KNOCKERS.

Heaven Il ey'll want the bricks In
the golden streets taken up and
laid some other way" said n re-
preventative man the other day
and that called to mind n few
knockers. The fellows that never
see anything to admirc-that only
work to draw their pay--that
could do things so much better
than some one clsc-that fear
every progressive move will fail
that stay out Of everything until
II Is fashionable and then trot
along into the band wagon and
holler "iust look what We did"
are not in demand and are only
tolerated to keep from having q
missing link In the chain of ex-
istcncc. II you are one of this
class brace up and be n man. II
you cant say anything good keep
still and let your little narrow soul
dry up and go back to mother
earth where II will be of more SER
vice.
ENTERpRIsr.
"Onc good determined. enter
prising man X worth more to n
community than one hundred men
equally as good but with no pur-
pose save that OF existence" wns
Whit our good old family doctor
told us one day shortly before his
death and how often those words
have found their application since
that day. The reason so many
men never do anything is because
they are afraid they will fail.
That fear makes them droncs In
the beehive Of enterprise. Good
business judgment, close applica-
tion and an even temper are the
boon companions of success as
well as the arch enemy Of failure.
There are six trusts OF success Of
which the above are three; the
other three are: work-hard, work.
more, hard work. This IL enter
prise.
THE PROPER THING.
In the light Of recent develop
mcnt II has been discovered that
the proper thing for parent To do
when n teacher corrccts his child,
Is to whip the teacher. OF course
oven that has some draw bncks
but then one will find ups and
downs anywhere.
a TERRIBLE COST.
"Sny." said the reformed man.
"did you ever figure out what II
costs to have your money handled
in Chicago2 sent $4,000 down
there to bc handled and 1t cost all
but $500 of II to handle It n
month";" at must be n terrible
expense to pump air clear to the
top of those sky scrapcrs."
LEST WE FORGET.
1.-The greatest of these Is char
ity," II God has blessed you with
money remember you must pay
him the interest in good deeds.
The poor must not suffer.
BRICK BATS.
How often the air Is filed with
brick bats when II should be filled
with roses. Roses you know. have
thorns which In some cases dctract
from their sweetness. Brick bats
raise bumps which live in memory
long after nature has absorbed
them. While the thorns pain the
fingers the sweetness of the rose :
Is wafterd over all. OF course nc
one would dare suggest a moral.
ONCE MORE.
II Is suggested to our City Faith
ers to put the bucket shops on the
special tax list. An institution
that takes $50, 900 out OF town in a
week is able to pay a pretty stiff
tax. Wake up city Dads, wake
up.
A PROBLEM.
Under the surface comes a rippl,

Club. For the benefit OF thai
