GREEN VERMIT.LION

Slipped Off Bluff at Cemetery and
Sprains His Knee and Wrist

Green Vermillion. deputy county
auditor, had narrow escape from a
serious accident and possibly worse,
Yesterday when he slipped in til 3
snow and fell off of a bluff in the
cemetery. He landed in heavy
bank of snow. and suffered a
spra!ned knee AMI wrist He was
alone in the cemetery at the time anu
at first was unable to move. He man
aged to drug himself to street ca
and get home.
Mr.. yermillion had been visiting
his wife's grave for the pulp Sc OF
LAYING some flowers there when he
started home. He slipped in the
snow, and kept on sliding and before
he could regain his balance went
over the edge of the bluff into the
ravine. He was stunned by the fall
at first, but managed to get up mo
get out of the cemetery. His fall hap

had the happiest Christmas for many
years.
Santa Claus was compelled to dis
appoint his little friends as to his
fight in his airship, owing to the non
arrival of new airship, which was
delayed by the railroad on account OF
Christmas rush; however. he by
drive in his auto. treasured the chill
dren that he was here according to
promise; he met them III front of
headquarters and taking them by the
hand, assured them If they were good
he would visit them Christmas eve;
each child OF the 200 and over was
given some candy and went away
happy. Santa received about fifty
letters from children aged from four to
ten years old. They were all good
and most of them pretty we'll written,
some expressing sympathy for the
poor and unfortunate, In fact they
were so good in so many points that
1t was difficult to say which was best,
A fine thought has been presented by
a writer in one of the many dailies
in which he says in reply to the
eft repeated remark, "Oh. there is no
Santa Claus Yes, but Santa Claus
is, that is SITS the spirit of giving
unselfishly, lovingly, that is Santa
Claus, and it is right, and may it
never die The community tree idea
is spreading, this year, all over the
country, and leaving its blessings; 1t
is bringing the poor and the rich to-
gether, breaking down foolish barriers
and emphasizing the brotherhood OF
man. Every village, town and city
in the United States should have a
community tree with it's accompany
ing carols and other music, every year
and 1914 should start the ball rolling
Our country would be better morally
and spiritually and get upon higher
plane than 1t ever was before.
