* * * * * AROYA STATION, COLORADO. I take much pleasure in reading all the letters and stories. I hope all the readers enjoy YOUNG PEOPLE as much as I do. Since my letter requesting exchange was published I have received many pretty things. I wish to inform the correspondents that I have no more specimens now, except enough to pay what I owe for favors I have received. I would request the correspondents not to send me anything more, as I could not make any return. CLARA F. R. SWIFT. * * * * * BARRANQUILLA, UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA. A happy time it is for me when the steamer from New York for South America arrives, and brings YOUNG PEOPLE. I pity the little correspondent who wrote in the Post-office Box about four feet of snow, for I believe it must be very cold there, although I have never seen snow yet. Here even now we have many blooming plants in our garden at Oasis, our beautiful country-seat, near Barranquilla. I am nine years old. I have my own horse, a deer, and a little circus. We have all tropic plants, and I should like to exchange some Southern, German, and French postage stamps, or dried flowers and leaves from the tropic zone, for all kinds of minerals. Letters and packages may be sent to my uncle in New York city, whose address is at the end of my letter, and who will forward them to me. He will also be kind enough to receive and forward my answers to correspondents. If any young readers would like to know more of my country, I will send another letter. JUDITH WOLFF, care of Mr. D. A. De Lima, 68 William Street, New York City. * * * * * PASSAIC BRIDGE, NEW JERSEY. I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much. Papa bought me the first volume bound. I have two kitties; one is white, the other is black. We call them Romeo and Juliet, because they are so loving; they always go to sleep with their paws around each other's necks. WINNIE V. * * * * * I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much. When I was in the White Mountains this summer I went to a silver and lead mine, where I got a number of specimens, which I should like to exchange for foreign postage stamps. Or to any one sending me twenty-five foreign postage stamps I will send forty-five foreign and United States postmarks. G. L. BRIGGS, P. O. Box 560, Brookline, Mass. * * * * * The following exchanges are also desired by correspondents: Postage stamps for curiosities, Indian relics, or anything suitable for a museum. SAMUEL CARPENTER, JUN., Oswego, Kansas. * * * * * Postmarks and foreign postage stamps. FRANK K. LIPPITT, Petaluma, Sonoma County, California.
