hearts. reach the post, office daily

lit“ boy who is not at. all sure of
M'- bounty. and particularly un-
certain if he ran happefid to slight
you the Christmas before.
To prevent a repetition of such an
oversight. Postmaster Edmund E.
Croreforwnrds such mail to the Sui-
vatiou Army. If these kind folk find
upon investigation. that there's the
smallest chance of even one little girl
or boy being neglected. they take im-
mediate measures to prevent such a
sorrowful happening.
Sometimes such letters are addres-
sed to the Evening Sentinel. Nor-walk
children seem to have a. sublime be-
lief that if any one can claim the at-
tention of their favorite saint this
newspaper can. Some of the little let-
ters are on my desk now.
Here's one:
"Dear Santa Claus: I hope that you
will not forget me at Christmas. but
as I have been a naughty buy my
mother says maybe so. if you haven't
any more sleds left or a toboggnn cap
like Joe's. could you bring me a dog.
one that will not tramp mud into the
carpets. as my mother would not let
ms keep it. The man at the Sentinel
will send this to you. Good bye—."
Since this is a. bona this letter. I
will print the name. But I wish-0h.
how very much I wish! that this lit-
tle chap may have the dog. and the
toboggan cap and the sled. with a
touch of maternal forbearance into
the bargain. Don't you think it's a
bit too bad to scare him so about "be-
ing good?" I do.
A little girl whose name is ”Tessie"
or. "Jesde'f—I can't tell which—oaks

books, games and a baby carriage for
