Moreover
Since the era OF printing liter

Knocking at the Kuocker.

The "knocker" is a person We
all can we'll spare. He ia known in
every town and community. That
Texline, Tex, has had it's expert.
ence with him may be inferred
from the following editorial by
Thomas Danial, editor and pub.
Usher OF the Texline Herald, in a
recent issue OF that paper in
which he hits the 'knocker' in
almost every form and on h 8
most vulnerable spot:
Sin thp bpginning God created
the heavens and the earth. Later
he created man and woman. Next
the 'knorker' butted in without
an invitation. and he has been
butting in ever since, just at the
time when his presence is least
desirable. He first appeared in
the form OF a serpent, and he has
been appearing in the form OF
most everything from a grass
hopper to a donkey ever since.
When he can't find anything eke
to knock on, he growls about his
wifr's cooking and eases himself
by telling his children what good
for nothing brats they are. He
knocks on the church because
there happens to be people al
most as worthless as he is in it,
and he knocks on the saloon
keeper, berause, pei haps, be can't
get booze on a credit. He knocks
On the school, when, in some in
stances he has no children to
send. He knocks on the post.mas
ter because he fails to geta letter
;; or paper just whrn he imagined
he ought to. He knocks on one
neighbor because he is successful
and ON another because he is un.
fortunate. He knocks on his town
constantly and keeps a chunk of
encouragement hand to throw
at every public enterprise that
comes along. He contributes
nothing to the pubic welfare, yet
is everlastingly nursing a sore
spot against the world, because
he feels he has not been treated
properly. He knocks on his local
paper, BECAUSE 1T is not.as big as
big as the Chicago Tribune, but
roars long and loud whru he is
asked to pay up his subscrip.
tion. Knocking is like small pox;
it's contagious. Most any man is
likely TO be guilty of the offense
occasionally, but he ought to go
out and kick himself every time
h. errs in this way. Don't heed
the Knocke: turn a deaf ear to
his tale of woe, lest yon be re
peating it. Knocking is an ex-
prnsive passtilne. 1t has destroy.
ell friendship, broken up homes,
changed the course OF railways,
blocked important legislation,
dspoplated cities and played 'old
nick ever since the devil broke
into the Garden of Eden an d
knocked the apple off the tree,
whose mortal taste brought
death to the world and all our
woe. Ii you haye the Knocking
habit now is a good time to
take it out.
