THE CHARLOTTE NEWS DECEMBER 8, 1919. FOURTEEN . I - 5 1 C-JjsI j C cv 3 aaoq Letters to appear in this col umn should be addressed: SANTA CLAUS, Care Charlotte News, Charlotte, N. C. The loose-jointed tongues of the cheap rvits still wag. 1 ' . hTe following "joke" came in this morning's mail typewritten on the sta tionery of one of the leading dry goods Etores in town: T "I am a little girl 40 years old. 1 want you to bring me a horn, drum, 3oll, a jumping jack, one wooden leg. one set of false teeth, a wig of golden hair, one glaa seye, color greed. Kind ly let them come by parcel post as I am In need of them badly." The whiter should also have asked for a brain, an iota of decency, and a Fpark of manhood. If these "wits" would come out in he open with their jests, it wouldn't be so bad. You could handle them then. The Bo-called man or so-called human beinc: who pulls such a stunt and then is so low and underhand as to hide behind a I! -cent postage stamp deserves nothing frut the worst and long since has ceas fd to merit fit associations.
