graduated from college only a year or two ago,
and the youngest member of the family Phi
lander Chase Knox, Jr. age 49, has not vet
completed his education.
Secretary Knox has three homes For the
most part, nowadays he divides his time be-
tween Washington, d. c., and his famous coun.
try seat at Valley Forge, Pa-not far from
Philadelphia, and in the locality where the
Continental army spent the most memorable
winter OF the revoution--but he is likewise
loyal to Pittsburg, where he maintains an
apartment together with membership in Pitts
burg's leading clubs. such as the Americas and
Duquesne; and retains membership in the
Church of the Ascension-a congregation of
the Episcopal denomination
Secretary Knox's residence in Washington
is INTELLECTUALLY, one Of the most artistic city
houses in this country. 1t was formerly the
home of Mrs. George w. Childs widow of the
philanthropist, and is understood to have cost
Secretary Knox $120000 The Knox home is
located next door to that of Senator Hale of
Maine and within stones throw of the resi-
dence of Admiral Dewey and the house that
was occupied by William II. Taft during his
years of service as secretary of war In the
rear of the Knox residence is the secretary's
stable and garage-a model establishment of
the kind, that shelters several motor cars and
some of the horses of which the secretary is SO
fond
Incidentally it may be mentioned that one
of Secretary Knox's hobbies is horsehesh He
both rides and drives, and owns some of the
finest blooded horses in America Most of
these animals are kept at the secretary's coun-
try seat at Valley Forge, Pa. Whether in
Washington or ION the farm" it is Secretary
Knox's habit to take two-hour drive before
breakfast. He is usually up at six o'clock or
earlier and is thus enabled to return from his
drive in time for the morning meal at eight
o'clock.
The Knox farm at Valley Forge comprises
about 300 acres and adjoins the estate Of the
late Alexander J. Cassatt president of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad. 1t is in very truth an
ideal country playground with facilities pro-
vided for every imaginable diversion. First of
all there is golf course, for, be 1t known,
the secretary Of state is almost as enthusiastic
as the new president regarding the Scotch
game. Tenris courts and polo grounds are

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants to Do II, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer.

When you have a job OF painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the sur
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
The specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in
cludes a book Of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and q simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead key bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark. which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. IL your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond Of
Subject.

History Is q running account of how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not. get to a certain place, which
nobody ever heard Of, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that it would have made quite a differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the
Garden of Eden depends upon wheth-
er 1t is related by a man or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different In Eng
lish books from the way 1t reads in
our own books. The history of the
civil war depends upon which side of
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write It,
History is bore, not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure In it, but because it repeats
itself-Life.

Viewed from the Bosporus and half-hidden
by the morning mists, Constantinople was a
picture which beggared description. Like some
enchanted city of the Arabian Nights Tales"
the domes, pinnacles, towers embattled walls
and skypiercing minarets of the Turkish cap
ital burst from the clouds and seemed to float,
phantom-like. in space.
In this view Of Constantinople my fondest
anticipations were more than realized. There
something of more than earthly lowell
ness in the glittering panorama which gradu
ally unfolded itself to my delighted vision be-
meath that glowing oriental sky and stretched
away to the northward along both the Euro
pean and Asatic shores as far as the eye
could reach. The blue waves danced in the
sunlight as the curtain of mist was gradually
lifted from the lovely city, and thousand
tiny. graceful caiques darted here and there
across the laughing waters. The splendid
palaces of the early sultans, on Seragio Point

Seven Towers, the six beautiful minarets of

side to the lovely picture. by which much of
its poetry and romance were destined to be
dispeled.

pecuniary ambition and federal off,
1877 until 1901, he was plain Attorney
Knox, practicing under the firm name
of Reed &c Knox, his partner being
James II. Reed, well known Penn
sylvania attorney.
Having accumulated his share of
this worlds goods in private practice,
Mr.. Knox was DESTROYS of giving his
country the benefit of his wide knowl-
edge on law and his appointment as
attorney general of the United States
on April 8, 1901, was welcomed in
washington circles.
From that day his rise in official
life was rapid, just as had been his
rise in the legal world. Three years
later Pennsylvania decided to send
him to the senate, which it did, but
not for long.
He served less than five years in
that body and Mr.. Taft, then, pros
pective executive, saw possibilities in
him for secretary of state, to which
Office he was boosted, after a serial
struggle of words in which both the
house and senate participated at
length This in a whisper: There are
persons in Washington who say Sec
rotary of State Knox is destined to
become President Knox.
He was Pennsylvania candidate
for the office at the Republican con-
vention in Chicago a year ago, but 1t
was then only a native son upheaval.
His friends who are whispering
Knox for president in 1916"-they
want to give Taft four years more
say that to-day the Pennsylvania is
the logical one Of G. o. p. stamp for
the candidacy.
OF course, there are dozens of such
undeveloped booms around the ma
tional capital and Secretary Knox's
is only one of many, so only time
will tell.

street, died at II o'clock today.
Jorgensen was injured by fall at
Galena junction, ILL.,, July II, 1906. He
was brought home as soon after the
accident as he could be moved, and for
a long time was at st. Thomas hos
pital. Here an operation was performed
in the hope of reuniting the spine,
but there was so much vertebrate that
had been destroyed that the operation
was useless. The poor fellow, lying in
his room at the hospital, was the most
patient victim of unfortunate circum-
stances imaginable and never muir
muir was heard from him. His case was
the cause for comment on the part of
other patients in the hospital who
made more fuss over less serious all
ments.

parentage in Germany Aug. 8, 1859.
He was member of the Norwegian
lutheran church of this city, and be-
longed to the A. o. D. w and the
