THE IDLER.

THE IDLER. =
In one of my previous articles l SAID
something about the kicker, who was
like the frog that churned the ball OF
butter. I have recently read a little
poem on "The Knocker," which I am
going to print. Now, want the read
er to differentiate between the knock
err and the Kicker" The knock
er" is an obstructionist. He wants to
pull down, and stands in the way OF
progress. He is a fellow who is "agin
the government" A kicker is con-
structionist. If you don't know the
meaning of these big words, get down
YOUR dictionary. The kicker builds up,
as note the illustration of the two
frogs and the ball of butter. I ain a
kicker but not knocker, and I want
you to differentiate.
Here is the poem on The Knock
err"
"The KnOcker."
(By Fred Parkerham.)
Throw your hammer back into the
tool-chest;
Don't hide the square likewise;
Anyone can be a knocker;
Any one can criticise.
Cultivate a style that's winning;
Crack it though it hurts to smile,
Twill be hard at the beginning;
But boost it just little while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding;
He's the one that gets the pay.
You don't get a cent for bounding
Saint or sinner night and day.
And for good old satisfaction,
Dror a kind word in the slot,
I'll bet eight cents you'll get action
For your efforts on the spot.
Cause the old machines working,
Making mirth where there's frown
Find the place to set it humming
For the man that5s way, way down
And the next day will seem much
brighter
If you'll kindle friendships flame
And make the burden kind of lighter
For the boy behind the game.
! So send your grunts out on vacation
Give your ugliness a shock;
Throw the hammer back into the tool
chest;
Lock it up, and lose the lock.
i Right here in old Newberry there
are too many knockers. They hound
saints and sinners every day. The.
are no respectors of persons. The!
love the sport so we'll that they dom
give a cent for the pay. Even whe1
it would pay them better not to knccl
they keep right on. Let any bod!
lstart anything in Newberry and som
of these old knockers will shrug thei
shoulders and grunt, if they don't d.
anv more, even when it would be t.
their interest to smile and encourage
Now, I am a kicker against that sor
Of thing, and I hope yet to churn
few balls of good rich butter befor
I go hence, though the shadows ar
lengthening and the days are drawing
to an end.

By the way, I noticed that a nay
mower got into the Methodist lawn the
other day and also into monument
square. That's good. Let the good
work proceed.
I>want to give you the following

Stanton's column in the Atlanta Con-
stitution and ask you to mediate On
it till I come again.
Everyday Philosophy.
Arthur Aull, philosopher, sends out
these nuggets by the wayside:
did you ever notice how hard 1t

thing.
Why, I would like to get that class
of people to read a little. See what
Memphis is doing. See what they are
going to do in Atlanta and Augusta
and Spartanburg and almost every
other town. The parks the thing
everywhere, and it has all come prom
inently to the front since I have been
talking park in NewDerry, and The
Idler's park has not come yet. I still
have some faith in the good sense of
a majority of the good people of New
berry and I believe they realize the
value of a park and that now is the
time~to secure it., At any rate I am
going to give them the opportunity.
Fact is, a hundred people at a hum
dred each is all I want now, but I am
going to give opportunity to the ten
dollar people in this great movement.
In this world few people carry the
load and the others enjoy themselves.
But had you ever thought of the I'M
mutable, Interchangeable, and certain
law of compensation and recompense.
1t is Just as certain as that the stars
shine in the heavens, or that the sea-
sons come. whatsoever man
soweth, that shall he also reap" is
just as true today as it was when 1t
was first dictated. Sometimes it seems
that the harvest is a long time in COM
ing-that it is a long time between
seasons-but he not deceived--the
right will prevail-truth is mighty
and you can't crush it to eartA and
keep it crushed.
Sometimes the thought can be bet
ter expressed in verse. Read these
lines and ponder them we'll:
The Law of Recompense.
There is no wrong by any one COM
mitted
But will recoil.
Its sure return, with double i'll repeat
ed,
No skill can foil.
AS on the earth the mist it yields &c
heaven
Descends in rain,
So on his head whoe'er has evil given
1t falls again.
1t is ~he law of life that retribution
Shall follow wrong.
It never fails, although the execution
May tarry long.
Then let US be, with unrelaxed en-
deavor,
Just, true and right,
That the great law of recompense may
ever
Our hearts delight.

Connecticut Co.
 Willing To Fill SeavieW Ave. Swamp

Frank Ronai, an expert in Chinese dinners, bought one last night that didn't appeal to his taste, so he brought it up to the meeting of the Board of Health and thrust 1t under the indignant and scandalized noses of that body.
 Members of the board couldn't find anything out of the way with the din- ner and Ronai was gently but firmly urged to leave the room and finish his meal in peace.
 Senator Garry Paddock appeared be- fore the board in behalf of the resi- dents of the 12th district last night and asked the board to take action toward the elimination of the nui- sance at the Seaview avenue swamp He declared that it is a fertile breed ing place for mosquitoes and other conveyors of pestilence, and the neighbors are sick to death of it.
 The Connecticut Company through Superintendent Chapman has given word that the company stands ready to run a spur track over the swamp and fill it in with cinders from the power house. J. H. O'Rourke and L. w Currier, owners of the place, will be asked to cooperate with the Con- necticut Company and help abate the nuisance.
 The Health board disposed of a large amount of routine business.

WARE COMPANY

Kenneth McCamley and Edward n.
Pomainville have formed a co-partner
ship for the purpose Of opening up
and carrying on the business Of an
up to date hardware store. They
have rented the building formerly
occupied by Geo. Purneu and expect
to have their grand opening on or
about October 18th. Kenneth has
been with the Johnson & Hill Co.
for the past seven years, managing
their hardware department, and is
therefore well experienced in that
line. Justice Pomainville will con
tinue to sell real estate and hand out
justice, but will gradually work into
the new business. He will handle
the bookkeeping end and look after
things in general These two young
men are well liked by the majority
Of the people and we cannot see why
they will not make a success of the
new undertaking. They will run
under the name Of the Grand Rap
ids Hardware Co, and their motto
is "Out to Win" and zone Price to
Everybody, and that the lowest"

SENATOR STEPHENSON
MAKING HIS LAST FIGHT

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. with u
nfted States Senators Hepburn of
Idaho, Sutherland of Utah and Pom
creme of Ohio sitting as his judges,
the venerable Senator Isaac Stephen
son of Marinette faced the senatorial
investigating committee of the nation
al body here Monday morning. 1t is
the Wisconsin mans last fight to
keep his seat in the upper house at
Washington and the conflict promises
to be sharp and decisive. It is not
believed here that Mr.. Stephenson
will be long kept in the witness chair
and then will follow E. A Edmonds,
Appleton; J. A VanCleve, Marinette;
J. H. Puelicher, Milwaukee; Rodney
Sackett, Berlin and others.
Just what the scope of this inves-
tigation will include win not be
known until the session progresses
1t may deal only with the activity Of
Mr.. Stephenson and his agents dur
ing the legislative fight in Madison
or it may include the whole primary
campaign. This line of action will
be determined by the sitting member
in executive session as the case
progresses.
