You can not argue with him with any honest success, for fl you convince him against his will he has another knock coming because you have de- tsatad him. and uses il without delay or limit. He knocks in his sleep; f he has pleasant dream he lays it ,o indigestion and knocks at the man who sold him the suspected edible; he knocks if child smiles al him. and says the child's father has been tell ing tales on him at home; he knocks at good meal on account Of the cost Of is; he knocks at fair weather for fear il is propitious for another man $ plans: knocks at foul weather because . he cannot make it worse at another mans achieyment because he does no. share il: al another's failure be- cause he did not have a hand in it: he is the best known man in town and has more mean things said about him than any other ten men. He will knock as long as he lives. Dead. he will knock al the gates of heaven and his knock will not be heard he may lry the other place but Be doubt if che devil has any Use for him either.
