Is THERE A
SANTA CLAUS?
New York Sun.

We take pleasure in answering at
once and thus prominently the coTnmu
nication below. expressing at the same
time our great qualification that its
faithful author is numbered among
the friends of The Sun:
Dear Editor 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 the truth, Is
there a Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA O'HANION.
Virginia. your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the sqepticisn of a skeptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which Is
not comprehensive by their minds.
All minds. Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's. are little. In this
great universe of ours man is a mere
insect, an ant in his intellect, as COM
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable Of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
and generosity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound and give
to your 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 Virgfnias. There would
be no child-like faith then. no poetry,
no romance to make tolerabie this
existence. We should have~no enjoy
ment, except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood

AT SNUG DOWN
w. Formerly Pensacola, of


and swell the flooding love OF life at
Snug Down.
At even tide the radiance of the west
Makes Snug Down seem to some the
best,
But Snug Down must ever face the
east
To sip the dainties of a feast.
Yet here the spreading lawn invites
to view the sunset
And an evening sky
All, me with spires and chimnies
Sticking up on high.
sway all Of destiny, for one may drift
across the pillows of life unknown
to compass-pilot or a star to turn
the PROV Of fate to honor and glo-
r1ous ending.
Could you wonder out to Snug Down
after the glow Of sunset has drifted
from the west, when the stellar blue
is curtained by deep shadows of the
night, and the ruant insect call in
vites repose and rest, we would cline
the ladder Of the stars and peer into
the scintilating depths that touch the
boundaries forever beciconfng to hui
man hope and human love. inspiring
the soul the holiness OF the kind and
| tender duty Of a man.
Thought flies swift and free in the
companionship of stars How little
and how frail our sphere bearing
away through orbitless time the tiny
sum OF human existence, the symbol
| and expression Of divinity, the local
dwelling Of the mind, that wonderous
ego. L
In all the visible universe vastness
cannot encompass the mind of man by
miserable effort choked and fettered
by creed and bigetry, parasitic fungus,
| shodowy inpediments to stop the on
| ward course and force Of universal
law.
At Snug Down mind is free because
nature is free. The limits of the up-
iverse only can bound the range of the
human intellect, and no known law
Of speed Is SO fleet as the human
mind.
| Life at Snug Down is simple be-
cause only only in simplicity can ma
ture impress itself upon the lives of
| men, for all nature is simple. The
beautiful and the rhythm of the great
harmony that speeds innumerable
worlds to their destined end can only
be revealed through natures simple
tho wonderful laws.
Some men live soul lives, other men
! live on the barron Cables Of exis-
tence, they may never know a soul
thought; they are detectives that ma
| ture abhors," her cruel edict leaves
them wherever they may be stranded
| and to that great law Of survival OF
those who are best fitted for per-
petuating the most worthy for exist
ence.
The artificial restraints imposed by
the social creeds of caste and vanity
excite sympathy for fellow men, fol-
at Snug Down the fellowship of mar
is beautiful law which accords each
man that. which, by his merit is his
due.
So this is thought, life and feelins
at Snug Down.
Reader you wonder where SINUS
Down may be found; approximately
1t can be found in 50, s. and So N. lati
tude. and partly in the longitude of &
human soul.
Snug Down, oh, echo of the sea,
What memories of childhood come
surging back to me
OF spray and wave and the glinps,
of a foreign shore,
And the rocking dreaming music O
the pillows and their roar.

JEW IN PLACE OF POWER
As Governor Of Egypt, Sir Matthew
Nathan Would Occupy Position
Once Held by Joseph.

Should Sir Matthew Nathan. for
mer governor of Natal, be appointed
to succeed Sid Eldon Gorst as gov
ernor of Egypt. history will have
taken one of those curious turns that
set agog the discerners Of signs and
omens, for this appointment that 10
pending would place in supreme ad.
ministrative control of Egypt the sec
ond Jew in four thousand years.
Sir Matthew Nathan would be the
successor to Joseph of his race In
the administration of country that
in the time of Pharoah. who befriend-
ed Joseph. was the granary Of the
world. and in these later days Is be-
coming one of the most significant
countries of modern times
Those who con the sacred scrip
lures for cues for the turns history
may make will seize upon this incl
dent as fulfilling one or another pre-
diction or fancied prediction of the
past, and much may be built upon 1t.
In fact, it will be but q coincidence.
but one of unusual interest. however.
The practical import will be that Sir
Matthew Nathan is reckoned fine
administrator and worthy OF all
honor.

BashfuI Young Curate Didn't Know
Object of SoIicitude Was Entry
In Steeplechase.

How to win the hearts of his con-
gregation was unconsciously solved by
an innocent young curate. Dean Hole.
in his Letters" tells the following
story:
"A young curate good fellow, but
very shy and bashful, came into a
parish which was occupied by York
shire yeomen who bred horses and
rode them and sometimes had steeple-
chases He did not get on and was
very much depressed.
"One day the clerk said to him: If
you please. sir, the prayers of the
church are desired for Lucy Gray
Very WELL said the curate. and
at every service in which the pray
er for all sorts and conditions of men
was offered the church was asked to
pray for Lucy Gray. till one morn
ing the clerk rushed into the vestry
and said:
"'You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeple-
chase

place

In the official call for the first uni-

Prof. Felix Adler. at Eisenach, in July,

says: Great is the historic pride of
London. Great, also are its manifold
tragedies Of sqLalor and poverty. This
varied story will be distinguished in
the summer of 1911 (July 26-29). by
an episode both brilliant and unex.

mankind in council. Representatives
of all human groups will come from
the four quarters. and lands that
know the Pole star and regions that
lie under the southern cross will meet
each other in friendly intercourse. In

be English, German, Italian and

NO Dust, No llQht.

Diffusion Of light through the atmos
phere Is due to thousands Of millions
of dust-atoms floating in it The finest
dust floats highest. and imparts the
tint of blue to the heavens. Were
1t not for dust the sky by day would
appear black. and the moon and stars
would be visible. All shadows would
then by inky black Everything would
appear differently. 1t is not "ths
ixht'' we see. but simply reflections
caused by notes of dust. as when q
ray of sunlight enters a dark room
through hole in the shutters. Mil
lions of dust particles catch the light
rejecting it back and forth from one
another, SO making the atmosphere lu-
minous.
