A Case Of Lapstd Pe-sc1r 'ty

A friend of mine was in Cana
da with a fishing party and one
member of the party was impu
dent enough to sample some
whiskey that was called SOUR
rel" whiskey because it made
those who drank it inclined to
climb a tree. This gentleman
imbibed too much Of this danger
GUS liquid, and the consequence
was that when he went to the
train to go with the rest of the
company he took a train bound
south instead of train bound
north. Wishing to recover him.
his companions telegraphed the
conductor of the southbound
train: Send short man, named
johnson, back for the north
bound train. He is intoxicated"
Presently they got reply from
the conductor; Further par
ticulars needed. There are thir-
teen men on the train who dom
know either their name or their
destination"

The word "yegg" or "yeggman"
originated, it is said, with the gyp-
sizes. Whein a particularly clever
thief is found among 2 tribe he is
selected as the "yegg" or chief thief.
Hut this expression has since been
adopted by the better class of thieves
among the tramps, or "hoboes," or
any other wayfarer, in an effort to
make sure that he belonged to the

In tracing the origin OF the yege-

Attempts have been made to find

Young men and boys employed in
downtown offices have been seen Wis

seen to go into the back room and
quickly emerge. Chances are they,
when paying for the drink they Or

paid for the stamps they were to re-
ceive, although the actual transfer of
the stamps rarely takes place there.
Once boys have learned their way to
this fence and when sent out by their
employers to buy large quantity of
stamps, instead OF going to the post
office they scurry to one of the mar 7
fences now in existence, and, at slight
discount, purchase the stamps. They
pocket the discount.
