Christmas in the Holy Land is an
interesting experience. Indeed, it
is one never to be forgotten, and
every Christmas thousands of per-
sons from all over the world make
a journey to Palentine in order to
witness the various ceremonies held
there during the festive season.
Every one almost puts up at
Jerusalem and on Christmas morn
ing makes his way to Bethlehem,
which lies almost due south, about
six miles as the crowd flies, over a
range of hills. No highway the
world over presents such a motley
crowd as may be seen streaming
along this thoroughfare early on
Christmas morning.

Christmas Presents by Express

Patrons of express companies
who contemplate sending presents
for Christmas should have them in
the hands of the company not later
than the 18th of December. There
is nothing quite so Disappointing
to the donor as the delay of a
present after Christmas day. It
takes away the sweet sentiment
embodied in these gifts and very
greatly disappOints the receiver.
Express companies are furnishing
patrons with labels reading do
Not Open Until Christmas, " which
may be pasted upon your packages.
Use wooden boxes for packing
when possible. This reduces the
risk of loss and prevents damage.
Write the address plainly with
ink or crayon, giving street num-
Der and county. Write your name
and address on the package follow
ing the prefix From" giving
street and number, and also en-
close in the package one of your
cards.
Do not enclose money or jeweIry |
in packages of merchandise. Such |
articles should be sent in separate
package through the money de-
partment.
Insist upon your receipt, and
have the value of your package
placed thereon.
Mark the package paid" if so
Intended.
Write the word "perishable" on
your package if it contains matter
If a perishable nature.
