HOUSE IS ISFNTEREO
Burglars Frightened From Roberts
Home, Last Evening.

The knight of the jimmy who So
Journs through the land mostly be-
tween days, decided Tuesday morning
in the wee sma' hours there was
something in the George Roberts
home on Delaware avenue which
should, by right Of conquest belong to
him.
About three o'clock, the conquest
was on, the first point Of attack be-
ing the window aud shutters of the
north parlor. When these obstruc-
tions had yielded to the gentle per
suasion OF the "kit." the knight tip
toed into the hall, where a lighted
lamp stood on guard on a stand. Just
as he stopped to turn out the light,
Mrs. Roberts came to the door of her
room off the hall and saw the would
be thief. Realizing his dangerous
position he made a flying cap for
the open parlor window and escaped
Mrs. Roberts thinks she might rec
ognize the man for the reason that
She obtained a perfect Wow OF his
face while he bent over the bright
light.

The symptoms of stomach

Sick headache is a frequent
and distressing symptom.
A very delicate stomach
requires easily digested food
but nature never intended
that the food should be digest

what it needs is not food al

Cook has been at Parker for some
years, and Miss Dunkle comes from

berry succeeded Mr.. Taylor p Cab
bard as teacher. Among other oc-
cupations, he has taught high school
i'm West Virginia and he entered

other teacher, comes from Plcurls
day school, New Mexico, where she
taught seven years. and before that
at Chilocco, Pawnee, Cherokee, and
Chemawa. The only brick buildings,
which were erected by Major Nc
Nichols. are the kitchen and dining
room (with employees rooms up
stairs) and the laundry. Miss LYDIA
Little is cook and Miss Hattie b.
Parker laundress. Miss Little was
employed at Phoenix a few years
ago, but liked Colorado River so
well that she managed to return.

it has long outgrown its right to
that title, if 1t ever possessed such,

KINGSTON IS AN
ABANDONED CITY
Palatial Residences Selling for Songs
AN Ideal Place for
Sanitarium.

Kingston, N. NJ. Jan. 4.-This
town, which was once the banner sill
yer camp of New Mexico, is now
practically an abandoned city.
OF the thousands of inhabitants
once populating this beautiful noun
tain town now perhaps a half dozen
families remain.
The once fine homes and business
houses are deserted save for the
mountain rats and bats that fill the
empty halls of the old houses.
one can buy palatial residence
here for a mere song, fine old
house that cost at one time perhaps
four thousand dollars sold just last
week for $25.
A magnificent hotel that would
make a wonderfully commodius sani-
tarium could be had of the owner for
mere pittance.
The town has been going down
since, ten or more years ago when
the slump in silver caused the aban-
donment of the camp. For years not
a pound of ore has been taken from
the old mines.
"A man of moderate means could
buy the whole town now and make
sanitarium city out of it. Here is
fine opening for some benevolent
| organization to found a health re-
sort for victims of the white plague
tttttttttgo -heQ& ?shr emf shrdlun
the location of the place is ideal for
health resort. The only drawback
is the remoteness of the place from
/ the railway, 1t being a good days
stage drive from the nearest railway
station. Hillsboro, nine miles away,
Is itself only on a stage line.
The abandonment of this town
leaving the buildings intact fur
nishes a clue to the reason of the
abandonment of many of the old
prehistoric cities that abound in New
Mexico and Arizona. There are many
old ruins of cities of perhaps a hun
dred thousand inhabitants which
were evidently deserted by their in
habitants just as this modern town
has been deserted, and perhaps for
the same reason, a failure of mines
or more likely the water supply
which once filled their immense IL
rigation reservoirs.
Some day, perhaps me mines N.I
again be worked, but 1t will have l.
be soon or a new town will have Il
be built for many OF the presen
structures are already falling into
decay.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 4.-of all

of this city is the largest. 1t is

tiOn.
In gorgeousness, grotesqueness of

parade of the Shooters New Year day
was all that the most enthusiastic fol-
lower of King Momus could demand.

spent thousands to outshine each
other and the result was a glitter
