SANTA CLAUS'S MAIL
Continued from page 8

Santa Claus will bring a toy automobile,
rifle, French doll dressed in pink satin, or a
little pony all spotted like circus horse.
Human nature Is again evidenced in these
epistles which show the trail of the green eyed
monster when Santa Claus is gently reminded
that last year he brought the girl next door
lovely doll, carriage, an iron enameled bed
stead, and desk, while he brought the sender
only doll when she too had asked for all
those things which he brought her lucky
neighbor And some of the boys do not
mind telling Santa Claus that last year he
brought them books instead of skates, when
he was plainly asked for skates.
Some of the addresses written or lettered
on the envelops, which range from tiny
sweet scented ones to those made from cheap
brown paper pasted with flour or held to-
gether with pin. are indicative of the magma
Santa Claus The North Pole; to Santa
Claus, care of Mr.. Peary-on- wav-to- Pole
to Chris Kringle, Ice Palace, Fair land
Santa Claus's Toy Store, Iceberg, Green
land" st. Nickerlas, Gate of Heaven {;
Mr.. Zanty Klondike Alaska; Mr. Santa
(where they have seen him in the window
"Mr. Christy Cringle. the Snow Cave, Iceland y
ETC. etc
On many of these letters the addresses are
very legible, full postage is paid, and the name
and address of the sender is written in the left
to the sender. Others are written in sign
language, and have drawn" stamps in the
corner where the stamp should be. Some of
these stamps have a scarecrow figure, under
which is written 2 cents inclosed in an OBJ
long border nicely pinked to represent a
stamp. Other writers have pasted on can
celed stamps of various denominations. OF
course. these little offenders against postal
regulations are never brought to the bar of
justice.

of women assistants When the mail is opened
it is divided into two lots,-those containing
the correct addresses of the senders, and those
which contain no information by which the
writer can be traced. The latter are~destroyed.
The mail which may be returned to its sender
often falls into the hands of the Santa Claus
of the home, and thus the childish wishes
have chance of being gratifed.
Though it is very busy time in the Dead
Letter Office when Santa Claus's mail comes in
and is read. it is also rainbow time, for
smiles and tears struggle for the control OF the
womanly faces that bend over sheaf upon
sheaf of letters from little children letters
that tell sad stories of sick widowed mother
with many small mouths to feed, with little
feet to be shod. and shivering forms which
lack clothes as we'll as fuel to keep them warm ,
letters that ask Santa Claus for nothing better
than to heal a crippled sister to get father
work, to bring new baby, or to take suffer-
ing little one to Heaven with him in his sleigh
that she will be we'll and happy. Oh, the
pity of it that many Of these cries which could
be answered through human aid must remain
unsatisfed, all because of the red tape which
takes the place of a heart in the Government
bodyi
But" says the Post Office Department
there is such person Santa Claus, and
the Government cannot deliver any mail SO
addressed to any other person
To which the just may well reply, {" 1t can
if it wishes There is no such person as
Uncle Sam either; yet mail is daily received in
Washington so addressed, and it is delivered
to some official to whom it may apply. Why.
therefore, not deliver this Santa Claus mail
to some person to whom the title may be ap-
plied?"
But it is not all sad mail that comes to
Santa Claus Some of it betrays the cunning
mind of childhood when it prompts the little
fingers to write of how good the sender has
been; how good he, or She, will be, if only

