BEING A "YEGG."
Some of the Benefits Offered by This
Criminal Fraternity,

When a man becomes a "Yegg" he
practically loses the name that be-
longs to him. If there comes into a
'Yegg' camp stranger who proves
by his dialect that he is entitled to
membership "Yegg" etiquette. does
not permit anyone to ask his name.
Where dye hail from?" is the ques-
ton. If he replies that hesisfa Pitts
burger they call him pitts Slim or
Pitts Fat" or some other name sug-
gested by his physical characteristic
les. There is a degree of cleverness,
sometimes, in these names A young
man with patch of gray hairs is
known as THE Aged Kid" A hump
back with a wooden leg acquires the
appellation of The Pegged Hump"
The word "Yegg" has been attri-
buted to gypsy origin. When a thief
showed special aptitude the gypsies
elected him ''Yegg Chief" Grad
ually the ordinary tramp, or "ho-
DO, if he grew to be a skilIful thief
came into the title of Johnny Yegg,"
and finally the name was acquired
exclusively by the wandering nitro
glycerin expert of today. This out
cast appears to embody what is worst
in the gypsy and the 'fhobo" with the
craft of one and the barbarity of the
other added to a reckless daring of
his own.
One of the most interesting phases
of the fraternity of the "Yeggs" is
found in those rare exceptions, the
"Yegg' with a family and the 'Yegg".
with a longing for home. While
most of them have no ties, it hap
pens now and then that one boasts
a wife and children. In that event

."Yegg with the longing for home
occasionally gratifies his ambition by
Saving a competence, with which he
returns to his native place. He then
settles down in some business, and
"Yeggs" know him no more. If
there is an inquiry about one the
reply is, He's gone home" All
"Yeggs" know what that means.

TAKES IN $4,000, 900 A YEAR
StupendOus Income of One of New
York City's Great Hotels. Some
Other Hash Houses.

/ When the Waldorf was projected
| it was upon the very modest estimate
that each patron would spend $500
a day; the actual expenditure is said
| to have been $500. This was in
1893. And since then many Wal
doris have gone up. With them, too,
have gone up the cost of food, of
labor, of construction and of real es-
tate; there are New York hotels on
plots worth from $3.50 to $500 the
square foot. And with all this there
has mounted our general standard of
living; for We must always remem-
Der that few people go even to the
most expensive hotels against their
will. In three new and famous
houses visited by the writer the price
of two and three-room suites worked
out to something like $8.25 per room
individually. Multiply 1925 by three
and half and one has a sum very
much in excess of $1,000. Suppos-
ing, however, that we leave it at
that figure. A hotel with accommo-
dations for 1000 guests, running at
three-fifths capacity-to allow for
the slack season-gives us an in
~S4A4O ~ VA5 q WV III me year.
this not less than another half mil
lion must be added as the income
from the banquet and entertainment
department. One Florida hotel has
accommodations for 1000. On the
American plan this hotel makes a
rate for room and board of $500
and up. And during it's season it
runs almost to full capacity. This
means, for five months only, a mini
mum of $1,500,000. It's real income
is undoubtedly nearer the $4,000
600 mark. Putting it at a third of
the investment works out with suffi-
Gent accuracy for the New Hamp-
shire resort hotels where $22,285,-
l79 gives us, officially, $7,549,375.
This same ratio, for the Plaza in New
York would produce nearly $4,000
600; and for the Waldorf-Astoria
about 00,000.-Arthur E. Nc

INDIAN BLOOD WOULD HELP.
The Intermarriage of Pale Faces and
Redskins Is Recommended.

The Intermarriage of Pale Faces and
Redskins Is Recommended.
After reading the statement of
Prof. William Matthews of Chicago
that a little American Indian blood
mingled with that of our race would
produce a strain that would be hard
to equal Prof. Rockwell D. Hunt
of the department of sociology in
the University of Southern Califor-
mia and student of Indian life SAYS
that he agrees thoroughly with the
Chicago professor.
While there are wide variations
in the different tribes" said Profess
or Hunt, "by choosing the better
Indians 1 believe that the inter-mar-
riage of Indians and members of our
race would result in good. Some of
the best families in Kentucky have
strain o. Indian blood in their
veins, and in Oklahoma and South
Dakota l know of marked examples
of inter-marriages.

