MONEY ROLLING In

Every one of the 10000 tags
which the tag" ladies started sell
ing at 8 o'clock this morning were
gone by 2 o'clock this afternoon and
5000 more were ordered. 1t Is ex'
pected that all of those will be sold.
The last lot are plain tags without
the red cross printed on them.
There wasn't time enough to do the
printing. Indications are that fully
$4,000 will be raised. At 2:3O the

WILL PROTECT
WATER FUNDS

Jacob Schiller, councilman for
the Third ward, has requested Cor
poration Counsel l.. X. Hamblen
to prepare an ordinance requiring
that hereafter all water revenues
shall be placed in separate water
fund, to be held for the payment
of all expense incident to the oper-
alton and extension of the water
plant. A cided sentiment in favor
of this change has developed
among the members of the city
council and it is thought that the
proposed segregation of water
revenues will be adopted.
The water revenues for the past
few years have been going into the
general fund of the city for use
in the payment of the current eX-
penses of the city, as well as
water allowances.

The age of this collection is vari-
ously estimated at from 1000 to
5000 years. Ethnologists have never
been able to definitely determine

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Oct.
10.-A movement, forwarded by the
Colorado Archaeological society, is
being promoted her eto gain gov
eminent permission to restore the
ancient cliff ruins on Mesa Verde,
near Mancos, Col, in order to make
a lasting chronological memorial of
the prehistoric race that inhabited
America even before the nomad
Indians.
That such restoration is possible
is proved by the work already done
in restoring to their primeval ap-
pearance the ancient cliff ruins
near Colorado Springs, which work
was completed about three years
ago. This work was first suggested
by Helen Hunt Jackson, who took
a keen interest in the preservation
of the archaeological and ethnolog-
ical wonders existing within the
confines of the United States.
The ruins on the Mesa Verde are

TAFT CARRIES
COURTHOUSE

People are beginning to wonder
II the republican county headquar-
tiers have been removed to the
courthouse, with Offices in nearly
every room If stranger should
visit the big ediflce on the other
side, where the machinery of the
law -grinds out its daily grist, he
might be induced to think so with
very little persuasion.
Life size likenesses of Taft and
Sherman have been posted in the
most conspicuous places. Under
who direction these campaign pic
lures have been posted no one
seems to know nor care.
The courthouse has often been
used as place for political gath
erings of all parties, and each cam
paign produces its crop of cards
stuck into every notch and
crevice, which has very ungain-
ly appearance. but now the build
fng evidently belongs to Taft and
his followers.
Strong objection has been heard
from democrats who observed the
monopoly and some action may be
taken to either equalize the situa-
ton with a few Bryan visages OK
have them all removed.

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., Oct TO-
What Is believed to be the most
valuable chronological discovery in
recent years was brought into Flag
staff last week and Grated for ship
ment to eastern museums. 1t con
sists of of 172 pieces of ancient
pottery and many other articles
used by the ancient pueblo jewellers
on the southwestern deserts, among
which are many stone implements,
rudely woven cotton and rabbit
skin fabrics and a large quantity of
corn, with seeds of melons and
sQuashes, used by the Aztecs as
food. Two complete skeletons of
men and the mumified body Of a
woman were also found in the ex-
cavated ruins.
Two of the pottery vessels are
especially valuable. as they are the
first of their kind ever found In an
ancient ruin One Is flat vessel
fashioned into the form of duck
and the other lamp rudely formed
into the shape of some nondescript
animal. Their value Is estimated
at $4,000. AS no other sculptured
pottery has ever been found in the
southwestern ruins it is believed
that these will form the lost link

ervation, plan found necessary
several years ago to preserve the
ruins from the depredations of tour
lists and relic hunters.
Much damage had already been
done by vandals, however, before
the law declaring the reservation
was passed, but it is now believed
that when the proposed restoration
is made these relics of a wonderful
people will be adequately preserved
for the study of future generatior1t
Some such restoration is necessary
if the ruins are to be preserved, for
while they stood the action of the
elements for thousands of years,
the general use of irrigation has
now so affected the climate of
southern Colorado that the ruins
are fast crumbling with the action
of a damper atmosphere.
At present these are the best pre-
served ruins of genertl chronological
interest in the United Stated and
are visited by thousands of tourists
every year.

Those persons averse to giving
to the charitable fund being raised
for the Sacred Heart, Deaconess
and st. Luke's hospital and the
associated charities today by more
than 200 tag" ladies, have found
it best to allow themselves to be
tagged" for the persistence of the
ladies has proven too disconcert-
ing. Some of the excuses, mostly
offered in fun, were ludicrous in
the extreme. One man protected
himself for awhile with tag of
his own making bearing "23' in big
red letters, but even he was finally
forced to donate.
Nothing doing" my wife beat
you to It," is frequent expression
heard.
The predicament of one man cost
him $3.50. He was willing enough
to donate, but gave a $40 gold
piece instead of a half as he in
tended He discovered his mistake
as he saw the yellow piece slip into
one of the little safes the ladies
carry.
"Hey," he shouted, as the coin
eluded the grip of his fingers and
slid away among the other coins,
"Why. what's the trouble?' asked
the tag lady
II put in ten for half. Gimme
back my change"
Sorry, but l can't open it."
"AIl right" he said.
The ladies are assisted mate
rally by the men. The sterner sex
stands around in much amusement
and watches the tagging. Now and
then an individual will scowl when
approached and refuse to come
through" but he usually does when
he sees a lot of men around and
they call out, Come, kick in old
chap"
One individual who proudly as
serted that he was way winner on
the ponies" went from one to an
other of the tag girls and donated
to each and received tag from
each. When last seen he was deco

WEARING OF JEWELS
LITTLE UNDERSTOOD

Jewel wearing is an art few
women understand. Women should
choose gems becoming to their
beauty and complexion.
On dull eyed days the eyes will
appear duller with diamonds in the
ears, and the sad, pale woman will
appear livid wearing pearls.
Diamonds are becoming to few
women. There are brunets who
can wear them in the ears and ap-
pear we'll The pale blond also
looks pretty with diamonds in her
ears. but the average woman
should wear her diamonds else
where.
Some wear topaz and other vel
low stones who dare not venture to
wear brilliant colors. They take to
all shades of yellow, from amber
to the pale shades of tortoise shell
and gold.
The amber loving woman has a
creamy complexion. Her skin Is
clear and a faint red shows in the
cheeks There is a topaz beauty
also, whose skin is creamy, with a
touch of olive in it. She looks
lovely with rubies in her ears, but
pearsl are not for her.
Lucky the woman who can wear
coral. A coral skinned beauty
cheeks must be as bright as the
reddest coral. with shadings of deli
cate pink. 1t Is a good plan to rub
the cheeks with a rough towel, to
massage them with good creams
and use plenty of water, not forget
ting an occasional milk bath.
Turquoises are difficult to wear
to advantage. The stones bring out
the pallor. A baby face with eyes
of clear, shining blue looks well
with turquoises near 1t. The black
eyed woman and the woman with
brownish eyes should not attempt
to wear them, for the stones are
| too bright. The woman with tur
| quoise eyes can wear a string OF
blue around her neck advantag
eously and can put turquoises II
her ears.
