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
