Show SANTA CLAUS MESSAGES. ,,t "Santa Claus, Iceland, North Pole." Postmarked Salt Lake, November 23, and with the address written in childish child-ish hand, the first of tho season's plain tivs messages from the credulous child went through the postoffice yesterday. yes-terday. The pity of the message is that the believing child who addressed the loiter loi-ter does not know that the government, govern-ment, with all Its postal facilities, has no Intercommunication with Ico-lnud, Ico-lnud, North Pole. The best that a postmaster can do Is to forward the letter to tho dead letter office, Washington, Wash-ington, D. C However, It has been known In the oast that, although nothing Is shown In the postal guide, yet tho dead letter let-ter office has some kind of communication communi-cation with Santa Claus, wherever ho nay bo on Christmas eve, and In a good many Instances the letters ad-Jressed ad-Jressed to him have been received and answered. |
