Is I here q
Sa11ta Claus?


NE Of the finest things ever
|vk written about Christmas was
the editorial printed 20 years
ago by the New York Sun In
answer to the earnest appeal Of q little
New York girl to be told whether
Santa Claus really exists. Its author,
Frank r. Church, was an accomplished
Journalist and wrote much on many
subjects. but his fame will rest chiefly
on this beautiful setting forth Of an
eternal truth. With DR.. Clement Clarke
Moore's "A Visit From st. Nicholas
it Is one of the great classics Of the
Christmas season.
The answer to the eternal question
as printed in the Sun follows:
+ I'VE take pleasure IN answering at
once. and thus prominently, the COM
munication below, expressing at the
same time our great qualification that
its faithful author is numbered among
the friends Of the Sun:
Dear Editor-I am eight years old.
Some Of my little friends say there 10
no Santa Claus. Papa says: II you

great universe Of ours man is mere

him, as measured By the intelligence
capable Of grasping the whole truth

Eyes, Virginia, there is Z Santa
Claus. he exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound and give
20 your life Its highest beauty and Joy.
Alasl How dreary would be the world
II there were no Santa Claus It would
be as dreary as II there were no Vir-
ginias. There would be no childlike
faith then, no poetry; no romance, to
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment except In
sense and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world would
be extinguished.

the fact that he is obtaining only first

Tommy Carter, who will furnish the
headliner for the Friday night card,
he believes that he has two Of the

His opinion is shared by the fans and
he is receiving encouragement daily

Just to show the class OF Wallace

fast little Milwaukee battler is re-

Denver Post Of July is is printed be-
low for the benefit OF the fans. Otto
has fought all over the south and
middle west and there is little doubt
but that he has more than delivered
the goods in each appearance. The
record OF prowess established by the
diminutive scrapper has become wide
spread and now in order TO obtain his
signature to a contract for a bout, il
is necessary TO make overtures sew

Won From the ssRube.-
In getting y hits off the delivery
Of Johnny Mulcahy, the star south
paw Of the Zone team, the Terriers
also accomplished 4 feat heretofore
unknown and certainly Increased
their professional standing with the
fans. Many of the safe knocks were
OF the two base variety, but il must
be taken into consideration that seY-
eral blows were counted as hits be-
cause Of the slowness Of fielding and,
II errors Of omission could be scored
on the books, there would not have
been quite as many safeties as will

victory, however.
