Christmas Presents Lost-Through Carelessness of the Senders. Too much care cannot be exerted in seeing that the Christmas pack ages which are sent through the malls are securely fastened, the ad dress plainly, written and a return placed at one corner of the package to avoid its being sent to the dead letter office should no one claim it. Thousands of Christmas packages are 'lost every year because of the carelessness of the sender. The loss is an unnecessary one and not at all desired by employes of Uncle Sam, for it makes thsm do over many times what should be expected only once for the amount of money spent in postage fees. Every year there are a number of articles each telling a story of Its ohvh and in some cases a pathetic one left uncalled for at the post offices. ,The boxes in which they had been placed were shattered by travel through thq mails, and only enough of the wrapping remained to tell that they were destined to friends here. A member of the United States Postal Service has Issued the follow ing instructions: "If is a common practice for peo ple, during the Christmas season, to purchase presents that are hurried ly tied up by the clerks, scarcely se cure enough to be carried home. In this condition they are presented at the postofflce for mailing, probably to go hundreds of miles piled up with tons of other mail and thrown on or' off fast going trains, they are apt to reach their destination In any thing but a presentable condition. "When purchases are intended for mailing, the persons wrapping them should be informed that the ar ticles are to go In the malls without other sealing. A still better way is to take home, wrap, and address them properly, always making sure that your return address Is plainly written on the package. Valuable packages should always be regis tered, as such aro never lost except by wteck or flre. The registry fee Is 8 cents with ordinary postage ad ded. With a package of the fourth class prepaid at the proper rate, the sender may Inclose any mailable matter of the third class, a single card bearing the name of the send er, and any such inscription as "Mer ry Christmas," "Happy New Year," "Best Wishes," and so forth." "Santa Clans" Letters. Postmaster-General Meyer has not decided whether ho will Issue an order Blmilar to the one he issued on December 13 -last, which provides that letters unmistakably to "Santa Claus" may be delivered to any reg ularly organized charitable society. ,The Postmaster-General has receiv ed numerous communications both for and against tho reissuance of the order and is now giving considera tion to them. THIS FISH IS COMBINATION OP MANY OF FINNY TRIBES Remarkable Creature Caught In Mis sissippi Resembles Fish, Whale, .Shark, Bullfrog and Eel. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17. Tho Iiaband Pharmacy, 1730 South Eleventh street, has a combination fish, whale, shark, bullfrog and eel that is puzzl ing fishermen. Tho fish was found in a 10-pound catfish caught at tho footof Soulard street by W. Tokor ni. It was alive whon taken from tho larger- fish, but died almost Im mediately. It has no eyes, but has eight objects resembling cars on each side of its body, extending about half tho 12 inches of Its length. Its mouth Is probably tho most peculiar thing about it, for it is located on tho side of the head and runs longth wi Us tooth are prongs, like those of a Bhark and curvo back ward toward its throat. llAIt GOSSIP ON PHONES.

The famllar sign announcing that "the mall has not arrived" was ex hibited all forenoon in the Marsh field post offlce today, but this did not prevent the employes of tho of fice being busy. The Christmas rush has started and in fact has been on for the past three days. It is likely that the business of sending away Christmas gifts starts on Coos Bay about as soon as any place because of the slowness of the mails in getting in and out, and al ready the people aro getting mailed the gifts they wish to send to friends far distant. The Christmas mall means a lot of work for the postofflce officials. There is weighing of packages to be done and stamps to sell and a largo number of packages of all sizes and icinds to handle. According to pres ent Indications the Christmas rush will be as great as usual. The irregularity of the incoming mails the past few days does not make matters any easier for the post office people.
