The KnOcker

We have been asked to give the
definition of "knocker" and after
looking up the word we have found
what we believe to be the only true
definition. 1t was published in the
American Musician, and written by
one who is onto the ways of these
people:
The 'Isnocker" is the hyena of
mankind. Like a thief in the night
he goes about seeking to whom he
can do injury without making him
self known as the informer. He has
the mischief of the fox, is a subtle
as snake and despised as plague.
He is worse than Judas, more to
be stunned than a traitor, and hated
as the most accursed enemy in hu-
man form. He often is given a po-
sition in the association to which he
belongs, often at a questionable cleo
tion, but as soon as he is installed he
assumes authority not within the
province of the constitution and by
laws, and prosecutes his rivals and
more manly constituents in every
conceivable manner, so unjustly and
sneakingly as to show clearly his
cowardly heart and disgruntled char
acter.
For followers the "knoeker" gen
orally has 4 gang OF "squealers and
do-Iittles." and waits for chance to
present itself to do" someone who,
by honest works and acts, is gaining
the good will of his constituents.
The .'knocker" is not a rare ami
NAL. but is a barnacle, self-impressed
upon most communities. If found
out and disturbed from one location,
he Immediately seeks to attach him
self to another. Beware of him, for
his name is deception, villainy and
ruin.
There is no limit to the suffering
and anguish he is wont to cause no
depth to the goulish pit he would
cast a fair. honest opponent into. The
..knocker" is a scandal-monger OF
the lowest degree, a prostitute to
Justice, being without mercy or char
itv. and the usurper Of fraternal ex-
istence. He is an 'informer" de
spised and rejected from ones com
panionship as quickly as a poisonous
wasp. And yet he persists to exist

Cherished Circle

The following song was written
and set to music by Mrs. Edwin A.
Haskell, to be used especially for
the entertainment given Thursday
evening by the Green circle. Women
of Woodcraft. The song was sung
by the members and 1t made quite
hit. Many compliments were
passed upon the song.
o, here's to our own cherished circle!
We honor where honor is due;
And here's to our bright, glowing
colors!
And here's to our emblem so true!
Red is love we should bear one an
other;
White is hope for our future so
bright;
And Green is for loving remembrance
Which we bear for our absent to-
night.

Three cheers for the Red. White

Shot Three Times

Denver, Mar. 1S.-(special) A
tragedy that came near being the
counterpart of the one that occurred
last Sunday was enacted last even
ing.
William C. Smith thought that he
was suffering from some wrong com
mitted by a neighbor 1t was over
the boundary line of some property,
almost an exactly similar cause that
led up to the great tragedy last Sun
day. He went after August Neu-
field, his neighbor Smith lives at
1437 Julean street and Neufold al
1855, same street. Smith shot Neu-
fold three times. One ball hit him
in the lower jaw and another hit him
in the right hip. Another was sim
ply flesh wound. He then started
for another neighbor, A. Berks. He
mistook Bernard Winters for Berks
and shot him, although his wound
was not very dangerous or considered
so.
Shortly after he shot Winters and
discovered his mistake he saw Berks
and would have shot him, but his
ammunition was exhausted
Smith was urged on by his wife
who has had lots of trouble with
her neighbors and is considered a
termigant.
Smith afterward went to a police
station and gave himself up and ii
is said is now completely prostrated
by his acts. The people, however
are greatly excited over the assaults
and shooting by Smith, and are MOI
inclined to forgive or be misled by
his apparent repentance.
Neufold and Winters are in the
hospital.

Mr.. Sullivan's Lecture and Other
High School Notes.

Considering the inclement condi-
tion of the weather, a large number
of citizens and pupils of the schools
assembled last night at the high
school assembly room to hear the
last lecture of Richard II. Sullivan's s
series of lectures on popular meteor
ology.
Since the lecture came on the even
ing OF st. Patrick's S day, Mr.. Sullivan
gave a brief and very interesting re-
view of the life and work of that
great man.
In treating of cyclones the speak
er showed the beginning and the
growth, the course and the final dis

ing the wonderful phenomena lie

on the screen reproduction from a
photograph, representing tornado
in Kansas. 1t was powerful picture.
After discussing the storms the
lecturer spoke of the practical use
of the United States weather bureau,
especially to the great shipping in
terests, saving many millions of dol
lars worth of property every year.
The public has been very fortunate
in having an opportunity to listen
to such course of lectures. They
proved to be immensely popular. en-
tertaining and fully scientific.

been supposed to have full information

to what rights Georgetown and Virginia
might be expected to claim under the
terms fixed by the joint committee, and

state that eligibility rules would have

The big clubs he adds ARE holding
fights in private every night in Greater

Virginia Is Not Likely
To Play Here Saturday

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Va.
June S.-The executive committee of the
general athletic association Of the Uni
verstty of Virginia has neen called to
meet at o'clock this afternoon to con-
slider the telegram received this morning
from Manager Lawler, of the George
town baseball team, which is to the ef-
feet that all arrangements for Satur-
days game are to stand. but that the
Blue and Gray's advisory board reserves
the right to consider the ratification of
the agreement recently adopted.
The impression prevails that the Vir-
ginia athletic authorities will not agree
TO modifying the terms of the recent
agreement, and that therefore the Vir-
einia team will not go to Washington
or Saturday. The members Of the ex-
ecutive committee seen this morning re-
fused TO express. their individual opin-
ions on the matter.

been received from Charlottesville, but
it is expected that by tonight something
definite will be known of the future re-

So peculiar has been all the business

little chance that the pact Will be- -ac-

Another meeting Of the advisory board
will be held tomorrow evening, when it
is expected that the special committee
which went to Virginia will be heard
and some final decision will be made
in regard to the agreement and the
committee.
If the treaty is repudiated it is likely
that a committee acceptable to George
