One Of the attractions was the Christ

Or can point to one

Some sorrowiug heart relieved
Which like the singing bird
Sweet melody received?

DR.. r. j. Mason, who fell and
injured his head Tuesday night,
December 22nd, was taken to St.
Joseph's hospital in Denver last
Friday morning. He was accom-
panied by his wife, who had been
notified of his accident and had
come from her home in penver
the preceding evening, and by
DR.. Rhyan. DR.. Mason stood the
fatigue Of the journey we'll, but
for nearly two days after his arri-
val at the hospital it was thought
by the attending physicians that
he could not recover. Uraemic
poisoning had developed, and this
together with the injury to his
head vas considered sufficient to
produce a fatal termination.
However, Monday the doctor
showed considerable improve
ment, and the latest report is that
his condition is steadily growing
better and that his recovery is
now assured. DR.. Mason has not
yet sufficiently recovered his

happened.
