Christmas Packages by Mail.
Pittsburg ChronicleD


A public benefactor makes his appear
ance annually at Boston at this time OF
the wear. and as soon as Christmas Is over
ne disappears from view. No one knows
his name, but his good deeds are mem
toned in the newspapers every year
There Is no doubt that he has prevented a
great deal OF disappointment, and that
through his kindness many Christmas
presents reach their destination promptly
which otherwise would be delayed.
Persons who mail Christmas packages
are not always careful TO see that they
are fully prepaid. such packages are TO-
turned TO the sender II his name appears
on the PACKAGE IL not. they go to the
dead letter Office. In either case shey
are delayed. This Boston man To whom
reference is made has made II practice
for several years TO deposit sum OF
money with the Boston postmaster to
pay the short postage on Christmas pack
ages Last year he spent so In making
up this deficiency. which shows that g
great deal OF carelessness prevails among
Christmas-present senders.
There is no postal Santa Clans at the
Pittsburg post-offiee. and the regulations
regarding packages insutficsenuy prepaid
must be obeyed TO thu letter. The mat
ter IS referred TO here for the purpose
OF warning mailers OF Christmas pack
ages what will become OF them II they
are not postpaid In full. Three rules
should be observed by those who send
paekazes by mail: Wrap them well
write the name and address OF the sende'
IN one corner: have them weighed at th'
post-office. and see that stamps repre-
senting the full amount OF postage are
placed thereon.

Lands In Central wisconsin

Are now as desirable as any in the
market. The lands particularly in
the central and northern part of Wis
consin, are being rapidly taken up by
actual settlers.
The most salable are the timber
and meadow lands now ranging in
price from $500 to $1,000 per acre.
A few months hence their value will
be greatly increased.
For home or for investment no
luckier chance in the West has ever
before been offered. Now is the
time to invest. No better farming
land exists anywhere. No greater
results can be obtained anywhere.

Trajan's Column.

Trajan's column is an interesting
relic of ancient Rome, and the most
beautiful historical column in the
world, 1t was dedicated to EN-
peror Trajan, as the inscription
says, by the senate and Roman peo-
pie, A. d. ia. On the summit
formerly stood lofty statue Of Ira
jan holding in his hand a gilded
globe. This globe is now in the
museum of the capitol. Towards
the end of the sixteenth century
Pope Sextus " erected statue Of
ST. Peter upon the column in place
of that of Trajan, which had fallen
to the ground. The ashes Of the
emperor rest under this column.
