Children Have Different Beliefs
as to Abiding Place of
Kriss Kringle.
MANY LETTERS SENT HERE.
One Little Indian Addresses Com
munication in Care of the
Great White Father at
Washington.

If Santa Claus receives all the letters
which are being sent to him daily through
the st. Louis Post Office he will be a very
busy man. and will have hard time try
ing to comply with all the requests which
have been sent to him. a.
Hundreds Of letters are arriving every
day, and the man WHO has charge of the
Santa Claus department, the dead oil
NIKE" letter mail pouch. which is sent to
Washington, is working overtime.
Most of the letters to Santa Claus come
from st. Louis. but some are from Colo
RADIO, Kansas, New Mexico and the Indian
Territory. Why these letters are sent to
st. Louis is puzZling question. 1t may
be that the children of those far away
States have heard and seen pictures of
the Worlds Fair city and perhaps thinl,
1t the most likely place that Santa could
be found.
The North Pole seems to be, according to
the addresses. the most natural place of
abode that Santa Claus could choose to
live in. Many of them seem positive that
this Is his place of abode and come right
out and say SO without the alternative af-
forded by ten days return notice in the
upper left-hand corner.
walton In the Indian Territory sends a let
ter to Santa Claus in the care of the Great
White Father in Washington. 1t ,is sent
via st. Louis and addressed to President
Roosevelt. and has an extra stamp upon
1t to insure delivery.
WORKING FORCE INCREASED.
The working force of the Post Office has
been increased by fifty employees and 200
hours day of extra labor are required to
handle the additional Christmas mail.
The fourth-class matter shows the great
est increase. The number of packages has
increased Is per cent. They range in size
from those that would contain a spool of
thread or a ring to those that would con-
tain pair of trousers or an opera cloak
Under ordinary conditions the entire
weight of the packages which are re-
ceived daily is 5000 pounds. During the
Christmas rush 1t Increases to 20,0OO
pounds; The I'll number Of letters Increases
from 100000 to 100000
The small boys who handle the special
delivery letters are working overtime.
They formerly delivered about 700 letters
day, but during the last two days the
number has increased to 100 a day.
There are eight mail street cars in the
service. They are loaded to their capacity
twice day. The number of street-railway
clerks has been doubled

ever that Gamble has severed his con-
necuon with the office.
Although vigorous search has been
