Senator Knox of Pennsylvania does
not look as though he weighed over
12O pounds, but when registering in
Pittsburg the other day gave his
weight as 1853. The senator is practi'
cally a stranger in his voting precinct.
When he registered last year none OF
the watchers new him. On giving
his name as Philander c. Knox one OF
these officials stepped forward with
the remark: THAT feller's a ringer
He amt no senator" Just then a well
known citizen happened along and set
ell doubts at rest.
