\ Serious Runaway.

A serious and almost fatal runaway
happened last Sunday between lola
and LaHarpe. Frank Horville. John
Carmain and Frank Kane were
out driving in Horville's buggy and
were attempting to drive around an
other team when a wheel sank in a
deep rut. Hofville, who was driv-
ing, was elected bodily from. the bug.
gy by the jolt and the horse began to
run Immediately. With the lines
wildly flying, the two remaining oc-
cupants of the buggy were hauled
with the speed of the wind toward
town. Another wild lurch threw Car
main from the buggy, and knocked
Kane under the horses heels where
he caught on the front axle and hung
for dear life nearly all the way into
town. Several young men saw the
rig come in and they started east
soon as they learned what had hap
pened. The boys were all found and
brought to town. Horville was badly
cut and bruised about the face. and
Kane was sore from the iolting. John
Carmain is. the most seriously injured.
1t il not known how he struck the
ground but broad bruise on his face
indicates that he struck on his head
and the fact that he has been uncon-
scious ever since he was found would
indicate the same thing. He was
taken to his home on south Western
street and physicians are awaiting de-
velOpments which everyb body hopes
will not prove serious. The horse is
well broken hut is II spirited animal
and this Is the third time he has he
come uncomfortable and raced against
time, but never with such serious re-
suits before.
LATER: John Carmine has been
confined To his bed sll week and has
only recovered sufficiently to recog-
n re friends at Fimea. A slight con-
cussIon of the brain, the eff. cts of
which will wear Off gradually is said
to be the cause by his physician He
is bruised aud sore but the chances
for his recovery seem good and his
many friends hope that he will soon
be abe to be out again.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
How the Date Dec. 20 Came to BE Es
tablished.

There is some disagreement as to the
origin of Christmas day. The legend runs
that in the earliest period of the Chris
tian church some communities of Chris
tians celebrated the festival of Christmas
on Jan. /, others observing it on the 9th
OF that month. In some of the eastern
churches it was kept about the time of
the Jewish Passover, near the end of
March. There is also some evidence of
its having been observed on Sept. %, be-
ing the Feast of Tabernacles In the
year \. ID. go. when the Emperor Con-
stantine legally established Christianity
in the Roman empire, Christmas was OBJ
served ut the beginning of the new year.
while in the eastern church it was celc-
brated on Jan. u. Pope Julius eventually
effected compromise. and the 18th day
of December was established. These his
torical statements have been called i'll
question by some. but John Chrysostom.
the eloquent preacher at Constantinople.
in the fourth century confirms them.
1t is a curious circumstance that some
difficulty has been found in accepting the
date of Dee. % as the probable day on
which Christ was born. because, the close
of December being usually the height OF
the rainy season i'll Judaeu, ii is said that
neither nocks nor shepherds could have
been at night in the fields of Bethlehem.
This strange objection is considered OF
such Importance that it is Incorporated i'll

which treats of Christmas. 1t is one of
the curiosities of literature. The present

Shirt nf Chrinfmar.

About Christmas there is an inefrable
strangeness and mysticism. 1t seems pos
sessed of a spirit as well as body.
This spirit seems redolent in the air, in
the strains of Christmas music, on the
evergreen and Inistletoe and on the very
pealing of the bells which food tn
world with melody seemingly garnered
through all the l. months since that sa-
cred night when heaven kissed the eartt
and Christ our Lord was born and the
angel choirs chanted, GLORY to God in
the highest, and on earth peace to mel
of good will" For nearly 1000 years
this hymn has continued to ring down

re-echoes Ger the weary world at Christ

seemed as though seized with fever.
At each corner of the street many col
ored posters were TO be seen, and in
front of them groups of people gath
cred, commenting upon the spectacle OF
the previous night or that heralded for
the coming evening. The streets, which,
as a rule, were deserted at 8 o'clock.
were thronged until after midnight.
From end to end OF the little town the
merits of the respective players were
talked OF.
4 roll of drums was heard beneath
the window. and NJ. Lamier sprang TO
his feet. The nasal voice of Father
Onesime, the public crier and game
keeper. was heard distinctly calling
aloud in the same tone as the worthy
man ordinarily invited the citizens TO
kill the white worms or to muZzle their
dogs:

this suggestion was not deemed prac-
