A Poser.

From the New York Times.
 Dr. Ormond of the Princeton univer sity faculty is as noted in local cir cles for his physical rotundity as for his metaphysical profundity Some time ago, on entering the nursery at his home, he surprised his offspring half dozen young boys and small girl-in ardent discussion of the "Ab- solute." One young philosopher turned to him in appeal:
 Father, can man be absolutely good?"
 No" the professor replied, "a man can't be absolutely good"
 Father" another young sage de- manded, "cah man be absolutely bad?"
 And the little daughter, aged four, piped up.
 Father, can man be absolutely fat?"
 But the philosophers equilibrium was too embarrassed to apply.

Vanderbilt, sa; Washington, 12.

Nashville. November 1.-yanderbilt won, SS to 12, from Washington univer- sity on Dudley field today in stubborn ly contested football game. Both teams were strong in offensive work, while their defenses were weak. It seemed from the start that victory would be with the eleven who kept the ball and Van derbilt scored along that line. Wash ingtons gains for the most part were made through Vanderbilts lines, while Vanderbilt's ground-gaining was done around tackle and by end runs, her backs making several sprints for as good as 30 yards, while Blake. behind splendid inter ference, dashed down the field for 65 yards.
