according to Postmaster W. o. Rtgby.
Something more than one hundred
million men. women and children Will
take a very special interest in the grey
clad figure with the big pack on his
back during the next two weeks. To
hundreds OF thousands of homes he
will bring parcels of cheer, good viii

Not alone at Christmas time is the
postmanS mission fraught with so
great meaning. There is probably
not a man or woman in America to
whom he does not. at some time or
other, come in indirect contact To-
day he brings sad news of the death
OF loved one: the illness of a rela-

prise Tomorrow he brings news of
gladness; a word from some half for

His whistle Thrills a Nation.
The sound of the postman's whistle
thrills a nation. In the average fam
lily he plays a part more important
than that of the doctor. the lawyer,
the family preache-- He IS their main
point of contact with the great out
side world In a sense he is the agent
OF an inscrutable providence that
guides and moldS the human actions:
a conveyer of all the human emotions,

messenger of joy and an emissarv
Of despair; vital cog in a great ma

makes little difference to him. He
