and ten, and to have resided in
his adopted state for within one
year of half a century, is the re-
cord of Douglas Knox, who ceIe-
brated his 10th birthday anniver-
sary Monday. To have lived that
life honorably-to have served his
state, county and city in despons =
Bile positions without so much as a
suspicion OF wrong doing-to have
reared eight statwart sons and
daughters TO become useful citizens
to have the respect and esteem of
his neigh bors and friends-and to
have a heart so young that he can
enjoy the pranks and froliss of
children and a mind and brain so
alert that he can impart wisdom
and good council upon all oCca-
attributes add still
further to his record.
Monday night in the Russell
hotel dining room he was given a
surprise party in celebration OF the
event. And no surprise could
have been more complete, when he
stepped into the room and found
himself surrounded by nearly a
