SOME DIFFICULT INTERVIEWING
A Gypsy Who Would and a
Gypsy Who Would Not Talk.
Experiences of a Lonoly
Reporter A Moral
REPORTER of tho
Herald Btaff was de
tailed yesterday to
visit tho gypsy en
campmont on Locust
Mountain. After
genuine up hill Walk
he "struck the camp'
and walked In. An
inquiry or twobrought
tho reportor in connection with "Jim"
Guy, ono of tho headlights of the encamp
merit.
"Jim" is a robust, well built, bronzed
fellow, and evidently has a heart that is
correspondingly in size with his structure,
"Certainly," said he, "I'll give yer 1
few notes."
"Say, mister, give us ahalf dollar, first,"
interrupted a well-built piece of humanity
on unsteady limbs.
"Thai's all fright, now, Jonas, the
gen'lemau comes up nicely and we'll treat
'im as eucb," said the party addressed by
the reporter.
"Yes, but I'd got a half out o' Mm ef 'ed
want tor talk ter me."
"Never mind, now; (turning to the
reporter) don't mind 'im 'es a little full."
What 'ill 'ave, sir?'
"How many people have you in camp?"
asked the reporter.
"Say, mister, haye yer got a 'alf ?" put
in tho other.
"Don't mind Mm; I'm "Jim" Guy and
my brother is "Pete" Guy, said th
interviewed. "What der yer want?"
At this stage tho reporter felt that he was
being cornered, and notwithstanding the
palm of peace held out by "Jim" ho felt he
would be obliged to "put up, or shut up,"
but tho scribe pinched tho solitary Goorgo
Geiger dollar in bis pocket until tho oaglo
screamed and then answered, "nows."
"Ef 'e wants news let 'im put up a 'alf,'
again put In tho irrepressible.
"What a lovely little child that is,'
suddenly oxclaimed the roporter, as ho
esplod a diminutive specimon of humanity
peeping from between the folds of a tent
entrance.
"Ain't 8ho a beaut' 1" exclaimed tho
civil one. "Say, she's but nine months
old, and oho walks and talks and weighs 45
pounds."
"No I" exclaimedtbo surprised reporter.
"Yes, indeed, sir; aint sbo a boauy?"
"Sho is, indeed. How many people
havo you In camp ?''
"We have"
"Say, haven't yer got a 'alt," put in the
great interjector.
"Oh, go set down;" said the communi
cator impatiently, "'e's all right."
"What is your name pleaso?" askod the
roporter, taking advantage of tho reproof.
"My name is James Guy, Peter is down
town, horse tradin'. " That little ono that
you 1 00 Is my daughter and my wife's
name is Dovio Guy. Hero's the jockey of
the camp. William Cauloy, 12 yoars of
ago, and 'e's a good 'un. 1'etor's mo
brother."
"Who is this man ?" asked tho reporter,
motioning towards the half-dollar man.
"O, 'es a member of the camp on Turkey
Run. Don't mind 'im, 'es a little lively
to-day.
"Say, pard, drop in a 'alf," Intorloctpd
the individual ln question, 'as be pulled off
his hat and held it so that its vacancy was
capable ol swallowing a bushel '"alfa."
"Are you English gypsies?" asked tho
reporter,
"Yes, In a way. There's my dad, thero,
he's from England. Let's see, what part
are you from, dad ? Sometshire, aint it?"
".Yes," came an answer from a groy
bearded, but well preserved voice.
"Don't say a word," put in the ob
streperous Individual. "It's worth a 'alf."
But the reportor bad struck tho key note
of a fathorly -heart in tho gypsy Inter
viewed, and tho fifty-cent scare-crow failed
in its effect.
Tho roporter learned that the band lo
cated near the cemeteries is of English
descent "Pete," the oldost In the camp,
not counting the father, was born in
Richmond, Ind. James, tho interviewed,
was born in Dayton, Ohio. Tho camp
numbor 24 souls, including four hired
hands, two of which are negroes. The
stock assets of tho camp comprise SO head
of horses "some good and some bad," as
"Jim" put in,
In accordance with his promise to "Jim"
tho roporter makes 'his - promiso to give a
legitimate report good.' "Jm" had evi
dently fell upon tome copies of the Ukrald
In which the doubts of Oouncilmen about
correC reports wort published, '
Rut, however that may be, the reporter
left the gypsy ,cmp with the conviction
that ho would rather be a gypsy than a
member of tho present Borough Council.
Why?
Because when you go to a gypsy camp to
trade horsus you aro preparod for a decep
tion, and if you aro "left" on a "deal" you
say, "I should bavn known better," and
tho gypsy says, ''That is not my fault."
But if I were a mombor of the present
Borongb Council and could not make my
statements of tho past fit with my stato-
mnnts of tho presont I should be obliged to
hang my head in shame.
Head the "Herald" lo-morrow. and note
the past and present statements of the
members 0 Council and the joint water
committee.
