PEOPLE OF THE DAY Eminent Lawyer and Statesman. Senator Philander Chase Knox of Pennsylvania, who ls slated for secre tary of state in the Taft cabinet, has been ? prominent figure in national affairs for the past decade. Before that he had won eminence at the bar, his skill and learning in corporation law bringing both wealth and fame. "I feel that I am to be congratulated In obtaining the services of Senator Knox in my cabinet,7' said Judge Taft lu making the announcement. "In se lecting a secretary of state I wanted first a great lawyer and second a man who would not only here, but abroad, stand out pre-eminently as a great American. According to a story that is told, an old lady at Brownsville, Pa., the place where Mr. Knox was born in 1853, thinks she laid for Knox the* founda tion of his millions. The elder Knox Avas a banker, but the sou's allowance PHILANDER C. KNOX. was never so large that he spurned an opportunity to add a dollar or two. The first dollar, a silver "cart wheel," he ever earned was by digging pota toes for the old lady. That was dur ing the civil war, and silver dollars were nor. a familiar sight theu even to the sou of a banker. Congressman Ernest F. Acheson, who represents the district in which Brownsville is situ ated, says the old lady told him that when Philander got it he looked at it, dumfounded. and remarked, '*! didn't know anybody in the world had as much money as that" Senator Knox entered President Mc kinley's cabinet as attorney ' general in 1901. He was reappointed by Presi dent Roosevelt, but resigned in 1904 to take the seat In the senate left vacant by the death of M. S. Quay. He was elected to that seat in 1905. Last sum mer Senator Knox was a candidate for the presidential nomination before the Republican convention. Too Sacred to See. "The German kaiser has been get ting rough usage at the reichstag's hands' since his Morning Telegraph in terview? hasn't he?" said Mark Twain at a recent dinner. "Those German royalties deem themselves so sacred too! Listen! . "I was once traveling on the conti nent. A gorgeous ?flunky showed me through the royal palace of a tiny principality. I. asked If I could have a glimpse of the ruler himself, and the lackey led me to a wffl?. ".Place your ear to this wall,* he said solemnly, 'and in about half an hour you will hear his royal highness bowling.' " Former Athlete May Head Harvard. James J. Storrow, who has been mentioned as a possible successor to Charles W. Eliot as president of Har vard university, is a member of an old Boston family and in his forty-fifth year. He was graduated from Har vard in 1885 and from the law school three years later. After ten years of JAMES J. STOBROW. law practice Mr. Storrow entered the banking firm of Lee, Higginson & Co., which partnership he has since main tained. While in college Mr. Storrow was an enthusiastic athlete, and sports have no firmer supporter among the alumni. He was a member of the varsity crew that defeated Yale In 1883 and in 18S5 was captain of the eight that again humbled the New Haven oarsmen. Jdr. Storrow was elected an overseer of Harvard in 1897, receiving the largest vote given a candidate for that office.

Everything arriv ed In a tin, tor the taf?t *rart ready for us. Meat, mflfc, batter; vegetables-all stood in tins in neat rows in the store room. A diet of tinned stuffs grew rather monotonous at times' but we were able occasionally to vary it Sometimes a wan would arrive with a live turtle, which he would sell for two sticks of tobacco, costing threepence. The wretched turtle would be killed and cut up, but would still insist on quivering in a most realistic manner even when placed on the fire to cook. Then, too, If the season was a good one, the kitchen would be found lined with Joints of wallabies, and it would be hard to know what to do with so much fresh meat-Wide World Maga zine. Witty Sayings. W. S. Gilbert said of Beerbohm Tree's . Hamlet that it was "funny without being coarse." During an Englishman's lecture in New Haven the usher said to a late comer: "Please, slr, take your seat as quietly as possible. The audience ls asleep." A Philadelphia .roman said: "Of course there will be no marriage in heaven. There will be plenty of wo men there and a few men, but none any one would care to marry." Spoiled by the Cook. Cardinal Manning, the famous Eng lish churchman, was gaunt of face. The great ecclesiastic's appearance was so ascetic that he seemed to have been almost starved. Once in Liver pool he visited a convent, and the cook knelt to him for a blessing, which she got. "May the Lord preserve your emi nence," said she, and then, looking at his thin face, she added, "and, ob. may God forgive your cook!" Insisted on a Change.
