DEAR EDITOR:

I am one of your subscribers, and think THE GREAT ROUND
WORLD a very interesting little paper. Do you think the man
that went up in the balloon will succeed in finding the
North Pole? I hope he will, and when he comes back give us a
good history of it. And do you think that Cuba will get its
freedom? I hope it will.

Yours truly,
NEW PHILADELPHIA PA., LAURA G.


DEAR LAURA:

Great fears are entertained that Professor Andrée has fallen a victim to
his love for science, and is one more of the unfortunate men who have
lost their lives in their search for the Pole.

In regard to Cuba--unless Spain really gives the Cubans liberal home
rule that they can be happy under, they will certainly fight until they
are free.

EDITOR.
