Ancient Family.

Although most Of the present-day de-
scendants of the Huns are to be found
in Bulgaria, the premier family of the
hungarian nobility-the Esterhazys--
claim lineal descent from Attila: and
the earliest Hungarian records. to
some extent, bear out their claim.
They show no trace of their ancestry
in their appearance. for Attila was,
physically as we'll as morally. one OF
the most hideous characters in history,
while the Esterhazys are a conspicu-
ously handsome family. The biograph.
er of Prince Paul Esterhazy attributes
the improvement in physique to the
fact that for centuries past, owing ii
their colossal wealth. the Esterhazys
have been able to select the most
beautiful women as their consorts

THINGS We OUGHT TO Do
But II Seems Impossible to Do All
Of Them and Get Anything

a question which has to do with wom-

what they ought not do. They just
do it anyway. II we went without the
things we could not afford-but that

remarks the indianapolis News. If we

every evening we should have no time
for crocheting. II we busted the fur

we should not have time for those
delightful back fence conversations.
II we pulled the threads and hemmed
our dust cloths by hand We should
have little time to dust. If we wrote

instead of out of other peoples books,
we should have no time or brains left

To Keep the Flre.-When you have

without handling the book with sticky
fingers. A glass from a photo frame

coLoaAoo's FUTURE

The National City bank Of New
York estimates the worlds gold
production in 1914 at from $12 1000, 900
to SIS. 900, 900 less than in 1913 and
that for 1918 at $11 $50, 900 below that
OF 1912. Thus it will be seen that
the worlds gold output Is steadily dc
creasing, while the demand for gold,
not only at Home but in foreign lands
is steadily increasing. The increase
OF gold in the United States in 1914
was approximately $2,5OO,0O0 and it
is to the United States that the
world in future must look for its gold
supply.
The government Of the United
States, through it's congress should
see that such laws are passed, as
will enable the prospector to explore
the government pubEc domain for
this precious metal, free and untram-
meled, and in every way, aid and en-
courage the production of the metal
that is so necessary to the COM
fherce OF the world. Our present
legislature should a'so interest itself
and not only pass such laws as will
encourage capital to invest in mining
but pass laws locking to the relief OF
the producer from that grinding mon
opoly. known as the American smelt-
ing and refining company and its
sampling auxiliaries. Colorado next
to California now leads the states
in the production o. gold and her vast
territory is still in it's infancy re-
garding the uncoveiirg Of her vast
deposits that are still hidden from
the eyes of man.
The past three months of our min
ing history has revealed more uni
versal high grade gold strikes In
the state than were ever known be-
fore. Cripple Creek, SilveIton, Tel
luride, Clear Creek and Gilpin coun-
ties are each producing richer gold
ores at greater de th than was ever
known before, and before the close
of the year 1915 will pass. into his
tory. Colorado will be tie banner
gold producing state of the Union.
