umped over our
fence into our yard. It ran through the yard and back again, when
a gentleman shot it. The boy dragged it away, and I did not see it
any more. We live in the heart of the city of Chicago. I would
like to exchange pressed flowers with "Wee Tot," and will send her
some pressed jasmine.

I would like to exchange pressed flowers or shells, or any pretty
curiosity, with readers of YOUNG PEOPLE in other localities, but
especially in the Southern and far Western States and Territories.
I liked the letters from Gertrude Balch and Charles W. S. very
much, and wish they would write again. I tried to make a tombola,
and succeeded admirably. Do you know who was the inventor of the
15-13-14 puzzle?

LAURA BINGHAM, Lansing, Michigan.

The famous puzzle is said to have been invented by a poor deaf and dumb
man living in a small country town in New England, but we can not
substantiate the statement.

I have been in the woods to a picnic to-day, and have been reading
the letters in YOUNG PEOPLE'S Post-office Box this evening. I have
no pets, as most little girls. I had a redbird, but it died. I
would like to exchange pressed leaves with little girls in other
localities.

If "Genevieve," of California, will send me her address, I will
press her some flowers that grow here, and send them to her. I
live in a little village not far from Chicago.

In HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE No. 22 "Genevieve," of California, asks
some little girl to press some specimens of Eastern flowers, and
exchange with her. I will be happy to do so.

My little sister takes YOUNG PEOPLE, and I read it, and like it
very much. I have tried Nellie H.'s rule for candy, and it is
splendid. I go to school, and have a good teacher. I had two pet
rabbits last summer. I am nine years old.
