We do not understand your question about the bicycle car. Explain it
more fully, and we will do our best to answer it.

EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR:

I am very much interested about Spain and Cuba and the Philippine
Islands, and about the elephants that live in India. I have lately
taken your paper, which comes every week. I have read the first
paper over and I like it very much.

Yours truly,
J.S.F.

Many thanks.

DEAR EDITOR:

I am very much interested in your little paper. It has a great deal
in it for such a little paper. I give it to my teacher. I do not
write many letters so far away as you are, as I live on the other
side of the Great Lakes. I like most of all to hear about the wars,
and hope that Cuba and Greece will win.

I think I had better close now.

Yours truly,
ALWINA S.
MANKATO, MINN.

DEAR ALWINA:

Do not think that you must not write to us because you are far away. For
that very reason there must be numbers of things going on around you
which would be strange to us, and which we would much like to hear
about. Write often, and let the kind post-office show you that you are
not so very far away, after all.

EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR:

Being much interested in your paper, THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, with
its clever and helpful articles, I write to obtain some information
about the "Jingoes." What does the name mean? Where did it
originate, and what have they to do with Cuba?

Your earnest reader,
PRUE.
TARRYTOWN, N.Y.

DEAR PRUE:

You will find Jingoes and Jingoism described in the article on the
passing of the Morgan resolution in this number.

EDITOR.

DEAR EDITOR:

I have read in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD about the little singing mouse
and was very much interested with it.

We have not heard much of the Cuban war lately, and the first
account of it that you get please put in the paper.

Yours truly,
EDMUND M.
