THE CHRISTMAS RUSH AT THE
POSTOFFICE.

While the Christmas rush at the post
office is over, belated packages keep the
employees busy. Yesterday, Monday, the
deliveries were by carriers as usual and
III wagons by special carriers. There has
never been such rush of postofice
business at Shreveport. The rush was
marvellous, and yet with all this the
service was very satisfactory This rush
IS an indication of the steady and sub
stantial growth of this city.

THAT POOR HUSBAND.

THAT POOR HUSBAND.
For six months he had not smoked a
cigar.
For the same length of time he had
eaten cheap lunches.
Many and many time he had walked
to save car fare.
He had had his winter overeoat dyed
black, instead of buying new one.
He had not bet on elections, and he
had held the lodge off on his dues.
Yes, Mr.. Perkins had saved and econ
omized and buck1ed right down to hard
pan, and three days before Christmas he
had it In his hip picket--a diamond ring
for Mrs. Perkins. He was proud man
when he played Santa Claus. It was re-
ceived with an "Oh, George!" that paid
him for all his sacrifices 1t was a happy,
merry breakfast up to the last moment
Then a shadow was seen on Mrs. Per
kins' face, and she hitched about uneas-
lily and gave Mr.. Perkins suspicious
look.
What was wrong? Would she have
preferred steam yacht to the ring?
'Wifey, what is it"
No answer.
Tell me, WHEY
Mr. Perkins, she said as she turned
to him with pale and determined face
are these real diamonds or only rhine
stones?"
