Storm Left Hawk With One Feather

Storm Left Hawk With One Feather.
Lightning did some queer stunts
here. says the Columbus Dispatch.
during a storm, among them the
knocking of all but solitary feather
from, the body of mouse hawk,
which. strange to relate, still lives to
bear mute evidence of the occurrence.
The hawk was found under the
tree which had been struck the follow.
Ing morning when the hands of the
l. d. Stone farm were inspecting the
work of the storm. The bird was
barely alive and stripped OF all but
one feather. presented a sorry ap.
pearance. 1t was taken to the house
and fed and bids fair to recover.

Box for Trousseau,

Every fall bride will want a box to

boxes of cedar may be purchased for
little, and are made in very con-
venient way. Instead of the lid lift
ing up, as did the box of great-grand.

dropped down, revealing two drawers
to hold the things. The box locks Sc.

Edwards 200 Suits.

Some one has said that King Ed.
ward never wears the same suit
twice. This is an exaggeration. The
king exchanges his attire about three
times day, and consequently would
need more than 1.0O0 new suits year,
costing something like $4,000, il such
q story were true. As matter Of
fact, he orders about thirty new suits
every year. and at Buckingham pal
ace, Windsor castle and Sandring-
ham he keeps stock of about zoo. .

BIRTHDAY OF SECRETARY KNOX

Washington. d. c., May 6.-Philan'
der c. Knox, Secretary OF State, was
reminded Of his birthday when he
arrived AZ his Office this morning and
found o great bunch OF roses on
his desk. During the day he was kept
busy receiving congratulations from
his colleagues of the cabinet. the sub
ordinate officials OF the Department
Of state. the members OF the diplo-
matte corps who CHANGED TO call. and
Senators. Representatives and scores
OF other public officials among whom
the Secretary Of state Is deseryedly
popular
Although he has now reached bis
huy-sl=th year Secretary Knox looks
scarcely a day older than he did when
he made nj first appearance In Wash
lngton IN 1901 TO take up his duties
as Attorney General In the cabinet Of
President Mckinley. He was then
comparatively unknown, except In the
legal profession. outside Of Western
Pennsylvania. Today he is one OF the
best known men In the United States.
snd In ability is regarded generally
as measuring up to the very high stem

sherman. John Hay. Elihu Root and
others who have held the portfolio Of
State In recent years.
The Secretary Of State is tireless
worker though no man enjoys the
pleasures OF life more than he. Il Is
no uncommon thing for him to appear
AZ his Office before any OF his subordi.
mates In the morning. II is his habit
TO examine personally every import
ant document. letter or reference that
concerns the Affairs Of his depart
ment. This has developed Ire fac
ulty Of self-control which inyades even
the domain Of sleep. Day or night
the Secretary Of State can awaken az
any hour. or AZ the end OF any period
OF time which he may have deter.
mined. lie can take a half-hour nap
and waken himself on the minute. In
Washington the early.rising habit is

Both the Secretary and Mrs Knox
are members OF the Protestant Epis-

Secretary Of State Is a man Of gener-
Gus Impulse. but he never permits any
record OF his bsneiactions to become
public. 4 characteristic instance IS
related by g prominent and wealthy
woman who called on him IN behalf

it is no uncommon one I'm County Pala-

man who was sent to Jail recently

greatly impressed with the precautions
taken to prevent the prisoners engaging
in conversation. There seemed to be
warders everywhere, and no one was al.
lowed to utter a word.
On the Sunday he was in the church
the Psalm given was the Old Hundredth
Beside him were two old jailbirds. and
instead of the orthodox words beginning
IAN people that on earth do dwell" this
pair sang a hymn of their own IN conye,
sat1onal style, which went something as
follows. First convict sings:
How long are you in for?
! am doing sixty days;

Sing low or else they'll maybe hear"
Second convict replies:
You are a lucky pie-can
I've got twel-elve months TO serve.
Tried to break into a house;
Some'dy must have gfen me away."
BY this method they exchanged histories
during the singing.
