VISION OF CHRISTMAS MONEY
Woman's Dream Vanished Quickly When She Found Out the
 Conditions

Christmas stockings that weren't sold-and why
 That might as we'll he the title of this story. A certain East Side mat ron has been telling it to a few of her friends-even though it was at her own expense-and the fact that it got much farther than she in tended.
 To the reader it wilA be obvious why no names can be mentioned.
 This woman with a friend was waiting for a street car late one afternoon on a corner not far from her home. The two had waited for some time when they noticed that a man was walking up and down trying doors here and there, as though looking for a number that he could not find. Finally he them.
 "I am looking for a number" he said. giving it. but I don't seem to be able to find it. Perhaps you can help me?''

MAIL RECORD
 |S BROKEN Monday Heaviest Day in History of Local ?. 9. SIX HUNDRED REGISTRATIONS
Over Two Hundred and Fifty Money Orders Are
 Issued and Two Express Vans Are Required to Carry Matter to Trains.

Three records of the Phoenix post office were broken yesterday and un- less present signs fail these new marks are not likely to stand more than a day or two, if that long During the nine hours the registry windows were open 600 registrations were received, a number never before approached in the history of the local pOstoffice. In uhe money order department 25O or ders were issued, this also being a rec ord for outgoing money orders. The third record fractured was that of out going general mail, this being evidenced by the bulk of the sacks which were sent out during the day.
 Notwithstanding this extraordinarily heavy business, every detail of it was carried out with clocklike precision by the ample and able force of clerks Post CT J. II. McCnntoek has placed in charge of the work and the superb system that official has worked out in anticipation of the rush of the holi- day season. By means of this system there was never a minute throughout the entire day that the clerks were not practically up with their work.
 It will be seen that there were re- ceived at the Registry windows an aver age of sixtysix parcels each hour, be- ing more than one piece per minute. At times through the day an average of three pieces per minute were being handled. This was made possible by the introduction of the numbered slip system. by means of which each send CT of a piece of registered mail was given q numbered slip as a receipt for his or her package or letter which had been numbered correspondingly. The packages, with their numbers were then turned over to the regular regis try receipt clerks at work inside and the usual records were made by them,

made seven or eight trips to the castle. first with the mother and father. then the aunts and uncles and numerous cOusines. then the young people. the officers of the garrison rattlinS up by relays in a wagonette. From a secret vantage ground above, one of the ladiesin-waiting and myself watched the guests assembling. thronging into the long hall. where gloomy armored figures kept their guard of centuries Almost all of the men were in uniform, in active service or the reserve I re member still one whom I especially noticed. a great picturesque TeutOn in scarlet coat, black trousers and a cooked hat, with a black ribboDl around his neck and the white cross of the Knight of St John of Malta, the humane and compassionate order that accepts comradeship only from those of noble birth.
 Bustling about trying to make peo- pie comfortable. for the court officials, their coats covered with gold braid The honorary gentlemen-in-w waiting were marked men, all with two gold buttons on the back of the black coat. and high collars covered with embroid- cry.
 It must be confessed that, according to American notions, the women in general were not well dressed, with little taste and much less style. They all seemed too short waisted. the man. mas very fat and dumpy. the young girls fresh and unspoiled. but lacking. even their early age, in delicacy of outline. Greeting one another and chat tering at furious rate. they were plainly taking mental note of the com pany assembled. as it conferred infin- itely greater prestige to be invited to a small concert at the castle than to a large state ball.-The Wife of an American Diploma in the January Deiineator

Der to work for me-" he explained
 The first woman thereupon wink cd at her companion and said: Per haps I would do. I'm looking for some work at which I can earn a little Christmas money"
 He let his eyes travel over her from head to foot. ''Yes, i think you'd do." he replied with d little smile.
 What kind of work is it?"
 Its posing-in the nude I'm an artist"
 'Why-Tm-if-" the woman stUt- tered. blushing furiously, while the other turned away to hide her en- joyment of her friends confusion.
 It isn't so bad" said the man. Its only to take some photographs for hosiery advertisements. D"
 The story ends right here.

II Was very unusual thing for more than three or four packages or letters to be ahead of these clerks.
 More time was necessarily consumed in the issuing of money order receipts. but two clerks were able to take care of this business. Extra clerks were engaged in the sorting of the general mail. while still other clerks were con- stantly sorting the registered mail and placing it in sacks and other recep- tacles properly tagged and ready to be closed when the minute arrived that they must be sent to the trains.
 Extra sack racks have recently been installed so that a number of distribut- ing clerks may work at the same time, while two cancelling clerks are en- gagged in feeding the electrically Op- erated cOncelling machines. Even the general delivery system has been ex- tended and a finer classification of the mail awaiting call has been inaugu- rated.
 Postmaster McClintock stated yes terday that under the present system, but five minutes elapses after the closing of the office for the day, be- loIG every IS tIldDitu lO his or her work in shape.
 Thirty-five registered mail pouches were sent out of the office last evening, making over forty for the day. Two large express vans were required to carry the general mail to the evening trains, to say nothing of that sent out at various hours throughout the day.
 The carriers these days present the appearance of packhorses rather more than human beings, so heavy is the load usually taken out by them. In some instances more than one trip to the postoffice is necessary before the carrier can cover his route.
 But withal, in spite of the rush and hustle, the mail of Rhoenicians, both and outgoing. is being han dled with the same dispatch that marks the regular service, and Colsnel Mo Clitock is entitled to the praises of ev cry interested citizen for his complete grasp of the situation.
 Incidentally Postmaster McClintock again calls the attention of the patrons of the office to the necessity for them to watch against attaching postage or other stamps to third and fourth class matter in such a number as to pre- clude inspection, for this act makes of otherwise lower class matter, packages requiring the highest rate of postage. He also states that persons desiring to register matter, will greatly faeili- l tate matters If they will have not only 1 the full address of the person to whom they are sending the package already affixed to the package but their own full name and street address IS well.
