"Knocker" is one OF the most vivid
luminous words in the American Ian
guage-
II is not in the dictionaries yet. but
10 will be. because there is no other
word that has such a comprehensive
meaning.
In every neighborhood there Is a
woman ''knocker." She hasn't a good
word 10 say for anybody around her.
She is the woman who hides behind
her curtain and peeps out as Mrs. So
and So goes past wearing her new
hat. and she afterwards describes IL
as fright" She magnifies the little
faults of the neighbors; gives wings to
gossip; makes yenomous filings at the
character OF the young women OF the
neighborhood. and wonders why she is
not as well liked as other women in
the block.
But no one loves a woman
''knocker"
In every Office. store or shop there
is a "knocker." You can always find
him among the ones who have not
succeeded. the ones yet at the foot Of
the ladder. for one of the surest things
in the world is that a 'knocker" never
climbs very high.

The Daily Story
Blind Mans Fight-By M Quad.
copyrighted. 1915. by Mcclure Newspaper syndatej

Without doubt the most singular
duel that ever took place in the United
States occurred at Santa Fe, n. M,
many years ago. 1t occurred several
years previous to the first Pacific rail-
road and while yet every pound of
goods going TO the far west had TO be
hauled across the great plains by
freight wagons or sent around Cape
Horn by sea
Two men in a Rogers & Blair outfit
fell in love with the same girl in Santa
Fe. One was an American named
Jack Hines, and the other was a full
/ blooded Mexican, who was simply
known as Don. The girl was a half
breed. and none of us outside the two
rivals thought her worth fighting over.
The affair had gone on for seven or
eight months before the outbreak
came We were in Santa Fe, making
ready for a start east, when the Next
can one evening approached a fire be-
sides which Hines sat alone and threw
a package of powder on the blaze.
With a leap aside he escaped conse-
quences, but Jack Hines was blinded
for life. 1t was a contemplate thing
to do, and but for the civil authorities
the Mexican would have been lynch
ed. AS it was, he was kicked and
beaten and bounced out of camp. A
day or two later, as the girl had gone
back on him, he tried to carry her off
by force, but had to let her go when
she stabbed him. Hines depended on
her pity in his misfortune, but she
calmly told him that a blind husband
would be of no use to her and laughed
his tears to scorn. He had a relative
in the city and was taken in and cared
for, while the Mexican crossed the Rio
Grande for a time. 1t was year later,
and Jacks old outfit and all his friends
happened to be in Santa Fe again
when Don returned. He had grown
uglier and meaner in the twelve |
months. We would have picked fuss |
with him and shot him down, but Jack |
Hines had no sooner heard of his /
presence than he said:
Boys, you must arrange for duel. /
I shall never rest content until have /
killed that Mexican!"
But you are blind" we protested. /
Never mind that. I must fight him
and kill him, blind or not, and the
whole of Santa Fe shall look on"
When we found that he would have
it so we carried a challenge to Don
and also asked the authorities to let
Us have public duel. Some weak OBJ
iections were made, but they yielded

hourly incident, and duels came off

and the final estimates do not neces-

foreseen- For example. the condition
OF the corn crop on Aug / may in
dictate an average yield OF 80 bushels
per acre. Ten days later a devasting
hot wind may work such havoc that
the final yield may be only two or
three bushels an acre. In fixing the
earlier estimates. therefore. calcula-
tons are made on a basis which
leaves an even chance Cor Ihe final
yield 20 be above or below the early
forecasts.
