lly Observing m Few Simple Rule*
Persons May Save TImmuwIvvn am
l*c?Ktol!lce Clerks Trouble.
Just now with Christ inns les:
than two weeks off. Kriss Kringle'i
busy season is coming at a rap'<
rate. N'ot only have the retail shop
everywhere made their preparation
already for the yuletide by display
lag their most tempting and attrac
tive wares, bat there are many othe
signs showing the season of goot
cheer to be near at hand. The hea<
of tin* house hurries to workshoo
mill and ofllee loaded with the sea
son's offering for friends far niu
near, and takes his place In the loiu
line before the stamp windows a
the many postofllces awaiting his
turn to weigh his gifts and plac
them in Undo Sam's safe keeping
for delivery.
And it is just here that Uncb
Bam?always kind and generous t?.
his 90,000,0 00 people?comes forward
with some timely Christum1
suggestions and tolls all of hh
friends, big and little, how to enjoy
to the fullest the holiday time. These
suggestions are in the form of information
for Christmas shoppers
who send their gifts through th'j
mails from one part of this big
country to the other, and by the due
observance of these simple; rules,
persons may save both themselves
and the tired-worn-out clerks at the
postofllre much needless worry and
t rouble.
Uncle Sam's first chapter In tho
little primer that he has just issued,
tells the people first to provide
themselves with a generous supply
of good, stout cord, plenty of
strong wrapping paper, and, if necessary,
to prevent damage, some
light pasteboard boxes, after all the
gifts that are to be sent out through
the mails have been bought. Then
after the bundles are wrapped and
tied and duly marked, provide yourself
with a set of library scales that
will cost not more than half a dollar.
Now your presents will be divided,
according to Uncle Ham's methods of
doing business?and ho does a considerable
amount of it at times?
into two classes, either "third" or
"forth," and, perhaps-, most of them
will fall into the last named classification,
though books, it must be
remembered, comes in the third
class. Provide yourself with plenty
of stamps and do not forget to secure
a generous supplay of the onecent
kind for the odd cento that win
be needed to send your gifts out.
Take your packages and weigh
them carefully on the scales you
have previously bought, or perhaps
borrowed from a neighbor, and remember
that these are the requirements:
One cent for each ounce
or part of an ounce, except seeds,
lilllUtf I'nnlu "I""'" ? : -1. __ ?
i . 11 ii n |iiiuii.i, II it'll I'Ohl
only half as much, and which will
go to all parts of the United States
for one cent each two ounces. See
that no packages weigh more than
four pounds as that is the limit,
and those in execs of that weight
will be rejected.
Should you wish to present you**
friends with hooks, these will come
under the third class, and the requirements
will he one cent for every
two ounces?or just half that of
the ordinary Christmas gift.
The next chapter in the primer
tells Uncle Sam's people what to
place on the wrapper, envelope .tag
or label in order to insure speedy
transportation and delivery. In addition
to the name and address of
the addressee, there may be written
or printed the name, occupation
and residence of the sender, preceded
by the word "from," but nothing
else that would savor of a personal
correspondence.
There is no objection to placing
cards inside the boxes or packages

"merry Christmas," "happy Now
Year," or some similar greeting K1)itable
to tho occasion, but thoro mint
be absolutely nothing morn. Any
addition to thin is a violation of tho
postal regulations, and subjects the
sender to a fine of $1,000 or to imprisonment
for a long period in one
of the Government penitentiaries.
"We frequently find," said one of
Uncle Sam's posto;fllco officials today,
"that many women and children
?and sometimes men also?violate
the lawts in sending letters?which
are first class matter in packages
under fourth class, or lower rates.
Of course, there are many cases of
1his character that we io not prosecute,
because, upon investigation, it
is found that the violations have not
t)oen wilfully oommitted, but are
the result of ignorance. No writing
whatever should be placed inside
the ordinary package, but a card
bearing a suitable greeting and this
can bo done in three or four words.
Of course, when we have reason to
suspect that pepole are doing thir
to evade the payment of letter postage,
prosecution follows, and they
usually pay the fine, and the case j
ends there. Many persons who have
no Intention whatever of violating I
tho law, hurledly prepare their lit- !

declares ho has Invented a means by
which the rotation of the earth on

K in travel, and that by standing stM

He has found a way, Rev. Mr.
Shredanovlch says, by which men
may lift themselves above the earth
- to a point where they will stand

