OUR LETTER BOX

Woodside.— Try, but please be careful. R.M.L. —Please don't send along any more like that. B.C. — Yes, Myra Kemble was round the colony a year or eighteen months ago. Cosmos. — All coupons should bo at the Observer office by to-morrow Friday. Ergo.— We agree with you. That particular Abbott will never be canonized as a saint. W.P.— Sorry you don't like it, William, but would it not be better to keep away from the barmaids. Caledonian. — Your contention is quite right. We fail to see why the Amateur Athletic Club should not have given way. F.R.P., Hawke's Bay.— The Observer is now in its fourteenth year. A large proportion of the prizes last year went to the country. Gumdigger.— lt is perfectly true, as you say, that higher prices were being paid in town last week than were quoted in the local daily papers. Chainshot.— lf your country items have not been inserted, the fault must be with yourself. Whatever is not suitable is remorselessly relegated to the waste paper basket. E.L.P. — We don't know whether a man can be compelled to bury his horse if it dies near a township in the jiing Country, but we certainly think there ought to be a law in that direction. E.U., Dunedin. — Many thanks for your compliments. The pictures and tales in our Christmas Number are all original, and the pictures were produced "by means of our photo-zincographic process. Sceptic— Better try to get over your scepticism. There is very little likelihood of Seddon accepting knighthood even if the ' honour' were offered him. He is not a skin-deep Eadical of the Stout kind, and we are inclined to think he is proof against such temptations. W.B. — It may be as you say, that a man is entitled to all the interest that he can gel out of his customer, but we don't think so. Extortionate interest screwed out of a needy or distressed victim is as much a robbery as if you put your hand into the man's pocket and stole coin from him. R.A.P., Port Albert.— Many thanks for the Faith, Hope, and Charity. If you win a prize, we will see that it is sent to you all right. We cannot fceni the value of any particular prize instead of the article for the sufficient reason that the articles are already purchased. We shall always be glad of correspondence from your district, but we cannot insert reports of meetings. They are more suitable for newspapers. Glad to have short, bright personal items.
