From the current number of the Sheaf
we clip the following, regarding the font
in St. Johns Of this city: "The font is a
very quaint structure. Its shaft is a
piece of the trunk of the "cedars" of the
"Bad Lands"-those cedars which in the
dry atmosphere and.twisting winds.have
grown into almost rocky solidity-which
take a polish equal to that of mahogany,
which glow with the rich red of rose.
wood. Upon this shaft is a capital, turn
ed out of a larger block of the same
wood. In that is lodged for the bowl
one of those irridescent abalone shells
which are found off the coast Of Califor-
mia. This font is quite small, and yet it
is impressive. 1t is a memorial of a lit
tie boy, and ere long it will have a plate
engraved with his name"
The font was a gift of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Dodd in memory of their oldest
son, John, and is the workmanship of Mr..
Dodd.
Mrs. Geo. Hughes arranged one of the
pleasantest of social functions for Satur-
day evening last-a surprise for Mrs. A..
t. Crowl to celebrate her birthday. Un-
like some of the kind, this was a genuine
surprise to both Mr.. and Mrs. Crowl,
Miss Grace alone having assisted the
plotters. The company assembled at
the Hughes residence and laden with all
sorts of good things proceeded to the
Crowl home where, while Mrs. Hughes
asked entrance at the front, the rest of
the company-about seventy-stormed
the side door. The younger part Of the
company soon found their way to the
basement where dancing was soon in
progress. The remainder of the self-in-
sisted guests grouped themselves for
cards and enjoyed a game of progressive
euchre. After two hours of this enter
tainment, the company gathered in the
spacious parlors and Mrs. Hughes held
all spell-bound as she sang "Only in
Dreams" and "Only a Rosebud" and re-
cited a tragic selection from Romeo and
Juliet and the death of Cleopatra" 1t
was indeed a rare treat, as all present
fully realized. but with the enjoyment
came also a feeling Of sadness that Mrs.
Hughes SO soon goes to reside elsewhere.
Following the readings, supper was serv-
ed and in the wee smaN hours near Sun
day, the guests departed, wishing Mrs.
Crowl many happy birthdays.
