Is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
8 fharn O Carnfn Clat1c2

5 there a Santa Claus?
This is the question that hundred.
of perplexed boys and girls of Har'
risburg are asking to-day. For the
benefit of the little folk we reprint the
answer to this momentous question al
written by Frank p. Church, editoria
writer on the New York Sun in 1897
when that great newspaper was owned
by Charles A. Dana. Mr.. Church an.
swered the question in reply to hun,
dreds of letters received by the Sur
from its little friends. Possibly a bet
ter answer to rs there a Santa
CLAUSE" has never been written. Here
it is:
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the scepticism of a sceptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which Is not comprehensible by
their little minds. All minds, Vir-
ginia, whether they be mems or
children's, are little. In this great
universe of ours man is n mere in
sect, an ant, in his intellect, as
compared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the in
telligence capable of grasping the
whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
abound and give to your life its
highest beauty of joy. Alas how
dreary would be the world IL there
be no childrenlike faith then. no
poetry, no romance to make toler-
able this existence. We should
have nc, enjoyment, except in sense
nj cd OF 10Th Ia
which childhood filled the world
would be eXtinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimneys
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even IL they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what
would that prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus. but that is no sign
that there is no Santa Claus. The

can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? OF course not,
but that's no proof that they are
imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world.
You might tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but ther- is q veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even the
united strength of 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 Clausl Thank God! he
lives, and he lives forever. A thou
sand years from now, Virginia, nay.
ten times ten thousand years from
now. he will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.

THE CHRISTMAS TURKEY
BY Wing Dinser

Went to market this a. m.
With little dough
To buy food for Christmas Day.
And thought I'd blow,
First of all, a part of 1T
For turkey, fine,
So 1 went a pricing them
Up and down the line.
Then bought one that l thought
OF the proper size;
Gave up most of my long green
For my little prize.
Then no change was left to buy
Other food, but gee,
Zen though we have naught but turk
That's enough for me.

THE MUNICIPAL TREE

HARRISBURG owes debt OF
Fl gratitude to those who are ar

mas tree celebration for to-
morrow evening. 1t is very good
sign when busy men and women OF
varied tastes and interests enter sc
heartily into any plan for the enter
tainment of the whole community.
AS is always the case the burden is
falling on the shoulders of compara-
tive few. They must take consolation
in the thought that the whip is al.
ways for the horse that pulls. They
are doing a splendid and unselfist
work and whether they pause to say
so or not, Harrisburg people are not
ungrateful.

TAKING THE RIGHT COURSE

TT is a matter of qualification that
officials of the Livestock Sanitary
4 Board have taken steps to ascer-
tain the exact value of the cattle
ordered killed in the Statewide effort
to check the foot and mouth disease,
and it is to be hoped that the next
Legislature will give ear to the demand
of owners of stock that they be re-
imbursed in full. The lawmakers are
to blame in the last analysis for the
present conditions because provision
for more generous treatment of owners
was not made when the act Of 1913
was passed. No doubt prompt steps
will be taken to repay those who have
suffered losses.
When the cattle disease became
rampant the State was allowed to pay
only $40 for an animal of registered
stock and $40 for grade animal.
These figures are the maximum and In
certain cases cattle were valued below
those rates because they were not
worth more, but there were many in
stances in which the value of the
cattle killed was considerably more
than the maximum, probably three or
four times as large. The State, and
the Federal government, which bore
half the cost, went as far as possible,
but for fine herds the amount offered

 Great quantities of German and Eng fish comment. manufactured abroad with cheap labor are sold in Mexico and the United States.

Much foreign cement is also imported into the United States through Calves ton and California ports. That brought in a, Galveston cults into the business Of the central Texas mills which are forced to dispose of their product farther west and north.
