At Chrlstmo? time many rurnl carriers rcqulro an extra spring wagon or bugy und an extra driver to bandlo tho rush of Santa Clous mall both going nud coming. Tho rural frco delivery system, which otartcd but a few years ago. has crown to great proportions. It Is said thnt there aro now In tho United States half as many rural mall car riers as thcro wero men In tho regular army nt tho beginning of our wur against Spain. But not nil of theso car rlcrs aro men. Thcro nro mnuy women driving rural routes. Whether man or woman, tho rural mall agent must ncrro as Santa Cluus to scores of fam ilies at ChrlBtmas. Maybo ho (or shot likes It, and maybo ho doesn't. All that flopends. Frequently tho formers nnd Viclr wives and daughters become Bantn CIouhcs to tho carrier, and that up. There Is tho pair of thick worm hocIch which mother has knit for thu boy away at collcgo or trying to be. como-famous In tho city. Thcro nre presents also for tho Bchooltoachiug daughter, for Brother John nnd Aunt Mnry and for tho little ones who must bo remembered. Tho mall wagon Is heaped with outgoing packages. Hut this Is not all. Santa Claus. R. F. D., would be glad If It wero. Nowndnya tho rural freo deliverer Is empowered to wrlto money orders nnd to rcglMer letters. That menus lots of work for tho -.farmers' Snntn Claus. Many persons send money through tho molls ns ClirlMmus presents. Many also buy presents through tho mall order houses lu tho big cities. Tho carrier must stop nnd wrlto tho money orders. Sometimes ho inny find In n rurnl delivery box tacked to tho ldo of a trco a note to tho effect thnt thu folks up at tho houso want him to register n letter.

They are presents from the farmer's bon who bas gone to tho city ami grown rich or from tho daughter who married thu Hon. Mr. Blank and lives lu the Clover Cliff mansion. Or perhaps Mary Susauua, who is teaching bchool In tho uext stnto nnd can't afford to como homo for the holidays, has spent some of her little hoard of money for Christmas gifts for tho homo folks. Wherever they come from, all those packages ami bundles must bo delivered. Tho H. F. D. man or woman must bo tho general Santa Claus of tho route traveled. On the trip back to town bundles for tho outgoing malls aro gathered a registered letter to deliver to a farmer whoso homo Is on the routo. Registered letters must he dollvered nnd "hlgtiod for," ns the mall box nnll ed to the black ouk tree at tho rood sldo can't sign.
