Two little colored maidens entered The Mail office Wednesday afternoon and one timidly asked: "Is this the place to mail letters to Santa Clans?" Somewhat hesitatingly she was told that some letters to that jolly gentleman were left here. Sho said then they "guessed they'd leave their's here, as they were so anxious for Santa Clause to get them in time." They left the letters and departed, happy and as confident their Christmas wish would be fnllilled as though Santa himself had met them. Here are the letters:

Such Implicit belief in this most beautiful of childhood'* dreams is inspiring, Who of the older ones does not look back to the days when Santa Claus was the one being on whom all bright hopes and pleasant expectations depended, as the happiest in memory. No one will wonder, then, that the fa*os of these two little colored maidens were pktures of confident expectancy, and Santa Claus will be doing a moat commendable act in seeing that their,hopes are not in vain.
