orient, especially in China, where he was
lieutenant of the Asiatic station in 1872.
This was one of the most interesting de-
tails in the whole of his service. His per-

as to the large cosmopolitan contingent that

Hongkong, where he was accepted very
seriously as a great American nabob. This
was quite natural. for his presence and

stock stories.

The best true story told about Knox
concerns a fee he received in the In
dianapolis street railway franchise case.
In that case he was associated with the
late President Harrison. He had his trunk
packed for a vacation in Europe when he
received a telegraphic request to come into
the case. He wired back that he had
made arrangements to go 10 Europe and
could not. Back came a message telling
him to name a fee that would induce him
to remain. Desiring to discourage the
importunate client, he named 500, 900. His
offer was accepted.
After the fees were paid Harrison and
Knox met at Atlantic City.

written all over his face. Charged s25,-

An old lady at Brownsville. Pa, the place
where Knox was born, thinks she laid for
Knox the foundation of his millions. The
elder Knox was a banker, but the sons
allowance was never so large that he
spurned an opportunity to add a dollar or
two.
According TO the story the INST dollar,
a silver cart wheel" he ever earned was
by digging potatoes for the old lady. That
was during the civil war and silver dollars
were not a familiar sight then even to the
son of a banker, and Congressman Ernest
F. Acheson. who represents the district in
which Brownsville is situated, says the
old lady told him that when Philander got
it he looked at It, dumbfounded, and re-
marked: Il didn't know anybody in the
world had as much money at that"
The standard Washington story about
Knox concerns the pair Of roadsters he
brought here after he became attorney
general. Mrs. Roosevelt was invited 10
ride behind them and as Mr.. Knox was
