I am a little girl twelve years old. My mother on my birthday gave
me $1.50 for my birthday present, with which I subscribed for
HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. I have a pet deer, and it is very cute. I
have a little brother four years old, who enjoys hearing YOUNG
PEOPLE read to him. He calls it singing. He repeats many of the
verses in "Pinafore Rhymes." I have another brother, sixteen years
old, who likes to hunt deer. He shot one and went to cut its
throat, and it jumped up and ran off. My brother is trapping now;
he caught an owl in his trap this morning, which I would like to
keep for a pet. My brother and I enjoy reading HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE very much, and could not do without it.
