Dkah  EDiTOtt:— We  have  bwn  laklDK  your  val¬ 
uable  paper  some  time,  ami  I  have  been  very 
n)uch  Interested  In  the  letters  from  boys  and 
girls ;  BO  I  thought  1  would  write,  t<x».  I  live  on  a 
very  la  rge  tarm,  and  wo  raise  a  great  deal  of  poul¬ 
try.  I  have  raised  a  idee,  OCHik  of  turkeys  this 
year.  They  arc  very  troublesome,  but  I  like  to 
attend  10  them,  l  am  glad  to  »ee  some  of  the 
Cousins  like  to  piece  quilts;  1  delight  In  It.  I 
have  two  lovely  ones  on  hand  now;  both  are 
nearly  llnlshed.  Wc  were  vlMU-d  by  a  torUblo 
storm  last  Sunday :  it  did  considerable  damage.

Again  : 
Dear  Cousins;— It  is  quite  a  while  since  I  wrote 
to  you,  but  1  have  been  trying  to  write  over  since 
I  saw  YouNO  Kditok's  letter.  Ife  is  enough  to 
wake  any  boy  up,  and  1  liopo  bo  will  succeed  in 
arousing  others  who  are  bashful,  f  think  he 
ought  to  have  an  arrow  painted  on  each  side  of 
his  boat,  to  let  everybody  know  It  Is  swift..  I  hope, 
Y  E.,  If  you  go  to  the  Centennial,  you  will  let  us 
know  all  about  It.  1  wish  you  would  send  us  a 
Puzzle,  and  each  cousin  try  to  guess  It.  I  am 
f.ure  you  could.  i  hope  i.kna  13.  c.  will  toll  us  all 
about  her  leap-year  parties.— W a i/rEU  P.,  Ws. 
Welcome 
Dear  Cnci.e  anh  cousins:—!  have  been  think¬ 
ing  I  would  write  a  letter  to  the  Hukai.,  and  have 
eommeneed  two  or  three,  but  have  never  tlnlsln-d 
tliem.  1  am  very  fonil  of  music.  I  have  a  melo- 
deon  now,  but  1  am  going  to  have  n  jilano  this 
fall.  1  also  do  a  groat  deal  of  fancy  work.  This 
lathe  llivit  jeavw'e  have  taken  the  Kikai.,  and 
we  like  It  verj'  much,  l  am  thirteen  years  old, 
and  weigh  ninety  pounds.  As  this  ts  my  nrst 
lettor  to  the  Kuiui.,  T  hope  to  see  it  In  print,  l 
fancy  It  will  not  be  rejected  on  account  of  Its 
length.  With  kind  wlahes  to  all  the  (;ouslns,  t  re¬ 
main— Winn  IlAWTflORN. 
A  Suggestion  for  Y.  E. 
As  I  have  a  few  ralnulcs  to  spare,  1  thought  I 
would  write  to  the  Hokat..  I  am  a  boy  and  live 
on  a  farm.  M  e  are  through  with  our  harvest,.  1 
went  to  a  camp  meeting  la.st  Sunday  week,  and 
expect  to  go  to  another  next  Sunday.  l  ihlnk  the
