KHYBER Pass THE KEY,
This National DoorwayThrough Him.

alayas Was Used by Alexander.
The Khyber Pass is strategically
one of the most important points in
all Asia, and round it has ragged many
a great battle, for with it under con-
troll an army has at it's feet the great
and fertile plains which have made
the Pearl of the East, the peninsula
Of India, famous in song and story.
The pass itself begins ten miles
west of Peshawur, II Of the most
important of the British military sta
tons in India, and it extends thirty
three miles northwest to the plain of
~Jelalabad. 1t is the only route be-
tween the Punjab and Afghanistan
available for a large army with heavy
guns, though there are other passes
which mi-lt be forced by an enter
prising enemy travelling in light Or
der.
1t is toward the Khyber that the
eyes of those Russian officers who so
much envy the British the possession
of India are always turned, and by it
a. the great invasions of India since
the time of Alexander the Great have
taken place. AleXander's Macedonian
army marched between its cliffs,
which tower above the pass to a
height of 5000 feet.
Coming to more recent times, the
pass was the scene of the appalling
disaster of 1912, when the Afghans
almost anninilated a British army
endeavoring to retreat from Kabul to
India. In the late seventies our long
negotiations with the Amir of At
gnanistan largely centred around the
control of the pass, which ultimately
was coded to Great Britain.
The Khyber again became q place
of tragic Importance in the period
that followed the disaster to General
Burrows at Maiwand, when half the
British force fell, and the garrison at
Kandahar was invested. With insult
icient troops the Khyber had to be
held. kabul kept in occupation and
kandahar relieved.
Roberts was the man to do it.
Handing oyer kabul to stout old Sir
Donald Stewart, Roberts formed his
flying column. Cutting himself Off
from his base, he vanished from the
ken of the civilized world. He and
his devoted men had a trying ordeal
among the mOuntains-an ordeal few
armies would have borne, until, ap-
pcaring suddenly at Kandahar three
weeks later, they relieved the town.
Meanwhile Nabul and the Khyber
were held, and the situation was
saved.

Shack Immune in San Francisco.

One of the remarkable incidents
Of the great fire Of San Francisco
was the immunity from damage OF
an old wooden shack owned by a
paint company at the corner of Main
and Harrison streets. The ram
shackle, half-century-old building
stands unframed, a little island in a
sea of d~esolation. 1t reeks with oil
and is filled with highly intiammable
materials. Near to it a great pile Of
coal caught fire and burned for near
ly a week. The officials of the COM
pany felt so certain that the place
had fallen a victim to the devon2ing
flames that they did not even at
tempt to visit it until two weeks os
SO after the con~flagration, and then
it was mere curiosity to see what the
ruins looked like that led them there.

A Thing of Beauty is a-Drain!

At a dinner Of the Sanitary lnspec-

He needs no second glance to tell him
his pursuers are wolves, nor does he
hesitate to act. Across his shoulder is
suspended by strap a 1920 car

II was but the work OF an In

a large. looking gaunt dog
wolf leading the pack, his limp tongue
protruding from massive ugly jaws, and
his greenish fiery eyes cleaning in the

The trapper has coolly dropped upon
his left knee to steady his gun, and as
the big wolf trails toward him he takes
a careful aim and fires. The wolf
plunges forward and falls, but is fol-
lowed by another close behind him
which takes the wounded leaders place.
Again the little carbine cracks and an
other wolf falls in the snow. Still an
other wolf presses towards the cool
trapper. but when he approaches the
spot where the second wolf fell, he
stops. hesltates and before he can
bound away. the deadly little carbine
again speaks and another wolf is added
TO the trapper's bounty list.
One plucky stand taken by the trap

pack seemed to have scared the remain

fed towards the forest, the little car
bine being kept busy throwing lead
among them as they few over the snow.
There were at least a dozen full-grown
wolves in the pack, three Of which fell
to the deadly aim Of the trapper on the
ice

trapper resumed his way, treading the
trail in unerring skill and long after
the shadows had encircled him in the
gloom and darkness Of the woods, his
familiar football was greeted at the
threshold Of HIS own cabin by the CHEEKY
and welcome voice Of his brother. Franc.

snug corner Of warm skins, the clouds

Plague Spots in the Blood

Half Of the diseases from which man

That headache, those painsi in the joints
and muscles, that tired feeling, are all
caused by pOisOns i'm the blood. The
reason rheumatism, Sciatica and GOut
cannot be cured by rubbing with lini-

mates i'm the blood, and an internal dis

TRAPPER FIGHTS
PACK OF WOLVES
AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Lone Hunter Finally Makes a Stand

Stays Three, Soaring the

Bronson, Mich.-During last winter
the snow fell to a great depth in nearly
all of the northern counties. and in those
counties infested by wolves the havoc
to deer was great.
Many deer carcasses partly devoured'
and some with only the polished and
cleanly picked bones remaining, were
found by settlers and trappers.
The wolves became terribly pressed
by hunger during the winter, the In
tense cold seeming to whet their ap-
petites to a frenzy, and woe to any
thing deyourable which crossed their
trail.
II was in midwinter, when the snow
was deepest and the cold most Intense
that a well-known trapper In one of
the western counties Of the upper
peninsula had a very exciting adyen-
ture and one perhaps which he would
not care TO have repeated.
All day he had tramped over the
snow on his snow shoes. and a big
snowstorm of several days previous had
covered up his traps, and in some In
stances covered TO a depth of several
feet his catch of animals, which had
DELAYED him. and night was fast ap-
preaching and he had yet many weary
miles on the trail before he would reach
the CHEEKY warmth and light OF his
cabin. where his brother Franc was
waiting for him.
Around him lay a world Of white
ness-a world OF snow; only the dark
gray clouds above and the somber dark
ness of the forest background bereft
the scene. lie pushed forward his tired
and stifened limbs already beginning
to sting and pain from the fatigue OF
the long days journey. At length he
comes out Of the shadow Of piece Of
broken woods and descends a gentle
slope-a lake lies before him.
Now he is upon the smooth surface Of
the lake, and as the walking is much bet
ter. he mentally decides he can make
much better time across the fee than on
the land. Suddenly his trained ear de-
tects the sound Of a football, the faint
swapping of a twig behind him on the
shore few yards distant, and as he
involuntarily turns his head to look In
the direction Of the sound, fitting fig
