 Many Letters to Answer.
 Some months ago asked for the ad- dress of F. w.. which you very kindly gave me. It was about thirty days from the time her letter appeared in the Corner before I wrote. Her letter appealed to me rorcibly, and I'll confess it was selfish motive that prompted me to write Tier, IIfOIc tIldA d uColiC u oS1Ao AASA ASeAA ing matter. I sometimes write fiction stories. In this womans letter I saw a beautiful plot. and wrote in an effort to secure more material on which to work. Knowing she was possibly not near sta tionery store, sent both paper and post age for a reply, also offered to send her some of the magazines have. Doubtless she has had lot of reading matter sent her, and, as my letter was late, she prob ably did not care for more. would like so much to hear from her. and if she does not write me hope she will write another letter to the Corner soon. L.C."
 We have had other letters complaining of lack of response from F. w.. and print the above in order to accompany it with an explanation. F. w. has had more than fifty letters and parcels sent her. and although do not for a moment question her delight in receiving such generous response, must point out that such g batch of mail involves much writing in reply Time must be allowed her to an- swer the most pressing letters. and have no doubt she will in due season comnnunl- cate with all those who accompanied their letters or gifts with addresses and postage for reply. It will not do to put her down as careless or unappreciative because she is little slow in writing. Personally wish to thank the many who were so ready and free in their response to her appeal.

Hungry for Reading Matter.

As the wife of a hOmeSteader in this lonely country, may beg of some sym pathetic reader literature of any kind? Until one leaves all and undertakes life in the homestead country one never realizes how difficult it is to sustain ex- istence. Literature. music. society, en- tertainment, variety in any single thing. is of the past and may be of the future, but for the present strict simplicity and mo- notony obtain. There are times when one's hunger for reading matter domi- mates all. and that is how feel just now.

 This heartfelt appeal trust may touch the hearts of others than myself, and may carry with it some of the force put into it by the writer. know the generosity of the Cornerites well enough to be sure of applications for the address of this cor respondent. They can hardly do a more kindly thing than endeavor to satisfy this :" hunger for reading matter" Most of us have known it, sooner or later. but few have been so fortunate as to be unable to sratify the longing in some way.

 How to Make Bead Portiercs.
 In answer to E. H.

Roll it with hat pin. beginning at the widest place. When almost rolled put paste on the small end and stick it fast. In string ing the beads put four glass beads-two silver and two gold-between two of the wall paper cigars Tor beads1, five on the end of the string. and any number ct the other end to make the right size to slip on the pole. In cutting out the wall paper you can cut a good many at a time if q number of pieces are laid together and pinned. have cut out as many as seven at one cutting.

 The correspondent who asked prayers for the little girl did not give her ad- dress and we have never heard if the child's eyes were helped or not. Some times our prayers are answered in diff ferent way from what we ask. but the reply comes no less directly from the love of our heavenly Father than if our peti- tions were granted precisely as we would have chosen for ourselves.

ENTHUSIASM REIGNS
AT SPORT Meeting
Citizens Committee Offers to Help Po-
lice in Promoting Track Games
September 10.

enthusiasm ran high at the meeting
OF those in charge of the coming track
meet to be held by the police depart
ment at the Willard Hotel last night
and from the present indications the
games will prove one Of the best ever
held in Washington. Nothing definite
was done in the way OF deciding the Off
cial program for the policeman athletes,
but from the financial outlook, the police
pension fund will be swelled to no small
degree.
Maj Raymond Pullman, Commission
Brownlow, Capt. Flathers, of precinct
No s; r. p. Andrews. and various others
spoke on the financial lines of the COM
ing meet. while DR.. Robert Eller, who
Is in charge of the training and naming
the events, spoke upon the duties he
has in hand
1t is the purpose of DR. Eller to bring
here the famous New York police stars
to compete in Washington's first meet of
this kind and should these plans carry
through. the Washington followers OF
athletics will get their first chance to
see several of the Olympic stars in ac-
ton here.
Considering the fact that this meet is
20 be held for the benefit of the police
mems families, there is hardly a doubt
but that both the financial and enter
tainment ends will be all that can be
expected and on September l6, when the
men will compete. Washington citizens
will get their first chance TO show their
appreciation to the police department for
its work.
