THE "KNOCKER.

Knocking" in its present ugly signi-
icance is a comparatively new word, but
it stands for condition of mind as old
as man. This peculiar condition of mind
Is not desirable one and is found most
often in one who, while he believes that
the world owes him a living, has failed
to do ms part and collect it.
The "knoclIer" knocks hardest his enc
mics, who are invariably those who have
succeeded in doing what he might have
DONE but when enemies fail the ''knocker"
does not spare his friends.
He who knocks is jealous, ugly, selfish
and INDECENT. He spends time which could
be employed to advantage trying TO con-
vince the world that his enemies and
friends are as jealous, as ugly and selfish
as he Isl
Though the "knocker" aims at others,
he it is who is always hardest hit. Always
bruised and bleeding. he lays his soreness
and distress at someone else's door, but
the truth is that in knocking Others he
has injured himself.
The "lznocker" is not harmful, he makes
too much fuss, he talks too much, he
carries his hammer always in his hand,
everyone knows him.

glne was demolished and the baggage
car hurled 100 feet from the track The

THE BATTLE CRY OF
PATRIOTIC CITIZENS

1t is the duty of every Tacoma citizen
to call for Tacoma made goods, and make
it a point to have no other. ~.
The department store is cutting out the
small dealer and selling some things below
cost to make a hit Now, how can they
do Tacoma any good by sending East
for everything and selling below cost as
a bait? Eastern manufacturers of candy
don't pay taxes in Tacoma; they don't
help build up our city. Jolls makes as
good candy as can be made by any firm
in the East, and sells it at the lowest
price; then why not patronize a fellow
citizen in preference to an Eastern manu-
facturer?
"Home industry" should be our watch
word and we should help those who help
us. Every penny sent East out of Ia
coma is a penny less to help our own
city and its citizens. Therefore, again, |
say. let us buy goods made in Tacoma.
Tolls is working day and night in making
the best candies and is selling them at
the lowest possible prices.
Special rates to Sunday Schools,
Churches, Lodges. etc. SPECIAL SALE
OF CANDIES of the very choicest grades
each Fay at JOLLS', and all candies YOU
get at JOLLS are strictly HOME
MADE.

DEPORTATION FOR
ALIEN CRIMINALS

During the past month the officers of
the United States immigration bureau
have been preparing statistics showing the
number and names of all alien inmates of
the penal institutions of the state.
The object of securing this information
is to enable the officials to clear the
state of this undesirable element. As the
statistics show the expiring date of the
terms of all alien prisoners, it will be
possible to arrest them upon their re.
lease, for being unlawfully in the United
States. They will then be deported.

What one among the poor and needy

them. Two new frocks each year, simple
and severe in style. furnished the adoin-
ment for her charms. She did not care for
fine clothes nor for other little adornments
that other girls yearned for. She was ann
bilious. Once, after choir practice, when
she was walking along the roadway from
the little meeting house to her humble
home, she told girl chum that she be-
lieved woman, if she only triel could
reach the
HIGHEST POSITION IN THE LAND.
Il mean to do it, she added.
Perhaps the reason she did not become
wife of the president of the United States
is that her father soon after went to
Korea as missionary. Emily was his
jealous helper in the missionary field She
led the singing in the mission choir and
her beauty was reported to the king.
The king invited her and her father TO

This was where Emily Browns chance
