Sure There Is o Santa Claus! If
You Don't Believe it, Read This:

Nearly 20 years ago little girl,
Virginia O'Hanlon, 8 years Old,
evinced some doubt of the existence
Of the Santa Claus, who makes all
children so happy on Christmas lay.
Virginia was so skeptical that she
wrote tie New York Sun 10 find ou,
if there was any truth in the Santa
Claus story. The Sun answered her.
The Sun then was in charge OF
Charles A. Dana, and Frank P.
Church was the author of the Suns
reply, which was printed September
q, 1887. Following is the editorial:
.'tWe take pleasure in Intervening at
once. and thus prominently the coHI-
.nuniCation below expressing at the
same time our great qualification
that its faithful author is numbered
among the friends OF the Sun:
Dear Editor-l am e.sli yea1,,
cid 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'HANLON,
rs West Ninety-tiith Street.
"Vrginia, your little friends are
wrong. They lavc been affected by
the sEepticism of skcpticaI age
They do not believe except they see.

eyes, Virginia, there is Il Santa
Claus, He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas. how dreary would be

Claus. There would be no child-;lKc

"NOt believe in Santa Claus. You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire mon
to watch in all the cbinneys Oil
Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not sec Santa
Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus.
but that is no sign there is no SAM:

world are those that neither children
nor men can sec. Did you ever sec
fairies dancing on he lawn? OF
course not, but that's no proof tina:
they are not there. Nobody can con-

You might tear apart the baby's'

An Austrian aeroplane flew yester'
day to within a little more than three
miles of Saloniki and dropped bombs
in that vicinity, according to the re-
ports from Saloniki forwarded by the
Havas correspondent at Athens. An
other unconfirmed report was to the
effect that Zeppelin had been seen
flying over northern Greek territory.
The dispatch which bears tOday's
date is as follows: .-. r.

an Austrian aerOplane was seized yes

Saloniki. The aeroplane dropped five
bombs near the village of Apapli with.

aeroplanes started in pursuit, but the
