they always made up after it. The yellow one was very tame, and
would come right to our hands to eat. The lightest one died, and
the others we gave away, but we were very sorry to part with them.

FROGGIE.

The following was written in big printed letters:

If you put Froggie's letter in your paper, I hope you will put
mine in. I can't write as he can, because I am only five years
old. I like your paper very much. Froggie reads it to me, and I
read the pictures myself. I like that picture of the pussy.

We were very glad to see that story of Colonel Gregg in No. 19,
for he was one of our ancestors. We have a parrot from the Isle of
Pines, which seems to be a very smart bird. I would like to know
if there is any particular way by which we can teach it to talk.

I live on the prairie between the Arkansas and Smoky Hill rivers.
My nearest playmate is a mile and a half away, and I am very glad
when YOUNG PEOPLE comes. Can you tell me who has been considered
the most famous man in the world?

LULU A. G.

There have been so many "famous men," that it would be difficult to
place any one among them at the head of the list.

I am ten years old, and I live in Dickinson County, Kansas. We
have three dogs--Queen, Cetchum, and Custer--and we have use for
them all. Pa uses Queen to hunt prairie-chickens with, and Queen
and Cetchum hunt rabbits by themselves. We have gray rabbits and
jack rabbits. The jack rabbits are very large, and have long ears.
Pa says they are very much like the English hare. We have a great
many peaches and grapes and water-melons, and there are bad men
and boys that sometimes steal them. In the summer I tie Queen in
the peach orchard every night. If she hears anything, she barks
very loud, and then Custer runs to help her. If any man is there,
he is sure to be bitten. Custer is an English bull-dog, and a
great fighter. He can whip a wolf. We have a great many wolves
here, and they are so bold that if we did not keep dogs, they
would come round the house in the daytime, and steal young pigs
and lambs and chickens.
