FELL OUT OF BED.
= Seemingly slight Accident Results in n
Child's Probably Fatal Injury.

CrNcINNATI, July Clara, the s.
year-old daughter of Valentine Winters,
a laborer living at 719 Central-ave., met
with peculiar and probably fatal acci-
dent about 7 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. The unfortunate child was tossing
about on her bed, when she accident
ally fell out. The back OF her head
struck the floor with such force as to
render her unconscious. As quickly as
possible DR.. Miller was summoned, and
on examination found that her skull
was fractured at the base, producing an
almost necessary fatal injury. In the
opinion of Or. Miller the iuckless child
can not survive, though last evening
she was still alive.

/ MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
Christmas is season Of jollity and
good cheer. Whatever glamor religion
and tradition may attach to the season
for former times. it is certain that moth
ing remains now but JOY and gladness.
II man has nothing to be happy for, his
friends try to make him so by ahowing
their appreciation Of his personal worth
The world takes tho cheerful position
that every man ought to be happy ard If
lac Is not, the whole world proceeds to
show him how to become so.
The chief means for the spread Of hap
piness is in gifts. There are birthday
gifts, wedding gifts, anniversary and
other special gifts, but the Christmas
gift is universal in its appropriateness
for the glver and its application to the
receiver. He is selfish man, who will
neither enjoy the inspirlting aud all
pervading jollity Of the season himself
nor assist others to enjoy it. He is a
mean man who will keep long face
himself and prevent beaming gladness
from lighting up the faces
Of those with whom be comes in con
tact. Fortunately there are few such.
Few can resist the resistless appeals Of
innocent fun "O'd scrooge is dead i"
peace to his ashes. there are not many Of
Lis kind left TO add the depressing weight
Of selfshness to the words pleasure.
"a Merry Christmas" is the universal
greeting Of all warm hearted people, of
true Christians, and the refrain comes
ack In cheerful echo from every Other
heart "Many happy returns for you It
is a merry, gladstone. joyous period and
the EVENING JOURNAL comes up
