IT HE preparations for the Knights
Templar ball are moving OH har-
i moniously. The only fly in the
ointment, or crumpled rose leaf, which
ever way you choose to quote it, is that
so many more knights want to come
than can possibly be accommodated in
this city unless there is more general
opening of hospitable doors. 1t would
seem that almost anybody would be
glad to entertain a. Knight Templar
with long white plume and a lot OF
crosses and bangles, ETC., but this sup
position is apparently erroneous. the
only explanation must be that all the
men who are not Knights Templar are
jealous of the advantages which the
favored enjoy at the annual conclave
and have no desire to take into their
homes a beautiful creature with feath-
ers and red and white applique on
his uniform who will go blithely off
to the ball with the wife and daughters
of the family while the head of the
house Is excluded.

The "YcGg'' and His work.
Originally the Yeggnan was only a
tramp or hobo, but through association
with professional criminals, either in
prisons or "on the. road" he has acquired
some knowledge of high explosives, and
has utilized it to blow open safes and
vaults. Numerous experiments have

robbing one another. Tramps have fire.

railroad trains, who, if the truth were
known. were killed by their associates
while resisting robbery of themselves. or
in quarrel over division of spoils. Many
of the Yeggmen seem utterly devoid of
conscience.
Gloating over his numerous successes
in the criminal career, even in murder
the "Yegg" is constantly aspiring to
something productive of a little more
risk. The result is that today -:ery skill
ful bands of depredators on vaults and
safes are scattered all over the United

their first knowledge of high explosives

by the Government to experiment with
