The True Gypsy.
FROM THE SCHOOL

Gypsies are often considered out
casts of society, and are usually
scorned or distrusted by Americans.
They do not care to wear the bonds
of society, and maintain close reserve
toward outsiders, whom they call
gorgioes. We commonly think OF
them as wandering bands of idlers.
and attribute to them the charac
teristics of fortune telling and pilfer
ing.
However, people who know the
gypsies and have secured ii glympse
of their true life, do not agree with
this view. They admit that the
lower class of the race resort to dis
honest means when hunger drives
them, but there are many who are
different.
One woman who is acquainted with
the true gypsy, tells of visit to a
camp Of Hungarian American Stan
leys. This is large family which
has its headquarters in Chicago. The
woman approached the fortune teller,
and placing her hand in the gypsy'S,
she waited until she raised her dark
eyes. Then the woman said 10 thu
RomanY tonnne, "Will you tell my
fnF fri "A ina hn
gypsy woman called all the camp
around her, and the attitude toward
the visitor became much less reserved.
The Romantics never disclose their
language to strangers, so they regard
anyone who knows it as a true friend.
1t acts as talisman, unlocking the
door to their inner life.
The favorite mode of life of the
gypsy is travelling IN large, red van.
Those OF the . better class have the
vans furnished with a table attached
to the wall, stove, and chest OF
drawers. Under the floor are com.
partments for bedding and food.
Some have windows with curtains
over them. Often they have racks to
carry fodder for the horses.
The gypsies marry young. They
usually go to Justice of the peace,
but II they are Catholics, as all are
who have any religion, they go TO a
priest. The young couple always
have van to themselves, and have
their own camp fire. 1t is said that
gYpSies carefully preserve the prlnci-
pie of home life.
The number of gypsies IN America
is estimated to be about sixty thou
sand. They group themselves into
the Il We divisions, German American.
English A mtrican, Hungarian Ameri-
Gao, and Russian American. 1t Is
generally thot that the race came
from India several thousand years
ago.

THE BIRD WAS THERE.
A Surprias For the Man Who investi-
gated the News flake"

Some years ago strange, weird sto-
ries used TO float into Washington from
Kitty Hawk. N. c., describing great
bird, seen only Mt night, towering over
the sand dunes and brushwood of the
locality.
1t was 80 preposterous that Kitty
Hawk was soon eliminated us a news
source In every metropolitan newspa-
per office. Washington would not ac-
cept such stories under any circum-
stances. The boys on Newspaper row
were too experienced to be caught by
North Carolina takers.
Kitty Hawk was wiped off the news
map.
And yet the reports of the great
bird seen only after nightfallr' were
absolutely true. After some of us had
exhausted our fund of oriental lore
about the roc-that gigantic bird that
was of such use to anxious Schahera-
zade of the Thousand and One
Nights in rescuing Sinbad and other
unlucky travellers from danger-and
others had gone SO far as to suggest n
return of the tabled dodo In stupendous
proportions. 1t was finally suggested
that somebody go to Kitty Hawk and
expose the faker.

famine. 1t has been impossi-

Yet the fact sugar is so scarce
there gives us a line on what

not much higher than it was
