mother who called for the basket;
warm, comfortable underwear for her
children; shoes, stockings—and toys.
And that meant no empty stockings
in many hundred homes.
That meant no heart-breaks in the
cold, drizzling dawn of Christmas
morning.
That meant a happiness in the
heart and a glowing warmth in the
body that the chilly gloom of the.
morning could not touch.
That meant "Merry Christmas!"
But it wasn’t "Merry Christmas"
for those homes alone.
You know (you people who made
[the Empty Stocking tragedy a thing
j of the past in Atlanta), and
i who called on you and saw
sponrl day by day—we know
us, and it’s all in the family,
In any of the men forgot everything
except their own anxiety to escape
from a possible death in the flame*

Aien
Contrast to this action was shown
In the action of some of the cooler-
headed miners. John Heikkrnen and
Henry Manley were crushed to death
with several children they were try
ing to rescue from the mad rush.
One man was seen to stoop and pick
aip a little girl. The madly pushing
crowd knocked him from his feet. He
• nd the child were trampled to death
A little girl aged about flve leaped
from a window to the street, two
stories below, and was practically un
it urt.
Many of the deaths in the panic
were due to suffocation under the
great p:le of human bodies This was
evidenced by the fact that many
bodies bore no mark of injury.
Saloon It Blamed.
Tracing the man who caused the
panic, private detectives employed by
the mine owners to-day learned that
he came to the ball direct from a
saloon. Persons nearest the door when
he shouted fire said that the breath
blown into tty* room with the cry
smelled of alcohol.
A Coroner's Jury waji Impaneled
h■ton after midnight and an effort was
made to make a careful investigation
of the disaster.
All public holiday festivities were
called off to-day. Celebrations In all
private homes in the city were sad
dened and most of them were aban
doned.
President Moyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners, to-day wired I
J'resident Wilson, Governor Ferris, of

we know,
you re-
• among
that the
finest part of all this big Christmas
celebration came Christmas morning
with the realization that THOSE
Kids haven’t got much philosophy,
the way we older ones see it. Our
own philosophy, at the best, is a sorry
sort of grin-and 1 -bear-it affair. The
kids (thank goodness!) haven’t got
that yet.
And (thanking goodness and the
Good Fellows again) there are nearly
a thousand Atlanta kids that won’t
begin studying that tough old phil
osophy Christmas morning in 1913.
You who did this thing don’t want
anv praise. You didn't do it for that.
This isn’t by way of praise.
It’s hard to know just what to call
it—an appreciation, or what.
But you surely CAME THROUGH,
you good friends who filled the empty
stockings of Atlanta for Chris’mas
morning, 1913.
The kids think it’s Santa Claus, of
course. That’s Just what they OUGHT
TO THINK.
You won’t frame up a better sys
tem of Christmas philosophy, or a liner
spirit of the peace-and-good-w ill-on-
earth brand than in filling the empty
stockings of a great city on Christ
mas Day.
You were regular Santa Clauses.
And all the world knows that Santa
Claus is the best sort of a Good Fel
low.
Thank you—
And Merry Christmas!
Say—it doesn’t look like
gloomy day, does it?

Georgian's Christmas
Tree Viewed by Throngs.
The Christmas spirit found a beau
tiful expression in The Georgian and
Sunday American’s Christmas tree
festival on the City Hall plaza Wed
nesday evening.
The tree is the largest, and most
profusely decorated in the South. At
dusk Wednesday it was lighted with
hundreds of electric bulbs. Towering
60 feet in the air with its tinsel and
decorations, it appeared the very glam
of toyland.
Wedemeyer’s Band started the pro
gram at 5 o’clock and when the
crowds had gathered the little chil
dren from the Georgia Baptist Or
phans’ Home at Hapeville, and the
Methodist Decatur Orphans’ Home at
Decatur, began singing Christmas
carols. The newsboys were there, too.
They sang and shouted and danced.
The first concert lasted until 7
o’clock. At 8 o’clock Wedemeyer’s
Band began playing again and con
tinued until 10 o’clock. The event was
the epitome of the Christmas spirit.
While the beautiful songs of those
little orphans won’t be heard again
Christmas night the tree will again be
lighted. Every little boy and girl in
Atlanta should see it. It is really the
most beautiful Christmas tree ever
seen in Atlanta; hundreds who were
at the festival Wednesday night
said so.

been lost. A warrant for Richardson’s
arrest was Issued by Judge Sewell and
several deputies went in pursuit of

ing just previous to the shooting.
When the Boy Scouts take it into
their heads to play Santa Claus—look
out!
Somebody tipped off the members
of Troop 3 that there was a new sport
for them. That was enough. The
Associated Charitia supplied the
names. The Boy Scouts of Troop J
did the rest.
The rest, by the way, was plenty.
Forty Boy Scouts, chaperoning forty
baskets—heavy, large baskets start
ed out on a hike the day of Christmas
Eve, and forty families that weren’t
expecting much of a day for Christ
mas were disappointed in one of the
happiest ways you ran imagine.
The New Sport sure made a hit
with the Bov Scouts of Troop 3.
