GYPSIES TOLD TO
ITO BE ON THEIR Way
Police Had Little Consi Iteration for
Wanderers who Have Outlived
Welcome In Vermont.

For the third time this summer
Bennington has been the rendezvous
for band of gypsies. This time
Wednesday afternoon for the third
time the nomads, travelling so aristo
cratically in their high powered cars
have been unceremoniously pursued
or rather escorted beyond the city
limits.
The wanderers have come to loose
whatever warm place they may ever
have had in the hearts of Vrrmont
police officials. The reasons ~
numerous and self evident. Whence
came the machines, the gasoline to
drive them, the food; the raimant!
Certainly not from Bennington.
Several swarthy matrons, as mot
ley dressed as Aunt Jemima, tried
their level best to visit local mer
chants. They pleaded unayailingly
for a chance to leave some of their
hard earned gold in Bennington cot
fers
One by one each of the eight ma
chimes were rounded up and headed
In a southerly direction. Each car
bore a load of humanity, young and
old. with hearts hardened toward our
generally sympathetic populace.

Moorish Influence on Spain.

In the Eighth century the whole OF
Spain. except Asturlas, was conquered
by the Moors, and their vocabulary,
phrases and proverbs made lasting
effect on the Castllian tongue. .

war, agriculture, Irrigation, gardening,
and the administration of justice are
derived from Arabic; they are, indeed
the Arabic words themselves taken
