Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Cl.ius. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know thai they abound and give 10 your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be ihe world if there were no Santa Claus ! Ii would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this ex istence. We should have no en joyment except in sense and sight. The eternal lighi with which child hood tills the world would be ex tinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus ! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa 10 hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas live lo catch Santa Claus; bin even if they did not see Santa Claus, that is no sign that 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 nm; hut that's no proof thai they are nm there. Nobody can con ceive or imagine all the wonders thai are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there's a veil cov ering the unseen which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men (hat ever lived could tear awn. Only faiih, fancy, poetry, love, ro mance, can push aside that cur tain and view and picture the su pernal beauiy and glory beyond. Il is all real ! Ah, Virginia, in all this worjd there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Vir ginia, nay ten limes ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the hean of childhood. PRICE LIST BELL 2 IN 1 TY RS 600 W.

"Oh, aunty," appealingly ex claimed innocent little Bessie, "picas: kiss m:, too!" Some situation, but aunty was quite equal to ii. Before the pas sengers could break inio a tickled tiner she was calmly addressing the child. "Ii is incorrect to say 'Kiss me too,' Bessie dear," said she. "You should say 'Kiss me twice.'

The kiss good-bye when the boys entrain, And the lips meet now thai may never again We will hold them up 10 the window-sill Thai their eyes may meet in that loved glance still, Thai their arms may clasp and their bosoms heave, For the hour has come thai ihe lad must leave : Good-bye, good-bye 10 a soldier, And blessings upon them, and love For the lips that meet in thai kiss so sweet While he bends from the window above ! The kiss good-bye when the wife stands there All that it means is a burden to bear, A shadow upon her through all the days That the dark war dips in the battlerays; And alone in her sorrow and grief and care For the joy her lad come back she prays : Good-bye, good-bye to a soldier, And we'll hold her up to the train That their lips may meet in that kiss so sweet For ihey never may kiss again !

In View o( the Hrevity of l.ile None of Us Have Any Time to Waste on Non-lissentinl After this war is over, this nameless curse of the ages When a man is lashed with a whip thai cuts and stings: After the Hun has soiled wiih blood all of history's pages, Will the soul of man not turn to holier things? Or, will the curse of the war degrade the hearts and homes of men And take us back for a thousand years to the age of sin? Will men be braver, because of the year's slow turning They have spent, where the sound of the busy guns kept pace; Or, will ihey return with ghostly fears and yearning, With the pallor of death still fresh upon their face? Will they come back from the fields where the demon laughter Of dying souls, has filled the air with dread: Their hearts all seared with hate, for the long years after, Wishing their fate had been the faie of the dead? Methinks when the shot-scared remnants return 10 their homes again; rsaCK 10 me waning uuauiiio, iv .w ...ai-aiaiiicu eyes, That a song will thrill in the pulsing of the hearts long used to pain; That a prayer will rise in the voice from earth to the skies: Methinks Geihseme's suffering, through which these left have irod, Will iurn each soul of the warrior to the holier paih of God. We never rc.ihe the truihlul-; ness of this text till it is too laic. Time in her fliglil is so swift and noiseless and wc ate so buy get- 1 ling ready to live, that wc do nm ' note her passage until we see the middle mile-post of life's pilgrim ! age, it seems but yesterday that ! we were c ildrcn playing around hearthstone, listening 10 mother as she hummed some old time tune which we have never forgot ten. We could hardly believe that we are this far on the journey if the calendar and mirror did not establish the fact. Fven those who survive to be what is termed "old age" do not live long, and the most of their time is spent in get ting ready for living, bui juM when ! they are ready 10 take life a little easy, they ar; old and the next station is de 'th, and the roof that sheltered them and the trees that gave shade 10 their tired forms will serve other weary travelers. In view of the brevity of life none of us have any time to waste on non-essentials, none to harbor some old grudge or wound thai we may have received by the way, no time to throw away in looking at the ugly things and listening to the discords of the world. There are too many worth-while things in which we may engage for us 10 spend our lime on the useless tri fles and counterfeits of this world. Our good intentions must be car ried out today tomorrow may never come. The boys and girls, and the young men and women, who expect to fill positions of hon or and responsibility 10-morrow must lose no time in getting ready for soon the preparation period will be gone. They must use ev ery minute "Old Time is still a flying, and that same (lower that blooms today, tomorrow may be dying." And while we consider this se rious subject, we must not forget the most important lesson of all thai when the time ends, eternity begins. The Bible tells us that when the rich fool thought he was ready to live for many years, time with him ended, and he wen: out into eternity, leaving his barns and farms behind and entering the oth er world a pauper. Every marble shaft that marks the resting place of the body of a departed friend and fellow citizen, is God's reminder that soon we shall lie by his side in the city of the dead, where tongues are si lent, eyes are sightless, and the frail dust returns to Mother earth. Knowing that to such an end we must all come sooner or later, is it not the part of wisdom to be ready so that our last breath will not be spent in wailing out the soul's bit ter lamentation, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we j are not saved." Well did one of old say, "There is but a step be tween me and death." If tomor row or this week is 10 be our last on earth, what would we change? If there is anything we would change, and can change, it is the part of wisdom to change it at once, for the time is short." Is there some one you would forgive if this were to be your last week on earth? Then you had better for give him now. Would you go to church next Sunday and worship God in his sanctuary? It is pos sible that this will be your last week on earth, then had you better not seek the smiling face of your Lord in the forgiveness of your sins ? WENT TO HIS HEAD.
