OUR LETTER BOX

A. L. II (Coromandel).— Thanks Good local yarns of that kind are always acceptable.

St. Elmo.— But why send it to us ? Maurice Kees ng is the only recognised Esperanto authority.

R. W. B. (Tauranga). — Thanks, no. Suppo.se you give it to — well, what about the immortal Duf ty ?

Well Wishek.— Not having said it, vCe fail to see why the gentleman in question should excite himself.

Cyclops — Metre about as rocky as the Panruure Koa<l. Ask Paul Uamen for the loan of his steam roller.

F. 11. B. (Whanparei). — F.very week, if you like. Crisp pars are what we want — and above all, give us facts, not fiction

One Who Knows. — But it wasn't Frank Lawry who said it — it wa< C ri. Poole. Presumably, it is unnecessary to tell you " who is Poole."

Josh — We have read your an ti -Land Bill tirade, which " you reckon would tangle Sir Joe up." It would tangle anybody up. Don't you feel well ?

VV. W. A (Kawhia) — Your suggestion that F. E. Bauine should be made Minister of Mkatins Kinks is highly improper. The job, by rights, should belong to John Bollard, who would look well on skates.

A Friend in Nekd oi' \<>ur Papkr (Naum»ii. —We quite aerree that you appt-ar to be badly in need of the paper. Also of an English grammar and spelling book. What the dickens is your letter about ?

Bon Crown. — Might we delicately suggest that it is always preferable for poetry to rhyme '? Might we also suggest that correct spelling 13 not altogether a superfluity, also that punctuation comes in handy sometimes ? Excuae us for the liberty.
