BUSY DAY FOR CARRIERS

Post your Christmas presents in
tended for patrons of rural routes ear

This is the advice of the postoffice
to the people of the city and county
and because of the congestion which
always attends Christmas in every
postoffice in the country. Delivery
will be made on all rural routes in the
country, Christmas. Uncle Sam deem
ing Thanksgiving a sufficient holiday
for the rural carriers and the day is
one that is dreaded by the average
carrier.
Hard to Handle.
Christmas presents are hard to han.
die any time, but they are doubly hard
to deliver when they are too big for
the mail box and the weather is such
as to keep everyone indoors. 1t is
such days that makes the rural car.
rier want to eat his halo and that is
usually the kind of day the weather
bureau predicts for Christmas.
The postoffice department has an
other purpose in making this recon-
mendation and it is in the interest OF
the clerks of the postoffice.
Dispatching a great deal of mail on
rural routes is as much of a burden to
them as anyone else, and it leads to
congestion in the postoffice which
supplies the rural routes. The post
ing Of packages early will prevent
this and will guarantee to the sender
that his gift will arrive Christmas
Few, if any. would disobey the in
junction on the package, mot to be
opened until Christmas day"

Tim Murphy.

Tim Murphy. who is under the man.
agement of VIM. A. Brady and Louis
F.. Werba, is fortunate in the posses
sion of a great success this season.
Unable to decide between two good
comedies which he selected from over
three hundred submitted, he decided
to refer the, matter to the public and
forthwith prepared thorough and
beautiful production. The judgment
of the public has been that the play is
immense and Tim Murphy has created
new role unlike anything he has done
before and unlike any other, yet en,-
phasizing in it's excellence and it's di-
versity the remarkable versatility OF
this comedian.

gard him as the foremost exponent on
the stage of American character ami

"The Soul Kiss"

One of the most substantial sue
cesses of recent theatrical history I'M
doubtedly is that scored by The Soul

Wednesday, Dec. Is. after having en-
joyed an uninterrupted run Of over
ten months in New York. THE Soul
Kiss as an entertainment is so
breezy and wholesome that it is bound
to become a favorite with all classes
Of theatregoers.
1t is some time since musical
comedy has achieved a greater tri-
umph than this offering of Harry B.
Smith and Maurice Levi. The tune
fulness of The Soul Kiss" is amply
attested by the prevalence Of the song
numbers in all the prominent hotels
and restaurants throughout the en-
tire country. The production is pro-
duced under the direction of Julian
Mitchell, who is considered the most
successful musical comedy stage pro.
Queer in America. His productions
are known to abound in novel electric
effects, colorful groupings of girls,
beautiful ensembles and dainty dance
numbers, executed by corps de bal
let OF twenty.
