business were testing their prevaricat-
ing qualities and the stories of swift
running trains reached the point of 1872
miles an hour. while others would
have listeners believe that hundreds
of mud hens had been killed at one
bang with No. 4 shot.

old Russian peasant with his odd cap
and big boots, the Portuguese with
their geese like prattle, the boy in blue

train takes prospectors to the mining
country in the Sierra Madres and in
coming trains brings citizens of the
colonies to Ell Paso to do their Christ

plenty of money and Santa Claus, well
supplied from Ell Paso merchants, will
visit every home in the colonies next
Monday night.
