rents eddying off into the side streets
and alleys.
In the stores could be heard the
crisp wrapping of paper, the continu-
Gus blare of horns, and tinkling Of toy
pianos, md weary shop girls serving
patrons equally weary. Outside was
wind and snow, and jostling people
loaded down with bales and bundles
of Christmas purchases.
In the postofflce the wheels were
turning fast, while q steady stream Of
letters and packages poured 10 through
the mailing-chutes, on every hand.
Clerks at the various windows were
busy handing out stamps, weighing
bundles and making change.
In the center Of the room man was
pushing a long, horizontal Of let
ters along a table into q ancelling
machine; three others were steadily
pounding packages with q rubber
stamp. Still another man, nervous and
working under pressure, stood just
within q horseshoe railing Of iron
pipe, on which hung canvas mail sacks.
With swift, trained hands he tossed
letters and packages, from his central
position in the horseshoe, into the
open mail sacks, with unerring GER
tainty.
Suddenly scooping up a small hand
full of letters, a clerk called out,
"Specialw A small boy arose from
pile of mail sacks with jump. Rub
bing the sleep out Of his eyes, he went
across the room and entered the ad-
dresses of the specials" in his book.
"Gee, but my feet hurt" he cOnfded
to one Of the clerks. 1t was an oft-re-
peated story to the clerk, but he
stopped his hurried work and regard
ed the boy with kindly eyes as he said:
"Last trip, son; it is after ten
O'Clock now, and If anything should
come in later, we will hold 1t until
morning. I know how it is; used to
carry them myself" ."
The boy went out into the night, and
made his way towards the outskirts
of the town, where there were no street
cars: where th1 way was often dark,
and the sidewalks worn and broken. 1t
was the negro quarters, where broken
window panes were stuffed with old
rags and the window curtains were of
paper, dirty muslin or pieces Of faded
red tableClOth.
The Heavenly Messenger plodded
down a side street, stamping his feet
to keep the snow from caking on his
shoes. He came out of the dark under
the rustling trees, whose ice-coyered
limbs creaked and cracked in the wind
dolefully, past an electric light
dimmed by millions of swirllng White
flakes, then into the dark again.
Suddenly a house loomed up before
him that seemed to be settklg into the
snow like q ship on the brink OF
foundering. Even as the Christmas
Angel lit the first match, shielding It

time, the messages are messages that
carry comfort and gladness-that
bring peace and good will. But
there are heavenly messengers who
are always speeding somewhere, not
only at Christmas time, but all the
time, for that matter-and so this story
has to do only with the small, red
checked boys Of the postofice Special
Delivery" service, who go and come
far into the night on Christmas Eve.
Darkness had fallen and shifting

conducting real fair at Ontario this
season. The weather was ideal, and
the attendance was equal to the

exhibits were there, not only from
Malheur county, but from several ad-
joining counties, good races and good
attractions each day, and the entire
affair was well managed, no acct
dents, no drunkenness or carousing. 1t
was a good clean show all the way
through. Snapp Brotehrs Carnival
Co., the largest delegation of its
kind in the west, was located in the
city as an evening attraction and
certainly drew the people from the
adjoining towns and surrounding
territory. 1t was estimated that fully
5000 people attended each evening
and no indications of scarcity Of
money from the patronage received.
