Another robbery occurred on Main
street last night, the Bacon saloon in
the Matlock- -Brownfield building, be-
ing entered some time between mid
plight and morning and the cash reg
lister robbed of $500.
The robbers made their entrance to
the saloon through window in the
rear, which was left unlocked through
an oversight. When the saloon men
opened the place this morning the
register was missing, AMI for some
time their efforts to locate it were
unsuccessful. Finally it was found in
the toilet, where 1t had been broken
by means Of an ice pick. The regis
ter was considerably damaged by the
operation, for in addition to prying it
open the woodwork was cut with a
knife in order to get into the drawer.
The register was closed, but not
locked, and could have been readily
opened had the robber tried it. Moth
ing else around the saloon has been
missed.
No arrests have yet been made for
the robbery, but three men are under
suspicion and may be apprehended
later.

WHAT VALUE DO YOU PUT IN
 YOUR SIGHT? WHAT WOULD YOU ACCEPT IN EXCHANGE FOR IT?

The foregoing questions are almost absurd, for not one in a thousand would consider even for a moment an offer of enormous wealth, priceless treasure, power, fame or any of the things for which men struggle, and in exchange give over his sight. Then should we not, at least. use ordinary care and caution (which many do not) and be watchful over these wonderful organs, so that we may continue to see and make ourselves useful in the world?

Letter from Santa Claus
 Ito the Little Boys and Girls of Phoenix
Dear Boys and Girls:
of Phoenix


 It has come to my ears that some of the little boys and girls are saying that there is no Santa Claus any more, and that 1 am dead. Now. I don't know who started this story, for l am just as much alive as I ever was. If you don't believe it, boys, just go down to the graveyard and look for my grave. You won't find my name on single grave stone in the whole bunch.
 No, I am alive and think just as much of little boys and girls as l ever did. I have a big warehouse ill Phoenix where there is a whole lot of nice Christmas presents for little boys and girls and then there are presents there for mamma and papa, and for your big sister and her beau.
 Now boys and girls, I can't haul all the toys around in my sled. There isn't room for all of them and besides my big fine team of reindeers couldn't pull all the toys at once.
 keep a large supply of Christmas presents at Davidson's Cash Store in Phoenix, just across the street from the court house. I wish every little boy and girl would go there with their mamma and papa and pick out what they want. Because have too many little friends to know just what each one of you would like.
 Now, boys and girls. have writ ten this letter and put it in the paper. But it is to every one of you just as much as though I had written each of you 9 letter.
 Hoping that you will be just the best boys and girls you know how to be, and wishing you a merry. Christmas and a happy New Year, I remain
 Your friend,
 SANTA CLAUS.
