Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1909-12-16

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 a half each, in Boston over Il
million and in other cities a proper
Tomato number. When IL 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 IL is estimated
that few If any of these Christmas
bundles are worth less than 50. 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 half million in number. The 10
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
and teamsters. 1t can readily be seen
that for a couple of weeks he is about
the biggest business man on earth. II

peace he could conquer the world.

FEN NE usual conception Of Santa
Claus is that Of a rather ipno-
Il cent unsophisticated, though
benevolent old gentleman who
visits all the houses in ChristendoTo
the night Of Dec p 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 matter of fact
ne has to be quite up to date to attend
MS numerous customers. He is so
much man Of affairs that it is neces-
bary for him to adopt modern meth
odS. 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 il
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 he drafts
the expressman, the messenger boy.

the postman. the delivery man and a
whole lot Of other folks into his serv-
ice
For example, he appoints as depu-
ties at least half a million extra ex-
pressmcn 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
~ so many Of his packages, they have
to double their forces. To gain an idea
of the immensely Of the burdens the
old gentleman imposes on them a few
figures are necessary. The Christmas

The Mystery of

prier. .ile chier sensation 1 received from that face in the dim half light In which I saw 1t. did not know 1t, or at least did not recognize it.
 Now for quick action. It was in- deed time for that, for as Twas about to place my legs through the window the man had seen me, had bounded to his feet, had sprung, as I foresaw he would, to the door of the antechamber, had time to open 1t and fled. But was already behind him, revolver in hand. shouting, 'Helpv

I flew on wings and in the gal lery was but few feet behind him. He had taken. us 1 supposed he would, the gallery on his rlght-that Is to say, the road he had prepared for his flight. 'Help. Jacques; help, Larsan! l cried. He could not escape us. l raised shout of joy. of savage victory. The man reached the intersection of the two galleries hardly two seconds be- fore me for the meeting which had prepared, the fatal shock which must | inevitably take place at that spot. We all rushed to the crossing place-M. Stangerson and coming from one end of the right gallery. Daddy Jacques coming from the other end of the gal lery and Frederic Larsan coming from the of turning gallery. "The man was not there!
 "We looked at each other stupidly and with eyes terrified. The man had vanished like a ghost Where is he. where is hey we all asked.
 "It is impossible he can have es- capedr cried. my terror mastered by my anger.
 "T touched himr exclaimed Frederic Larsan
 "T felt his breath on my facer cried Daddy Jacques.
 "'where is he. where is heT we all cried.
 "We raced like madmen along the ] two galleries. We visited doors and windows They were closed--hermetic- ally closed. They had not been opened Besides. the opening of door or win dow by this man whom we were hunt ing without our having perceived ! would have been more inexplicabi' than his disappearance.

Notn ing, nothing! We woul. have lookes into fowcrpot if there had been on to look into."
 When this mystery. thanks to Roule tabille. was naturally explained by tn help alone of his masterful mind VI were able to realize that the murdere had got away neither by door, wir dow nor the stairs, fact which tn judges would not admit. (To be continaea.)

If your Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are weak, try at least, few doses only of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. In five or ten days only the result will sur prise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn't drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has it's own controlling nerve. When this nerve fails the de pending organs must of necessity fal- ter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop's Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by Palace Pharmacy

Having indicated to Daddy Jacques the post he was to occupy and having seen him take up his position, placed NJ. Stangerson on the landing at the head of the stairs not far from the door of his daughters anteroom. Ev- erything led me to suppose that when I surprised the murderer in the room he would run by way of the ante room rather than the boudoir. where the women were, and of which the door must have been locked by Mile. Stangerson herself If. as thought, she had taken refuge in the boudoir for the purpose of avoiding the mur- derer who was coming to see her. In any case he must return to the gal lery where my people were awaiting him at every possible issue.
 "On coming there he would see on his left Nj. Stangerson He would turn to the right. toward the of turning gallery, the way he had prearranged l for flight, where at the intersection of | the two galleries he would see at once as have explained. on his left Frederic Larsan at the end of the on turning gallery and in front Daddy | Jacques at the end of the right gal | lery. M. Stangerson and myself would arrive by way of the back of the cha | teau. He is ours! He can no longer escape us, I was sure of that.
 .The plan had formed seemed to me the best. the surest and the most simple. It would. no doubt. have been simpler still if we had been able to place some one directly behind the door of mademoiselle's boudoir, which open ed out of her bedchamber, and in that way had been in a position to besiege the two doors of the room in which the man was. But we could not penetrate the boudoir except by way of the draw ing room. the door of which had been locked on the inside by Mile. Stanger'
 son. But even if had had the free disposition of the boudoir I should have held to the plan I had formed
 because any other plan of attack would have separated us at the moment oi the struggle with the man, while my plan united us all for the attack at . spot which had selected with almost mathematical precision. the intersec ton of the two galleries.
