virginia. your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism Of q skeptcal age
They do not believe except they see'
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by
their little minds. All minds. vir-
glnia, whether they be mems or
children's, are little. In this great
universe of ours. man is . mere In
sect, an ant, in his intellect, COM
pared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the In
telligence capable of grasping the
whole truth and knowledge.
Eyes, Virginia. there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion ex-
list, and you know that they bound
and give to your life its highest
beauty and Joy. Alas, how dreary
would be the world IL there were no
Santa Claus. 1t would be as dreary
as IL there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith, then, no
poetry, no romance to make tolera-
BILE this existence. We should have
no enjoyment except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world would be
distinguished.
mot believe in Santa Claus?
You might as we'll not believe IN
fairies. You might get your papa to
hire men to watch all the chimneys
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus; but even If they did not see
Santa Claus coming down what
would that prove Not everybody
sees Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are those that
neither children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies dancing on
the lawn? OF course not; but that's
no proof that they were not there
No one can conceive or imagine all
the things that are unseen and un-
seeable in the world.
you may tear apart a babyS

inside, but there is veil covering

Some day Joe Fox hopes to be a heavy
weight champion. He realizes, however,
that he must keep In condition, SO he
fights everything that comes his way.
If 1t should happen to be n horse, so
much the better. In fact, such was his
last opponent according to Policeman
Singer, who was obliged to stop the bout.
The animal, which belonged to Sam
Cohen, of Sd and Winter streets, was
standing quietly near 18th and Vine
streets, when Fox. it appears, approached
it and started an argument.
The horse knew little of what he was
talking about and cared less. But It
seems the animals reticence only aggra-
waited the combative instincts of Fox and
he struck 1t in the face. Being handi-
capped by a wagon, the poor horse did
its best to dodge, but could not escape
the blows of the aspiring pugilist When
Cohen interfered, Fox included him in
the fight, 1t is said, but Singer ended the
bout with a right-hand jolt which made
Fox wish for the count of ten.
