| Mr.. Everett T. Getchell, clerk in the Post
Office at Washington, D. c., is spending his
summer vacation in this, his native city, from
which he has been absent for upwards of
twenty years. Great changes have taken
place during that time, and but few of his for
mer associates were able to recognize the
young man in the prime of life as the lad who
shared their boyish sports "just twenty years
ago."
A bountiful supply of postal cards may now
be found at the Post Office in this city-the
first that have been received direct from The
department.. The Postmaster has been obliged
to purchase of the other offices to supply the
demand to a limited degree. One cent news
paper wrappers, of the new issue, have also
been received. The demand for Postal cards
and wrappers appear to be on the increase.
1t should be remembered that newspapers
weighing over two ounces require two cent
wrapper, an additional rate for every two
ounces. 1t is now stated that acquisitions by
Postmasters, for postal cards, can be filled
promptly by the department. Heretofore the
demand has been greater than the supply,
taxing the patience of postmasters almost in
sufierably by oblging them to wait for months
to have their acquisitions attended to.

to give little extra life and animation to the
