When they regained consciousness
they equipped their wallet pockets

City Gets 125,000
CHICAGO. If any ono doubts that
tho friends of Chlcagoans do not
send them cards from all parts of the
world during tho vacation season, Just
ask the letter carriers. Chicago's post
office Is now receiving 125,000 cards
dally, and when tho postcard crop is
at 113 height, tho ofllco will handlo
200,000 cards a day.
If all of tbo postcards that come to
Chicago each day at this time of the
year from people Jaunting throughout
tho country on vacations were placed
end to end, the lino would reach a
distance of twenty miles.
Five hundred postcards laid on top
of each other form a pilo ono foot
high, and so, by careful figuring it Is
found that the total number of cards
coming to Chicago dally will form a
stack 200 feet high or equal to tho
height of some of Chicago's taller
buildings.
One little Innocent postcard often
makes tho postman walk two or three
floors higher than ho would go If ho
wero carrying only "legitimate" moll.
Frequently tho postmen return to the
offices and find that postcards have
compelled them to walk one-third far
ther than tho regular mall would havo
taken them.
The Chicago postofflco handles In
ono day moro postcards than any
other ofllco in the world under ono
roof. Tho vacation period brings one
half .as many cards to tho city as
docs Easter or Christmas time.

TWO GOOD GAMES FOR BOYS
"Aunt Gaily" and "Frere, On Me Bat,"

fiho herself Is a block of wood mado
In tho shapo of an old colored wom
an's head, and painted black. Sho
Is plnced on tho top of a polo sot In
tho ground, and her head Is decorated
with n frilled cup. You can also dress
her with a capo and a ruff, aB tho pic
turo Bliows; and do not forgot Aunt
Sally's pine. In fact, you may stick
several pipes In her mouMi, and also
in her cars, If you wish, for thnt Is
part of tho gaino.
The plnyora stand off about twenty
feet nnd throw sticks from twenty
inches to two feet in length, trying
to break tho pipes. Each player
throws In turn, nnd each sldo pipe
broken scoros one point, ench front
pipe two points.
Another good gamo for boys Ib ono
that comes from tho French, nnd Is
called "Frere, on mo bat," which,

whom must know tho gamo, and tho
other must never havo played It be

and must stand back to back, but not
close togethor. Tho ono who docs not

other players, who all stand around
tho brothers In a ring, will hit ono of
them with a knotted handkorchlof
from tlmo to tlmo. The ono who Is
hit must call out "Drothor, I am bob

you?" If tho hit ono answers cor

When he nBks "Who bobbed you?"
