but before doing this he left his grip
in the next car. The game went on
merrily until they whistled into the
Burnham station. when Crafty told
them to look out for his cards minute
while he got his grip before someone
else grabbed it. In running into
Burnham junction the train runs up
the Belfast branch past the station, to
the main line. then back to the station.
Crafty went to the next car and got
his grip. ard as the train runs slowly
through the station, he jumped off and
made his way to the small buyers
store where he notified the proprietor
not to buy thing until he returned in
a short time, as he had some special
inducements to offer. Then he made
his way to the large buyers store,
where he proceeded to sell quantity
of goods. Meanwhile the three others
missed him. and suspeeting what was
up hurried to the small buyers store.

give them to him. AS the three en-
tered Crafty looked up .laZily and,
jovially shouted. Hello; boys. Terrible

are laid partly in France and partly
in New Orleans. 1t Is really an inter-

the daughter of a marquis. She is

villain of the piece. stands in high
favor with Napoleon. In the succeed

to Louisiana. and there the audience

not likely that there will be a long term,
as the funds on hand are not large, and
there are over 100 cases for the grand

$500 to $4,000 for a month, and the

UR. MARTIN TALKS.
The Geniai Physician of Taos Reports q
That Prosperity Prevails Among
People of His Constituency.

DR.. T.P. Martin, the favorite physician
of Taos county, dropped in yesterday
to fraternize with his friends of the New
MEXICAN few moments before going
home.
The doctor is clearly an optimist, but
fortunately his faith is we'll founded. He
declares without equivocation that Taos
county is now more prosperous than ever
before in it's history. He is satisfied that,
in spite of all the large shipments of the
tieecy fellows, there are still $4,000 sheep
on the ranges IN Taos county, and nearly
all of these arc of improved wool varieties,
each one of which will easily shear four
pounds OF the stuff that keeps people
warm in mid winter.
The doctor adds that there are still
many fat cattle on the ranges of his coun-
ty and that the owners behold them with
a good deal of quiet satisfaction, know
ing that they are cashable at the rate of
from $40 to $50 per head.
81 have lived in Taos county for eight
years." continued the doctor, ''and 1
have never seen such a prolific yield of
fruits and cereals as this year in our
couLty. Notably Juan Santistevan and
Alex. Gusdorf have immense crops of
choice wlIter apples. Our merchants all
seem to be doing we'll and our people all
approach winter with barns bursting
with plenty, cellars filled with fruits and
vegetables and enough coin of the coun-
try on hand to protect them against
emergencies"
