A STREUUOUS TIME FOR THE CARRIERS

Arc Sent Forth into the Cold, Cold World, Burdened Like Pack Mules.

rhlt U the season of the year which the mall man appreciates less than any other. J a fact be now feels like he was the "goat." It means long hours and exceedingly heavy work even though his burden Is lightened as much as possible by substitutes, but It is no uncommon sight to see the carriers leave the office carrying two sacks of mall which will weigh at least half as much' as the carrier himself. Often this weight must be carried a distance of a half mile before the carrier can begin by degrees to lighten his burden In distribution of the different pieces and it will be an bour later before the sacks are emptied. The season started In a few days earlier this year than last and by Sunday it is expected the mall men will be completely worn out. There will bo much for him to do on the two days following Christmas as he never gets all of the Christmas mail In time to be distributed before the legal holiday. It Is not unusual for each carrier at the local office lo start out with a hundred pounds of mall and over a thousand pieces of different class mail matter. , At one "throw" of the mall on Thursday, over thirty-two thousand pieces were handled by the Richmond clerical force. The business at the stamp window was particularly satisfactory and It Is expected by Postmaster E. M. lUias that the December receipts will exceed those of any previous corresponding month.

A FEW TERSE TALES OF THE METROPOLIS

WANTED A PORK CHOP. New York, Dec. 23. Mrs. Arthur Murray Dodge, widow of the multimillionaire philanthropist and herself noted for her charities, takes especial interest In day nurseries. In fact it Is doubtful if any one woman- in the United States has done as much to develop the day nursery Idea as has Mrs. Dodge, except Miss Biddle. of Philadelphia, who originated the movement in the United States. Mrs. Dodge is Interested in so many different nurseries, besides being president of the State Association of Day Nurseries, that It is necessary for her to have a regular staff of assistants. One of the duties of this stafT of assistants Is to visit the different insti

tutions and find out, through actual

The Magistrate turned to the lieutenant who was standing behind the desk and asked if he knew the man. "No." replied the lieutenant. "I do not know him." "Well," said the Magistrate turning to the prisoner, "what have you got to say?" "If I wxre such a bad character as they are trying to make me, he would know me, wouldn't he?" "You may go," said the Magistrate, "but be careful the next time."

the way of a Christmas gift. On the upper West side of the city is a nursery established in a densely populated colored neighborhood. Little Tommy In his brief life experienced the luxury of being consulted regarding his Christmas wishes. He was absolutely Increduluouti when Mrs. Dodge's representative asked him what he wished Santa to bring him. "Really can 1 have anything I want, Mlsus?" he replied In answer to the agent's query. "Why yes, Tommy," she assured him alarming: thoughts passing through her mind for fear he would ask for a steamboat or a railroad system. "Anything at all I want?" persisted Tommy. "Yes, anything you want." Tommy's little black face grew positively radiant. Tell me he said, scarcely restraining his ectasy, "Tell him to bring me a great big pork chop."

ONE ON THE POLICE. He was not a very hard looking character as he stood before Magistrate Kernochan, who is noted as New York's society judge, accused of disorderly conduct, but he had given a policeman a lively ten minutes the night before. When the policeman finished his story the Magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself. "Well Judge, I am not such an awful bad fellow and I have never been arrested before, Last night I just got a
