Don't Delay Christmas Mail.
m Tho Now York Herald

Why is 1t that everybody puts off depos-
iting their Christmas mail until the last
moment and fairly swamps the post Offices
of the country on the even Of that day?
Don't all speak at once. Hundreds of thou
sands Of letters and packages, containing
good wishes or presents that must be de-
livered on Christmas eve or Christmas
morning, II they are not to lose half their
value, are dropped IN the mail boxes be-
tween noon and nightfall OF the day before
the great anniversary. And the givers Inn
agine that they have done their full duty
ii they get their letter or Gift into the mail
few hours before its delivery is desired.
Now, don't Dlame the post Office II your
missive arrives "the day after the fair"
as 1t were. The post office Is a great insti-
tuition, but 1t can't perform miracles on
Christmas eve.

Snow Is gloomy, I must confess:
Sort o. chilly an wet, unless
The weathers so cold that it freezes tight
An plays the deuce in single night
An yet somehow it's the snow outside
That Iightens the glow In the fireplace wide.
It's right disagreeable. 1 know,
But it wouldn't seem Christmas without
some snow.
An sadness, that comes In general way,
1t hits us hard an 1t brings dismay.
Yet life seems brighter when sorrows past,
Because of the shadow that it cast
Jes' like the house seems lots more warm
After you've braved the sleet an storm.

than 20 per cent net on the money In
vested. He never has to look for ten
ants and he has no trouble in collect
ing his rents. A prosperous saloon
keeper has the ground floor, and, Of
course, his rent is guaranteed.
The floors above are rented for sweat
shops. One man hires floor and SUBJ
let's each window to a man to work. by.
II at any time he shows signs Of rum
ming behind with his rent dozen win
dow tenants are eager to take the con-
tract in his place.
The windows rent for S. each. This
gives the man who hires the whole
door his window free, or sometimes a
little more than that. The windows in
this particular building are especially
sought after, because there Is freight
elevator, by which the heavy cloth gar
ments can be hoisted and let down
from the various stories. 1t runs by
