The Tendency 10 Knock:

The tendancy to knock seems
to be inherent in human nature.
More people are interested in
destruction than construction,
as is plainly proven by the
crowds which stand around a
building which is being RACED,
and the apparent Indifference of
the passers.by to the building
which Is being put up. We read
Of the destruction of Reims with
bated breath, but a movement
for civic betterment gets but
scant attention. There is hope,
however, of the awakening Of
public interest in constructive
plans and a corresponding weari.
ness Of undertaking and the tesr.
ing down Of our existing bust.
ness and social organizations.
This is right and should be en-.
Outraged. Let's forget about
taking the fall out Of the other
fellow and, instead, give him the
uplifting hand. We should not
try to reform him, in the sense
that We tell him how perfect we
are and how imperfect he is, or
that we insist that he adopt our
standard Of morality in prefer
ence to that which he has chosen.
Let him reform Himself if ht
wants to reform, but let US give
him a chance for his white alley,
That's the spirit that makes fol-
! progress and u%pbuilding.

 He was queer man, was her con clusion. She neither liked nor dis liked him. She wasn't going to ask him to call, but if he did call she wasn't going to turn him outdoors.
 A couple of weeks again went by. Such villagers as had got to knew Mr Hackett were saying that he was a very nice man. The widow expressed no opinion.
 She had been to the postoffice, half a mile away, one afternoon, when a sudden thunder storm came up. She thought she could beat it, but was forced to take refuge ia the porch of a church The thunder was rolling. the lightning flashing and the rain de scending in sheets when Mir.

 It thus came about that Mir. Hackett heard no more of the suit For two weeks he heard no more of the widow either.
 Then he got an idea one day and started off fishing. It was also an easy day for Mrs. Nixon and she con- cluded to visit friend a mile away. To shorten the distance she made a out across the fields, and in climbing a rail fence silver caught her dress in such a way as to hold her fast as if she had been nailed down.
 The carpenter heard her cries for help from where he was angling and he hastened to her aid and began:
 T suppose you have thought over what I said the 6ther day?"
 No, sir," was the huffy reply
 Been too busy putting up currant jell, eh? Better think it over. It's a vital question for beth of us. You'll never find another man to agree with you more heartily than I do that sprinkling a convert beats immersion all hollow.

 < Certainly I am don't expect a woman caught fast on a rail fence is going to give much thought to matri- mony, but think it over when you eet home. I might walk away and refuse to do thing till you had said yes to me, but I'm a fair-minded man. Mrs. Nixon-a fair-minded man."
