CHILD'S LETTER TO SANTA
CARRIED WITHOUT STAMP
Uncle Sans Postmen Heed Pathetic
Little Note on Face of
Envelope.
81 have no stamp, Santa Clause.

81 have no stamp, Santa Clause
Such an inscription, written in a
childish hand. carried an appeal to
Santa Claus safe and sound through
the city post Office past the terrible
moguls who are on the lookout for
bad stamps and the like, and brought
it towel, not exactly to Santa Claus,
but to the place where some Santa
Claus may materialize, perhaps.
81 have no stamp, Santa Clause"
This imperial frank carried the letter
as safely and as truly as the frank
of any representative or senator could
do it. 1t was scrawled across the top
of the letter, where the stamp should
have been. Below came the regular
cancellation of the United States gov
ernment. and the postmark 1t was all
there except the stamp. Below all
came the address. ending: "Locle."
Surely Howard Jones of Washfn ton,
D. C-home address not given-has a
sublime faith in Santa Claus. 1t
wasn't up to the city post office to
as follows:
Dear Santa Clause:
please bring me a wagon and Il pair
of skates.
Yours truley,
"HOWARD JONES"
That was all. But that doesn't make
any difference. The question is, will a
real Santa Claus. with d touch Of Sher-
lock Holmes about him, find out where
Howard Jones lives and bring him the
wagon and the pair of skates?
