We claim exactly all
this for Graybeard. It's
no new thing to us. 1t has
cured many just such
ailments. It is purely a
vegetable compound,
and for building up a
broken down, nervous
system it is truly won
derful. For eradicat-
ing old and deep seated
diseases, as catarrh,
eczema, dyspepsia, can
GER, rheumatism, it has
no equal On earth. 1t is
free of mercury or pot
ash, and begins to build
up the sick man from
the first.

this respect they differ from the old
time burglars, who, after a successful
burglary. lived on the fat of the land,
ana usually dressed In the height OF
fashion. The 'yeggman' IL not, as u
rule, u freQuenter of resorts patrOnized
by professional criminals, ana In the
cities he visits he rarely associates with
local thieves or men of criminal repute.
There Is remarkable loyalty to each
other among these 'yeggmen.' Das-
tardly murders, many bank ana safe
burglarles, ana other crimes have been
committed by them, and large amounts
have been offered rs rewards for in

are not looking to make money this
way, ana few come forward with in

money consideration. 1t IL rarely that
one becomes Il States witness.
There IL one set of these tramp
thieves who do what they call fence
railing This consists of locating and
robbing u miser living In some Out-Of.
thc-way country place. Where victim
of this kind has been selected, a band
OF four or five will visit his house ut
night and ram the door In with fence
rail or post, ana, after gaining entrance,
ignite huge cotton waste torches sat
urated with oil, making the victim and
his family believe the house IL ON fire.
When the people run out they are
bound, tortured, and compelled to re-
veal the hiding place Of their money
and valuables.
IN their operations the 'Yeggs' are
usually masked, ana prefer to commit
rObberies In towns where there IL lit

town about a year ago, II band of
'Yeggs' bent on rObblng the p0stOffice,

on being shown thereto, bound the
marshal and locked him up, after which
they burglarixed the post0ffice and es-
capped.
