Don't Be a KuOcker.


The American Printer gives this bit
of advice to persons who are full of
bile:
If your neighbor is prosperous, let
him prosper. Don't grunt, growl, or
grumble. Say a good word for him
and let go atthat. Don't be knocker
Your turn will come. No man is the
whole show. If you see the town is
moving along nicely, feel good about
it. Help things along. Shove little.
Push. Try and get some of the benefit
yourself. Don't stand around like
chilly old cadaver. Don't waste your
time feeling sore because some fellow
has little more sand and sense than
you have. Do little hustling your
self. Don't be knocker.
If you can say a good word, say it
like a prince. Ifyou are full of bile and
disposed to say something mean, keep
your mouth shut. Don't be a knocker.
Nc man ever made a dollar knocking.
No man ever got rich or happy minding
everybody's business but his own. No
man ever helped himself up perma-
nently by knocking his neighbor down.
Give up a kind word. Give it literally.
1t won't cost you cent and you may
want one yourself some day. You may
have thousands to-day and next year
be without the price of shave. SO
don't be a knocker. You can't afford
1t. 1t won't pay. There's nothing in
it. If you want to throw something at
somebody, throw cologne. Or roses.
Don't throw brick-bats. Or mud
Don't be knocker. If you must kick,
go around behind the barn and take
good kick at yourself. For if you feel
that way, you're the man that needs
kicking. But, whatever you do, don't
be knocker.
If there is chance to boom business.
boom it. Don't be a knocker. DON'T
pull long face. Hope a bit. Get
smile on you. Hold up your head.
Get hold with both hands. Then pull.
Bury your hatchet. Drop your toma-
hawk. Hide your little hammer. When
a stranger drops in tell him this is the
greatest town on earth. 1t is. Don't
get mulish. Don't roast. Be Jolly.
Get popular. It's dead easy. Help
yourself along Push your friend with
you. Soon you'll have whole process.
sion. Be good fellow.
No man ever got rich trying to make
people believe that he was the only
good man on earth. You can't climb
the ladder of fame by stepping on other
peoples corns. They're their corns;
not yours Then they're tender Keep
| off the corns.
All men are not alike. Once in a
while you may find one who is very
much alike. But some are different
You're not the only shirt in the wash
If you don't like their style let 'em
alone. Don't knock. You'll get used
to it. There's no end of fun in mind
| ing your own business. And it makes
other people like you better. Better
have others get stuck on you than get
stuck on yourself. Nobody gets stuck
on knocker Don't be one. Be good.

Charles M. Schwab: | am positive
that business will now show an i'm
provement. Politics has been playing
a very significant figure in the past
two years in all branches of trade. |
am unable to ascribe any definite rea-
son for the fact, business men have
been somewhat worried concerning
the recent election. Consumers hold
orders in allegiance. But now that the
question has been satisfactorily ad-
iusted, anticipate great revival in
business"
An exchange condenses a whole lot
of truth into the following paragraph:
There is only one way to advertise and
that is to hammer your name, your
business and your location constantly,
so persistently and SO thoroughly into
the prople's heads that if they walked
in their sleep they would constantly
turn their faces towards your store.
The newspaper is your best friend in
spite of your criticism. 1t helps to
build up the community that supports
you. When the day comes that the
newspapers are dead the people are
near the edge of the grave, with no
one to write their epitaph or say nice
things about them.

American Converts Robbed and Maim-

Picking, Jan. 13.-Missionaries of the
American Board of Foreign Missions
complained strongly recently to Unit
ed States Minister Conger that their
converts houses in the district of Pao
Ting Flu were being looted by bandits
who claimed to be Catholics and that
a reign of terror prevailed in the dis
trict. The Chinese officials feared to
act and several Christians who re.
fused to pay blackmail were tortured.
Their legs were broken and some died
from their injuries.
Minister Conger requested the gov
eminent to suppress the bandits, but
his demand was without apparent re-
suit. Secretary Williams after a
weeks personal investigation effected
an arrangement with the officials of
the district who promised to protect
the people if Minister Conger would
cease to make complaint, which in
jured them at the seat of government.
Secretary Williams is not satisfied
that the bandits are Catholics. The
Catholic bishop disclaims them

for completely in the postal frauds, be-
gan in earnest Tuesday. At the out
set the government scored two points
when Justice Pritchard refused to
make rule requiring the district at
torney to select the specific count Of
the indictment under which the de-
PENDANTS would be tried and also when
he permitted certain postofice inspec-
tors to remain in court after the other
witnesses were examined, all of them
in the employ of the postoffice depart
ment.
Except in the case of Witness How
ley, chief clerk in the Office of the
first assistant postmaster general, the
testimony was devoid of any feature.
Mr.. Howley, who had not conctud-
ed his testimony when court adjourn
ed for the day, was rigidly cross-ex-
amined by Mr.. Kumler, of counsel for
the Lorenzes. He admitted that fire.
quently it happened that Machen's in
itials and signature were placed on
letters or documents or acquisitions by
his subordinates and that this prac-
tice had resulted in an order to all di-
vision chiefs prohibiting their delegat-
ing this authority to others.

POLITICAL ExIGENCIES ENTERED
INTO SITUATION AND DE-
FEATED CHICAGO.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Demo
cSatic national committee Tuesday
furnished a surprise, selecting st
louis as the place for holding the ma
tlonal convention in 1904. The date
fixed for the convention is Wednesday
July 6, at II O'Clock. Previous to the
meeting of the committee it seemed a
t0regone conclusion that Chicago

tered into the situation and a majority
OF the committee voted for St. Louis
For some hours previous to the meet
Ing Of the committee there was talk
10 the corridors and among Democratic
leaders that the convention in Chica
go might be. subject to the influence
newspaper influence in favor of some
particular candidate. Mr.. Knapp of
the st. Louis Republic limited at this
IN his speech by saying that the con.
Vention, it held at St. Louis, would be
welcomed by an absolutely fair press
There were two roll calls to select
the city. On the first St. Louis re-
ceived % votes, Chicago 20 and New
York G. On the second ballot St.
Louis received Is and Chicago 21.
Committee Favors No Candidate.
The committee covered considerable
discussion of politics and the claims
Of various candidates were advocated
by their partisans, but nothing like
faVoring any candidate appeared in
the committee proceedings.
William J. Bryan appeared when the
committee had concluded its labors,
but his visit was without any apparent
political significance. He did not
come to the hotel until after the com
mittee had about completed it's bust
ness. He was warmly greeted by the
members of the committee and invited
number of them to call on him at
his hotel in the evening and hold a
conference with Chairman Jones at
the Shoreham. Asked what he thought
of the Panama situation, Mr.. Bryan
said that he (Bryan) moved with
dellberation and events occurred too
rapidly in some quarters for him to
keep pace with them. In answer to
another question he replied that it was
yet too early to outline the issues for
the coming campaign
