THE LIBRARIAN’S COZY CORNER
A Column Devoted to the Interests of
the Cody Public
Library
lion. Cyrus Beard, chief of the
Wyoming supreme court, last week
contributed to the Park county mem
orial shelf two very attractive and
handsomely bound volumes. The
work Is one of Anthony Trollope's
entitled “The Vicar of Bullbampion."
Not only h is this gift the merit of be
ing an excellent literary production,
but its value as a donation to the
shelf consist largely in the fict that
the superb binding of the books is a
specimen of the handiwork of Mrs.
Beard. Not only do the books attest
to a high degree of skill in the art of
bookbinding, but likewise remains a
subtantlal evidence of generous fepl
ings which this eminent jurist and
his wife have for the library of Cody.
Our heartiest thanks are extended to
Mr. and Mrs. B;ard. The precedent
i thus established by the chief Justice
Is one that should be followed by all
other members of the bar anl all
preminent citizens in general.
Dr. L. Howe, county coroner, pre
sented to the library one of F. Marion
Crawford's Justly popular novels en
titled, “A Lady of Rome.” It can be
found on the memorial shelf and the
doctor has our thanks for this contri
bution.
Our old friend, Prof. Pruitzen
schweilzerof Bivar'a has at last been
beard from. For many weeks he has
been excavating the ruins of defunct
cities in the backwoods districts of
Assyria and has made many wonder
ful discoveries which may throw light
on the customs and social usages of
the ancients. In one place he found
a shattered vase and close beside it a
badly damaged human skull, which
bears evidence of having originally
belonged to some Assyrian gentleman
of the up|>er class. The professor
has deduced a reinaakable lucid
theory of the weird tragedy that may
have been enacted in the dim and
distant past. Here is what he says of
the matt r.
“There is no doubt but that the
vgse was a valuable one and that It
was held in the highest esteem by the
women-folks of the Assyrian house
hold. It seemi In have been of a
strange Chaldaean manufacture as
the fragments are richly embellished
by old Plutonic arabesques and
Pythagorean pbantasmagories which
I have every reason to believe were
quite In stvle at that time. The
gentleman who possessed the skull,
or he of whom the skull was a portion,
evidently came borne after a hard
night's vigil at the shrine of Bacchus
and inadvertently or otherwise cap
sized the venerated piece of bric-a
brac and shortly after met a horrible
fate at the hands of the enraged fe
males of the household.
I am earnestly searching for the
remains of Persian mop-handles,
Median broomsticks or Phoenician
rolling-pins, as any such discovery
BIG LIND DEAL BROUGHT
TO SUCCESSFUL FINISH
W. B. Coe, of New York, wealthy,
and the son-in-law of the late H. 11.
Rogers, the Standaid Oil magnate,
made heavy purchases of real estate in
Park county this week running up In
to the thousands of dollars. His
acquisition of the state school lands
at the court house was only a small
incident in the large transaction car
ried through by C. A. Zaring for Mr.
Coe.
Mr. Coe gets the Carter ranch of'
Col. Cody, 240 acres of state school
land, and the control of valuable leas
ed lands from the state.
The deal Is sigifleant of one thing—
that wealthy eastern men are alive to
the present and future value of such
holdings and they eagerly purchase
when properly placed before them for
their consideration. It is the inten
tion of his client, Mr. Coe, Mr. Zaring
said, to expend considerable money
upon improvements of a permanent
and valuable character upon the lands
purchased.
SELLS CAR TO MONTANA MAN.
The Cody Trading Co. has just sold
Clarence Slrrine, of Chance, Mont., a
new E M.F.3ocar. The significance
of this particular sale is found In the
fact that after a year's critical investi
gation of many makes Mr. Slrrine
found the E. M. F. to be the best
adapted for this country.
Senator Schwoob reports renewed
inquiries for bis car.
RICE HUTSONPILLAR BACK.
Bice Hutsonpillar, who has been m
Denver for some time past where he
underwent an operation, returned
yesterday. Rice is looking much bet
ter and is back to stay, so be says.
would be conclusive proof of the cor
rectness of my theory In regard to the
untimely taking off of theunfor unate
husband whose osseous remnant I
have before mentioned."
We shill hear frequently from this
zealous Investigator from now on and
all Interested in archaeology should
not fall to read the reports which he
will send to this column.
The new style of spring hat has ap
peared in our midstand is attracting
considerable attention from pedes
trians and others who have encounter
ed It. The ingenuity of the creator of
fashions has been taxed to the utmost
and and the result Is a sort of cross
between the “peach-basket” and the
“merry widow.” It Is quite effective.
The “peach-basket” droop adds dig
nity and coyness to the vast and ter
rifying expanse of the famous bus
bandless headgear, and it also serves
to conceal the Identity of the culprit
who 'eloniously pokes out the eye of
the innocent bystander with a purple
turkey-feather eight feet long with
which said hats are frequently and
ferociously equipped.

instructions, as have all postmasters
