TUESDAY. DEcEnsER as, lses-
~YEeGmEN,- wHEREFoRns

Will someone please tell us where the term ~Yeggmen. originatedg We know 1t Is applied to men who blow S9ss o ssres fobbepS sns sss snt been able to see the connection between the word and the crime it purports to assignats We are asking strictly TOT Of The Montgomery Advertiser might delve down Into his Indian lore and solve the question for us We wouio
 We will just take shot at that pne
 The Watchman is correct in saying that the term Is applied to men who biow open safes with dynamite for robbery. The word is derived from the name of Johnny Yegg. a suecess- fui and contemplating safe robber who ultimately ended his days in Auburn fN. ID prison. Johnny Yegg was the first man to apply nitro-glycerine to the industry Of breaking open of safes, Learning of its effectiveness in this sort of work, Johnny Yegg used this comparatively new explosive in Ais work as bank robber. In thieves 5argon. nitro giycerine is known as -soup." His followers today in the dangerous and not always successful occupation of safe-blowing. give John ny Yegg all honor for the discovery of new method of robbery by the use of soup"
 Yegg was an audacious scoundrel with certain qualities of leadership. He organized the famous Lake shore Gang which preyed upon society along the Great Lakes. This gang was ultimately rounded up after blow fng the safe in the postoffice of New York town and murdering the night watchman. "Sheeny" Harris and sCanada Belackie." names well known in the annals of the crooks. were hanged. while Johnny Yegg and other members of the gang got life sen- tences in Auburn prison. There John ny Yegg died. but his fame lives in the name applied to the profession which he followed.
 What's the next question?

SENATOR LA TOILETTE.
Singled Out as scapeG0at for the Pro-
 Eresaives.

Des Moines Register and Leader
 The Washington correspondent of The New York Tribune de-iies that the administration has shut itself to the insurgent Senators, with the single ex- ception of Ia Toilette:
 There is an apparent effort in some quarters to create the impression that the insurgent Republicans are no long CT welcome at the Waite House, and that their recommendations with re- gard to patronage are being received with scant courtesy. This impression is wholly erroneous. and grows out of the attitude of the White House toward Senator La Toilette and those members of the Wisconsin delegation in the House who do the bidding of the junior Senator. Senator Deliver. Senator Cummins, and indeed all others who voted against the tarif bill. find no difference in their reception at the White House, and the same Is true of the little group of Wisconsin members referred to. So, too in the case If patronage. the recommendations of all insurgents, with the exception of Mir. La Toilette and his henchmen, receive as much considerati on from this admin istration as did the recommendation Of the same men in the past"
 This is confirraed as to La Toilette by the correspondent of The Boston Transcript, also a Republican author ttys
 Tt may be said that the Republican leaders (Al1rieh, Hale. etc.) of the

And a short man can have a good figure if he happens to own a flat back and with a smart upright tness. Outline counts for much, and has done, ffcm the days of the Roman 'djators downward.

EXCESSIVE EATING.
Cause of High Price of Food Credited
 to Our Appetite.

to Our Appetite.
 New York Sun.
 We knew 1t would come; somebody was sure to discover the fact and hammer our heads with 1t. Professor Milton Whitney. chief of the bureau of soils, declares that the increased cost of living is due simply to the fact that Americans are eating far more than they did fifty years ago. Hia reasoning is, we gather, that though our production of food Is very great, yet our national appetite has grown faster still; because it tastes good in the back of our mouths. We sit at ta. ble. and eat and eat. and gorge and gorge and gorge.
 Thus, the supply is drained, and ur goes the price. The ultimate consum- CT should think more, work harder and eat less. Only so shall he remain fit to survive, and hence. to consume But what about the man who sells food products to the consuming appe- tite? He gets enough profit so that he does not have to rise hungry from the table: he is even able to accumu- late enough invested capital to en- able him to have gingerbread twice g week all the rest of his hfes if he choose. It is the non selling. hard eating, handworker or brain-worker not employed in directly commercial pursuits who inevitably pays the freight. He eats too much: we have suspected 1t all along. now Professor Whitney has told us flatly.
 We'll. it Is worth something, to have dislodged the truth from it's hiding got 1t into the open where 1t can be met. And that old ,wheelhorse. the ul- innate consumer, will have to pay, no doubt. Good enough for him. of course. lao 0f uUOFfhX affFthMtaH was pointed out some time ago by that eminent and ingenious economist. MT. whidden Graham. He said: The ui- innate consumer Why shouldn't ne pay? What consideration does he de- serve? Nobody ever made his living bv being an ultimate consumer?

IT HAS ITS ADVANTAGES.

Those of us who live down here in "the Sunny South, h,"-even though it isn't always as sunny and pleasant as we may like-are accustomed to re- gard New England as a place where people merely exist through much of the year. and remain there because they can't get away. The New Bed ford Standard. however, insists that New England is a much favored DOT tion of the earth and in the following editorial 1t gives some of its req sons:
 The cotton mills of New England might go SOuth-they won't but stiil they might, and the shoe factories might move West. which they will not but still they might, and yet New haps its best of all resources. Mans Ingenuity has accomplished much, but II can't give cool braeing breezes to the South nor clear the fog and mist energy and enterprise of the new West can't rob us of our climate, which is coming to be recognized as an asset of tremendous value. Gen eral Charles H Taylor recently told the people of Chicago what New Eng land was doing in the summer resort business, making a comparison with a Western industry that must have left the proud W'esterners a trifle crest fallen. While the entire output of the silver mines of the United States year. New Englands annual Income from cottages and summer boarders Is between fifty and sixty millions.

Never before has SO much use been
made of cotton dress fabrics both in the
silk mixtures and the all cotton weaves:
looking and for knockabout wear and
childrens use are indispensable.
The American print wash fabrics come
in q great variety of checks. piaids and
foulard patterns, and in such beautiful
fast colors that they vie with imported
materials at much higher prices The

school wear as much as for immediate
