DEAR HARVEY:

It has been discovered that the air and conditions of the atmosphere on
Mars are the same as those of our own planet, the Earth, and so
astronomers have decided that Mars may be inhabited. EDITOR.



DEAR MR. EDITOr:

I am nine years old, and like to read about Spain and Cuba in
your paper, THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, because it makes it
plainer to me than the daily papers do. A long time ago I wanted
to go there, but I have changed my mind. One reason why I wanted
to go was, Cuba has been fighting bravely, and the murderous
Spaniards have no mercy for men, women, or children, if they
sympathize with the Cubans.

Wishing your paper years of success, I remain,

Your fond reader,
CHARLIE N.S.
