THE GAME. OF POSTWAR.

POSTWAR is a very lively game.
quick movement and a scramble for
places being the life of it. Boys and
girls of every age find it immensely
entertaining. 1t may be played by an
unlimited number. the more the mer-
rier. The only thing to prepare for it
is list of cities and towns equal to
the number of players. One of the
players is selected as the postmaster
and another as the postman. Having
removed as much furniture from the
room as possible, arrange chairs
around the walls and have the players
occupy them. There must be no empty
chair; this is essential. The postmas-
ter gives to each player the name Of
a city or a town, and then blindfolds
the postman and places him in the
center of the room. The postmaster
himself stands where he can overlook
the players. Everything being ready,
the postmaster begins the game by
saying, for example: Il have sent
letter from New York to Boston" The
moment he has spoken. the players
representing New York and Boston, re-
spectively, get up and move quickly to
change places. 1t is the object of the
blindfolded postman to catch one Of
them as they run, or to take possession
OF one of their chairs. If he succeeds
in doing either. the player he has
caught, or whose chair he has taken,
has to become postman. The pcstmas-
ter IS not changed unless he becomes
tired. If you get good one, keep him,
for much depends on the readiness
with which he calls the mails between
the cities. This is the jolliest kind of
game and there is just enough romp-
ing in it to do boys and girls a lot ds
good.-Los Angeles Times.
ONE OBSTACLE OVERCOME.
Willie was a bright boy, of an in
ventive turn of mind. At the age of
eight or ten he was seized with the
perpetual motion idea and began to
make all sorts of queer machines, de-
spite the advice of his father, who told
him of men that had devoted their
lives in a vain search for perpetual mo-
ton. 1T violates the first principles
of mechanics, my boy" said his father
Action and reaction are equal. as you
will understand some day. When you
can pull yourself up by your boot
straps, you may hope to invent ma
chine that will start itself and run
without stopping" The next day Will.
lie came to his father ill great excite
ment and told him he had done it
had pulled himself up by his boot
straps. Its no trick at ALL he said,
as he led the way to the barn, where
he showed his bewildered father pair
of old boots nailed, soles up, to beam
overhead. Therei' he exclaimed, as he
climbed on a box. reached up, ran his
fingers through the straps of the boots
and pulled himself up. What do you
think of that?'' Willie's father did
net reply in words. Instead, he took
a. harness strap, and then and there
Willie gave an imitation of perpetual
motion which required no elaborate
apparatus.--Youth's Companion

Iron MAN rAKEs A VALE.

IRON MAN TAKES "A WAAH<
A story-writer who catered to the
boys of fifteen or twenty years ago
built up many thrilling tales about
mechanical continuance in the form OF
a man. Such Hercules.
the Iron Man"-was actually on exhi-
bition last summer at Cleveland park.
and the Leader tells of one of the
walks he took. Hercules is eight feet
high, and when the oil fire inside him
is lighted and steam is generated. he
walks about, pushing sort OF IRON
wheeled cart. He wears a tall hat and
hideous grin. and puffs exhaust
steam through his nostrils. Late one
night some of the campers at the park
lighted the fire in Hercules after the
resort was closed and the owner OF
the figure had gone away. The valve
had been left open when the fire was
put out, and when steam was gener-
ated again the man began to walk
about the park. For a little while he
surpassed Frankenstein's monster. No
one knew how to stop him, and he
walked all over the park, through the
shallow lake, over the tents OF the
campers and the side-show tents.
Sleepers in his path had to be awak-
ened to get them out of the way, for
it was impossible to control the steam
mans movements. Inequalities in the
ground, trees and other distractions
turned him aside. but did not stop him
He terrorized the park for an hour.
but. like many a human being, came
to grief at the bar. He marched up to
it and knocked it over. Hercules fell
with the bar and alighted on his head
on the other side. He stood there on
his head. kicking his feet in the air,
until his steam went down.-Youth's
Communion

government.
The instrument was drawn up by
Jose Albino Chacon. alcalde Justice

for the district OF Santa Fe. on the 9Th
day Of February. 1876. II Is written in
a beautiful round hand. which Is al
most as easy to read as print. and in
excellent Spanish. as the language
was spoken ut that time, showing that
Senor Chacon was highly educated

The land Is declared by natural land

OF conquest, figuratively speaking. he
and his two brothers adopted the ad.
ditional name of Chavcs.
Many are the distinguished men.
both In political as well as military
l.fc. who have been members OF this
family. but foremost among them all
was undoubtedly General Chavcs.
When years old he moved with his
family to Abiquiu. near the same spot
where he died. Early in life he took an
interest in public affairs. He impress
ed his neighbors with his energy and
his intelligence. At the time Abiquiu
was near the frontier from which the
hostile Indians swept over the terri.
tory. leaving death and devastation in
their tracks. This inflicted much suf-
fering upon the pioneers of those days
and retarded the progress of the terri.
tory considerably. The Utes. the Apa.
ohes, the Comanchcs. the Navalocs
and other Indian tribes would plumber
and murder whenever and wherever
opportunity offered itself to them. This
warfare implanted courage and bold
ness In the settlers. and General Cha
vos was soon among the leaders
against the Indians.
At the age of 10 he was lieutenant In
the urban militia and was promoted
later to auxiliary captain commander
of squadron in the army of Mexico
In 1918 he received the appointment
of lieutenant in the Mexican army
was advanced to inspector of arms in
the Rito Ojo Caliente and other points
and later to lieutenant colonel. Soor
sitter New Mexico became n part o.
the United States he was commission
ed brlgadler general in the militia. HI
led several successful campaign.
against the Navajoes In that capacity
being the commander.in-chief in iiv'
expeditions against those Indians ant
a subordinate officer In six other In
dian campaigns.
In civil life General Chaves was M
less distinguished. He served unde
three governors of Spain all the Mexi
can governors and all of the governor
appointed by the United States thu
far. In early youth he was baillf
and later n member of the governing
council. under the regime of Spain.

THAT CUT OFF DEAL.
Santa Re Official Discusses the Rock
Island Traffic Alliance.

island |raTitc Alliance.
In regard to the rumored traflc alli-
ance between the Santa Fe and Rock
Island, which has been going the
rounds of the press the following in
terview attributed to prominent
Santa Fe official" In the FL Paso Her
aid is of interest;
when the line is completed 1t will
give not only the Santa Fe short cut
to California. but 1t will also give the
Rock Island system a shorter line To
California than they have at present
by FL Paso and the Southern Pacific
and | think Il safe to say that the Rock
Island will take advantage of this short
line and make traffic agreement with
the Santa Fe whereby the latter lire
will handle the traffic between the
crossing Of the Eastern Railway Of
New Mexico and the Rock Island and
California. as that will give the Rock
Island almost straight line into Los
Angeles and will materially shorten
the distance to other California points.
"Of course, at the present time moth.
line hut II Is safe TO say that at this
stage the Rock Island people cannot
afford 20 overlook this chance To get to
California by shorter route tnan they
have at present and they will certainly
take advantage OF it,"
