Wanter q Pair Of Specs-It is said
that a woman who looked as IL she
had been long time In this vale OF
tears went into an establishment
where they tested and fitted the eyes
and said:

This way" said the obliging clark,
and he led her into q room that was
fitted up for optical purposes. A
small nervous looking man at once
surrounded her.
"Sit nere." he said placing a chair

card In front OF her. FIX your eyes

no DANGER

We fear the able and attractive
philosopher who writes pieces for The
Fountain Inn Tribune, over in Lau-
rens County, has fired shot that is a
little too high. He has apparently
made the pardonable error OF assum-
ing that everyone is as keen an OBJ
server and analyst Of the things of
life as he himself Is. Those who read
his productions have no such misap-
prehensions. Unfortunately, there are
few who can see as clearly and cx-
press their visions as attractively as
The Tribune's philosopher. whose ar
ticles are read with interest, no doubt
by the subscribers to that paper, and
are frequently given much wider ap-
peal through reproduction IL other
papers.
But the following from The Trib-
une man is. we fear. going little
too far. He says:
There an ethical question that
annoys me as Christmas approaches.
Should one tell child the time-hon-
ored, orthodox lie about Santa Claus.
or Is 1t better to tell the truth?
Imagine world without Saint
Nick and 10! there Is half the ro-
nance gone out Of childhood.
But. suppose one tells child that
old Santa comes at Christmas time.
and that a little King was born in a
manger at Christmas time. and SUP.
pose the child later learns that the
first half Of the teaching was a lie.
what will it think OF the other halfe
"Will child, cynical under new.
found sophistication. discard a pleas
ant myth and cling to q wonderful
truth? wonder
1T Ia the way of least resistance to
tell the oldfashioned lie. Santa is
dear to children. It is pleasant and
easy to crafty the childhood hunger
for fairies and princes and wonderful
magicians.
But then. vice il always more at
tractive than virtue. Truth is often
drab and commonplace and a. lie as
often sparkles with enticing pleas
ures.
What to do. Will some Christian
mother who teaches her kiddies that
santa Will come please accept q re-
tainer from old Saint Nick and de-
lend him In these columns?"
We do not believe that there are
many people who ever discarded the
Christian faith because they learned
the mythical nature OF the Santa
Claus legend (the orthodox lie," as
The Tribune man harshly character
Ices it. We confess that we never
before heard the fear expressed that
the disillusion az to the Santa Claus
myth might be accompanied by dis
Deiiei Of The other Eisrisinsss ato.y.
tnat OF the birth of Christ. II re-
quires mind such as that possessed
by The Tribune writer to even con-
meet the two. and there are few minds,
even In grown-ups, as incisive as his.
The mythical nature OF the Santa
Claus legend is learned years before
there is any tendency to doubt the
other Christmas story. and we do not
believe that the one shattering of
faith has any influence toward bring
Ing about the other.
Incidentally. 1t may be remarked
that the story Of the first Christmas
is not to be accepted as u fact, but
as belief-at least, SO far as the d.
vinity of the Christ is concerned. The
moment that II can be proven as
fact. there Is no room for the exercise
OF faith. the cardinal principle of the
Christian religion.

A Poor Substitute.

During a financial panic a German
farmer went to a bank for some
money. according to the Kansas City
Star. He was told that the bank was
not paying out money but was using
cashiers checks. He could not under
stand this and insisted on money.
The officers took him in hand one
after another, with little effect. At
last the president tflSd his hand and
after long and minuase explanation
some inkling OF the situation seemed
to be dawning on the farmers mind.
Much encouraged. the president said !:
