NAVAL RED TAPE SET ASIDE With Mrs. Philander Knox, Wife of the Secretary of State, Whose Guest She Was, She Crossed the Ocean as the Idol of Every Man on Board Uncle Sam's Crack Cruiser. , S RATTLE, Wash.?Slttiug a ran- , non as she would have sat a liorse, the white figure of n slender girl was silhouetted i against the vivid blue of the Pacific sky. lteneath her around her were ' all the paraphernalia of war. Sailors polishing brass on the warship's deck looked up at her adoringly. Oflicers in blue and gold uniforms lingered at her side. The gray-haired admiral vied with the callow smootItcheeked lieutenants in homage to her. She seemed as much at homo ott board the lead-colored cruiser as she Muuiu nave Deen in a rose draw ins room. A girl 011 a warship in midoeoan! Was ever a ship's rrew so privileged I before? Mascots there have been 1 aplenty, and few are the. cruisers that 1 cannot boast a goat, a eat or a dog. Hut. a girl! A real, live, flufTy-halred, j blue-eyed girl in a white lawn frock. to go and come as she pleased all ; over the floating fortress, to loll in a steamer chair in the shadow of the turrets, to use the big guns as a j perch! Those gallant sallormen looked 011 the cannon as the throne of their princess. It is true there was another woman on board, but the other was different in a way?no less charming, no less entitled to a sailor's adora'ion. but just a little more remote ti?> other woman was Mrs. Philander Knox, wife of the secretary of state, and those sailors looked upon her with a certain amount of awe; the j girl was Miss I'riscilla Elllcott, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Capt. John Morris Elllcott, commander of 1 the IJ. S. S. Maryland, and there was not a man on that ship who would not have gone overboard iu full uniform to pick up her glove. True Daughter of the Navy. For Miss Priscilla was in a way one of themselves. A daughter of the navy, many of these officers had known her from childhood. She hud come on board her father's ship at almost every port of the Pacific ocean from Panama to ltehring straits. But this vas the first time in the memory of any of them that she or any other girl had actually lived on board, dining ( iu tlio admiral's cabin, sleeping iu a white stateroom of her own dancing on the quarterdeck under the tnoonj light, darning stockings on iter perch upon the long barrel of a cannon ? one of the ship's company. Truly, they were a privileged cr?w, :.nd well they knew it! And when some wag of a sailor, in ; a bos'n's chair, painting over the side, would lift his voice and sing the | song from "Pinafore" about a gallant captain s daughter, a ripple of girlish laughter would be wafted out to the j dolphins playing leap-frog under the bows. IIOW it ti:i in. nil.- armored i j cruiser Maryland had a girl on board , on her voyage from Honolulu to So j( attle laat fall is a charming story j j of how a woman's scissors may be j j more potent than a sailor's cutlass , : to cut a Gordlau knot of naval red i tape. "Take me home with you. father.' ' pleaded Miss ITisrllla KUicott to ('apt ! Elllcott of the Maryland at tlonoj lulu in the first days of October. Navy Regulations Explicit. "I cannot, niy girl,' replied the captain, "it is contrary to the ruler." "Oh, bother the old rules!" cried his dnughter. "Here you are with your ship and all this party on board just irofnv t" "*" ? ,, ? ...... uav.n iiome; why can't you take me with you instead of leaving me to sail on a passenger steamer alone?" Captain Klllcott smiled at the outburs. of rebeilon on the part of his pet daughter. lie pulled the Navy Regulations out of his desk. ' turned to Article 250 nnd read It aa follows: "Officers commanding fleets, divisions or ships shall not permit women to reside on board of or take passage in any ship of the navy in commission for sea service." "I might be court-martialed if I bToke that order," he added. "But Mrs. Knox is on board," protested his daughter. "She lias been i on board for weeks, and she is going to reside on board till >*o'* get home. Surely, if the rule can be broken for one woman, the breach can be stretch cu a nine 10 include two." "I'm afraid it can't be done, dear." , said her father regretfully. "You see. ; Mrs. Knox is on board by orders from : the president. The Maryland was assigned to carry the secretary of state and his wife to represent the president at the*funeral of the eruperor of .Japau." Regretfully Gave Up Idea. Miss l'riscilla pouted, but did not argue the matter any further. A true daughter of the navy, she had all her life been familiar with the