SANTA DRAFTS THE EXPRESSMAN.
the postmal. the delivery man and
whole lot Of other folks into his serv-
Ice
For example. he appoints as depu.
ties at least half million extra ex-
pressmpn 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
Of the imnensity Of the burdens the
old gentleman imposes on them few
figures are necessary. The Christmas
packages delivered by the express
companies In the city Of New York
nlone amount to over two millions, In
Chicago and Philadelphia about mil;
lion and q half each. In Boston over d
million and In other cities proper
tionate number. When 1t is reelected
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 1t Is estimated
that few r. any Of these Christmas
bundles are worth less than 81. while
some Of them are valued ut hundreds
Of dollars. 1t IL 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
t.n messenger boys. In the four cities
above mentioned these amount to near
~ a half million In number. The jo-
vial old saint could scarcely get along
without their help.
In addition. 1t Is necessary for Santa
Claus to enlist the services of an army
OF extra store clerks. delivery wagons
and teamsters. 1t can readily be seen
that for couple Of weeks he is about
the biggest business man on earth. Ii
his army were one of war rather than
Is.ace he could conquer the world.

Christmas eve came. and Sill there
WAS no goose Raby heb was puzzled:
the others were gloomy Still Baby
Deb w.u!d NOT give up. II would he

that. for she had asked. She would
make her last trial. She had hope
yet. but as the others knew nothing
o! her plans they had absolutely n"
hope TO them il was certain that
there could be no Christmas goose at
their house that year
Seven O'Clock came. and Baby Deb
crept softly from the room and down
stairs. She opened the great door just
a little bit and slipped out into the
darkness really did slip. for II was
very icy on the rocks. and she sat
down very hard However. she was
very chubby and did not mind 1t. She
rawlpd cautiously around to the big
rock. the keen wind nipping her round
cheeks and l'elting her with the frozen
drops OF spray. She knelt down.
"Oh. please. dood Lord. send US
doose. We wants doose awful
Won't you. please. dood Lord?"
Thud fell something right alongside
Of her.
"Oh. what's datT' she exclaimed.
putting her hand out. why. It's
doose" she cried. with a scream of de-
light. as her hand came In contact with
a soft. warm. feuthery body.
She forgot to give "thank you" for
the goose, but she was thankful though
not 40 very much surprised. She really
had expected it.
It wins a heavy load for Baby Deb.
but she was excited and did not no.

lighthouse. and. step by step. patter,

breathless into the sitting room. cry

For, you see. these parents were
very simple hearted folk. and 1t SEEM
ed to them very affecting that the
children should make such sacrifices
to procure Ihe goose for Christmas.
"And what does Baby Deb contrib
ute" asked Papa Stoughton by way
of Il joke.
~ des ls not dot muffin" was Baby
Dpb'S reply when the matter was ex-
pla.nrd to her "'cept 90 tate Stulpln.

instead Of little bundle Of rags
Papa Sioughton and Tom were to
go out to the mainland the first clear
day to buy the goose: but. alas. storm
came on. and they were forced to wait
for II to 20 down. II did no, 70 down.
IT grew worse and worse. The wind
shrieked and mOaned and wrestled
with the lonely tower. and the waves
hurled themselves at 1t and washed
over and over the island. and no boat
could have lived at all In such weather

then!
Yes. they had good reason to feel
dismal ut the lighthouse 1t was no
wonder II five noses were fifty times
day hattenpd despairingiy against
the lighthouse windows. Yes; six
noses. for even Baby Deb was finally
affected and. though she did not know
the least thing about the weather. she.
TOO would press her little nose against
the glass IN II most alarming way. as
II she thought that pressure was the
only effective thing
II took some time for Baby Deb to
realize the Importance Of having
goose for Christ mas. but when she had
rrasped the idea she became an enthu-
siast on the subject. She explained
the matter to her dolls and was par
ticularly explicit with Srnlpin. with
whom, indeed, she held very elaborate
and almost painful conversations.
One thing became very certain.
There was very little prospect OF clean
weather within Il week. and 1t lacked
ONLY three days of Christmas. The
Others gloomily gave up hope. bur NOT
so did Baby Deb, The truth was she
had plan. and you know when one
has n plan one has hope too
Mamma Stoughton had only recently
been having series Of talks with
Baby Deb on the important question
of PRAYER and 1t had occurred to Baby
Deb that the goose was good sub
iect for prayer 1t was very clear

CHRISTMAS tnen
nobody can. Why. Baby Deb alone is
material enough Of which to make
Christmas. and very rollicking. jolly
sort Of Christmas. too. but when to
her you add Tom and Sue and Ann
and Ike and Sam-well. the grim old
lighthouse fairly overnows with Christ
mas every 18th of December.
If 1t Is a lonely. old. one eyed light
house. has 1t not chimney? And do
not children there have stockings
good. long stockings? Indeed. they
have. And does not Christmas eve
see them all temptingly hung. so in
vitingly limp and empty. under the
mantelshelf7 And does not Christmas
morning-very early. mind you-see six
graduated. white robpd ghosts per-
forming mysterious ceremonies around
six bulging stockings?
All. then. II you suppose that that
cunning old gentleman Santa Claus
does not know how to find chimney.
even when the cold waves are pelting
It with frozen spray drops ten miles
from land. you little know what re.
markable gift he has that way.
And the Christmas dinners they have
there the goose. the brown. crisp.
juicy. melting roast goose. What
would that dinner be without that
goose? What, indeed!
But onre-they turn pale at that
lighthouse now when they think Of tt
they came very near having no goose
for dinner on Christmas day.
II came about in this way. Papa -ah.
II you could only hear BABY Deb tell
about It. II would be worth the jour
nev. hut you cannot. 0f course. so
never mind Papa Stouehton. the light
house keeper. you know had lost al
his money in a savings hank that had
failed early In that December
A goose IL really not very expen-
sivp fowl. hnt n one has not the
money OF course one cannot buy even
a cheap thing. Papa Stoughton could
not afford n goose, He said so-said
so before all the family.
Ike says that the silence that FEY
upon that family then was painful TO
hear. They looked at one anot her With
ewes go wide that It's mercy they
could ever shut them again.
"No goose" at last cried Tom. who
was the oldest.
mo goose" cried the others In
chorus. all except Baby Deb. who was
busy at the time gently admonishing
Sculpin. her most troublesome child,
for being so dirty. Baby Deb said
No doose" after all the Others were
quiet.
That made them all laugh. No doubt
they thought that, after all. SO long as
Baby Deb was there 1t wonld be
Christmas anyhow goose or no goose.
So they were happy for II moment until
the thought came thar roast goose WAS
good on Christmas even with BchJ
Deb and then they looked disnayed
again.
