snap. A loaf Of bread in the cupboard
and that was all. Last year the family
was in somewhat better circums tances.
The children had received a few toys
and had a little Christmas tree. This
year they were told that Santa would
not come, but the little fellow had
abiding faith in the saint. The family
despite their destitute was too proud to
ask for assistance, and one can only
imagine the bitterness for the father
and mother when they. would see the
disappointment in their children on
Christmas eve.
The boys exclamation from heav-
ing chest of excitement, Il knowed, I
knowed It." explains the. conclusion of
the near Christmas tragedy. You are
Santa Claus aren't you" he said cud-
ding up to the charity worker, and the
latter, realizing the situation, told one
of the whitest lies that was uttered in
Hammond He did not have to say very
much. for the fertile child's imagina-
ton put on all the trimmings.

necessary for one of the regular car
riers to be absent at Christmas time
it places a very considerable handicap
on the service. The business of a mail
carrier is very different from a great
many other professions, inasmuch as it
requires a particular knowledge that
cannot be acquired in a day or two.
No substitute being available to take
Mr.. Parenicka's place, Postmaster A.
G. Lundquist himself got into the har-
ness, and, securing a horse and cart
made over $50 deliveries of letters and
parcels Friday morning. Great credit
should be given Mr.. Lundquist for the
energetic way in which he took the
situation in hand, and the postal au-
thorities would do well to see that sub
stitutes are on hand for emergencies
of this kind in the future.

Some folks have tried so long to find

This. no doubt. is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat does
