appreciated the difficulties which pleas

and nearly all entered into the effort
with hearty good will. The sue.

united efforts is ours Antonito can

A cloudburst occurred In the foot
hills between Monte Vista and Del
Norte. No lives were lost, but the
residents suffered much damage.
Boulders weighing several tons were
washed down the mountain side and
carried far into the valley as though
they had been mere pebbles. Four
miles OF the wagon road between there
and Del Norte were washed complete
ly away. The Denver a. Rio Grande
railroad tracks were threatened. but
were not badly damaged.

The Charming Woman

Is no, necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many a plain woman
who could never serve as an artists
model. possesses those rare qualities
that all the world admires: neatness,
clear eyes, clean smooth skin and
that sprightliness of step and action
that accompany good health. A physi-
cally weak woman is never attractive,
not even to herself. Electric Bitters
restore weak women. give strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth. velvety

is but a man, but through his own
efforts he placed himself in a position
to slap kings familiarly on the back
to emphasize his remarks. Which one
OF the two is entitled to the greater
distinction? What astonishes Eng

tered into pleasant conversation with
Mark after the caress, instead of ban

few of the theatrical set, but the

for Maud or Maud isn't good enough
for the husband. So they are pleased

STURDY SONS TODAY

New York. September 21.-A me-
mortal, BETTING the heroism and self
sacrifice of the men who fought and
died or sacrificed their liberty to Sc
cure the freedom of Ireland in the i'll
starred uprising of 1S65-1S67, will be
unveiled in new York tomorrow to
perpetuate the name and fame of the

The day selected for the unwilling

is the anniversary of England's exc.
cution of Ireland's immortal patriot
and martyr, Robert Emmett.
The exercises tomorrow will be pre-
coded by parade in which the First
Brigade of Irish Volunteers and the
various Irish societies of Greater
New York, will be in line.
The memorial, which cost $4,000
has been erected in Calvary cemetery,
and is in the form OF a large Celtic
cross, standing ON granite pedestal
rising to height of thirty feet Ar
lists declare it work of art unique
in its historic relief figures and the
general expression is creditable alike
to the designer, sculptor and those
responsible for this tribute to the
patriotism of the Irish Fenians.
