In station X, in New York city. a
young clerk who was sorting sack
Of Christmas mail was amazed to see
a package in the sack move. He car
ried the sack TO the sorting table and
dumped out the contents. Something
suddenly exclaimed:
Papa! Papav
The frightened clerk examined every
package carefully. In In. one that
moved he found a live kitten packed
in small bird cage. The kitten had a
pink bow of ribbon at its neck, and
attacked to the ribbon was card bear
ing the inscriptions:
"a Merry Christmas from Uncle
Jack"
Further investigation brought forth
the fact that the cry "Papar' came
from a doll with blond curls that call
ed "Papap each time it was squeezed.
In moving the mail sack the postal
clerk had frightened the kitten in one
package and squeezed the mechanical
doll il the other package. He was
much relieved when he had unraveled
