H . The Knocker. You may find him most anywhere, but in our town be is six foot in his stockings when be has any long aud lean aud lank. Like a superannuated circus animal he has contracted the habit of sitting down. He sees every thing through somber glasses. When the sun shines from a cloudless sky it is just the precursor of a coming storm. We shall never Hue such high prices for limit Hgain. The old style of letting lliemofs grow on the trees suits his taste. Spi aying and cultivating are all folishuess. It doesu't pay. He never contributes a cent for the mental, moral or material advance ment of his town except what is wrung out of him by taxation. No trains or mails miss his scrutiny and yet he has little direct interest in either. Hard times comes a knocking at the door and finds a ready response from the knock er for be seeuis to revel in the thought that everything is going to the bow wows. He is never happy unless he is miserable. .He thinks It is a mean trick for the Governor of Oregon to tie up the baoks so he cant get his money. And the bankers are all rascally scoun drels for not keeping the depositors money lying up on the shelf till called for. Josh Billings said the worst thing about a mosquito is that you can't take a gun aud shoot it. And the. worst thing about a knocker is that you can't shoot him, for its against the law in Oregon. We can only wait in patience till we can dig a hole 3x7 aud cover him up out of sight. Ex. Arthur Bryau is laid up with the Brip. L. C. Fox came in on yesterday even ings train.
