BEER AT CARISBROOK.
Sir, — Your correspondent “ Observer ” seems to know all the ways of getting that awful drink, beer, into Oarisbrook. He talks about smuggling the liquor in over-deep coat pockets, cushions, or violin cases, and later he asks that the police should take action. Now, sir, how could the police search everybody, including women? “ Observer ’’. must bring in the children. “ Ragged urchins ” he calls them, " who crawl round legs to reach the rich harvest of empties.” I say, good on the youngsters for having the gumption to do this. Many a man has made his money at this trade.—l am, etc.. Leave Kiddies Alone. August 19.
