Cartoon published in the
Chicago Daily Tribune, illustrating April Fool pranks played in the city:
Yesterday was All Fool's Day, as thousands of Chicagoans found out to their discomfort. New numbers went into effect north of Twelfth street, which contributed somewhat to the confusion of messengers and others in similar lines of employment. The usual rush of calls for 'Mr. Rover' and 'Mr. Barker' swamped the dog pound phone, while even the county morgue had more calls than it could handle for '_r. Stiff.' Other hoaxes of our childhood days were present in usual numbers.
