A FAMOUS EDITORIAL.
What Mr.. Church Told Little
Virginia About Santa Claus.

New York Sun.
Dear Editor: I am eight years old.
Some of my little friends say there is
no Santa Claus. Papa says: "If you
see it in the Sun, it's So" Please tell
me tie truth. Is there Santa Claus
Virginia O'Hanlon.
No. 115 West 95th street.
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the scepticism of sceptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is
not comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's, are little.
In this great universe Of OUTS man is
a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect,
as compared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the intelli-
gence capable Of grasping the whole
of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is Santa
Calus. He exists ais certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound and give
to our life it's highest beauty and JOY.
Alas! how dreary would be the world
if there were no Santa Claus. 1t would
be as dreary as if there were no Vir-
ginias. There would be no childlike
faith then, no poetry, no romance, to
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except in
sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as we'll not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas Eve to catch Santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove? No.
body sees Santa Claus, but that is
no sign that there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see fairies dane
ing on the lawn? Of course not, but
that's no proof that they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine all
the wonders there are unseen and
unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which, not the strong
est man, nor even the united strength
~ all the strongest men that ever lived
could tear apart Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is
it all real? All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he
lives, and he lives forever. A thou
sand wears from now, Virginia., nay.
ten times ten thousand years from
now, ha will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.

THE WlLLMAR BAND
CONCERT TUESDAY

An event which ought to interest
every WiIlmar citizen will be the
concert to be given by the Willmar
Military Band at the opera house
next Tuesday evening. For many
years this city has been struggling
with the band question. one organ
ization giving way to another. but
at the present time we have a band
which is efficient and worthy of the
hearty support of every loyal WILL
marite. The boys have arranged
for this concert in order to secure
some financial assistance, and we
trust they will be greeted by a
crowded house. 1t goes without
saying that the program will be
interesting and varied enough to
suit any taste. Furthermore the
band will be assisted by Miss Ethel
E. Reed, Of St. Paul, who will
render a group of piano numbers,
and this will no doubt add great
deal of the enjoyment of the eve
ming. Miss Reed spent most of the
spring and summer studying with
masters in Italy, and this will be
her first public appearance in Will
mar since her rqturn T 0ca1 ta-
lent will also contribute numbers
to the program.
Let everybody hustle to make this
affair huge success. 1t will mean
a good deal to enjoyment for all,
and a better band for Willmar
The price of a ticket is 35 cents.

JOHN HENRY PARSONS.

Saturday evening, December 3,
John Henry Parsons answered the
final summons and passed from
earthly scenes to the home eternal.
While in the prime of life and
with apparently many years of use-
fulness before him he was suddenly
stricken with heart failure on We'd
nesday and tho rallying somewhat
he did not fully recover and Satur-
day evening suffered another and
fatal attack.
The news of the death of John
Henry Parsons. who was one of
Kandiyohi County's most highly re-
spected residents, was heard with
genuine sorrow by friends and ac-
quaintances. The oldest son of P.
H. Parsons Of Spicer. he was the
first child born at Irving, and with
the exception Of three years spent
at Huron, S. D., his whole life of
fifty -one years was passed in Kandi-
yohi county. In his early man.
hood he was married to Miss Mar
garet TAFT, who is left to mourn his
loss. Honorable and just in all his
dealings he was in truth "A manly
man. and his friends were legion.
By his death his dear ones are de.
prived of the love and protection OF
one of the kindest and best of hus-
bands and fathers. and the commun.
ity, where his nobility of character
was known and appreciated, has
met with an irreparable loss.
Deceased leaves besides his wife,
three daughters, Mrs. r. M. Whit
mus, of this city, Miss Edith Par.
sons at the family home and Miss
Ruth Parsons who teaches at Eagle
Bend, his father and many relatives
and for these kind words of sympathy
are heard on every hand. In these
expressions of regret at the death
of this good man and sympathy fo1
his dear ones, the Tribune sincerel,
joins, for it numbered among it
best friends John Henry Parsons
The funeral was held on Tuesda,
afternoon at the home at on,
o'clock. Rev. Akers Of Crookston
former pastor Of the deceased
officiated at the services. Th'
body, attended by many friends ant
neighbors, was borne to Oaksid'
cemetery and laid in it's last resting
place.
