Some time ago it was proposed to

the adherents OF the heroes. Many
sites have been suggested, but up to
the present time there has been no
action looking to settlement of the
question. The statue of John Paul

- KNOX, slated for secretary of
state. is one of the most delightful
men socially to be found anywhere.
Golf, automobiling and driving are his
outdoor recreations. Billiards and
reading furnish indoor amusement.
When Mr.. Knox came to Washing

as a corporation lawyer caused 1t to

gruff, brusque kind. Instead of a
grumpy curmudgeon, he was revealed

Stories of Taft's Secretary of State

came attorney general. Mrs. Roose-
welt was invited to ride behind them
and as Mr.. Knox was driving away
from the White House the group of
newspaper men fell to specializing as
to why one of them had not had his
wits about him enough to ask the
names of the horses. One of the party
said their names were Highball and
Siphon. A serious minded chap there
upon wrote a story about 1t and sent
tit to his paper. When it appeared
Knox was very angry and the upshot
of it was a retraction by the news
paper.
Another story that angered Knox
was to the effect that he had told the
late Senator Hoar that OF course he
had quit the employ of the Carnegie
Steel Company before accepting Presi-
dent McKinley's offer of the attorney
generalship. He regarded it as an insult
to Mckinley to imply that he would
appoint a man who would consider 1t
necessary to give assurance that he
had observed the ethics of the profess
sion.
Senator Knox bought his magnifi-
cent home in Washington from Mrs.
G. w. Childs. 1t is one of the finest
houses in Washington and is well
adapted for receiving the diplomatic
corps on New Years day, according
to custom.
Mrs. Knox is considered one of the
most charming women in o.cial life.
Her entertainments are among the
most elaborate in Washington.

What They Missed.

The boy came in the East side cafe
with package which he began to un-
wrap. He took out of this package
three little cages, each containing a
yellow canary bird. He hung them up
side by side OF the wall, and taking a
bottle from a table began to scrape on
1t with cork, trying to get them to
sing. The birds looked sleepily at
him, but they refused to sing. The
more he scraped the quieter they be-
came. Not chirp. He kept this up
for an hour at least, then, wrapping
the birds up In paper, murmured
something about their not being IN
voice that night, bowed politely and
took his departure.
