Afghan Horse Thief Gave Owner
"Real" Exhibition of How Ani-
mal Was Stolen.
An Indian officer relates some good
stories of Peshawur, which in the
early "seventies," before British poli-
tical Influence had asserted Itself be-
yond the lonely little forts of "Jam-
rud" and "Shabkadar," was a tome-
what disturbed locality, in spite of
the strength of its garrison.
It was at Peshawur (he says) that
the medical officer of my regiment
was Informed one night that a valu-
able and favorite Arab of his had
been stolen! Over the border, gone
for ever—he never expected to see
Ills horse again, but next day, much to
his surprise, there came to him a
bearded ruffian, 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 be^a
tethered in line with others, with
men, women, and children sleeping
in the open about them .
"How did you manage it?" asked
the doctor
"If the sahib will give the necessary
order," he said, "I will show him."
The entire scene was reproduced,
even to the night watchman asleep in
a corner. Noiselessly the Afghan
crawled towards the Arab, threading
snakelike through the prostrate forms
to where it was standing at the end
of the row. Softly hissing to attract i
the animal's attention, without caus- !
ing htm alarm, he gently raised him-
self with arm extended.
In his open palm were some lumps
of goor (native sugar), beloved of ;
horses, and while the Arab was enjoy- j
ing these the man was caressing him
with the other hand, whence suspend-
ed a watering bridle taken from his
wallet. Quickly this was adjusted, md !
then, stroking soothingly, the robber
passed his hand over the animal's
back and down th e hindquarters.
Swiftly the heel ropes were unhitch- {
ed, then the headgear released, and
with a bound he was astride and away
his right hand backward flung shout-
ing triumphantly as he passed: "Thus
was it done!"
The joke was that he never came
back! A double restitution would
have been too much of a wrench
A car containing 600 bushels of pure
alfalfa seed was shipped Thursday
from Cherokee to Chicago. The seed
was worth $7.f>0 per bushel making a j
total of about $4,500.

Alfonso EnJoy3 Joke on Himse'f
Alfonso of Spain has a tremendous
appetite; like any boy, he is always
hungry, lie is far from handsome,
but like any boy, again, he does not
give a rap about his looks. A few
months ago, while motoring near La
Granfa, the king's appetite plagued
him and he halted at a wayside inn,
where he ate with much relish while
cracking jokes with the landlord and
a few peasants who happened to be
there, being unknown to them, of
course.
A little girl entered to buy wine for
her father.
"Tell me," said Don Alfonso to the
child, "have you seen the king since
he has been at La Granfa?"
"Only once," answered the girl.
"He had on a beautiful uniform, but
he is very ugly."
The king laughed and told the story
on himself.

Uncrackable Glass.
Glass that can be heated white hot
and then plunged into cold water
without breaking, while an aparent im-
possibility, has yet been made an ac-
complished fact.
This glass is derived from Brazil-
ian quartz pebbles heated red hot and
then thrown into distilled water. The
purest pieces are selected and welded
with the oxyhydrogen blowpipe into
long stems like straws, from which
glass vessels of any shape can be man-
ufactured. Thus far this quartz glass
has been employed chiefly for making
laboratory apparatus. A test tube
made In this way will not break when
a white-hot coal Is dropped into it
awful burning itch cured
in a day
"In the middle of the night of March
30th I woke up with a burning itch in
my two hands and I felt as If I could
pull them apart. In the morniDg the
itching had gone to my chest and dur-
ing that day it spread all over my
body. I was red and raw from the top
of my head to the soles of my feet and
I was in continual agony from the
Itching. I could neither lie down nor
sit up. I happened to see about Cuti-
cura Remedies, and I thought I would
give them a trial. I took a good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April I
felt like a new man. The Itching was
almost gone. 1 continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and during that day the itching com-
pletely left me. Frank Gridley, 325

Pat was a married man—a very
much married man. He had married
no fewer than four times, and all his
wlver. were still In the fore. Accord-
ing to Tat's own account before the
j court where he was tried for bigamy
and found guilty, his experiences were
not altogether satisfactory. The
jdoge, in passing sentence, expressed
his wonder that the prisoner could
be such a hardened villain as to de-
lude so many women.
"Yer honor," said Pat, apologetical-
ly, "I was only trjln* to get a good
one, an' It's not aisy!"—Lippincott's

"Dar's nuthin' lak faith," said Broth-
er Williams. "I once prayed a fat
turkey off a high roost, but the sher-

home ter cook him, an' I wuz took ter
Jail."
"Why didn't you pray your way out
of jail?" someone asked.
"I would 'adone it," was the reply,
"but I didn't want Providence ter know
I was in no sich place."
