The Home of a Gypsy Prince.

A modest brick house standing a little way back from the street, in a suburb of the city of Dayton, Ohio, is the property and part of the year the home of a gypsy of wide repute, the heir apparent to a throne in Little Egypt; and here, and hereabout, is the rendezvous of a numerous band or tribe. This settlement is widely known as the home of some of the richest and most influential families of gypsydom, among them the Stanleys, of whom the present head. Levi, is called the king, This Levi Stanley is a short, heavy-set man of something over 70 years. He is still strong, and active, with a ruddy cheek and bright eye. Much of his time is passed with the traveling parties, while his oldest son, Levi, Jr., a stalwart, .handsome man of 50, assumes much of the active direction of affairs, looking after property, etc. Lying scattered about to the north of Dayton are many line farms owued by them. At the present most of the farms are in the hands of tenants, for however near the gypsy may be to the primeval man he hits not yet developed a strong liking for the labor of the primeval occupation. •■vren, now,- sTa an cna Tamer ivher. his cow had kicked him, the »rilk stool and the pail in different directions, “that’s the worst fault this low’s got.” FITS.
