tell me how many.

From your friend,
CHEYENNE, WYO. ELSIE K. (age 11).



DEAR ELSIE:

In reply to your letter about the Brooklyn Bridge.

It is only arranged to save people climbing up-stairs. It is easy enough
to go down-stairs, but it is the climbing up that people dislike, and the
new elevator is to save this trouble.

It will take up three thousand passengers an hour, and if it is the
success it promises to be, six of these lazy-man's staircases will be put
into use.

It is the same size as the staircase of which it is to take the place.
