whole lot Of other folks into his serv-
ice
For example. he appoints as depu-
ties at least half million extra ex-
pressmen in the United States alone.
Ordinarily the express companies have
about that number of employees, but
during the two weeks before Christ
mas. when Santa calls on them to car
ry so many of his packages. they have
to double their forces. To gain an idea
old gentleman imposes on them few
figures are necessary. The Christmas
packages delivered by the express
companies in the city Of New York
alone amount to over two millions, in
Chicago and Philadelphia about a mil
lion and half each, in Boston over
million and in other cities a proper
tionate number. When it is reflected
that this is an average Of nearly one
package for every man. woman and
child and that there are something
over eighty millions Of men, women
and children in Uncle Sans domain,
the stupendous proportions Of this
Christmas business can be realized.
On account of the expense Of sending
packages by express it is estimated
that few If any Of these Christmas
bundles are worth less than So. while
some of them are valued at hundreds
of dollars. 1t is thus seen that the
Christmas business handled by the ex-
press companies alone represents a
value of hundreds Of millions.
This Goes not take into account the
great number Of bundles carried by
the messenger boys. In the four cities
above mentioned these amount to near
ly a half million in number. The jo-
vial old saint could scarcely get along
without their help.
In addition. it is necessary for Santa
Claus to enlist the services of an army
OF extra store clerks. delivery wagons

but it will probably be worn by the
majority. 1t is a less artistic angle
than the one formed by flaring brim
ut the side or the left front 1t should
be softened by the thick end of a
plume. When barbaric ornament is
used in the center of it the emphasis
is bad. Yet nothing the critics will
say will deter women from wearing it,.
In connection with it there has been
invented an exceedingly pretty meth

Santa Claus
By JAMES A. EDGERTON.

ciatiOn.I

" HE usual conception of Santa
Claus Is that Of rather inno-
cent. unsophisticated. though
benevolent old gentleman who
visits all the houses In Christendon
the night of Dec. "a and leaves pres
ents for all good children and even re-
members some who are not so good
But this idea fails to do the busy old
saint full justice. AS a matter OF fact,
he has to be quite up to date to attend
his numerous customers. He is so
much man Of affairs that 1t is neces-
sary for him to adopt modern meth
DDS. Nowadays it is essential for
every large business to be carried out
through an army Of assistants and
deputies and who. pray, has a larger
business than Santa Claus? When he
first started In the Christmas line it
might have been possible for him to
make a personal visit to all the homes
where his gifts were expected. but
now all that is changed. So ne drafts

Fashions In Fur.

Many of the seasons characteristic
points are noted In the newest OF the
fur garments. The low front closing.
with long. tapering shawl collar, is a
feature of the new coats. and it is
much seen carried out in Il contrasting
fur. One side usually crosses over the
other the fastening being made under
three or more eXquisitely wrought
buttons. which add a considerable sum
to the price asked. Seal coats are
much seen with long shawl collars
and wide cuffs of sable, lynx. skunk
or opossum.
able. chinchilla and ermine are the
furs which combine modishness and
costlneSS in the most pronounced de-
gree. and as Il result they are the furs
most coveted by all women and most
worn by those who can afford to buy
them. But the finer kinds of Persian
lamb. brondtaiI AND baby lamb are per-
hapS more extensively worn by fash
tonahle women than are any other flrs.

G GOOD old fashioned Christmas
IA with the logs upon the
AZ IA hearth,
The table filled with feasters an the
room a-roar with mirth,
With the stockin's crammed to bust
in an the medders piled with
snow
A good old fashioned Christmas like
we had so long ago!
Now that's the thing I'd like to see
ag'in afore I die,
But Christmas in the city here-it's
different, oh, my!
With the crowded hustle-bustle of
the slushy, noisy street
An the scowl upon the faces Of the
strangers that you meet.
Oh, there's buyin', plenty Of it, of a
lot of gorgeous toys.
An it takes a mint of money to
please modern girls an boys.
Why, I mind the time jackknife
an toffy lump for me
Made my little heart an stockin'
just chock full of Christmas glee.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1909-12-23

An there's feastin'. Think O. feedin'
with these stuck up city folk!
Why, you have to speak in whispers,
an you dar'sn't crack a joke.
Then remember how the tables look
ed all crowded with your kin,
When you couldn't hear a whistle
blow across the merry din.
You see, I'm so old fashioned-like I
don't care much for style,
An to eat your Christmas banquets
here I wouldn't 60 mile.
I'd rather have, like Solomon, a
good yarb dinner set
With real old friends than turtle
soup with all the nobs you'd get
There's my next door neighbor, Cur
ley-fancy how his brows 'u'd
lift
If I'd boiler: "Merry Christmas!
Caught, old fellow! Christmas
gift"
Lordy sakes, I'd like to try it.!
Guess he'd nearly have fit.
Hang this city stiffness, anyways!
I can't get used to it.

Then your heart it keeps a-swellin'
till it nearly busts your side,
An by night your jaws are achin'
with your smile four inches
wide,
An your enemy, the worst one,
you'd just grab his hand n'say:
"Mebbe both of us was wrong, John.
Come, let's shake. It's Christmas
day"
Mighty little Christmas spirit seems
to dwell tween city walls,
Where each snowflake brings SCOT
flake for brother as it falls
Mighty little Christmas spirit, an
I'm pinin', don't you know,
For a good old fashioned Christmas
like we had so long ago.
