They think that nothing can be which Is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man Is a mere Insect, an art. In his Intellect, as compared with the boundless world aboilC him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there Is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life Its highest beauty and Joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as If there were no Virginia. 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 light. The eternal light with which childhood fills 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 ehlmneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even If they did not see. Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that Is no sign that there ts no Santa Claus The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.

It there are some grand mothers in the Far West, but they are Imported from the East and South.

The Jhrlstmus senson is almost here and soon the New York Sun will be repiint'jg for the thirtieth consecutive time, annually, the reply of one of Its ditorlal writers to Virginia O'llanlon, the little girl who wanted to know If there was a Santa Claus. And It wont bo but a few weeks until the Kunsns City Star recves a request from some reader which says, "Wont you please be sure to reprint II. T. Webster s cartoon, 'llardln County 1809, In your paper on Lincolns birthday? and when the Star does reprint It, It will be the tenth consecutive tiro ?, annually, that It has done so. . Then a few weeks more and It will be nearly Memorial day. As that day approaches newspapers all over tlie state of Kansas (and no doubt In other states as well) will reprint Walt Mesons po. i, Little Green Tents." For all of these the cartoons, Injun Summer anl Hardin County, ISO!)," the lit (f prose called "Is There a Santa Claus? and .he poem, Little Green Tents are .Newspaper Classics," those Inspired pictorial or written pieces which their creators, newspaper men an of them, once turned - out, little dreaming that these creations of theirs would become famous. For them It was "ull In the days work. But, somehow, what they wrote or what they drew caught the public fancy, because of some great beauty, some great truth or some inherent human appeal in it, and the public carefully clipped It from the newspaper and laid It aside for future enjoyment. --Or- perhaps the public, as that anniversary came around again, remembered how they had enjoyed thnt picture or Mint bit of writing and Immediately wrote to the editor of the paper In which they bad seen It to ask, "Wont you plense print It again?" Injun Summer" first appeared In the Chicago Tribune In the autumn of 1907 and utmost Immediately McCutcbeon began to receive letters of appreciation. But It was not until the next year thnt the cartoon began Its- career as a .Newspaper Classic. When Indian summer came around that year, the Tribune began to receive letters from Its renders. I'lease reprint John McCuteheons Injun Summer. If was the same the next year and the next and the next, until--nothe annual reprinting of the cartoon has become a tradition op the Tribune and an event to be looked forward to by the renders of that newspaper as the herald thnt Indian summer Is again at hand. Websters Hardin County, 1809," first appeared In 1918. One of the newspapers which was then receiving the syndicate service which Included the work of this cartoonist, who Is now on the . staff of the New York World, was the Kansas City Star, and the next yenr, as Lincolns birthday approached, the Star began to receive requests thnt the cartoon be reprinted. So Hardin County, 1809, became a Newspaper Classic and February 12 of each year sees 'ts reappearance. The example of Is There a Santa Claus? as a Newspaper Classic" Is, if anything, more Inter estlng thnn that of the cartoons. Not only has it been : .whited In the Now York Sun every, year for the last 80 years, but It has been reprinted repeatedly In thousands of other newspapers throughout the United States during thnt time. Curious to note. Its first appearance was not during the holiday senson. Evidently little Virginia Ollanlon began to be concerned about Santa Claus long before Christmas thnt year, for it wn on September 21, 1897, thnt the reply to her letter, written by Francis P. Church, an editorial writer, first appeared tn the Sun. It is'doubtful if there Is any other single Christmas piece, with the possible exception of "The Night Before Christmas," which Is so widely known. Thanksgiving also has Its "Newspaper Classic," even though It Is not so well known ns those connected with Christmas. Bark in 1S90 Irving Bacheller, the distinguished novelist, was the head of a newspaper syndicate in New York and one of bis correspondents in ilie West was Will C. Ferrll, now editor of the Rocky Mountain Herald In Denver. In thnt year Mr, Bacheller asked Mr. Ferrll to write a western article for Thanksgiving and la compliance he wrote an article, 5ased on conditions in the Fnr West at that time, which he called No Grandmothers Toere.

It does all that castor oil might accomplish, v.ithout shock to the system. Without the evil taste. It's delicious ! Being purely vegetable, you can give It as often as thereis a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, natural sleep.
