where the fire was. The fire started in a grocery store
belonging to Hanson Brothers, about 7:30 o'clock. This grocery
is No. 1317 Market Street. From there the fire spread to an
umbrella store, which had the numbers 1309 to 1313 Market
Street. From there a spark set fire to Wanamaker's store; it
started there in the large clock tower, which soon after was a
mass of flames. It fell with a loud crash soon after. The fire
spread to the woodwork of the City Hall, where it was soon put
out.

DEAR EDITOR:

I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much, and anticipate
their coming.

I receive them from my auntie of New York City. She reads them
first, and then sends them to me.

They are very enjoyable, and as I am just in the interesting
part of school, they help me very much. Perhaps you would like
to know where Maywood is. It is a suburb of Chicago.

A very pretty place, and so much nicer than living in the city,
because here we have fresh air and green grass.
