ut was a strange. though rather a graft
flying experience" said an intelligent young
woman who had recently returned from an
extended visit iii Germany and who was
relating incidents of her travels. You
have no idea OF the widespread anglo
phobia that exists there, and it caused me
great annoyance until l found remedy for
it. | speak German quite well, but my pro-
nunciation and features tell quite plainly
that / am not German.
Wherever / went l found that / was
taken for an English woman, and that is
what led TO the annoyance, for the feeling
there against the English is most intense.
1t is carried so far that l actually found
myself not welcome in hotels until / eX-
planned that l was an American, and then
too much couldn't be done for me.
1T was the same way in society, and at
times l was actually treated rudely until
made my nationality known.
" 'Fraulein is English woman, they
would say with a cold look and distant
manner that was exceedingly chilly.
No an American i answered time and
time again, and then came comfortable
and assuring thaw. 1 became exceedingly
tired of the conditions and finally struck on
a remedy that proved most effective.

American flag no larger than my thumb
and never appeared in public without wear
ing it in a conspicuous position. That set
tied il. I had no more trouble.

TROUBLESOME QUESTIONS
For Which Mont PeIee and La SOuf-

Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer
George, dear, why is it that the scien-
the persons don't try to investigate the in
side of the earth?"
II suppose they consider it beneath them,
my love-"
There. George, you are trying TO joke
again. I'm serious about this-real Sc
rious. 1t seems to me that il would be do
ing the world great service if somebody
could find out just what it is stuffed with. -
That is the woman OF ii, my dear. You
want TO get at the cotton batting and the
sawdust. Yes, you do. You are consume
by a ruthless curiosity. You want TO find
the funny business that makes the doll say
papa and mamma It's the destructive
instinct that all women possess"
Why, George, you're horrid!
"Oh, L know your sex. We've had several
women in our family. l knew all about
you when 1 married you. But suppose you
could get your destructive little scissors
into the inside of the globe. Would it do
you any good TO find out that the cotton
batting was guncotton and the sawdust
giant POWDER"
George, you are mean thing. 7 don't
care the littlest bit what's inside the old
earth. Only it does seem as If We ought to
know. Perhaps could guard against
things better if we knew what to expect"
Pooh pooh, my dear. The chances are
If you knew what 70 expect you wouldn't
sleep a wink afterward Your head would
be filled with the widest apprehension.
Your ears would be strained to catch the
hollow crash that fOretold the end of every
thing. You'd walk pussy-footed for fear of
breaking through the crust. You'd have a
sulphur respiratOr and a lava cellar and a
steel umbrella that would shed cinders. Oh
you'd enjoy your inside knowledge, don't
think"
George. I'm not going to suggest any
thing serious again. You make light OF
everything All l had in mind was a hole
bored down into the earth far enough to
enable us TO know what's going on down
there"
"And I suppose when you found out you'd
pull the hole up and fold it away for future
use?"
George. I'm not going to say another
word to YOU"

Has Talk With the Pope on the Phil.
ippine Question.

Rome. June Gov. VIM. Taft, OF
the Philippines. had an audience with
the pope Thursday.
While talking with the pope. Gov.
Taft reviewed in a summary way. the
questions in the Philippines which re-
Quire settlement. He pointed out 10
his holiness that the readjustment of
the relations of the church and state
in the islands was not an indication
or hostility of the United States to the
Catholic church. but declared that such
REIMBURSEMENT was merely a necessity
under the American constitution. Gov.
Taft referred to the prosperity and the
freedom OF the Roman Catholic church
In the United States. and cited these
conditions as an assurance that the
vatican had nothing to fear from the
extension Of the authority of the Unit
ed States over the Philippine islands
Replying TO Judge Taft. the pontiff
expressed the greatest pride in the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States and intense interest In the great
republic. He said he earnestly desir-
ed to help the American administra-
ton of the Philippines in every posi-
bic way and he assured Gov. Taft that
the vatican would approach all ques-
tons raised in the broadcast and most
conciliatory spirit. The pope said also
that matters of detail in connection
with the questions to be decided would
be referred to a committee of cardi-
nails. whereby would be considered at
length. and that all the issues would
be treated with the sole aim of roach
ing settlement satisfactory to all par
ties concerned.
The pope appeared to be in excel
lent health during his interview with
Gov. Taft and was of vivacious hui
NOR. He referred pleasantly to Arch
bishop Ireland in what he had to say
concerning the Roman Catholis church
in the United States.
