The Night Before Christmas
Clement Clarke Moore
Twas th;; night before Christmas, when all through tae house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were snuggled all tight in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced through their heads; "
And Mama 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 like a flash
Tore open the window and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow.
Gave a luster of 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,
( knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came.
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name;
"Now Dasher; Now Dancer; Now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet; on Cupid; on. Donder and Blitzen
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly.
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With a sleighful of toys, and St. Nicholas, too.
And then in a swinkling I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney came St. Nicholas with a bound.
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 likea cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow.
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face with a little round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly,
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf.
And I laughed when I saw him In spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of hi3 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,
And laying a finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team he gave a whistle.
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, "ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
! which J. V. Simon, principal, pre
i sided and in which the students gave
'a very pleasant greeting to the visi-
tors.
i The official greeting of the stu
I jdent body to the alumni was given by
I Edward Patterson and was well pre-

j the students of today. Lyons, Nebraska, a former resident
Hamilton Aleisineer. ciaver young nf thia ritv and who nossesses a host
student, gave a chalk talk in car
toons in which the various students
of the school were represented and
creattd a great deal of interest and
fun.
The girls' glee club of the high
school gave a number of the Christ
mas carols that gave everyone the
opportunity of enjoying their beau
tiful musical offerings.
A reading "The Other Wise Man,"
was given by Miss Ruth Lindsay, the
musical supervisor of the city schols,
which carried a fitting thought of the
day and was beautifully given.
The dramatic club of the high
school presented a clever sketch,
"Not Such a Goose," and in which
the young people acquitted them
selves in fine 6hape.
The student portion of the pro
gram was closed with the theme of
"Christmas Cheer" presented by R.
F. Patterson, member of the faculty
and which was a fitting conclusion
of this part of the program.
The alumni that came to look and
listen was also invited to participate
in the exercises of the day and in
this portion of the program super
intendent R. E. Bailey presided and
introduced the various features of
this part of the afternoon.
Miss Olive Gass, principal of the
high school from '1896 to 1906, and
who had for many years before been
a teacher in the city schools, was
present and gave the boys and girls
some interesting facts of the past
years in the schools and which to
the older graduates present was a
chapter from their own school life.
The class of 1888 was represented
by Dr. J. S. Livingston, who in his
entertaining way told of the school
days of his time and the "Gang" that
he had belonged to in his youth
and who are now sedate and gray
ing men. who are enjoying the hap
piness of their school life in the re
view of the boys and girls of today.
The class of 1925 was represented
of friends among the older residents
of the city.
Mrs. Coolidge was formerly Miss
Mattie Smith of this city, a daughter
of the late Washington Smith and
wife and grew to womanhood in this
city, where she remained until after
her marriage, when the family moved
to Lead. South Dakota, where they
resided for a number of years and
later moved to Rosalie, Nebraska,
where Mr. Coolidge was engaged in
business until a few years ago, when
the family moved to Lyons, where
they have since resided.
Mrs. Coolidge is survived by the
husband 'and three children as well
as a brother. Glen Smith, of Los An
geles, and a sister, Mrs. Louise Scott,
of Long Beach.
The funeral services will be held
on Monday afternoon at Lyons and
the interment be made tjiere in the
family burial plot.
Mrs. Coolidge was very active here
in the Presbyterian church circles
and has a host of friends in this
community who learn with the deep
est of regret of her death and share
with the family the deep sorrow that
the death has occasioned
From Friday's Paliy
Last evening while Dale McKown
and brother, William McKown were
starting on their journey back to
their home at Long Beach, Califor
nia, after a visit at Glenwood with
their grandfather, Webb Miller, they
m?t with' a very serious auto acci
dent at the turn in the King ot
Trails highway, a mile east of Union
and which will probably be fatal to
William McKown.
The seriously injured man had his
back broken in the wreck as the car
crashed from the highway into the
adjoining field and was caught in
the wreckage of the'auto, a larg
coupe.
Just after the accident Deputy
Sheriff Rex Young came along the
highway on his way home from Dun
bar where he had been holding a
public sale and he with the assist
ance of other passersby loaded the
injured man 4n his car and brought
him on into this city where tho Buf
fering man was examined and it was
found that he -wxh suffering from an
apparent broken back. The injured
man was given temporary relief here
and taken as soon as possible to
Omaha where he was placed in the
Methodist hospital.
Last night on reaching the hos
pital an operation was performed to
try and adjust the broken back and
all possible done to alleviate the suf
ferings of the injured man, his con
dition being very serious and with
the outcome of the case in the grav
est doubt. Mr. Young remained at
the hospital with the patient and
had not as yet returned home this
noon.
The brother, Dale McKown, was
brought to this city late last night
from Union where he had been given
care for his cuts and In Juries but
none -of which were deemed danger
ous. "This is the same ptaee where a
little over a year ago an Omaha lady
was billed when her auto crashed

This morning the girl's glee club
of the high school was out over the

Bills Found in His Possession
Then later the green sedan was
"spotted" at a gasoline station on
the Columbia River highway. The
knowledge that Hickman was fleeing
to the wide spaces of eastern Oregon
spread like a wildfire, and every
available peace officer in the district
was thrown into the manhunt.
When captured, Hickman had two
youthful passengers in the car. It
was learned that he had picked them
up at The Dalles. They were being
detained until their identity is es
tablished. In his possession was $1,400 in the
$20 bills which Perry M. Parker had
paid for the half-corpse of his child
last Saturday night.
After his capture at a lonely turn
of the road, Hickman wad immediate
ly taken to the Umatilla county jail,
where a heavy guard was thrown
about his to protect him from the
quickly gathering crowds of mob an
ger. Special details of officers were
sworn in to guard against a lynching,

persons, milling about the Jail, show

he began to wonder, no city hall
where Mayor Jim has held forth for

From Friday's DaJiv
Last evening while Mr. and Mrs.
Wayne Wells and two friends were
returning home from Louisville they
were the victims of a "road hog"
several miles west of this city on the
Louisville road and as the result
their car was forced into the ditch
along the road and damaged to a
great extent.
The Wells car, a Ford roadster,
was crowded to the right of the road
by a car going west and to avoid a
collision Mr. Wells was compelled to
get so far to the eide of the road that
his roadster was overturned into the
ditch. The car turned completely
over and the top of the car badly
smashed in the accident and but for
the fact that the occupants of the
car were crowded they would also
have suffered severe injuries, but
fortunately escaped with only minor
bruises and a severe shaking up.
The party was brought on into this
city and this morning Mr. Wells was
out at the scene of the wreck to have
the car brought on into the city for
repairs.
