this kind of wheel would ever become very popular; for while four miles
and three quarters might be ridden with much peaceful enjoyment, the
last quarter of a mile would be filled with terrors that would spoil the
pleasure of the nicest ride ever attempted.

LETTERS FROM OUR YOUNG FRIENDS.


DEAR EDITOR:

Where can the "pocket protector" and scissors-sharpening
machine, mentioned in THE GREAT ROUND WORLD, be obtained.
MRS. M.F.

NORTHFIELD, MINN., Aug. 4th, 1897.


DEAR MADAM:

We are not able to tell you where the above articles are manufactured,
but you could obtain them through the agency of any reliable,
first-class hardware store. In all such stores they have illustrated
catalogues of the various articles manufactured in their line of goods,
and you should have no difficulty in finding both the pocket protector
and the scissors sharpener.