plane Bevns and Brockton in delight were
shaking hands and congratulatlng each other
They talked for a moment, and then the Rear
Admiral retired from view. Bevins turned
to the King and said
Your jesty, the Emperor of Germany
wishes to come aboard"
Before the King could give his assent the
solderly form of the Kaiser appeared outlined
step across the threshold. and stood before
the man of England. Whatever doubts he
may have had of his reception were set aside
by the hands outstretched to receive him and
the words of welcome which the King fastened
to give him. The bulky form of the Chancellor
came behind, and then, conducted by the King,
they turned and entered the cabin. Brockton
and Bevins brought up the rear. At one end
of the table stood the American Secretary of
State, and beside him were the Prime Minister
of England and the Lord of the Admiralty.
The Chancellor ponderously edged his way
forward until he was near them, leaving the
King and his imperial nephew on the opposite
side of the table.
The visitors greeted and were presented to
the others, and then, for the fraction OF
minute, they all stood confronting and ex-
pectant, until the King with his usual tact
put an abrupt end to the restraint by inviting
all to be seated, and asking for an explanation
of the accident The Kaiser curbed his anxiety
for news of developments, and briefly recounted
his adventure, appealing now and then to
stand. He concluded, and hesitated for an
instant in embarrassed silence Before he
could formulate the opening question in
delicate subject the King had again stepped
into the breach
THE world will soon be at peace" he said
meaningly, looking at his kinsman. We
have come from meeting in America with
the man who has so decreed it, and | have
had the honor of joining with him in plans
for the future
And Germany"
Will be glad"
But her allotment"
THE privilege of being one of the foremost
in the movement.
With dignity and honor?'
Yes, and with opportunity to play her
part voluntarily"
Englands King. grave and gray, and read
ing men from the serene heights of long life
and philosophy, had expected tempestuous
outburst; but to his contentment none came.
He studied the face of the ruler who had gained
world wide reputation for warlike ambitions
and constant truculence whose mailed fist
had long been clenched in readiness for a
blow, and surprised. No sign of storm
was apparent, but instead calm and placid
pair of eyes stared back at him.
In rapid sentences he told of the Presidents
design, which Great Britain would accept and
which she had helped outline in detail, and
closed by predicting the results which would
follow He talked low and earnestly, leaning
his elbows on the table before him and ad
dressing himself only to the Emperor. His
summary concluded. be Strengthened back
into the hollow of his chair and waited for the
other to speak.
The Chancellor, who had been so intent
that he had never changed attitude or ex-
preston, shifted his gaze from the King to
his sovereign who for time sat wrapped in

thought As If he had come to a quick con-
clusion, he looked UP and in three words ex
pressed his views.
:" 1t seems perfect he said.
The Chancellor smiled, the King looked sat
istied, and the Prime Minister with sigh OF
relief gave a quick sidelong glance at the
American Secretary of State. The Lord OF
the Admiralty was rubbing his hands.
Germany asks nothing more than fair
ness" the Emperor said, and think she
will gladly accept and enter into the Conclave.
1t will upset her more than any other nation,
perhaps, because she is founded on military
form; but the whole world shall understand
that she permits no nation, race, or people to
go beyond her in enlightened methods Ills
stern expression changed to one of warmth.
He smiled at some thought and continued:

and by the campfires at night have been
given other views of life, of men and humanity,

He nodded his head toward Brockton,
paused for a moment and then laughed aloud

pounds, and shot four caribou, he chuck!ed.
At this incongruous termination OF his

vein, interpreted with comments OF graver
trend. And in this recountal of adventure
they read of his broadening. By suggestion
he conveyed to them that he had gone away
strange journey, engrossed IN the cares
and dignities of position, to be taught many
lessons in democracy.
He had worked with his hands, shared the
annoyances of his companions, and known
the joys of independence and self support He
had discovered the trappingS of courts to be
shallow and tawdry emblems when con-
trasted with the true coats of primitive nature.
He had learned that men when stripped OF
outward rank and position were very similar,
and could demand only such respect from
their fellows as they were entitled to by merit.
Honest companionship which sought no other
return was a priceless treasure. And now
with this new view of life, stronger in health
and unjaundiced in mind, he glad to ally
himself and his Empire in movement which
promised advancement without conquest and
sounded very hollow and their unmusical

In response to an order from Bevins, a
servant with noiseless feet and deft hands

Before we part company and resume our

their rays, and then in voice of extreme rev.
