PIONEER BUILDING RAzEl!
Landmark of Early Montana
Days, Home Of City's Found
ers, Being Demolished.

Another OF the landmarks of Mis-.
soula and one OF the few remaining
reminders OF the founders of the city
will soon be blotted off the map and
out of sight forever, The old Higgins
house, on the corner of East Main and
Pattee streets, is being rapidly demol-
ished, and the lumber of the building
will be used for firewood. But the
timbers of the dean Of Missoula houses
are not coming to a lowly end. They
will be used by the salvation Army to
increase its woodpile and relieve the
sufferings of the poor.
The long, weather stained building
has been a familiar sight to all Mis-
soula residents for many years. The
buildings was composed of main
two story section with n long rakish
ne-story addition built on in back.
For many years. or better say decades.
the many Indians from the F1athead
country. down in the city on their fire.
qucnt visits, have used the lot back of
horses. and indeed, as n general camp
ing spot. The old fashioned, wealth
err stained house and the camping
aboriginies have made combination
which always bring back to mind the
early days Of Missoula and western
Montana. Now that 1t is gone it will
be sadly missed.
Built 60 Years Ago.
The house was built by Captain c.
p. Higgins, one of the founders of the
city. about 60 years ago. and though
blistcred by many suns and exposed to
many old-time western billiards., has
stood up well. and would have been
good for many more years. For gen.
erations the building was the prop
crty of the Higgins family and was
the home of at least part of them. but
some seven months ago the house was
sold by the members Of the Higgins
family to Frank I4usk Of Missoula.
Until about eight years ago the place
was occupied by descendants of the
original builder and owner.
Donated to Army.
After obtaining the property. Mr..
Lusk decided that the building was Of
no advantage to him, and donated the
whole house to the salvation Army,
with the understanding that they were
to tear it down and use the lumber as
Il welcome addition to their woodpile
for the poor. Laborers have. for sew
eral days, been busy in the razing
work. under the supervision of the
Army's local head, and in a few DAYS
there will be little left to show that
ono of the pioneer houses of the city
occupied the space.
Mr.. Lusk said yesterday that he has
made no plans regarding the lot and,
at present, has no expectations of
building there.

ORIGIN, HABITS AND RELIGION OF
 THE GYPSY RACE
Florence Van Glider

The Gypsies themselves do not know their origin, but they are supposed by most people to have come from India. The race is slow lv melting away, and there are now only about five million left, most of whom are found in Spain, Turkey, Hungary, Pennsylvania, Germany, France and Italy. The French call them Bohemians, from the belief that they were HussiteS driven from Bohemia. They call them selves Rommary from the word "rom," meaning man.
 GypSieS are remarkable for their rather olive colored skin, their jet black eyes and their beautiful white teeth. Owing to the fact that they live an unrestrained life in the open they carry themselves very erect. The Gyspy women are usually very beautiful when they are young, but their beauty lasts but short time,
 They have very poor morals. The children grow up in idlenesS' and are taught to beg, cheat, and steal, and to preserve their natural traits wherever they may go. They live a lazy indolent life, sometimes working in wood and iron, some times telling fortunes and practi- cing tricks.
 Their marriage ceremonies are very simple, consisting of a few words spoken lover the tongs.' If q husband becomes tired of his wife,
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-04-14

he turns her off without ceremony.
 Their language corresponds with the Indian dialect. It seems impos- sible for their similarity to be by chance, particularly, as their GUS toms show much of the Hindu character.
 Their talent for music is remark able, and some of their melodies are greatly valued by other nations,
 The Gypsies in Turkey follow the Mohammedan religion, and in Pennsylvania the Christian, but they do not care for instruction and have no interest in religion.
 Maria Theresa tried to convert them into orderly citizens. Her good plan, however, was intellectual. They prefer the lazy, carefree life, and are perfectly contended to roam from place to place, stealing, plum dering, and cheating.

colors of the tropics are not present; soft greens and yellows soothe the eyes, while the sky blue of a little lake reflects the gigantic red woods. These same redwoods, tow ering toward the heavens, shelter this land from the winds and pre- vent the suns hot rays from parch- ing the paradise below.

COFFEE HOUSES
 OF ADDISON'S DAY PICTURED
John Sauers

The coffee houses of Addison's day were the centers of news, and the meeting places for all men. We have nothing now like them because we have telephones, tele- graphs and newspapers. Every body went to the coffee house-the beggars, highwaymen, beaus, cour- tiers, authors, noblemen and clergy men. Business collected where the coffee was good and cheap and there could be heard all the news and gossip of the day. Only the men of equal rank went to the same club, as some of the more exclusive coffee houses were called. There was every kind of club, from the Fat Mans club to the Kit Kat club of the authors, and the people were as dependent on them as they are on the newspapers today.
