BENEFIT DANCE TO Be
GIVEN MAY Is FOR
CATHEDRAL HOME
Cody People Asked to Contribute
Literally for Building of Home
for Wyoming Orphans

Possibly no more worthy cause
has ever presented itself to the peo-
pie of Cody and Park county than
the n which is asking for funds
to assist in the building and deveI-
.opment of the Cathedral home. 10
Gated at Laramie, Wyoming, which
is sponsored by Bishop N. S. Thorn
as of Cheyenne. The plan for rails
ing funds from the Cody community
Will be in the nature of a dance to
be given at the Irma hotel, May
18th, and entire proceeds of which
will go toward raising the Park
county quota for this worthy insti-
tuition. The people are urged to pur-
chase as many tickets to the dance
as they feel able and to give the
movement their moral as well as
financial support by attending.
Almost a year ago. w. h. Coe
gave $25, 900 to the Cathedral home
on condition that a like amount be
subscribed over the state. The
greater portion of this amount has
been made available. but Cody as
yet has not developed her quota for
this fund. Surely the people of
Cody and community will feel in
terested enough in the good work
that the Cathedral home is doing
in the state that they will want to
more than do their share. Mr.. Coe
will certainly look to his home com
munity to do its full share, and it
will not disappoint him.
The Cathedral home is a real
home for needy children. 1t is
caring for the children of the state,
wherever it may find them, regard
less of their religious affiliations or
Inheritance, and is doing very fine
work. Its efforts are not only to
care for the little ones when they
need a home, but to find them plac-
es where they may fit in and bright
en- the lives of those not having
children of their own. To this end
the Cathedral home is carrying ON
a gfeat woih, and has been sue
cessful in doing much good.
Those included in the committee
of arrangements include Mesdames
Il. V. Robertson, Ernest May, p. r.

had established the first stage line
to the Cody country from Red
Lodge in 1898, n the munifcent
rate which he charged for this SER
vice was S1.10 per hundred weight,
a rate very comparable to that
which would be charged ever to-
day, with the greatest developed ia
c~ilities.
The f%reighters at that time would
use three days in making the trip
from Red Lodge. They would make
it to Chance. Montana, the first day;
from there to Eagles Nest, and the
third day on up to Corbett, where

er, county coroner, and Undersheriff

Fork and brought the body to town.
According to the testimony of Mr..
Dickinson. husband of deceased, she
was apparently in the best of health
at the time of her death, and there
had been nothing which he knew of
which could explain the tragedy.
They were not involved in any fl
nancial difficulties, and life on the
upper Clarks Fork, to the best of
his knowledge, had been very salts

riage she had held responsible posi-
tons as al educator and business

been committed during a fit of tenn
porary insanity.

husband. was shipped to Seattle,

OLD LOVE MESSAGE OF
CENTURY AGO FOUND

A bit of romance from the past in
the form of home made Valentine
OF intricate workmanship, belonging
to Miss Elizabeth Johnson of Sails
bury, Md, was reproduced in AN
tiQues" in a recent issue of that
magazine.
The plate is given honor as 'front.'
piece and the article which accom-
panies it calls the old fashion token.
Loves labor, an elaborate piece of
silhouette cutting, further elaborated
with pin pricking. Interpretation of
the complicated symbolism of the de-
sign may be safely left to the imagi-
nation. The consideration which de-
serves emphasis is that this is a gen.
uine Valentine"
Miss Johnson believes the Valen-
tine was sent to a great-great aunt
Of hers, Miss Mary Ann Johnson,
who lived near Pennington, Della
ware, and was young lady in the
first decade of the 18th century.
The method of making can be
easily traced, as the sheet of paper
was deliberately folded and the de-
signs cut with a sharp knife. The
result is something of an accom-
plishment, and it is survival of a
very ancient custom.
The pattern of the whole is deli
cately done and allows an unlimited
translation Of its meaning. The en-
tire paper is covered with designs,
among which are a house, trees,
ships, eagles, doves, the figures of
men and women and other figures
which might be meant to represent
God and Goddess, there are also
doves and hearts and pin pricks to
more carefully color the effect.
This Valentine and one of similar |
effect, were found stored away in |
the attic, among other relics of the /
past. The other is owned by Mrs.
M. Cooper, also a relative
Of this former belle, and while not
rs intricate in design has a verse
which was written in ink in fine
5pencerian hand in a circle. about
he paper.
The dates of the Valentines are
estimated to be somewhere between
$40 and 1920. From long folding
he creases in the pattern are wear
ng thin and both Valentines have
'een framed to preserve their rare
,rettiness.
The real history Of the heart beats
ehind the tender little missive of
lore than century ago will per-
APPS never be brought to light, as
he name Of the sender of the ap-
ealing greeting has been lost, if it
ere ever known. The young lady
-ho inspired him, however, never
larried. II

who died June Is, 1928:
The month of June once more is here,
To us the saddest of the year;
For her memory is as dear today
As in the hour she passed away.
Day by day we saw her fade,
And slowly pine away
Yet in our hearts we often pray
That she might longer stay.
Through all her sufferings at times she
smiled,
The smile of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to us on earth.

Daughter. 1tp
