 The other day the Burro strayed
 up the Orpheum steps, and found
 Manager King fitted into his office i like the meat part of a ham sand
 wich. The space is so narrow that
 when King breathes deep the walls
 bulge out, but he likes the quarters, and so does the Burro. For the linn
 ited space has, the effect of squeezing
 some mighty good ideas out of the
 manager. They just drip from King | like ottar of roses from the otter,
 and it goes without saying that he has never overlooked any bets in the
 theatrical line.
 When the Rurro walked in on him
 the other day. he was holding d bunch of contracts for next season in
 his hand. and they looked hefty
 enough to be a supreme court brief. Thereby hangs an interesting tale. A year ago these contracts would not
 have been in evidence in Bisbee, or in any other Arizona town. But the
 theatrical trust has seen a great light during the past season, and Mir. King took prominent part in turn ing up the wick In this connection
 he tells an interesting story.
 That part of the United States be-
 tween Fl Paso, Texas, and Los An
 geles, has for the past ten years been
 nightmare to the producer of good
 amusement travelling to the coast. California was a place to get to to
 make money for a theatrical company but you lost it getting from Fort Worth, Texas, on the east, into the boundaries of the Golden State. rae result was that the best show Ari-
 zona got was of the, second grade at fractions that had been worn thread 1 bare among the people of the East,
 The past season cfearfy demon strated to the big trust in the East that Arizona was place to come to,
 and during the late panic, when they
 were at their wits end to know where to send a. show end keep it alive,
 they found that the representations of the local Arizona managers that Arizona was place not hurt by pan ics was true, and at great expense sent the best attractions they had in the West here. This season just end
 ing has been more profitable to them. Bisbee gave the shows houses that I exceeded those of any city in the United States of 50,000 inhabitants or
 more, and in routing their shows for next season the New York agents of all the big shows have for the past month been sending in contracts for Bisbee for next season"
 Dr. w. P. Sims, the dentist, was mistaken for a coon the other day, and as the doctor does not look any more like a coon than a burro, the circumstances are worth relating
 He had given big miner an anaes- thetic before pulling bad tooth, and After the molar was out, and before the victim had recovered conscious ness, he tried to get out of the chair, exclaiming; Here, you - coan
 don't take tha. s20 gold piece. or I'll break your face" Then he succeeued in getting out on the floor, where a lot of little sandpaper disks used in polishing teeth had been thrown. He started to pick them up and put them in his pocket, recovering his senses just as he was stCwins ne of them away. He explained, with much redness in the face. that he thought the disks were gold pieces and that the doctor was bad coon bent on robbery,
 Dr. Johnson of the c. & A. staff likes a joke-when it is on some body else. But he has been known to enjoy one on himself occasionally. Since the advent of the street cars, his fiery steed, Bucephalus, to the his fiery stead, Bucephaluc, to tke
 strange sight, and the mien of the doctor in the saddle during these crit ical moments has commanded great
 admiratio from the Mexican children
 along Naco road The other day the
 car was coming up at a good clip, and Bucephalus and his rider were going down toward the hospital. An other lesson in the tanning of wild horses was looked for by the be- holders, but there was nothing do- | ing. Bucephalus slowed up just as
 the car caane alongside and showed signs of that tired feeling. Finally he stood still and the doctor got otf i to solve the mystery. Bless me fl
 somebody has not given the horse chIcroform," exclaimed he,N as the odor struck him. Up in the c. x 4. | dispensary somebody laughed inward | ly as the doctor related his experi-
 ence on his return, but Johnson will
 never find out who did it, he looks through the encyclopedia year.
