Good Story Teller.

Senator Knox tells many good sto-
ries, and the beauty Of them is that
they still have the dew of youth upon
their brow. This may be due to a sense
Of discrimination in Knox or it may be
owing to the fact that Chauncey NJ.
Depew and Leslie NJ. Shaw have used
up all the old stories.
The following is Knox's Philadelphia
turtle tale:
A man stood before a restaurant
where three large turtles were dis
played. One hand was in his mouth,
but with the other he was poking at
the turtles.
Here said the proprietor, keep
away from there or you will get hurt"
''Hurt!" said the man. taking his
finger from his mouth and eying it
ruefully. II have been hurt already,
but am now trying to find out which
is the head and which is the tail Of
this animal, so that I can tell whether
have been bitten or stung."
Senator Knox's physician advised
him to quit using tobacco. A few days
later he happened in unexpectedly and
! found the senator contentedly putting
| at large black cigar.
Here, senator" he said, II thought
told you to quit that
"Quit what?" asked Knox innocently.
"Why, quit using tobacco"
! 'Tobacco! Why, my dear doctor,
am not using tobacco. I am smoking
a cigar Senator Dolliver gave me-"

dent one day. Knox was eagerly &C.
costed by bunch Of reporters.

W. yHY not hold a convention Of
M presidential candidates? There
W are enough Of them, and they
are more interested than any
body else Let them get together and
fight it out. The first number on the
programme would be q speechmaking
contest to show which candidate has
the most real oratory and which the
most tapdoOdle. The second test would
be to determine who could talk the
longest on the tariff without commit
ting himself. a third exercise might
be to discover which aspirant could
make the most imposing speech on
money and never get below the sur
face Of the question. Other tests might
we'll be to show which candidate could
be the most undertaking friend Of la
boz without losing the support Of CAPT
tai, which could do the most things to
the railroads without the railroads
knowing anything about it, which
could hammer the trusts most fercely
without the trusts resenting it and
withdrawing their support, which
could most effectively oppose corpora
ton contributions to the campaign
fund in future campaigns and who
could best impersonate the one and
only simon pure Roosevelt legatee
without offending Roosevelt's enemies.
This sort Of forensic foot race would
not only help the public in sizing up
the entries, but would be most valua-
bic training for the candidates them
selves. 1t would give them a chance to
get acquainted with each other, which

would be as pleasant as the enforced
association Of a bunch Of suitors to the
hand Of the same girl. They could also
give each other points in the high art
OF side stepping and in the higher one
OF saying nothing in an earnest and
d1gnified manner. BY all means let US
have a convention Of presidential pos
s1bllltles. OF course most of them
would be presidential impossibiities,
but they would not know this until
fate had tipped over one or two houses
on them.
1t would be great spectacle for the
plain people. Imagine the Hon Charles
warren Fairbanks Of Indiana proving
by long and eloquent argument that
things equal to the same thing are
equal to each other, provided it is not
otherwise arranged in the tariff sched-
ules. Fancy the Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska declaring
with imprisoned fervor for the gov
eminent ownership Of railroads-after
1850. Picture the manly and monu-
mental form of the Hon. William
Howard Taft Of Ohio arising in it's
place and from it small and piping
voice issuing to this effect:
You'd scarce expect one Of my age
TO speak in public on the stage,
But you just ought to hear my pa.
Then the Hon. Leslie Mortimer Shaw
of New York and Denison, Ia. would
come forward to tell little anecdote,
after which the appreciative chorus of
other candidates would sing:
In the days of old Rameses-
Are you on?

discretion in his business and public
life. Mrs. Knox asserts that he cannot
keep secret in his own family. It was
planned to surprise Philander Junior
with a pianola on Christmas. The elder
Philander, however. met the boy and
in searching about for news that would
please his little chum fell on the p:-
anola. So when Mrs. Knox was ready
to spring the surprise Philander Junior
remarked gleefully:
"Oh. yes, l know-the pianoa."
Mrs. Knox looked at her husband,
but he was extremely busy with the
morning paper.
Senator Knox has fad Of buying
rare editions and old prints. Mrs. Knox,
hearing of an auction where some
books she knew he would want were
on sale. decided to surprise him, as
the senator had to leave the city the
day before the auction came off. When
she began bidding on her choice edi-
tons, she found one persistent bidder
in the field. After running the prices
up to four or five times what they
should be she was reluctantly forced
to quit the field.
"Who got those editions on which |
was bidding?" she asked the auctioneer
after the SALE
''Senator knox," was the reply. and
he was surprised to see the lady almost
faint.
1t was true. Knox had his repre-
sentative at the sale. and Mrs. Knox