100000 FROM FISHERIES
The Public Will Be Surprised to
Know the Value of GeOrgia's
Fish Industry.

Probably the extent and value of
the fishing industry of Georgia is
not fully understood and appreciated
by majority of those even who live
on the seacoast. They, know that
there is "considera BILE business in
oysters, shrimp, crabs and fish, but
have no idea of the extent. of the
business. These figures for Georgia
for 1908 from the census bureau are
interesting and instructive: Hard
crabs, 1876, 900 pounds, worth ST.
$40; shrimp, $4,000 pounds, &c.
700; terrapin and turtles 42,50O
pounds, 1000; clans, $500 bush
els, SO, 400; oysters for market, l.
423,100 bushels, $4,000; oysters
for seeding, $4,000 bushels, $4,000.
The total of these items is nearly
S383,000. In addition to the forego-
ing there must be considered the
fisheries proper, which take such
standard articles of food as shad.
mullet, bass, founders, whiting,
trout, etc, and put them on the mar
ket. 1t would be safe to estimate
that the, fish product is worth even
more than the crustaceans and she'll

of Georgia's fisheries for a year will

! 1t seemed that some years before
a band of Dutch Mormons, coming
down from Utah, had raided the pony
herds of the Piutes and stolen many
of the animals. The raiders spoke
broken English, and from this the
Piutes had gained the idea that all
white men who spoke English
brokenly were "Dutchmen." AS they
still had it in for the raiding Dutch
men they wanted all whites whose
English was not Straight deprived
of the protection of the treaty. They
stood firm as to this, and it had to
be agreed to, but 'Dutchmen" who
knew gave the valley a wide berth
for long time.
Parker City Suits Him.
McGinty's visit to the metropolis
is due to a taste of city life which
he obtained after the Santa Fe "cut-
off" in Arizona was opened a short
time ago. On this line the city of
Parker sprung up. 1t now has 500
inhabitants. Jim took a trip down
there from the valley, and liked it

address He was told that as a city
New York was even larger than
Parker, so he determined to come
on and see for himself.

seen New York and I'm glad I've
come. l don't think I'll have any

You may not. swallow it, but it
is fact, there's more loneliness here
than out there where the sands Law
white and burning and the only life
you see is a winged thing circling
slowly and watchfully above against
the blue. When you come out of
the southwest across the vast stretch

and grow sad to find that so great a
number of people can bring them

a space and call it living. Parker

WHY THEY DO IT.
Increased Cost of Living Results in
Family DesertiOn.

Family DesertiOn.
Because we understand whay a
man or woman jumps from burn
ing ship We do not call him or her
a coward, but because we do not so
well understand why some men jump
from the good ship Matrimony the
wife deserter is a despised person.
We do not see the fire on his ship.
The blaze blisters his skin+-not ours.
Still 5000 jumped last year in Man
haitian alone, as against only 1000
the year before, and escapes were
propOrtiOnately as numerous in
Brooklyn.
Mrs. Ida Upshaw, head of the di-
vision of domestic relations of the
bureau of charities, New York CITY.
is of the opinion that the increased
cost of living is the cause of the
great increase in the number of
wives who were deserted in New
York last year. In her opinion the
margin between income and neces-
sary expenditures has not only dis
appeared in great number of fami-
lies but income has failed to meet
imperative needs. It's as if the poor
were between the blades of a shears,
the employers constituting one blade
and the landlords and tradesmen the
other. AS the blades close some get
away. Some don't. The nerves of
some can't stand the strain. Quar-
reling begins. Then comes discour-
agement, and finally despair. The
husbands, tired of it all, flee, and the
families are cut in two.
