Mail Early and Often
By Anule Sclilruier, clerk in New Ro
chelle, New York, postoulce,
The Christmastide is drawing near,
When parcel post looms high,
The clerki and postmen plead with
you;
"Mail Karly," is their cry.
Of course you want your friends
to get
Their gifts by Christinas day,
And Uncle Sam will back you up
If you mail them right away.
But if you keep on waiting
Until tjie last few days,
There'll be congestion in the mails
And terrible delays.
Just think how disappointed
The kiddies nil would be,
If your presents came too late
To hang ou the Christmas tree.
Your gifts need not be opened
If a past r you will use;
"Don't open until Christmas,' '
Is a seal that you should choose.
I wonder If you realize
The hardships of the clerks,
If you neglect to mall tliisNvcek,
And thus your duty shirk.
And pity the poor postmen
Laden down with shoulders lame;
For Altho 'tis "Merry Christmus"
They must all work just the same.
So remember, friends, mail early.
If you'd spread the Christmas
cheer,
Mall early, nnd mall often
And delays you need not fear.

The Public Dock Commission
last week authorized the extension
of the municipal railway from its
present terminus at the entrance to
Municipal No. 4 directly into the
center of the terminal at a cost of
approximately ffiooo. It is likely
that the work wilt be performed by
force account. The commission con
atructcd this railway as an exten
sion of the St. Johns Hue several
mouths ago to a point just outside
the terminal urea. The terminus
wan a considerable distance from
the big piers nnd docks and em
ployes and others going to ami from
the terminal were required to walk
nearly ouehulf mile. The result was
that tho commission lost considera
ble patronage and it was finally
decided to build the extension -Abstract.
