BOLD HORSE THIEVES
THOSE OF AFeHANIsTAN ARE
 MOST DARING IN WORLD.
How They Saw the Mud Walls of the Stable to Reach Their Booty Stealing Soldiers Mount
 From Under His Nose.

The Khyber pass is the chief gate way into Afghanistan. Sixteen miles south of 1t Is the city of Peshawur. The adjoining valley and hills have always been the haunts of professions al thieves. The objects which they most covet are arms, money and horses. In securing these they evlnce great skill and daring.
 Their most popular mode of horse stealing requires at least three men to carry it out comfortably and success fully. One of them quietly steals his way into the stable and lays hold of a cord which has been pushed through one of the holes in the wall by an ac- complice outside.
 The two use this string as a saw, while the third man pours upon it a plentiful supply of water. The cord silently and speedily cuts it's way down the mud wall.
 In a wonderfully short time the three craftsmen manage to saw round portion of the wall, which, when pushed outward, leaves a space sufi- cient to allow a horse to pass out.
 This done, the remaining work pre- sents no difficulty. The ropes which bind the horse are cut, and in short time he is cantering to the hills with generally two or three of his new mas ters on his back.
 A somewhat bold and impudent ex- ploit in the horse stealing line was once the amusement and the talk of the English military station for some days. The cantonment was surround ed at sundown by chain of sentries. This demanded a great number of men, and all regiments, cavalry and infantry, European and natives, night ly gave their proportions.
 A native trooper on this occasion fastened his horse to the peg fixed about the middle of his beat" and to keep his courage and himself warm the night was dark and bitterly cold walked smartly backward and for ward.
 The extent of this walk was not more than thirty yards, and thus at no time could he have been more than fifteen yards from his charger. He was armed with a short rife and a tulwar or sword.
 While he was thus doing duty a hillman managed to crawl quite close to him without exciting notice, and, waiting quietly until the sentry was near the end of his walk, and, of course, with his back to the horse, the robber cut the chargers rope, mount ed him and in a moment was off.
 The sentry fired his rifle in the di- rection in which his mount had gone, the guards turned out and a great noise was raised, but the outwitted soldier never saw his horse again. Harper's Weekly.

NOT A MINUTE AFTER NOON
Victor Herbert's Sixth Floor Appoint ment Was Too Much for He
 Fat Friend.

Victor Herbert, the musician, owns six-story house up in the Seventies, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times Star. It is built tall and narrow, like well. MT. Her bert's music room and study occupies the entire sixth floor, and there is no elevator. The other day one of MT. Herbert's acquaintances wished to see him on a matter of business.
 "Ill be here until sharp noon," said MT. Herbert "Then must go to fill an engagement. I can't wait a minute after the hour"
 MT. Herbert's friend is built a good deal like an orange. He makes a good deal of fuss about plain walking. Stair climbing is a thing he never does except under compulsion. When he reached Herbert's home 1t was just 20 minutes of 12. The servant telephoned up to the music room.
 "Tell him to come right up," said Mr. Herbert.
 MT. Herbert's fat friend began climbing. He paused at the top of the first flight to breathe a little while. His pauses grew longer and more inn passioned at the end of each succeed ing flight. When he got to the sixth floor he was just able to dab damp hand at Herbert and sit down in a stuffed chair. and begin to remove the evidences of internal heat from his streaming forehead. MT. Herbert pulled out his watch.
 Its five minutes to 12," he said, warningly.
 His fat friend waved his hand at him mutely, and went right on doing some of the best panting of the cur rent season. His well-padded sides rose and fell like hot-air balloon just before the ropes are cast off
 1.-Two minutes" said Mir Herbert
 "Uh, uh-ugh," said his fat friend, feeling the veins in his neck thicken-
 Twelve o'clock" said MT. Herbert, the cover of his watch. "Sor- ", I must go. Good-by."
 Fifteen minutes later the wrath of 3 fat man eTept down six flights of stairs, standing on each landing and holding to the banister, until his knees stopped trembling.
 "Tell-uh, uh-Victor, I'll meet him at the Lambs club" said he to Mrs. Herbert Street floor"

skIn of AIaskan nons-

Some of the Alaskan dogs are bet ter trail followers than others, and some better leaders, says a writer in the Detroit News. In a blizzard the best of these lose the trail, but in. variably find 1t again.
 When on the trail they eat but once a day, then at the end of the jour ney. After feeding, like weary chiE dren, they fall asleep and are never quarrelsome. It takes, on an aver age, 20 pounds of meat a day for a team of Il dogs on a hard route.
 The dogs of the mail teams con sumed last year three tons of bacon and one of rice. The rice and bacon are cooked together with frozen fish and eaten hot. The dogs are permit ted to eat all they want.
 When too hot they let 1t cool in the snow. If near the sea or river they will cunningly pull the vessel out on the ice and test the temperature of the contents with their long tongues until the mess can be eaten without burning the mouth. Frozen fish is the staple food of all native dogs

Equity.

Owing to the increased cost oi everything, the doughnut had becoms too valuable to eat. Accordingly it was being financed.
 Naturally an enterprise of such mag nitude was fraught with more or less uncertainty. How, for instance" the underwriters asked, about the hole is it to be financed, too?" So the courts were appealed to.
 ''The hole," these decided, after three or four years, 'is the equity, and as such 1t may not be financed"
 U. s. Doughnut fell of point or two, but speedily recovered, because something had to be the equity any way-Puck-
