Santa Claut Will Live
Forever
A little 8-year-old girl in New
York, named Virginia, asked the edi
tor of that great newspaper, the
New York Sun, "Is there a Santa
Claus?*’ The editor’s reply was:
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and you know that they
abound and give you life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary
would be the world if there were no
Santa Claus. It would be as dreary
s if there were no Virginias. There
would be no child-like faith then, no
poetry; no romance. 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?
You might as well not believe in
fairies. You might get your papa
to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Kve 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 there is no 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
are not there. Nobody can conceive
or imagine all the wonders that are
unseen or unseeable in the world.
“You may tear apart the baby’s
rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is a veil covering
the unseen world which not the
strongest man nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men
who ever lived could ever tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, ro
mance, can push aside that curtain
and view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond. Is it all
real? And Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
“No Santa Claus? Thank God; he
lives forever. A thousand years from
now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will
continue to make glad the hearts of
children.”

happy family circle will be reunited
in Heaven, where there will only be
peace and love, no heart aches and
suffering. To know Mrs. Sailors
was to love her. She had a friendly
word and a sweet smile for every
one. She leaves to mourn her pass
ing her husband, five sons, and two
daughters, and a number of grand
children, and 1 scores of friends.
She was laid to rest at Academy, be

cording to Mr. Marshall, are:

QUICK ANSWER CUTS TWO
MONTHS OFF JAIL TERM
Waycross, Ga.—Judge William H.
Barrett’s sense of humor saved
George Washington Saunders two
months in jail, when the case was
called at the heel of the docket in
the current session of United States
District Court.
Arrested in a liquor case just be
fore the current session of court
and arraigned before Judge Barrett,
Saunders was sentenced to serve
six months in jail.
Passing of the jail sentence was
a signal for Saunders to start an in
volved one-sided conversation, in
which he sought to appeal to the
judge’s sense of mercy.
“Well, what method would you
suggest for me to use in keeping
people from defrauding the govern
ment of its taxes on liquor, unless
I sentence them?” the judge asked.
“Well, judge, I been thinking
’bout that right smart lately, and I
decided the only way to keep folks
from goin’ back to makin’ liquor is
to cut their heads off.”
The whole court went into an up
roar, and Judge Barrett, his face
wreathed in smiles, evidently was
willing to reward a man for think
ing seriously on so important a sub
ject.
“You’ve talked me out of two
months,” he informed the prisoner.
“We’ll reduce that sentence to four
months in jail.”

Bronchial Coughs I
Need Creomula
Just a common cough, a chest cold,
or a bronchial irritation of today may
lead to serious trouble tomorrow. They
may be relieved now with Creomulsion,
an emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medicinal
combination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mucous
membranes by allaying irritation and
inflammation and by aiding in loosen
rng and expelling germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for gen
erations recognized the beneficial effect
of Beechwood Creosote in the treat
ment of coughs, chest colds, and bron
chial irritations. A special process was
worked out by a chemist, for blending
Creosote with other ingredients so that
