Especially at the Christmas season
does the task fall heavily upon cer
tain ones, by reasons of their position
or occupations.
For. instance, there are the post-
office employes, who for days preced

down until the enormous mass ol
mail which Plattsmouth folks were
sending or receiving was cared for.
The entire staff kept almost ceaseless

about it.
There are the managers of depart
ments and clerks in the stores, who
went from one customer to another
serving long past their usual hour of
closing.
