature OF the
trimming Of autumn millinery.

this country. AS a race, they have
been charged with having been active
IN the so-called white slave" trade
There is direct evidence against some
OF the American tribes, showing that
hundreds of the swarthy wanderers
have lured away young white girls
from towns, villages and farms, and
sold them into captivity. Moreover,
there is evidence that the gypsies have
sold their wives and daughters into
captivity, indicating that the morals
Of the gypsies are degenerating.
American communities which have
become aware of the dangerous white
slave practices Of the gypsies are look
ing upon the horse-trading, fortune
telling, thieving gypsies with more
suspicion than usual at this time.
They are warning young girls to
keep away from the camps where
formerly they went to have their for
tunes told, warning householders to
keep gypsy women out of their homes,
and warning cOnstables to keep a
sharp lookout for the men who prom
ise servant girls chances for good
Jobs in the large cities.
The gypsy has thrived for many
years in the United States, where he
is still somewhat of a curiosity. His
glib tongue, his skill in handling
horses, his persistence and his trick
cry have enabled him to accumulate
much money, which he stores in
banks. Picturesque, untidy, fortune
telling gypsy women have ably as
sisted their lords in accommodating
money, for they have a decided facul-
ty for coaXing silver pieces from the
pockets of superstitious women, who
firmly believe the gypsies have the
power Of foretelling events.
Gypsies have never gone through
the crucible which makes Americans
out Of foeigners. They have stead
lily, as a race, refused to become Amer
leans. First and last they are gyp-
sizes and highly proud Of their Romany
extraction. They seldom marry out
side of their own race, and, with but
few exceptions, they refuse to identify
themselves with any nation. The
gypsies now travelling the highways
of England may be travelling the New
England States next year; the gypsies
who have made France their travel
ing ground the past decade may make
their camps this summer in Ohio and
Indiana, while the Austrian gypsies
may choose Michigan and Illinois, or
Missouri and Kansas for their next
operations. In whatever country they
are found the habits and customs Of
the gypsies are the same.
, Gypsies, here today and there to-
morrow, have operated in the rural
districts very much in the same man
ner that the black-hand organizations
have operated in New York, Chicago,
Pittsburgh and the coal regions of the
United States. In order to make farm
ers agree to their terms In horse
trades, gypsies have boldly stated
that, If their terms are not accepted,
they will burn down barns, poison
stock, or burn haystacks. They have
boldly stated, and they still so state
to dwellers in rural communities, that,
if persons appear against them in
court, the vengeance Of the tribe will
be visited upon such persons
There have been farmers who have
defied the threatening gypsies, and
such farmrs have had their barns

San Francisco market that averaged
l.52O pounds each. They were taken

cattlemcn who saw them that this
shipment is the best that ever went
out OF the county. There were niney-
four head, each animal as slick and
perfect as 1t is possible to find them
anywhere. When we realize that a
