ChrIstmas Church Decoration.

In decorating o church, do not wait
until the afternoon before Christmas,
and then get at the work in hand in a
haphazard fashion, trusting to happy
inspiration which generally fails to
come, when wanted, for satisfactory
results. Appoint a committee to see
to the work, and let it decide on some
scheme of decoration. When it has
made n decision, fall to with a will,
and help it work out its
plans, but never hamper or
annoy it by constant suggestions
of changes which you may think
would be improvements. In this, as
in other things, too many cooks spoil
the broth. If the committee possesses
ordinary taste, and thinks out definite
scheme before beginning operations,
the chances are that the church will
present far more pleasing appearance
than it would be likely to if all the
young people in the ighborhood came
together without plan ito work on,
and suggestions from everybody were
received and an attempt made to carry
them out

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
CnIque Advertising Devices-Ths BOule-

road Mall Cars.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-THE merchants
who have large holiday stocks of goods
to sell, pay handsomely for the ideas
their advertising agents give them.
The streets are crowded with people
ready to buy, and yet bewildered by
the alluring shows III the big windows
of every shop, and the tradesman who
holds the thrOug for few minutes in
front of his place is sure TO make
money bylt. This week one merchant
got an idea that set his competitors at
their wits end to compete with him.
lie had an enormous show window, in
full view of the street, filled with his
most attractive and expensive toys,
mechanical and otherwise, and put two
little boys in it. All day long the
Youngsters played with the figures.

ont; shot at targets with guns and
bows and lay down and looked ut
gorgeous pictured books. The street in
front was blockaded with people, and
inside the clerks were kept busy selling
the things with which the lads were
playing. The idea has spread over the
town, and boys who like to play with
toys can easily get places in every one
of the shops now.
Postmaster Harlow could have
chosen no better time than this, when
I the mails are crowded with Christmas
presents, and the carriers worn ont
with Overwork, for the extension OF
the street railway postal service he es-
tablished some time ago.
st. Louis is the only city in the coun-
try that has such a thing, and the
Postmaster has no models to help
him. lie started the system on lins
of electric cars, running twenty miles
east and west, and found that it saved
score of carriers and several hours
in city deliveries. lie has now decided
to improve the system by adding .
cross-town line to it, so that the peo-
] pie living in the north and south will
| get their mails quickly as well as
/ those in the west and east. The other
| electric lines will be added to the sys-
tenn as fast as the government can be
induced to make the necessary appro-

The courts have just sustained the

On each side, guarded from the tracks
by a curb, is driveway and "a side
