The Doctors Christmas Eve.

The doctor sat beside tie CRATE,
The busy day was done.
His weary limbs had known no rest
Since rising OF the sun.
Thro' mud and sleet his way had led
For many dreary mile
Across the bleak and storm swept hills
And through the dark defile.
Tho storm had soaked bis garments thro,
The blast had burned his face,
His beard was filled with frozen sleet
While in his eye trace
or sadness seemed to hide smile
That struggled to be FREQ
For in bis heart the doctor thought
"How glad the world might be-"
II only those who have the means
Would try to make it 80,
To feed the hungry, clothe the poor
And staunch the tide Of woe.
Although he'd striven. might and main,
To do the best he could. .-.t
He knew that Thousand wept for bread
That hundreds needed wood.
That SORROW crushed thousand souls
That might be free and glad
Twas this that drove tho emile away
And made the doctor sad.
o! Why do human forms pass by
The needy and the poorf
o! Why against the hungry child
Do mortals close the doorf
God grant the time is soon at hand
When human hearts shall fnd
That happiness upon this earth
lie gained by being kind.
That wealth is given to be used
To tighten human ills
That he who cares. but for himself,
With joy his life n'er flls.
For pleasure never comes to those
Who crave it all alone.
For misery they might have saved,
They never can atone.
So let US try to make amends
To help all those in need,
For flowers blossom only where
Kind hands have sown the seed.

Warm Meeting. 81. U. har-
ris is Turned Down.
Some Hot Shot.

As was anticipated, there was the an
nual scrap at the regular annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Grand
Valley Irrigation Company yesterday.
The election of the directorate Of this
company brings up many things which
have been raked over the Goals during
the year. and on the door of the meeting
there is always pretty lively time an
ticipated.
James U. Harris was on hand to toll
how he was the friend of the laboring
man and how there was a mares nest in
the directorate which, il not rooted out,
would send the ditch company to the
demnition bow-wows. Tho public,
which has been fooled 80 long with the
rantings Of Mr.. Harris that they are not
going to be- fooled any more, turned him
down for a member OF the directorate of
the company.
The insinuations of Mr.. Harris, how
ever, before the election began brought
Horace I. DeLong to the floor and he
gave Mr.. Harris the coolest and cleanest
tuEniuS uo"u tuht BoutictAdu Aoo oSet
had. In fact, Mr.. DeLong's remarks
were 80 hot when they issued from him
that there was nothing left of Hsrris'
charges when Mr.. DeLong was through.
The people have about caught on to Mr..
Harris' everlasting plant that he is for
the interests Of the dear people.
The election resulted as follows, the
