Mrs. Senator Knox Makes Butter.

Far out of the common IL of pres
ents is the kind of gift Mrs. p. c. Knox
makes now and then to certain of her
closest friends. Books? No. Pictures?
Pshaw. Jewels? Never? Just dainty lit
tie cases, holding each five pounds of
butter.
No grocery stuff this. but from the
Knox dairy, and immensely proud of
it is the wife of the Senator from Pen
nsylvania. About three years ago
her eldest SOL, Reed Knox, elected to
be a farmer, and his parents estab-
lished him on a rich stretch of land
near the famous Valley Forge. The
Senator and Mrs. Knox are delighted
with rustic life and spend much time
on the farm.
Last winter Mrs. Knox suffered from
nervous trouble, so she cancelled her so
cial engagements and retired to Val
ley Forge. She spent the summer and
autumn in the dairy, experimenting
the milking and churning, and at odd
times she read advanced works on the
subject.
She is as proud of her butter as any
model farmers wives in old-fashioned
English novels, and during the fall and
winter she has been distributing the
proofs of her proficiency in the butter
making line.

Bank Stocks TaIuabIe.

A-recent list of New York City s
eighty-one commercial banks, with the
latest prices bid for the 500 shares
of each, shows that only one stock is
offered at par. All the other eighty
stocks are bid for at a premium, the
prices offered ranging from S11O foi
three or four, to $1,000 for one stock.
Other very high prices are $4,000,
$1,G50, $1,000 and 81 800, one of each.
Only twenty-one of the eighty-one
stocks are bid for at prices below $500.
Forty-one range from $500 to $500 and
twelve from $500 to $1,000.
This is striking testimony to Ameri-
can banking success and also to the
rapidly growing Importance of New
York as q world money-center.
