Her Grace Effective.

An English woman of rank, a dueh.
ess, was very apt to forget to pay her
bills. A milliner, whose large bill
had been repeatedly ignored by the
duchess, at last determined to send
her little girl, pretty child of ten
years, for the money which was so
much needed.
BE sure to say your grace to the
Duchess" said the anxious mother; and
the child gravely promised to remem-
Der.
When, after long waiting, she was
ushered into the presence of her
grace, the little girl dropped her bow
of courtesy, and then, folding her
hands and closing her eyes, she said,
softly:
For what l am about to receive
may the Lord make me truly thank
full"
AS she opened her eyes and turned
her wistful gaze on the duchess, that
person turned very red. and without
delay, made out q check for the
amount due her milliner.

For CHRISTMAS MAIL

Postmaster Gleason Issues Instruc-
tiOns-NTail Packages Early.
The Postmaster General has is
sued his appeal to the public rela-
tive to the sending of packages
through the mails at Christmas time.
He urges the public to wrap the
packages securely in heavy paper,
tie them we'll with strong Irvine and
address very plainly, and be sure to
put the name and address of the
sender in some place not quite as
conspicuous as the address, this all
helps in the proper delivery and in
case of non-delivery the sender is
notified.
Parcel post packages can be in
sured up to $500 for cents, over
$500 and up to $4,000 for 10 cents
which is the limit for insurance.
Christmas seals can be used but
must not be placed on the address
side of parcels or letters.
Parcels may bear the words, Not
to be opened until Christmas" or
a similar inscription. The timeliness
of gifts depends on their being re-
ceived on or before Christmas day;
early mailing will insure this, where
as the practice of mailing the pack
ages late in the hope that they will
reach their destination Christmas
day is likely to defeat it's own object
due to the congestion of the mails at
this season.
Moral: Maj your packages early.
