Mr.. KnOCkER GETS HIS
MY Dear Pic:

Ihave been Illuminating, ponder
ing and dreaming-trying to
equalize situations, thinga and
people. and just as | had the
matter in what | thought good
shape and satisfaction, | had
some experience with the town
Knocker whom | had left out of
my reckoning and whom | had
entirely forgotten. Let me define
him for you. Generally a lean,
lank creature for the reason that
he is so busy looking after other
peoples affairs, that he doesn't
take time to eat enough to fatten
on even if he had it to eat. He is
all eyes and ears. His eyes
generally grow close up to his
nose on each side of his head.
He is SO afraid that something
will be said that he does not hear
that he makes a jumping jack of
himself trying.
TIA merchant has a prospective
purchaser for nice bill and the
Knocker finds it Que he gets busy
and does his ''yallar" to do
him.. If the butcher has a
trade on for some nice fat cattle,
old Knocker is in the game and
tells the seller that they ought to
bring double. If a stranger comes
in to see us, old Knocker is in
evidence and mnst lambaste
county and city officials, talk OF
the outrageous taxes, the poor
news papers and finds fault with
every thing and every bodp.
If thh Vaughn Reality Co.
finds buyer for city or other
property and old Knocker catches
on, he gets on his hump at once.
He tells the buyer that the till is
not good and that the price is too
high by two hundred per cent,
and that he could buy it for half
the price asked, tnat the roof
leaks, the attic is full of rats, that
ghosts make night hideous with
their shrieks, in fact, his category
is full, he tells it all. The schools
are no good and the teachers no
good. But why waste good news
paper space talking about this
Brighter? and yea we have some
of them in Prescott. What shall
we do with them?
dislike drunkenness, crap
shooting and other bad things
but of all detestable and abomi-
nable evils, the knocker is the
worse, Couldn't we push him
up against a good case of smallpox
yellow fever, itch or jaundice
and shut him up?
If all our good folks and the
town is full of them, would just
set down on these varmints good
and nard, we would do the proper
thing and posterity would enter
upon new era.
May the Good Lord have mercy
upon the Knocker, send a blaze OF
forked lightening after him and
either kill or cIre him.

MINING NOTES.
Hard Coal Hines May Close.

The likelihood Of a shut. down
of the coal mines in the anthra-
cite field after April 1, when the
present labor contract expires,
n regarded as far from remote.
The Miners union is insistent,
apparently, in the demands
which the operators are by no
means disposed to grant. While
a strike is not thought to be in
prospect for reasons, there are
lively indications that it win
take some time for both parties
TO the contract to get together
for future operations aud in the
meantime there may be little

have been felt during the last

East Sees a Light at Last.

Even Wall street is coming to
understand that there is some
ching worth while west of the
anthracite coal fields. The Jour-
nal of Commerce is led to re-
mark:
1.-THE East is so self. conferred,
so provincial, if the expression
may be used, that it is chroni7
cally taking short-sighted view
of things. For example, so much
is heard about the anthracite
roads and the anthracite coal
mines that the unenlightened
might suppose that the hard
coal industry was far more I'M.
portant than the bItuminous di.
vision. Reading, the star specu-
lative performer on the New
York Stock Exchange, and other
anthracite roads, are so spromi-
neEtl' 10 the East's eye that any,
thing affecting hard coal receives
great deal of attention, where
as soft coal affairs exercise only
a languid interest on the sea-
- -.
board. But what are the facts?
Briefly, the United States pro-
duces 100000 tons of soft coal
every day of the week, leaving.
1000, 900 tons of hard coal to be-
on Sunday. In other.
words, the country's total output,
is roughly 35O,0O0,OOO tons, OF
which approximately 50,000,000l
is anthracite. New York must
learn in time to take a larger
view of things-not only a ma.
tonal, but an international view.
Thisis too important a center not
to give due weight to the import
ance of other places. The East
is the East, but it is not also the
North, South and West"

To tell you what to do.
He may not know a lot about
The work he has In hand.
But all the details of your Job
He'll clearly understand,
And. though you do 1t passing fair,
Onhand, without delay
And in the doing suit yourself,
He'll know a better way.
He'll tell you II you'll only bark
And listen for a spell
Just how to manage every deal
And when to buy and sell,
And how TO treat your hired help,
And how to run your store
And anything you want to know
And. oftentimes, much more.

Take Care Of Horses Feet-"No
foot no horse" is an old saying and
one that should appeal to every man
who owns a horse. In addition to
having good feet, the teeth of the
horse when he begins to grow old
should have attention in order that the
feed may be properly masticated.
When the teeth become rough and I'M
even and the horse cannot grind up
his feed, be becomes a hard keeper
and often the owner does not know
the cause of the trouble. When buy.
ing horse always see to it that the
feet and teeth are in good condition.
Horses must live under artificial con-
ditions Much is demanded of the
horse without corresponding amount
of care and attention. Hard roads
necessitate frequent shoeing and from
overwork and carelessness many ami
mails contract ring bones, side bones,
lameness and cracks in the wall of the
hoof or contracted heels. Much of the
shoeing done is not necessary. I'm.
less horse is to be worked over
paving, on race tracks or in stony
country, he will do we'll without shoes
ii his feet are not weak or defective.
In having horses shoc it pays to pay
the smith who understands the bust
ness and who makes a study of the
horse and his feet.-Prairie Farmer.
