Independence hall was built as the
state house Of the Pennsylvania colo
NAL government. 1t was finished in
1874 and cost $2S,OOO--regarded at
the time as an extravagant sum to put
into a public building. The bell for
its belfry was imported from Eng
land. It was cast in 1852. On its
trial ringing IT cracked. 1t was re-
cast in 1853 by Pass & Stow of Phil
adelphia. Isaac Norris, Esq, speak
er Of the Pennsylvania assembly, had
charge of the recasting, and IT was
at his suggestion that the words of
Holy Writ were cast upon fillets
around it's crown-words so strangely
prophetic Of the great day to come %

9th June, 1920.
Dear Bruce (Brice) Hayes:
am writing on behalf of my
school friend, Philip Sturt because
he received so many letters that
he was unable to answer all OF
them himself. We received your
welcome letters at the beginning Of
April and our teacher read them to
us and was surprised to hear that
the letters we sent had been re-
ceived at high school. must
admit that the school I attend is
not high school. have entered
for scholarship and If l pass the
oral exam, having passed the first
part, l shall be entitled to so to the
County School go,
am in the English organization
Of Boy Scouts and our motto is.
BE prepared" In August there Is
going to be Scout Jamboree, or
tournament. and 10000 American
Scouts are coming over. There
are many Scouts Of different ma
tionalities coming to perform and
view this international contest
also. If you are in the Scouts will
you be coming to the Jamboree? l
have heard that the American
Scouts are having wireless set up
between here and America.
l would like to ask you a few
questions il you will be willing to
answer them for me. Do you live
in a log cabin or a brick house? l
live in a brick house and 1t has 8
rooms, a bath room and q scullery.
Do you ride to school or do you
walk? l walk because my home Is
about S minutes walk from the
school.
What do the factories In your
town produce? In this Richmond.
there are no factories, but where l
was born, in Durham. there are
plenty which produce cotton goods.
What is a coyote Like? Is it like
a fox? l have read that the North
American Indians used its call to
summon their braves.
Does your father possess any
fields, and if so. what crops does
he grow?
My father is an electrical and
mechanical engineer. He has been
doing some work in Wales putting
down what is called an electrical
plant, that is, putting down ma
chimes which make the electricity
for the light and heating appar-
atus. My father has fitted electric
light all over our house and my
mother uses an electric iron to
press our clothes with.
l noticed in your letter that you
play base ball. In the books my
father reads there are many stories
about baseball, and ! think it must
be very exciting game. When
you write again, please tell me
about baseball. ! hope to hear
from you soon.

LIVES NEAR A REAL
PALACE IN ENGLAND

Richmond, England:
2 Crown Terrace,
Richmond, Surrey.
24-4, 1920
Dear American Cousin Your
welcome letter has been read to
the class. and | thought | should
like to answer it. Judging from
the description which you gave of
Richmond in Indiana, that part Of
the country must be very beautiful
and interesting.
Near our town also we have many
lovely scenes. Throngs of people
come from all parts of the globe to
view them. One of the most fam
Gus is the scene from the Hill. The
trees with their dense foliage
make a picturesque background,
while in the foreground one can
see the River Thames winding it's
way along. Dotted here and there
are islands with overhanging trees
bending low in the water. and
swaying lightly in the wind. Lit
tie pleasure boats. sail by, while
larger craft go lazily up and down
stream. Another place of interest
is Kew Gardens. A new flag staff
from Vancouver has just been
erected. 1t stands high above any
of the other trees in the Gardens.
Richmond was known in History
as Shene, and there are many
places that are famous for their
old associations. "The Old Pal
ace" was built in Norman Times,
Queen Elizabeth died in it 1903,
and although little of the original
building remains, the room in
which the Queen died still stands.
The names of some of the roads
indicate that a monastery or fri
airy stood-one of these is Friars'
Stile Road.
The Royal International Horse
Show was held on the 18th, 18th.
and 18th of June. Crowds of peo-
lie came from all parts to Rich
