ON WARSHIP

Miss Priscilla Ellicott
Came on Cruiser Maryland.

the Secretary of State, Whose
Guest She Was, She Crossed the

,
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

A girl 011 a warship in midoeoan!
Was ever a ship's rrew so privileged
I before? Mascots there have been

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 ,

"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" "*"

can't you take me with you instead of
leaving me to sail on a passenger

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

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.

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. Hunt in 1KSI. that barred
her from her father's ship. Some |
young women would have cried a bit

home. Hut a daughter of the navy |
is resourceful; she knows all about
red tape and how it is tied and untied. ;

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

"Certainly, py dear," said Secretary
Knox at once, delighted at the Ideu

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

by an Knglish manufacturing Urn? by
the addition of certain chemicals to th.sensitive

which makes overexposure impossible
This is particularly valuable in iu- !
side work, where the brilliantly flluminated

more, and in this case It is possible
to expose for the shadow parts without

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
