A cold Is probably the most com*
/non of all disorders and when neglect-
ed la apt to be most dangerous. Sta-
tistics show that more than three
i times as many people died from in-
fluenza last year, as were killed in
the greatest war the world has ever
known. For the last fifty-three years
Bosohee’s Syrup has been used for
coughs, bronchitis, colds, throat Ir-
ritation and especially lung troubles.
It gives the patient a good night’s
rest, free from coughing, with easy
expectoration In the morning. Made
in America and used In the homes of
thousands of families all over the
civilized world. Sold everywhere.—Adv.
PERCY “CAME BACK” STRONG

Percy Pllmson looked Into the beau-
tliful eyes of his adored one. It seemed
as if his whole soul must melt In that
long embrace, ns though his heart, hls
feet, his whole being, hls etc., etc.,
must, etc., etc.
"Don’t you think Miss Podgey’s
hands are beautifully small?” he asked
his adored one at length.
A quick, hissing sound cut through
the nir. She spoke:
“Well, Mr. Pllmson, If you can talk
about another girl’s hands at such a
moment, I don’t believe you love me
any more! You brute—you coward !
Here I Take back your ring! Perhaps
she will accept it!”
Plhnson’s back was up.
"No, no, m.v dear girl.” he mur-
mured. "Keep It. She wouldn’t un-
derstand. She’d think It was a brace-
let !”
The wise woman rules her husband
by permitting him to think he’s "it.”

Is There a
Santa Claus?
Classic Answer of m New
York Journalist Affirming
a Little Girfs Belief
^“^^NE of the finest things ever
I I written about Christmas wns
^^^J**the editorial printed 20 years
ago by the New York Sun In
' answer to the earnest appeal of a little
New York girl to be told whether
Santa Claus really exists. Its author,
Frank P. Church, was an accomplished
Journalist and wrote much on many
subjects, but hla 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 la one of the great classics of the
Christmas season.
The answer to the eternal question
ns printed In the Sun follows:
"We take pleasure In answering at
once, and thus prominently, the com-
munication below, expressing at the
same time our great gratification that
Ita faithful author Is numbered among
the friends of the Sun:
" ‘Dear Editor—I am eight years old.
Some of my little frtenda auy there la
no Bants Claus. Papa aaya: If you
see it In the Bun It'a so. Plena* tell
me the truth, la there a Banta Chius?
"’VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
" *lii West Ninety-Aral Street.’
"Virginia, your ill lie friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
hie skepticism of a skeptical nge. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can he which Is not
comprehensible by their little minds.
All minds, Vlrgtnln. whether they he
men's or children’s, are little. In this
greut universe of ours man is n mere
Insect, an ant, In Ids Intellect, ns com-
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the Intelligence
capable of grasping the whole truth
%nd knowledge.
"Yes, Virginia, there Is a Nnntn
Claus. He exists ns certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound and give
to your life Its highest beauty and Joy.
Alus! How dreary would be the world
If there were no Santa Claus 1 It would
he as dreary as If there were no Vir-
ginias. There would be no childlike
faith then, no poetry, no romance, to
mnke 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.
"Not believe In Santa Claus t You
might as well not believe In fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch In all the chimneys on Christ-
inas eve to catch Santa Claus, hut even
If they did not see Santa Claus com-
ing down, what would that prove? No-
body sees Santa Claus, but that Is no
sign that there Is no Santa Claus. The
most rent things In the world nre 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 are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the won-
ders Hint arc unseen and utiseeuhle In
the world.
"You may tear apart the baby’s rnt-
tle and see whnt makes the noise In-
side, hut there Is u veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest
man, nor even the unlied strength of
all the strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, cun push aside
that curtain and view and pieture the
sui»ernal beauty and glory beyond. Is
It nil real? Ah, Virginia, lu uil this
world there Is uothlng else real and
abiding.
"No Snntn Claus!
Ilv4*s and be lives forever. A thousand
years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times
10,000 years frotp now, be will con-
tinue to make glad tbe heart of chlld-
bood.”
