Many . 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.

POSJOFFICE IS
GETTING BUS!
Christmas Rush of Sending
Packages From Coos Bay
Has Started.
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.
APPLE CAUSES FALL.
roosts Private Thompson Three
Months at Hard Labor With
Loss of Pay.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Three
nonths' imprisonment and the loss
if pay during that period is the price
.vhich James R. Thompson, private
n Company C, Tenth Infantry, will
jay for eating an apple. The find
ings of the court-martial, which
ried tho case, were approved yester
lay at army headquarters.
Private Thompson's offense was
committed near Dublin, Ind., while
lis company was on practice march
o Fort -Benjamin Harrison, Ind.
Uembers of the company had been
cautioned against foraging enroute,
'Hit, like Adam, Thompson fell to the
'jlandishmonts of a red ripe apple in
a farmer's orchard.
"Throw that fruit down," Lieuten
ant Caldwell commanded. Thomp
son grinned, took another big bite
and replied: "I'm not taking orders
from you."
That settled it. First' came the
q;uard house, then the court-martial
and now the three months' imprison
ment at hard labor.
