While the worlds asleep and dream

It still sheds its beauteous glow.

Covering all the sleeping earth
AS though lying still and listening
More than sparkling jewels are

Carving and molding statues
With the snowflakes from the sky,
AS though some immortal sculptor
Sent 1t to US from on high.
As I sit and watch, wonder
On this glorious white-robed night,
If It's not the fairest picture
Moonlight on the cleaning white.

There is still time to contrib ute to the Hospital Fund for new beds. Soliciting committees are at work this week in an effort to see every one personally but those who are not in when they call may still have a part in this splendid community enterprise by leaving their gifts at the Min CTS and Merchants Bank, the Nome Drug Store or the Hos pital.
 It is traditional that the people of Nome are generous, particular ly in caring for those who have met with misfortune. A modern hospital bed is a real factor in making sick people comfortable and helping them to get well. Your generosity now will mean better care for your family and friends when they require the services of the hospital.