hardships or kissing her father goodb.v, seeing liini sail away on the warship he commanded, and then, with her mother or her sister, taking passage on a merchant steamer to rejoiu him at his destination. She had been roving ever since she was six years old. There are few ports on the I'acitic In which she has not lived when her father's ship happened to he stationed there. She has lived also in many Kuropean ports. For the home of a daughter of the navy may be anywhere on earth, and she must be ready at any moment A 1 . / "f \ Miss Priscilla Ellicott, Daughter < to transfer her household goods to the I other side of the world. Captain Kllicott and the protected cruiser Maryland were in Alaskan waters last summer when ;he order reached him to head for Seattle and pick up the secretary of the state, Mrs. Knox and the rest of the party assigned by President Tuft to represent the United States at the funeral of the emperor of Japan Miss I'riscilla was in Alaska also. Her sister, the wife of Lieut. Ross S. Kingsbury of the marine corps, was living in Honolulu, her husband being stationed there. Miss Priscilla decided that this was an excellent opportunity to visit her sister, especiall.v as litis would enable .ter to greet h<-r father 011 his return from Japan. Mrs. Knox Unties Red Tape. Thus it dame about that bhe was 1 there when tlie Marvtaml ? . -- ^ .....w UI vi)i|?ru rtn clior in Honolulu harbor, homeward bound. Her mother was at Seattle. It was natural that .Miss Kllicott should want to return home on the warship : her father commanded. It was therefore exasperating to Mud a rule, made b> Secretary of the Navy William II.

Hud they not become v.m> friendly, as women will when ?! . > are far from home? Saving nothing further to her ft. ther. Miss Priseilla spoke to Mrs Knox about it. The wife of the secretary of state understood at once. Mrs. Knox knew also that the secretary's word was law on the Maryland, as he ' was representing the president, and that no naval regulation eou'd he raised against an order from hint. She knew, again, fhat Mr. Knox would grant her any frvor she might ask So she told him she wanted to take 1 Miss Klllcott hack to America as her j guest. ( < "Certainly, py dear," said Secretary Knox at once, delighted at the Ideu of giving his wife a woman's companionship on the voyage. Sails Home the Pet of the Ship. AnH OA 1 tiannAn?.l American cruiser Maryland slipped out from Honolulu harbor on October 5, flying the secretary of state's flag, she had a princess ub well as a queen on board. Two steamer chairs occupied the place of honor on the quarterdeck and the gallant young naval officer had two pairs of feet to wrap up in steamer rugs. On the bridge her father ruled, the absolute monarch that a captain Is at sea. On the quarterdeck Mrs. Knox reigned as queen, but shared her sway with Miss Priscilla. It was a sociable company that gathered in the admiral's cubin at meals. At the head of the table Bat Mrs. Knox, charm'ng every one by her grace and tact. Opposite her sat tlie secretary of state, genial man of the , nui iu, iii|iiuujui miu siaiesimn. i lien tlier?? were Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the interior; Hear Admiral Alfred Reynolds; Hugh Knox, the secretary's son; Hansford S Miller, chief of the far eastern division of the state department, and. of course, Captain Kllicott himself. And the "gallant captain's daughter" was the life of the table. But the finest of voyages must end. The Maryland dropped anchor in Seattle harbor, where Mrs. KUicott was | waiting to welcome her husband and daughter i It was a sad ship's company that 1 gave u farewell salute to the girl who .X _ ititr : :: "'A* y r if Capt.

Thousands I IniitMA A ?? ???? ? * iujuiu uiriiiBClvt'S UJ toe use OK strong cathartics, salt mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and tbo more one takes of them the less effective they become. A physic or purgative is seldom necessary, und much better and more permanent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be. a mild laxative medicine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet it is so comI ouuded, und contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person buffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and fbund nothing to benefit, them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It is a fact that millions of families have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like thoBe of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Borea, Ky., who used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic.
