Miss Lockett was down at the turn, and

Knox as a Lawyer

Knox was once described as "a lawyer from
stem to stern''-always giving his very best
services to his client. There's a story of his
early professional career that may be re-
peated here. 1t doesn't illustrate his legal
ability or methods, but briefly, this is 1t:
An important case was about to come to trial.
One of the parties thereto retained ex-Presi-
dent Harrison for the sake of the prestige
lent by the name Knox was also engaged
for the sake of his ability as a trial lawyer.
Harrison was promised fee of $4,000. Knox
was so busy when he was asked to take a
hand in the case that he refused to consider
the matter; but after being repeatedly pressed
he said jocuarly, 'Why, yes, I'll argue the
case for 100000" Done" said his visitor
After the trial. Knox, knowing, or at least
thinking, that he had been ridiculously over
paid, went to Harrison and, wishing to do
the fair thing, suggested that they pool their
fees and divide even Sir" said the ex-
President, looking on the 'sawed-off" young
man in some amazement, "I am not In the
habit of dividing my fees with any one"
He didn't that time. There's another story,
too. boy. badly hurt in an explosion of
natural gas. was gathered up and taken to a
hospital. Agents OF the corporation which
was responsible for the accident cheated him
into an outrageous settlement. Remember
he was boy; poor. friendless, manned. Be
sides, he was black Men who know him say
the passion for justice is the finest quality
in the manhood OF Phllander Chase Knox
He heard about the boy, gave battle and got
him $4,000. 1t is said in Pittsburgh that he
put more steam and interest into the case
than in any other he ever tried.
Knox likes fishing and billiards, but his
favorite diversion is driving fine trotting
horses. His personality is not known to
any large number of people. Mr. KnoxS
chooses his friends with the careful discrimi-
nation of a collector In his hours of ease
he is a rare teller of good stories and de-
lghtfully companionable. In his daily walk
he is not austere; but no one ever saw an
other Senator, or anybody else, clap him
jovially on the back and hail him as "Tshil."
Mr.. Knox looks more like French or Italian
churchman whose avocation is diplomacy
and statecraft than an American Senator or
President. But you can't always tell from
the looks OF a man how far he will CO.
