The National Stock Company pre-
sented the great Southern comedy
in the store building owned by W. R.
PLANT, opposite the Grand Central

and considering the disadvantages,
the company presented a meritorious
performance. Roswell is show hun

present. The specialties were new
and good. The company tonight will
present the farce-comedy, "Hooligan's
Troubles" 1t will be a continuous
round of side-splitting laughter and
there is not serious moment in the
play-just fun, and lots of it. 80

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1906-06-22

Of cliff dwellers, assume control Of the
relics and preserve them until Father
Time completes a work almost finished.
That the Federal authorities did not,
many years ago, have brought to their
attention the priceless evidences of
prehistoric race and their bearing on
the history Of the human family, seems
q matter Of wonderment among scien-
lists who have visited the Mesa Verde
and gasped at it's marvels.
Within the limits Of Colorado and
extending over into Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico are the remains of this
sedentary people, They were skillful
to a degree in masonry. They loved
ornamentation. Their ideas were en-
braced in symbolic characters. They
found themselves on arid plans and
mesas crossed by small rivers with mar
row flood plains They built them
selves permanent homes. The element
Of defense entered. No one knows,
however, that there was any reason for
defense-that they were not the first.
However, they wanted protection. They
were not skilled in the offensive; only
the defensive, it seems. They went
into secluded canyons with great, over
hanging cliffs, under which they rea-
soned they could well build their
houses. The geology of the country
lent itself admirably to the needs of
this primitive man. There were many
monstrous lodges of sandstone extend
ing over the canyons and forming very
deep recesses, with level floors. This
made an excellent place for the colony.
The habitations would be protected
from the elements. In fact, the climax
Of BODYBUILDING in primitive America,
at least. was there. Nowhere else did

solitary perilous trail and one man
could have withstood an army and
handful of men a host. The builders
adopted a strongly defensive class OF
homes, not trusting all to mere loca-
ton. They learned to construct a wall
with the greatest possible strength.
Their round form of wall was very
highly developed. Sometimes their
structures would present an entire cir
cular front. Some had circular towers
perfectly built for defensive purposes.
These towers would often be built
right up to the ledge overhead, making
fort of almost invincible features.
Disease Was Unknown.
In these secure dwellings and In
communities which offered the greatest
possible scope for the development of
their peculiar traits the cliff jewellers
perfected a civilization and a sociology

day declare must have been almost

development. The men attended to the
fields and crops and built the little
fortresses for their families. But, once
constructed, the homes were ruled alb
solutely by the women. And pleasant
homes they were. Scrupulously clean,
sanitary and we'll ventilated, they fur
nished ample scope for the development
of beautiful domestic life.
The woman ruled the home and hus-
banded the supplies. She reared the
family and nodded the character Of her
children. Unlike the present day Gus
toms, a man seeking the hand of one
of the fair cliff jewellers in marriage
asked the consent Of his loved ones
mother. If she was willing the wedding
took place. And then, instead of tear
ing the young girl away from her
friends and relatives and forcing
her, while still inexperienced, to
take up the responsibilities Of manag-
