wagons for immediate delivery. From this office during the past week the live delivery wagons of the company and one extra one hired of a transfer company lave been busy doing nothing but delivering parcels. About an equal number of parcels are brought to the up town office addressed merely to Phoenix. many of course for those re- siding some distance in the country and others in the city where the street ad- dress is not known. It is estimated that about 500 parcels have been handled through each office each day for the past week, and while so many may not have been sent out the num- Der will very closely approach it, so that the company is handling between l.50O and 2.00O packages a day.
 A little explanation of the handling of those packages not addressed to street and number may be interesting Each package is checked off the way bill on arriving and properly entered on a card and given a number which is the same number found on a sticker that is at the same time fastened on the end of the package. The packages are corded up like a pile of wood as nearly as possible in numerical order so when a package of particular num- Der is wanted for delivery it can be easily found by the sticker on the end without reference to the address until after it is pulled out of the pile
 The cards bearing the same numbers as the stickers are then mailed to the addressee of the packages and when received if the patron brings back the card with him his package is easily found. saving a great deal of time for the clerk and for the owner of the par eel. IL is also proof to the clerk that there is a parcel there somewhere and it is mp To him to find it whether it takes a minute or an hour. But those who come without the cards may have to wait sometime before the pile can be gone through with in order to find their package. especially if two or three days business has accumulated since its arrival.
 In addition to the work O. handling the business in sight" there are na- turally a great many people in the community who are expecting parcels but who have not been notified of their arrival They call daily to make i'm

USE FOR CHRISTMAS CARDS.

A good use for the Christmas cards is to make them into bookmarks. Ev- cry Christmas we receive such beau ties of cards which We would like to have about us where We ca nsome- time enjoy them, but We generally put them away in a box and see them only on rare occasions when we look over our papers" to find some long lost article. If the card is small fasten it to the end of a ribbon marker and let it hang outside the book. For the larger card or the postcard, make slit across the bottom and top of the card and draw the ribbon through on the back and place the marker in the book. Then whenever you read that particular book you not only have a pretty marker but pleasant thoughts of VOur friends

PRIVATE WHITE, .. s. A..

Suppose 46 years ago somebody had told Private White, C. s. A, trudging along. ragged and happy and shooting at the United States flag whenever he saw it. that he would live to be appointed chief justice of the United States supreme court by a president from Ohio and a Republican, says the Roanoke Times. Napoleon used to encourage his men by telling them that every private carried in his knapsack the baton of a marshal of France: but nobody ever told a pri- vate of a hostile army that he had in his head the chief justiceship of the greatest and most responsible court on earth. Really the chief justiceship is a higher place than the presidency. It is the place Mir. Taft coveted and for which he tried to avoid being president Yet the Confederate pri- vate, the democrat, gets it from the

much bigger business during the past week and month, than ever before and it is equally certain that most of the merchandise shipped had to be bought somewhere, for there was a lot more of 1t than anybody could steal and not get caught at it. And where so much was bought to send away there must have been lot bought for home dis tribution.
 Concerning the general receipts of the postoffice. they have been for the month Of December to date $l 200 in excess of the entire month of Decem- Der last year. It is too early yet for a compilation of figures on the Christ mas business lone in the registry and money order departments. IL Is only known that the business far exceeded that of any former year. In the regis try department approximately 12,OOO parcels have been despatched since July 1 and about 11.30O have been received.
 Something rather more tangible has been secured of Wells Fargo & Co.,, the business of that concern seeming to have increased much more even than A'ie-t VI tiiS P'F'''AAiN'f eiiouSh tiiS AiS Ules for the preceding year are not available. Even at the express office though the figures are approximated. but the business has been so great it needs no figures to show it.
 Many are not aware perhaps that beside the regular up town office, Wells Fargo x Co. has rented the Prowell property at the northwest cor Ter of First avenue and Jackson street.

 It is one of the wonders of our modern progress and development It comes as a beautiful Christmas gift tO the South and to the former com rades of Private White. C. :. A, a message of peace on earth and good will to all men in this country-men of all sections and parties and creeds. We used to have horrible fears of a Roman Catholic as president. Here is a Roman Catholic rather higher than the president. appointed by Unitarian and voted for by men of many beliefs. And We had a Jew in the cabinet until he declined further service. In all of which there is material for some deep and solemn and joyous thought. We are getting away from bigotry and narrowness and sectionalism and prejudice and old disturbing antagOnisms, and get ting away very fast.
 MT. Justice White has achieved and attained by force of brains and char acter. Yet he would not have reach ed where he is if the American peo- pie had not elected as presidents Cleveland. the democrat, who put him on the supreme court bench. and Taft, the republican, who elevated him. We congratulate the democratic party and the republican party, the south and the north, President Taft and Private White.

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS
 OF THE DYING YEAR
IT HAS BEEN LARGER HERE THAN
 EVER BEFORE.
Express Office and Postoffice Both Show Greatly Increased Volume.

It seems to be a quite general com ment that the people of Phoenix and vicinity during the present season, did their shopping earlier than ever be- fore For once some attention was paid to the almost universal injunction from merchants, clerks and newspapers to buy early and avoid the rush. Sat
 urday naturally saw a big crowd in all the stores. but almost everybody was finishing up his buying instead of just starting it. some critics have ven tured the assertion that the Christmas business was not so large as usual. but more express the opinion that it was larger. There would be no way of certainly telling unless all the mer- chants showed their books for the pres ent and previous years. but SD far as the postoffice and the express office afford a business barometer the indi- cations are that business was a great deal heavier than ever before. It is certain those two institutions did a

quiry. In due season they are waited upon but they cannot be told their fate as quickly as other patrons. The clerks do their best to accommodate all with the greast possible facility, but up it takes some little time to find one that isn't there.
 Speaking of the general growth of the express business in Phoenix. the agent. Captain Connell said yesterday that during the year 1910. the gross re- ceipts of no month has been less than Sl.50O in excess of the same month for the year before, and from the minimum the monthly excess of business has run as high as $4.500. Including the ten messengers that run out of Phoenix from this office the local Wells Fargo force now consists of twenty four men as against four office men and two messengers when the captain took charge of the office in 1897.
 During recent months the Phoenix office has done more business than any other office except San Diego. in the entire southwestern division. which embraces everything south of Los An geles and Goldfield. Nevada, as far as Guaymas. Mexico, and as far east as Albuquerque, including r.; Paso, by de- ducting from the latter the rebilling of parcels into Mexico. The captain says he understands that about the first of January the Santa Fe proposes to run exclusive trains for express and mail matter between Los Angeles and Chi cago, cutting down the time schedule eight hours. During the present Christmas rush some trains have gone through on the main lines with six and eight cars devoted exclusively to eX- press matter.
