DUN. since Jnen L nave Deen AaTO dL WOrk,
collecting and boarding, until now I can
boast one hundred and seventy-seven cards,
thirty-four Of which are distributed among
and represent eleven different foreign coun-
tries. Partly thru my ambition a number
of other boys in the neighborheed have also
started collections; of them has collected
one hundred and ffty-seven cards in about
five months and has ten foreign countries
represented. There many stores now
that keep souvenir cards of not only Amer
lean scenes but foreign that it is not very
hard to gather very pretty and instructive
collection; for believe that a picture of
historical or otherwise noted place keeps
fresh in the mind not only the place but the
conditions and facts woven in and about it.
A person looking at picture of Bunker
Hill monument, for instance, sees not only the
tall spire but the battle fought there which
in turn brings him to the Revolutionary war
and it's causes. Thus we may see that this
hobby may not only be amusement for ones
self but interesting to others. ~-..
