"I did not forget it, but it amounted to nothing and they abandoned that plan, and I thought Ben could read that up for himself. I have noticed that if you tell him a part of a story he will go and find out the rest. The best way is, to tell him just enough to whet his curiosity." Dan was half-way to the barn before this remark was ended, but glancing back he saw Ben and Jack down on the grass _having it out_ in a regular "rough and tumble." F. H. [Illustration: BEN, DAN, AND JACK.] [Illustration: THE P.S. Corner] DEAR PANSIES: Will every one of you put on your "thinking caps" and give careful attention to what I am about to say? All summer I am to be away from home; in Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and I hardly know where else; flitting from one city to another, only a few days in a place. As a consequence, unless you pay close attention, I shall not be able to hear from you. Because letters will fail to reach me. But I shall have a secretary who will stay all summer at Chautauqua, Chautauqua Co., N. Y. If you address me _at that place_, she will get the letters, attend to the business part of them, and see that they are sent to me. Will you remember, and send letters to me at Chautauqua, instead of Cincinnati, or Carbondale, or any other place? This direction holds good for the months of June, July, August and September. After that, I will give you other information. Another thing, _do not send subscription money for_ THE PANSY _to me; but always to D. Lothrop & Co., Boston_. When you want badges, send name and pledge to me; also ten cents in postage stamps, unless you are a subscriber. Subscribers are entitled to badges free of charge. All letters about THE PANSY, or about your work or plans, all questions connected with the P. S. are to be sent to my address; but _remember_, when you want to subscribe for THE PANSY, send your dollar directly to Boston. Years ago we used to have a department in THE PANSY which met with much favor. This was a letter or article by the Editor, containing all the words which had been misspelled or improperly used during the month, by young correspondents; of course no names were mentioned. We have determined to begin in July, a similar exercise, continuing it so long as there shall be any call for it. If, during any month, all letters received have been correct as to spelling, punctuation, capitals, grammar, etc., you may know it by the absence of the "queer-looking" article the following month. Each member of the P. S. is expected to carefully read and correct the article. If you choose to report to me your success, I shall be glad; but this is not a rule.
