OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Unique Advertising Devlces-The BouIe-

ward Law sustained-Street Rail-
road Mail Cars.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1j.-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 bcwiTdered by
the alluring shows In the big windows
of every shop, and the tradesman who
holds the throng for few minutes in
front of his place is sure to make
money by 1T. This week one merchant
got an idea that set his competitors at
their wits end to compete with him.
He had an enormous show window, in
full view of the street, filed 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,
winding them up and letting them run
out; shot at targets with guns and
bows and lay down and looked at
gorgeous picture-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
the mails are crowded with Christmas
presents, and the carriers worn out
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 thing, and the
Postmaster has no models to help
him. He started the system on line
of electric cars, running twenty miles
east and west, and found that it saved
score of carriers and several hours
in city deliveries. He 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-
priations
The courts have just sustained the
boulevard law of the city, and the
effect is already seen in great in
crease of the number of permits taken
out by builders for costly dwellings on
the broad avenues which the law was
designed to protect from the intrusion
of business No shop or structure in
intended for any commercial purpose
whatever can be built on the boule-
wards. They are reserved entirely for
residences, churches and club-houses.
The tracks of the street railways
which have the right to run along the
boulevards pass along the center, and
on each side, guarded from the tracks
by curb, is driveway and side
walk. Most of the boulevards have
besides, a double row of trees planted
along the middle. Vehicles and foot
passengers are protected additionally,
by the elevation of the car-tracks, the
whole railway roadbed being raised
about two feet from the level of the
