WATCH YOUR STEP
BY THE CONDUCTOR
Knocking.

'9The easiest thing know is knock in'
 "Knockin' don't take any sense. Any nut can knock It's like a baby howl in over a lot O blocks. Only tn baby does his knockin' right in front O your nose. Us grown ups got to sneak around behind your back to knock.
 How much knockin' do ye think you'd do if tn guy you was knockin' stood right in front of you. You'd be knockin someone else all right, an like as not he'd be helpin' you knock tn other fellow. An you ought to hear them two knock on you when they get together.
 T only know one fellow that don't knock. He's a little eye doctor down town. Every time that little Doc Weaver runs into me he grabs me with two hands an says he, Jerry heard somethin' awful good about you. An I says. Go tell it to my wife, Doc; she hain't heard nothin' but knocks about me since we got married.' Sure enough, Doc, goes an tells Lizzie, an he tells every friend O mine he sees. l never hear Doc say a mean thing about any guy livin' or dead. He don't even say about 8 fellow, He don't man, butt That's what gets my goat ito hear a nut make out like he's a strong friend of another chap an then soak his friend with that He's all right, but
 They ain't nobody that don't need fixin'-nobody, I tell you Knockers might justs as well take a fall out O people for not havin' web feet like a duck or not havin' extra legs an feath- CTS growin' right down their backbone.
 Funny part of it is nobody thinks he belongs to tn Knockers club. You just keep tab on how. many good things you say bout anybody to- morrow an you'll see you ain't on no waitin' list of any Knockers club. You're in. Welcome to our city I'm in. Can't get out. Doc Weaver $ only man out, I know. He'll stub his toe someday an fall in.
 You must move up in tn car, gen. tlemen.
 'I ain't to blame. Them's my orders.
 "Step on: lively, please!"
 Look where you step!"

THANKSGIVING.

This is the great day of national thanksgiving. Inspired by our fore fathers as a time for humble acknoWl- edgnent of the blessings and bounties of the year, it is a holiday which has come down from the earliest settlers of tho country. Thanksgiving then was day set apart at the close of the harvest season for publicly declaring their appreciation of the fayors of the Almighty, as expressed in the crops for the meeting of the long hard win ters It was and is day of feasting as well as of religious observance It has extended from a small circle to large one and today this great country from shore to shore, with its many millions, is perpetuating this early New England custom.
 It is by no means the only day for giving thanks. but it is the day for all to publicly join in thanksgiving. Hen " Ward Beecher has well said: Thanksgiving day is the one national festival which turns on home life It is not a day of ecclesiastical saints. It is not a national anniversary. IL is not a day of celebrating a religious event. It is a day of Nature It is 9 day of thanksgiving for the years his tory And it must pivot on the house hold A typical Thanksgiving dinner represents everything that has grown in all the summer, fit to make glad the heart of man. It is not a riotous feast It is a table piled high, among the group of rollicking young and the sober joy of the old, with the treas ures of the growing year, accepted with rejoicings and interchange of many festivities as token of grati- tude to Almighty God. Remember Gods bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are break ing out in light. Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitudei'

istrati0n's policy to continue all Re.
publican postmasters now 10 once to
the end of their terms provided no
charges we're sustained against their
efficiency. The policy applies to all

There will have to be specific
charges Of ineiiiiciency, however. be-
fore anyone will be removed" he

been reached after conferences with

The agent leaves his winter haunt
with easy marks to plead, and sells

books they'll never read. The hobo
leaves the city slum for pastures
