My brother has taken YOUNG PEOPLE for me since the first number. He
says it is a splendid paper for children, because it contains no
trash. We like it so much we are going to have it bound.
I have two pet cats. Dick is the name of one. He is seventeen
years old, and was born in the barn on the same day that my
brother was born in the house. I call them twins. The other cat I
call Kitty. She was born about one week before my other brother,
and is fourteen years old. She is getting very weak now, and we do
not think she will live as long as Dick, who is still very lively.
