My father takes YOUNG PEOPLE for my brother and sister and myself.
We think there could not be a more interesting paper published.
"The Moral Pirates" is about the best story I ever read. I wonder
if it is true?

I am having a great deal of fun this vacation. I read two hours
every day. I am now reading the _Life of Benjamin Franklin_. I
enjoy it very much.

I am making a collection of stones, and will exchange stones from
the shore of Lake Erie for specimens from other places of note.

WILBUR T. MILLS,
Cleveland, Ohio.

As Cleveland is a very large city, we doubt if this address is
sufficient, and we will gladly print a fuller one if our young
correspondent will send it.

I would like to exchange seeds of the sensitive plant for seeds or
roots of rare plants growing in the far West or in the most

I am a constant reader of your splendid paper. I enjoy "The Moral
Pirates" very much.

I brought two mud-turtles from the country this summer. One is so

flies.

I have a small collection of postmarks, and I should like to
exchange with any boy reader of YOUNG PEOPLE in the West.

A. J. DOHRMAN,
557 Henry Street, Brooklyn, New York.

I wish the correspondent who sent me a piece of colored marble

name.

I shall be glad to exchange shells or minerals with
