They have ever been honest, self-supporting people, who look ask- ance upon charity. So long. as their. boys were spared to them, the litle home was kept together in reasonable comfort. But John Dering descended from a race of warriors, did not hesi- tate to bid his sons go when their country called, and the deprivations which the family has suffered during the last four months form one in- stance of real heroism in connection with America’s “Little War.” Mary Pickford in “A.

On top of the packages comes the deluge of postal cards bearing Christ- mas and New Year's greetings. These, according to Assistant Post- master Lundquist, are pushing out the ‘big consignments of liquor advertise- ments which taxed the mails the past two weeks advertising “the cup that cheers,” and “be in good cheer during the holidays.” Substitute clerks have been placed at the postoffic and two extra wagons were put into service the first of the week ‘for delivery purposes.

The country patrons of ‘Uncle Sam’s chain of rural routes will be served \this Christmas as in the past. But one city delivery will be made by the four carriers, and according to the assistant postmaster it will probably take the men from eight to’ten hours to make their rounds on Christmas. It’s simply Uncle.Sam’s way of assist- ing Santa Claus, From the start of the Christmas rush, it was stated at the’ postoffice ;}ing it up under high pressure today ,that no congestion was to be feared at ,the local office. Assistant Postmaster Lundquist stated that Bismarck has an exceptionally heavy mail during the whole year by the reason of the state capitol being-here. Each day sees thousands of pleces of mail dis- patched from the state house. During the holidays, he pointed out, that the officials have mercy on Uncle Sam and the mail from the capitol building is light. This leaves the of- fice force and the few substitutes placed in a position to meet the an- nual Christmas rush. Then, too, he stated that the holiday catalog rush is over during the week preceding Christmas.- eR SE Let Us Help You Out on Your Christmas Dinner We Make One Delivery this evening, at 8 o ‘elock It is indeed a privilege to help you plan for your table, doubly so when we can hit upon suggestions that’ will add to your satifaction and at the same time prove economy.
