TAYLOR REMEMBERS
SORROWING FRIENDS

In beautiful letter of coincidence
to s. z. Sl0ss and his two sons on tn,
recent sudden demise Of the wife anG
mother Of the home, Congressman Ed
ward Il. Taylor gives expression to sen
timents that encourage and inspire, and
does all that words can do ii minimize
the grief that has come into the Sloss
home. That Mr.. Taytor's expressions
Of sympathy as contained in the fol
lowing letter will be highly apprcciat-
ed by Mr.. Sloss and his sons, goes with.
out saying:
Washington, d. c., March 13, 1922
Hon. S. p. Sloss, and
Alfred, and Alvin Sloss,
Sloss, Colorado.
My dear Friends:
i have just read with profound sor.
row of the untimely death of your
wife and mother, and l earnestly ex-
tend to you my heartfelt sympathy
and sincere coincidence. l feel how
weak and futile are any words in at
tempting to console you for loss so
overwhelming, but 1 cannot refrain
from rendering to you the consolation
that Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield coun-
ties are better for her having lived.
She was one of Gods good women,
and her good womanly and high moral
character radiated a good influence,
and for many years to come you and
her many hundreds of friends living
will long
For the touch of vanished hand,
And the sound of voice that is still.
/ hope that sometime Colorado will
erect monument five hundred feet
high, to the pioneer women of our
state, who, like your wife and mother,
devoted their entire lives to hard work
and privation trying to Brighten up
the corner where you are,' and make
our state more civilized and better
place to live in Their ranks are rap
idly thinning, and as hey pass to
their reward in the Great Beyond, we
can only stand, hat in hand, and rev.
erently bow before the grave of the
noble and self-sacrificing spirit of a
devoted wife and MOTHERHOOD best
gift to the human race. The saddest
thought tU me is that she could not
have lived a great many more years
yet tn have rested and been gratified
and benefited by and enjoyed seeing
the results of her life work.
She has left you the greatest loss
and an unspeakable sorrow. But she
has also left you the cherished legacy
of superb womanhood. Her life was
such that she had nothing to fear in
this world or the next, and 7 know
if she had an instant 3 time to realize
that her final summons had come, that
she bravely bade farewell to you three,
in whom her whole life was wrapped.
and quietly and confidently journeyed
to that undiscovered country from
whoee bourne no traveller returns, in
response to the inevitable summons
which we must all soon answer. Let
us hope and believe, that
With a CHEEKY smile and wave Of her
hand,
She has wandered into an unknown
land.
7 trust the Heavenly Father may
assusge the anguish of your bereave-
ment and leave you only the cher
ished memory Of the loved and lost,
and tho supreme pride that Is Justly
yours Of having laid 20 costly saeri-
flee on the altar Of our Western Slope
country. May her sacred memory a.
wavs be An Inspiration and n guardian
Angel over an three o fyou.
Very sorrowfully and cordially yours,

"Iolanthe" With DeWof Hopper
 Delightful Play

Dewolf Hopper and his capable company gave performance Of ~1olanthe' at the Jefferson theatre last night that should have attracted much larger audience.
 Iolanthe" is not as well known, nor as popular as some of the other Gilbert and Sullivan operas. and while It's humor has too much of an English flavor for American appre- clation, with some of it's pertinence impaired by the flight of time, it is nevertheless a most tuneful com position. It was sung and acted last night With rare skill by Mir. Hopper and his associates. That. part of the story which has to do with fairies introduces some charming bits of fancy which lend themselves to a musical interpretation. The score Is beautiful and as strictly an operatic work "Iolanthe" is superior to the popular "Mikado."
 The humorous possibilities of the lord chancellor, which MT. Hopper played. are not as great as those of Ko-Ko in The Mikado," and there is not as much comedy in "Iolanthe" as there is in the Japanese opera, but Mr. Hopper and all the principals, without an eNcepliOI, gave a pralSe- worthy performance. The staging was well done and the vocal ability of the chorus did full justice to the opera.
 Mir. Cunningham and MT. Kelly as tho two British earls sang. as they always do, with distinction, while the superb bass of Mir. Waterous was heard in the role of Private Willis. MT. Duffey as Strephon and Miss Mackenzie as Phyllis. a dainty shepherdess. took part in some pretty love scenes, singing and acting with accustomed grace. Miss Mershon, mervelously transformed from the homely Katisha of Monday night. was in voice and personal appearance an admirable fairy queen. Miss Anglin as Iolanthe sang we'll and acted the part of the fairy mother of Strerhon with much charm.
 The satire" of "Iolanthe" belongs to day that is past. but the music will never grow old. because 1t has tho quality that endures.
 "Pirates of Penzance" will be pre- scented at the matinee this afternoon and "Pinafore" tonight.
