For years." says the Village Deacon in the Osborne Farmer, "a certain man in olr community has always carried his hammer with him. By day and by night he has swung it and all we have ever heard from him has been knock, knock, knock. Other men about him have occasion ally laid aside their hammer and picked up the saw. In the evening when the sun went down they always had nice little pile of saw dust. But the other man never dropped his hammer. The more he knocked the more work he found to do. He knocked the life clear out of his own business, but he couldn't see it. He put dents ill the banks, in the stores, in the schools, in the churches and in everything he came across. When one hammer wore out he got another one. and it was always 8 little bigger than the old one. In the evening tho neighbcrs would sit around gnd say,
