A VISIT FROM
CLEMENT C. MOORE
'Twas the night before Christmas,' when all through' the house.
Not a creature was stirring, nbt'eren' a" moaie;
The stockings were hung" by the chimney with care,
1 In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
. While. visions of sugar-plums danced through their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I In my cap.
Had Just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the -window I flew ltk'e a flashV
Tore open the' shutters and tfcrW up the sa'sh.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gaye'a lustrVof midday to objects below;
When .what to. my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver; so lively and quick
X knew in a moment it must be iSt. Nick.' 1
More rapid than eagles ,hls coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted' anif called them by name:
"N'oW,' Daaser! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! 'oh. Cupid! on, bonder and Blltzen!
v To the top of the porch, to the. top of the wall!
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
As dry jeaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When th'ey meet with ah obsU'clermouiit to' the sky.
So,' up to the house-top' the courses ttiej flew,
With ' a sleigh full of tbys',-ani .it. Nicnofas too'. , .
Arid then In a twinkling I heard on the roof
? The pranemfg and Rawing pf each little hoof, y ;
As I drew in my. head arid was turning around,
' Dowtf the chimney St, Nicholas came with a bound. C
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, -And
his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back.
And he looked like a peddler just' opening his pack. .
His eyes how they twinkled!; his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses,' his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth eras drawn' up like' a bow
' And the beard on his chin was as white, as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held
And the smoke it encircled
. He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly..
He was ahubhy, and plumjj-a right Jolty old elf '
v i. - i Ano. i jaugnea wnen i saw mm in tpiie ok wijoil.
A witfk'of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work;
And-filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk,
'i' An'd Kylng his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the cnimner he rose. f
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
$, iAn-J they all flew like the down of a thjstle. , ,
v. v- 6ut i heard him exclaim, 'ere he drovebut of sight :

Its might the; proposal of a coun

. A meeting of the bureau, held
Saturday at the Chamber of Com

its time toMhJs matter of a coun

where the bureau Is- very strong,
the "County agent is found to be

That's a lot of money but they
stuck to their figures and all

not always so remarkable in

The meeting discussed briefly
the State Chamber of Commerce

taken up at length at the recent

Portland.
, Plans for a better financial

activity for the county zoiye
were" discussed. They will be
elaborated upon at the next meet

"Can ye give me and me pal a

The question was put to cTief
Moffitt at the police station' late
Thursday night. It. came from a
"floater" who had wandered in to
escape the cold night air. Appar
ently he was alone.
The chief looked surprised.
"Who's the pal?" ho asked. The
floater pointed to the floor.
By his side was a little brown
shaggy dog with wistful eyes.
The chief found a vacant cot
for the wanderer. Early in the
morning the night sergeant had
occasion to enter the Jail. A
strange sight was there for him.
Huddled up on the small cot lay
the "floater" and his little four
footed friend, sound asleep. Only
the little animal's head and fore
paws were visible above the cov
er. His body, man-like, was
stretched out in the same man

In the morning someone asked
the knight of the road how long
the two had been traveling to

answered. "We always travels
together an sleeps together."
The floater's name,' according
to the police book, was George

Workers of Salvation Army
DistriDUte Baskets to
Poor in Salem
I Christmas cheer was brought to
many yesterday through the Sal
vation army. - The organisation
was used as the distributing agent
by many. Among the many who
helped distribute the- Christmas
baskets all reported that the poor
who received the baskets freely
expressed their gratitude, f; ' v,;;
. Each basket contained tugar,
rice, beans, i corn, celery, jar
honey, canned fruit, potatoes, ap
ples and roast beef or chicken and
fn some cases there was also but
ter and bread; coffee and milk.
About 9D Imskrtswere sent out
and there are a few who have sent
in their names since the distribu
tion, and Captain Holbrook says
they will not be forgotten.
People' Are Loyal
The newspapers, according, to
Captain Holbrook, were a great
help in making the day's festivi
ties a success and he says that he
reels grateful to the good people
of Salem who stood by the Salva
tion army in its e forts to reach all
the needy in the city. There was
hot a name of a person given in
but that was personally visited
and efforts were made to provide
for all. There was a, big gather
ing at the hall for the big Christ
mas tree that was a sucess from
every point of view. Candy and
fruit were there for all and it was
a happy gathering of kiddies and
how they did cheer when Senta
made bis appearance.
.. The" program was given by the
Salvation army Sunday school and
the children played their parts
well.
Program Given
Captain Henry J Moris acted as
chairman of the evening and the
folowing program was rendered:
Loyalty class, "Silent Night";
recitation, Colin Morris; dialogue.
"Mr. Cigarette"; Solo, Grace Bar
ker; recitation, Harry Todd; song;
"Sunshine", class; recitation,
Louisa Mayou; solos, "The Deaf
Little Baby," "Beautiful Christ";
recitation, Mary Albright; recita
tion, Francis Mayon. There were a
number of other songs and recita
tions by Tommy Todd, the Barker
family, Audry Jefferiea and Fanny
Shultt.
The goodly amount of provis
ions that were given to the Salva
tion army shows, . says Captain
Holbrook, that the people of Sa
lem have not forgotten the work
of the organization.
Xceds Not All Met
. Mrs. Captain Holbrook is a wel
fare worker with a vast experience
having always shown that she
knows how to reach the hearts of
the poor and needy and is always
willing to give her best for their
help, and comfort. And as lon
as there are goods to distribute
they will te given and the. Salva
tion army officers in the city will
do their best to see that all is
done to alleviate distress regard
less o the cause.
. There is still some need for
furniture and baby clothes.
