modelled by distinguished masters. Mounted
firmly on uprights rising from heavy
solid base they make attractive and useful
bibelots for the writing desk. Kaldenberg,
the expert in ivory, is a specialist for this
artistic mounting OF medals, using ivory
or deer horn for the stands, or other ma
terials when the medal is to be treated like
a bas relief and hung on a wall.

Official Paper Of the City Of Havre

Knock, the knocker, but don't let
the knocker knock the town. That is
a GOOD maxim for every one to p1a,-
tlce; it is a good motto for every
business man to place over tie por al
to his establishment The knoczer
never does anything good for him e
and he is incapable Of doing anything
good for any one else, and he Is the
most detrimental influence there IS
in town. If there are enough CT
him in a town with the hest and most
abundant resources and with the I'm
est prospects, he will blight is fu-
ture Just as surely as a heavy ftIst
will kill the tender plant. He is the
dead asset of failure and his pdb lc
balance is always in red. lie IS an
utter abomination. There is no aW
authorizing his violent exterminati@n
or legal punishment, and if the
were, the crime would have to be
made a capital offenGe, as to secure
his silence, he would have to be Kill
led But in the absence Of any legal
method Of dealing with the chronic
jeremiah, he can be left alone, ostra-
cised politically, socially and in bu-
siness circles; he can be treated to
liberal doses of his own methods and
knocked good and hard and pc. si5t-
entity; he can be boycotted! The
knocker is usually a man who thinks
he is smart-but he only thinks Sd.
If he could sell himself at what he
thinks he Is worth, Rockefeller would
not have the financial ability to pur-
chase him; if he sold for what he is
actually worth he would not b.! ing
unit with the rim taken Off He is
pusillanimous nonentity whose on y
claim to recognition Or attention is
the same as that demanded by the
spiteful Whir of the rattler's tail.
He has no brains and seldom has a
desire for workout he has poison
ously vicious tongue that only finds
comfort and delight when hu y Wag-
ging to the injury of his town or some
Of the people in it. Optimism brings
success to individuals and is the mcst
important factor in the building Of
cities, and in the circle of sue e sful
optimists there is no room for the
uncongenial knocker-so when you
see knocker, knock him, and keep
knocking him until he gets out Of
town, and gets out unsung and I'M
mOurned.

there was a bill in force which COW

Stanton filed formal protest against
