STEALING A HORSE.
A Bold Afghan Robbsr Who Had a
Sense of Humor.

q Bold Afghan Hobber Who Had q
Sense of Humor.
An East Indiat officer, writing of
life in Peshawur In the early seven
ties of the last century, relates the
following:
The medical officer of my regiment
was informed one night that q valua-
BILE and favorite Arab steed Of his had
been stolen. Over the border. gone
forever, he never expected to see his
horse again, but next day, much to his
surprise, there came to him a bearded
rufian riding bare backed the stolen
steed.
He confessed that he had taken the
animal, but, learning that it was the
property Of a hakim (physician), had
brought it back. The horse had been
tethered in line with others, with
men, women and children sleeping in
the open about them.
How did you manage itT' asked
the doctor.
"If the sahib will give the necessary
order" he said, Il will show him."
The entire scene was reproduced,
even to the night Waterman asleep in
a corner. Noiselessly the Afghan
crawled toward the Arab, treading
snakehke through the PROSTATE forms
to where it was standing at the end Of
the row. Softly kissing to attract the
animals attention without causing
alarm, he gently raised himself with
arm extended.
In his open palm were some Jumps
Of goor (native sugar, beloved Of
horses, and while the Arab was enjoy
ing these the man was ~earessing him
with the other hand, whence suspend

wallet. Quickly this was adjusted,
and then, strokIng soothingly, the rob
Der passed his hand over the animals
back and down the hind quarters.
Swiftly the heel ropes were unhitched,
then the head gear released, and with
a bound lie was astride and away. his
right hand backward flung, shouting
triumphantly as he passed, Thus was

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 1S.-The east and
west coasts of Florida are being har-
ried by n of the worst hurricanes In
history. After having apparently pass
ed to northward the hurricane recurv-
ed and struck Key West furiously.
Key West reported wind blowing
eighty miles an hour and much DAM
age being done. All communication
with Key West was then lost, and the
damage done the Island City is only
problematical.
Tampa reports wind of hurricane We
locity and great damage done to small
crafts. A company Of the Florida
Coast artillery is marooned on Egmont
key with Its tents swept away, and 1t
Is feared some of the men have per-

are ominous.
The extension work on the Florida
East Coast railway has been greatly
damaged, and the line is blocked owing
to washouts. Three miles of track
have been carried away neal Miami,
and a grade train is reported swept
away north Of Key West.
How many laborers persisted when
the train was carried away is not
known. At st. Augustine the wind is
driving the waves over the sea wall,
and d portion OF the city Is flooded. 1t
is feared that the details will show
great loss Of life on both east and west
coasts.

Austrian Bulls.

Here are a few bulls that have
been perpetrated from time to tiE4e in
the Austro-Hungarian parliament:
Zone most important point of the
agricultural question is the main
tenance of the breed of horses to
which l have the honor to belong" & :
1--WE are here for the veal and woe
of our constituents"
Gentlemen, consider this question
in the light Of a dark future"
1.-THE eye OF the law weighs heavily
on our press legislation"
"There, gentlemen, is the eyer chang
ing point of which the opposition has
made a hobbyhorse."
This taunt is the same old Sea SER
pent which for years and years has
been groan,ng in this assembly"

exactly the same thing occurs when the
Democrats are in power.
This is the exact truth. The remedy
is to take away the valuable privileges
which furnish the money and the mo-
tive for c%orrupting politics. Before
the remedy can be applied, we must de-
stroy the power of these bosses, and the
way to do hat is to abolish conven-
tions, take away their rswer to control
election officers, adopt the blanket bal
lot and distribute it at public expense
and limit by law election expenses. Why
not use your great powers of Oratory
and of reasoning, and the splendid OPP
portunities of your great meetings in
driving home to the people this plain
lesson9
In order that your position ON this
vital question may be made clear, l
ask you the following questions:
ID. De you admit that the boss sys-
tenn exists as I have described itf If
SO, how do you propose to abolish itf

to the special interests of such leaders
differ from the relations to the same in

