Love’s Challenge Called
and Romance of Long
Standing Ends Happily
"Let us get married, Alice, tonight”
said tbe bold young lover Louis Oav
nab to his pretty sweetheart, Alice
Howe, last Saturday night.
Nothing daunted, her reply was “I
am willing”, so County Clerk Barnett
was telephoned to and that official
prepared the license. After some
scurrying around during which every
minister In town was called for before
Rev. Haight was secured, In the
quaint little Episcopal Church, with
the Impressive ring ceremony the
beautiful romance of Miss llowe and
her gallant I tver was closed as their
hearts desired and dictated, a little
after nine o’clock.
The bride is the daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. Louis Howe, being one of several
girls In this famllv, all noted for their
rare personal charms.
Tbe groom Is a young business man
of sterling characteristics, being In
terested in the well known Winona
mines which he Is developing, and Is
highly esteemed by all who know
him. Mr. and Mrs. Cavnah will re
side with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Owens
for a lime.
SLANd IS OF OOOD PARENTAGE.
Some diligent student contributes
to Puck a list of striking Instances of
the use In famous bocks of slang
phrases which came into vogue long
after tbe writers who fathered them
often. It 1s true, In an entirely diffe.r
cm sense—passed away from earth.
"Forget It—cast it away," comes
from Hawthorne's “Marble Faun.”
and "It's a sure thing” Is found In
Goldsmith's “She Stoops to Conquer.”
It appears that “Twenty-three.”sig
nifying the last, is In that wonderful
and least Dickenesque of Dickens'
novels, "A Talc of Two Cities.”
“Cut In and win” is traced to Thack
eray's “Vanity Fair.”
Farther back, "Nothing doing"
crops out in Addison's Letters, and
“Gone to the wall” Is found In John
Runyon’s Immortal “Pilgrim's Prog
ress." In “Love’s Labor Lost” It Is
discovered that Shakespeare says,
'Give Hector a gift —a gilt nutmeg—
a lemon.” So one of the best slang
born phrases of the day, “Makegood"
can be located in Deuteronomy.
Tbe truth Is that many slang ex
pressions are merely tbe popular dis
covery or second birth of phrases and
words of ancient and excellent line
age. It is a great mistake to lump
all slang together as of like quality
and justification for Its existence.—

EXTENSION OF TIME ORANTED.
The following is the text of an or
der issued by the Secretary of the In
terior In connection with the exteu
sion of time for making payments un
der the Shoshone Irrigation project.
Senator Warren for some time has
been urging the Interior Department
to grant an extension of the time for
making payments, and the order,
which Is as fallows, Is the result.
“The Secretary of the Interior has
issued the following order In connec
tion with the Shoshone Irrigation
project, Wyoming:
1. Io pursuance of the Act of Con
gress approved February 13, 1911,
(Public No. 357) entitled ‘An Act to
authorise the Secretary of Interior
to withdraw public notices issued un
der Section 4 of the Reclamation Act,
and for other purposes,’ tbe following
order Is promulgated for the purpose
of relieving the present situ itim on
tbe Shoshone project, Wyoming,
pending the issuance of public notice
modifying or abrogating the notices
heretofore issued.
2. Action looking to the cancellation
of entries and water right applica
tions for failure to make piviuents
when due shall be deferred until De
cember 1, 1911, and water will lie fur

In all cases where payment is made
on or before April 30, 1911, of all op
eration and maintenance charges

Cody Club Disposes of
Mass of Important Busi
ness at Monday Meeting
At the meeting of the Cody Club
Monday night Governor Beck as pre
siding officer by his parliamentary
skill enabled that body to dispose or a
mass of business.
The court house proposition was
thoroughly gone Into. Proscuting
Attorney Walls spoke on the matter
of Cody becoming a special Irrigation
district under the Cody canal and
carrying with it the right to draw its
future water supply from that ditch.
He was given close attention by the
members.
Secretary Barnett’s resignation was
tendered and accepted with much
reluctance and Gilmore Hartigan was
chosen to fill the place.
The matter of repairs on the nation
al road to the Park was qp, as was
that of the Highline Ditch, and the
latter will be gone over when the
Franoie project is finished. A letter
from tbe Secretary of the Interior De
partment to Senator Warren was read
In which It was alleged that the seep
age was due In part to the use of too
much water. The amount has beeu
reduced from three to two feet with
the hope that it will remedy tbe situa
tion.
The Cody Club joined the B'g Horn
Progressive Association of which
Mayor Collins Is president, after G. C.
Morris, of The Herald had been called
upon to tell of the scope and purpose
of the central association. The club
ordered the *lO. initiation fee to be
sent to General Secretary C A. Welch.
Tbe various local clubs are assessed
and the Cody assessment is *3OO, being
l he same as Basin, Worland and Ther
mopdls.
Dave Jones made his report of the
comittee on envelopes as did W. L.
Simpson on the publicity comittee.
The reports of both were full, but
space will not permit their extended
notice.
Senator Schwoob, Dr. Waples, Mes
srs. Newell, Richards and C. E. Hay
den were appointed a comittee to can
vass each city block for the bond issue.
The club is alive on the proposition.
The Herald hopes to have space to
present Mr. Walls, argumentonCody's
future water supply.
SHERIDAN PRESBYTERY MEETS.
The Sheridan Presbytery held an
Interesting and succesful session as
outlined in our last issue.
The Herald regrets that owing to
the fact that the gathering was held
so late in the week, and to tbe fur
ther fact that this paper was literally
swamped with advertising favors from
Cody merchants, which it had not the
space to handle with its present me
chanical equipment, the report of the
Presbytery cannot be given.
New machinery will soon be -here
and the last thing The Herald will
make will be an apology of this char
acter in the future.
