Otherwise he waa in fine spirits and
danced a jig while th - reporter was

The first place at which Santa and the
reporter drew up was at the boot and
shoe store of
PEQBA.M AND CO.,
where is alwayskepta large lineof chice

In addition to their well selected stock
of fine shoes for men and women, boys

were then shown through the men's fine
shoe department, which is complete and

'commend me to those trunks, valises,

Better ones could not be found." Inti

this sort to visit Santa nurri-d the re

GRAY AND BROTHER
This is a newly established house and
everything in it looked bright as a new
pin and it was as much as Santa could
do to make his way behind the counters
for the number of pre ents piled about
on all sides. Sant-i looked over a lot of

At this establishment Santa enumerated

a heavy stock of boots shoes, hats and

The Exchange ot Stamps.
Postmastr Jenkins has received
official notification from W. Q. Gftes
ham postmaster general, in regard
to the redemptionof stamps. The in
structions are that no stamps or en
velopes must be received for exchange
but those of the three and six-cent de
nominations. Stamps, stamped en
velopes. or postal cards may be given
in exchange for the three and six
cent stamps and envelopes. Under
no circumstances must money be
given in exchange for stamps or en
velopes. Postage-stamps will be ex
changed at their face value ; stamped
enve opes at full current rates as shown
in the schedule of January 1, 1883, to
be found on pages 798 and 799, United
States Umcial Jfostal tfuide tor Jan
uary, 1883. Where stamped envelopes
are exchanged in small or irregular
quantities, their exact value must be
determined as nearly as may be prac
ticable; but postmasters are not ex
pected to lose the fractions of a cent,
either in receiving or giving envel
opes in exchange.
Stamped envelopes bearing printed
cards or special requests, as well us
ordinary stamped envelopes are to be
exchanged; also stamped envelopes
that bear printed addresses. In mak
ing exchanges of either stamps or en
velopes no limitation as to number is
prescribed ; they mf-y be exchanged
noma'ter in what quantities offered.
Postmasters must not exchange
stamps that are cancelled, mutilated,
or defaced, or from which the gum
has been removed, or that are so
damaged in any way as to bear the
appearance as having been used
Stamped envelopes must also be in a
perfect condition to warrant their
exchange. Ureal care is to be exer
cised in this matter. Doubtful cases,
especially where la ge amounts are
involved, should be referred for de
cision to the Third Assistant Postmas
ter General.

HAPPY MCSMITH
But few of pur tiood little readers are
aw are of the fact that old Santa is a mu
sician of ihe highe-it order. The re
Dorter didn t know it himself until he
went into McSmith's music house witu
Santa and witnessed a performance tha
was better than a whole minstrel show
Santa performed the remai kable feat of
playing upon a piauo a mouth harp, a
base fiddle, an accordeon and a trom
bone, all at the same time, beating a
drum and rattling a pai"- of bones in ad
dition. After giving us "When the
Robins Nest Again" by this orchestra.
Santa put the instruments back to their
places and told us to look around at the
array of presents. For the children
were toy pianos, minature organs,
drums, harps, etc., in the greatest abund
ance and foi everybody there were ban
j'e violins, accordeons brass band in
struments, pia -os ard organs, organ
ettes. nusic boxes, sheet music, flutes,
bugles, trombones, etc, etc. ""McSmith
generally goes crazy about this time of
the year. " Santa told us. "and gives
away nearly everything that he has.
So it is just the time and place for Christ
mas presents. Tell all your readers to