has been ~reorganized and the Republi-
can party has not. Can a political par

either its leaders, or its old leaders

that either of these events has taken
place in the Democratic partys if yes,

II. Is there any organized move

Permit ME, in closing to express the
hope that you may attain in the domain

the same character for distinguished

committeeman present, o. M. Liddle,

candidates for school commissioners,
and Nels Hanson. candidate for al
derman In the fifth ward, also await
ed the arrival of Mr.. Lewis.
In the Carteret section Of Roose-
welt, the first stop made by the
party, Mr.. Lewis was given a rousing
reception. Between four and five
hundred people, including many
women and children, waited to well
come him, and as his car approached
the curb near the p~ostofice a con
certed rush was made for the auto
mobile to shake the hand of the man
they hailed as the next governor.
From this city to Roosevelt the
streets were decorated, and sidewalk
crowds cheered as the automobiles
went by. Ideal weather conditions
added to the enthusiasm, for it
brought out not only men, but wom-
en- and children in such numbers that
the candidate remarked about 1t.
From the steps of the Carteret
postofice Mr.. Lewis addressed the
gathering, composed chiefly of rail-
road men. He expressed his happi.
ness at meeting them all, and said
he believed a candidate for governor
should place himself before the peo-
pie to let them know how he stood
on the important issues of the day.
He offered to answer any questions
that might be put to him, although
none were forthcoming.
Mr.. Lewis was applauded when
he announced himself as favoring a
stringent employers liability bill,
take carr of their employees. Twelve
per cent. of New Jerseys population
is made up of t~oilers, he continued,
and their efforts place the state
sixth Of any In the union In yearly
output. A friend to the railroad
men, Mr.. Lewis declared himself. He
knew railroad conditions, he
averred.
At 1890 o'clock the party arrived
In the Chrome section of Roosevelt.
Here an audience of the same size
greeted the candidate. He spoke
again along the same lines.
Following his speech at Port
Reading, the next stop, bis depart
ure was greeted with the shrill
notes Of six P. & r. locomotive
whistles, which blew steadily for
about five minutes. Port Reading
was reached at 1926 o'clock.
At Woodbridge, the automobiles
halted at School and Main streets,
and there Mr.. Lewis addressed an
assemblage of about 700 or 500 peo-
pie. In each place he descended
from his a and shook hands with
those near him. He seems to be
well liked.
James M. Parsons, of Midtown, a
prominent Middlesex democrat, was
a member of the touring party. He
is "a close friend of Mr.. Lewis and
joined him early this morning with
his automobile.
Following the luncheon at Metu-
chen, the party will visit New Mar
ket. Dunellen will be the next stop,
followed by South Plainfield and a
return to Metuchen, where he will
speak. Mr.. Lewis and his party will
again arrive at the Packer House,
this city, shortly after 6 o'clock,
where supper will be served.

A MANS WHISPERS.
They Should Not Be Renovated With
the Shoebrush.

the Shoebrush.
II men would devote as much loving
care to their whiskers as women do to
their hair they would contribute great
Iy to increasing the dignity OF the sex.
A woman wouldn't think of coming
downtown without having her hair
properly arranged. She combs 1t, and
fuses with 1t, and pads 1t out with
rats, and puts wire cages under 1t, and
runs ribbons through 1t, and she is a
vision OF loneliness when she appears
in the busy haunts of men.
But a man gives his whtskers no at
tention further than to brush the egg
shells or clam chowder out Of them
with the shoebrush. 1t w seems to
occur to him that his whiskers might
be made beautiful ii he would devote
one-half the time to them that a wom-
an gives to her hair. He might easily
have made a wire cage to attach to
his chin, and then he could "a his
whiskers around It in captivating
styles and tie the ends together with
a pink or blue ribbon.
The alfalfa editor gets tired OF see
ing the same old fashions in whiskers
when 1t would be so easy to devise
new and striking ways of wearing
them.
There should be a whiskers club In
&mporta. If such an organization
were formed and the members held
weekly meetings to exchange ideas
and compare notes the results would
soon be apparent. The towns whis-
kers would soon become distinctive,
and their reputation would cover the
country.
