Paxton, Illinois.
I take Young People, and I like to read the letters from the little folks. I am ten years old, and am in the fourth room and "A" class at school.
I had a velocipede, but it is broken. I have a horse and a saddle and bridle, and I ride a good deal.
My little sister is three years old, and I am making a play-house for her. She bit my ear so hard I had to cry. Mamma asked her what made her bite brother's ear. She said, "Brother hurt his ear on my teeth."

In the hot weather we keep our doors open at night, and one night a little opossum got in, and in the morning we found it curled up in papa's hat. I kept it for a few days, but once when I went away it ran off. I am seven years old.
