KEBLE D.
GALENA, ILLINOIS.
MORNA P.
SOUTH EVANSTON, ILLINOIS.
I am so glad you have published this little paper. I think it is the best thing I have ever seen. Papa reads it too, and thinks it is real nice for little folks. I like the story of the "Brave Swiss Boy" very much.
EFFIE T.
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
DEAR "YOUNG PEOPLE,"--I like you very much, especially the story of the "Brave Swiss Boy." The way I came to take you was this: father saw an advertisement in a paper, so he let me go up to a newsroom and get you.
ROBIE D. C.
HENRY F. B.--Electric ornaments are not easily obtained in this country, as but very few have been imported for sale.
MONTAGUE L.--It would occupy too much space to describe the game you require.
A. H. A.--There is no such class of people as you refer to. Exceptional cases may exist.
KATE S. .--Your puzzles are very neat for such a little girl to compose.
MARTHA W. D.--Your puzzle is good, but we are afraid our young readers would never make it out, as it requires an extraordinary amount of geographical knowledge.
Pleasant and welcome letters are acknowledged from Abraham L. M., Alie M. B., and Julien S. U.
F. B. H.--Thanks for your pretty operation in figures.
The following explanation of the name irreverently applied to the Bank of England is from Harry H. Bell, Louisville, Kentucky:
The Bank of England was founded in 1694. There is no bank equal to it in the management of national finances. It is located in Threadneedle Street. Cobbett called it "The Old Lady in Threadneedle Street," because, said he, the governors of the bank were, like old Mrs. Partington, an invented character of Sydney Smith's, trying with their broom to keep back the Atlantic waves of progress in national affairs.
