PALLADIUM'S DISPATCH FROM CHIMNEY CORNERS.
Famous Old Man Ordered an Extra Measure Given to Each of His Reindeers in Preparation for Long Trip.
(By Special Aerograph to the Palladium.) Chimney Corners, Iceland, Dec. 18. "It's about time," said Santa Claus. That was his comment made tonight upon reading an official notification from Postmaster-General Meyer that hereafter Christmas requests addressed to Santa Claus by trustful children will no longer go to the Dead Letter office. "I never could understand why the postal authorities meddled with my
mail." Santa said, pausing in his work 'of adjusting a strap around a packet jof presents. "I was acquainted with 'every postmaster-general in the hlstory of the United States and when they i were children I was as generous to them as to other children. They j grew up, attained official distinction and straightway ruled against old Sauza's correspondence. It was ingrati
tude, nothing less. "I had much rather, of course, that hildren would tell their parents what they want for Christmas, and then the parents can whisper the instructions to me after the children have gone to bed. But if a child prefers to write to me direct, well and good. Every one knows that I have my own special route, with a receiving station at the mouth of every fireplace In the land. During all the centuries that I have conducted "the Christmas festival not
a letter posted at the fireplace has gone astray. "My address here in Iceland is known to the authorities in Washington, and there was no reason why my letters should have been sent to the Dead Letter office. I am glad the children knew it was no fault of mine when they awoke Christmas morning and discovered that their requests had not been granted. It was all the fault of the postal authorities. This letter from Postmaster-General Meyer which
I have in my hand informs me that ho has notified Postmaster Spekenhier to retain letters addressed to me and deliver them to responsible persons who will act as my agents. "I understand that persons in Richmond are volunteering to act as my agents and I want to assure children in Richmond that in the future their requests will receive prompt attention. Have you fed the reindeers'" Santa called to the hired man, who stood in front of the door of tne storehouse. "Yep. Given 'em an extra measure each," replied the hired man; "they're getting in fine shape for the run seven days from now.
