OBERLIN,Kansas(AP)一A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in l914,but its journey was much slower than Christmas.It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.The Christmas card was dated December 23,1914,and mailed to Eth-el Martin of Oberlin,apparently from her cousins in Alma,Nebrasks.

“It’s a mystery where it spent most of the last century,”Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.