. west to east, will do their traveling
for them. The secret is jealously

( Democracy's K on Obi North

Washington, Don. 10.?"It's nil
tommy-rot about tho Republicans
making gains in the South," says
Oovernor (Menu, of North Carolina,
who is hero on. a visit. "While U
is true,that my majority was about
IT),000 creator than that given (Jovornor-eloct
Kitchen, the Democratic
vote was larger by nearly 18,Out)
than it ever has boon. The Republicans
polled a bigger vote, of emus'1,
which showed that greater interest,
was taken in the last campaign than
in any past election.
"Why 'should the Southern States
change their politics? Individually
tb? States of the South are more
prosperous than the Republican
States of the North. There never
was a time when tho South was more
prosperous. If, therefore, we are
progressing, why, I repeat, should
we change our politics?
"Rectiuse Mr. Rryan was defeated
is no reason for a change of mind
on my part regarding him. I consider
him one of the greatest Americans
that ever lived, and history
will prove it." *

Lady Such for Being Carried OH' bj
Ilnllooii.
Now York, Hoe. 10.?Mrs. Mary S
Roper, of Brooklyn, tomorrow will
endeavor to convince twelve men in
tlie supreme court at Kingston, N.
Y., that her feelings wore lacerated
to the extent of $25,000 when her
foot was entangled in the anchor
rope of a balloon, and she was carried
skyward in an inverted and uncomfortable
position in the presence
of more than 5,000 persons.
The Anglo Society, under whose
auspices the balloon ascension was
given, is the defendant. The suit
is the sequel to a story which thrilled
the country on the morning of Aug.
30, 1900, the day after Mrs. Roper,
under protest, accompanied the balloon
skyward. But the Agricultural
Society goes Mrs. Roper one better
and charges her with having spoiled
the exhibition. *
NARROW KSCAPK.
Train Running Fifty Miles an Hour
Turns Over.
Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 10.?The
wreck of the west bound North Coast
limited at MoKenzie, 20 miles east
of hero last night may bo considered
one of the luckiest in the annul"
of railroading, according to rail coal
men. The fact that an almost entire
train going at the rate of 50
miles an hour, containing more thai.
200 persons could turn over and go
down a 10-foot embankment without
killing anybody is marvelous.
The tin.in struck a broken rail.
The engine got over safely, hut the
tender went off the track, followed
by the baggage and mail earn
Then the coupling broke and the
threo day coaches, two Hoopers an 1
t bo observation car wont down an

and tinned over without breakln/Pa
coupling. The hard packed snow

Half tho pooplo in the world are
always doing something to take off
llesh; and tho other half to put in
tie gifts for their friends in other
cities, dash otT a note of perhaps
a half-dozen lines, place it insid"
t the package then dopoist it for transmit
tants through the mails. Wo
object to tlds; it is a violation of the
law, and often results in needless
prosecutions, birt there are also
j many instances where the trouble
has come about entirely through igj
norance and inattention to the pogtotllce
rules." (

Simple Kverytlay Life of the Queer,
of Knglaiid?(ireat Letter Writer.
Few people* can realize the comparative
simplicity of tie* everyday 1
life of Queen Alexandria, especially
when in Scotland or at Sand ringham.
While in Norfolk the Queen
spends much of her time in the open
air, walking, driving and doing
short expeditions in her motor car.
After breakfast she and one or
more of the several ladies who may
no staying in the house make an J
expedition to kennels, stables mil '
poultry yard to to feed ntul interview
the favorite dogs, horses and poultry
of the establishment. In the afternoon
a drive is arranged, and the
evenings pass cheerily with music,
cards and conversation. Pinner at <
Saudringham is always at 8:4."?. i
it may be mentioned that the roy- !
al servants' liveries have a quaint, 1
old world appearance and are dif- 1
ferent in cut to those seen else- 1
where. The coa's are scarlet, made
in the swallowtail style, with dark,
blue waistcoats edged by narrow
gold braid. The men wear no collars,
but h ivc gold stocks; and white (
satin breeches and white silk stock- t
ings complete their stately costume. 1
All the royal men servants are over <
six feet in height. 1
The Queen is an indefatigable let- '
tre writer. She has been known to
write as many as forty lettwrs in
one day with her own hand; and ;
