WITH PREMIER ASQUITH

ROME. April Herbert H. Asquith

by Pope Benedict, who talked with the

of the chamber, who accompanied him
to the Clementine hall, where the papal
major domo and other members of the

WEASELS," F
Piled MRS. QUACK.

when one of them does kill duck he
isn't satisfied, but keeps on killing and
killing and killing. I'm sure one
would make him a dinner if that is
what he wants. Do you know what I
call those creatures?'
What? - asked Peter. eagerly
.'Two-lesged weasels, replied Mrs.
Quack Yes, sir. I call them two
legged weasels Do you know why"
Peter thought for minute. Il guess
because they kill just for the love CT
killing" said he. Il know Shadow
the Weasel does. He hunts and kills
just long as he can find anything
that he can kill, and seems to find
pleasure in just killing. That is why
everybody on the Green Meadows and
in the Green Forest hates him. even
his own relatives Peter shivered a
little at the very thought of Shadow
the Weasel.
Mrs. Quack nodded. You've guessed
right" said she. These two-legged
weasels are worse than Shadow, be-
cause he hunts fairly and they don't,
and because he always kills those he
catches. and they often simply break
the wings or otherwise terribly hurt
the ones they shoot at and leave them
to suffer, unable to take care of them
selves. oh, dear! I'm afraid that is
what has happened to Mr.. Quack"
once more poor Mrs. Quack WIS
quite overcome with her troubles and
sorrows. Peter wished with all his
heart that he could do something to
comfort her, but, of course, he couldn't
SO he just sat still and waited until
she could tell him just what did happen
to Mr.. Quack.

EXPLAINS DISTRICT ITEMS.
Commissioner Kutz Appears Before
House Subcommittee,

Commissioner Kutz appeared before
the subcommittee in charge of the Dis
trict appropriation bill late today at
the request of Representative Page of
North Carolina. chairman of the sub
committee. The subcommittee had
found in going over the bill several
small details in relation to the en-
gineer work of the District which need
ed explanation before the bill could be
reported to the House. Some of the
items were in the water department.
the school system and in the estimates
concerning the Aqueduct bridge.
The District bill is practically ready
for report, but the items have not been
totaled, and the legislative provisions
have not been drafted. The committee
will ask for rule to make permissible
some of the proposed provisions. None
of these will be legislative riders on
subjects unconnected with the appro-
priation bill it is understood.

Mrs. QuaCk's Name for
Hunters.

The more Peter Rabbit heard about
the dreadful things that happened on
Mr.. Quacks long journey the more
glad he was that he was a rabbit and
not a duck. Mrs. Quack had told him
of how the hunters with terrible guns
had used other ducks to make Mr.. and
Mrs Quack and their friends think
feeding place was perfectly safe. and
it had seemed to him so unfair that
if Mrs. Quack hadn't been so very
much in earnest he wouldn't have be-
leved it. Not one of the meadow and
forest people who were always trying
to catch him would do a thing like
that
Its all true" said Mrs. Quack. and
those hunters do other things just as
unfair. Sometimes awful storms will
come I'D, and we just have to find
places where We can rest. Those
hunters will hide near those places
and shoot at us when We are so tired
that We can hardly move a wing. 1t
wouldn't he bad if hunter would
Reddy Fox is. but heN seems to want
to kill EVERY duck. I've seen the
most awful sights
Mrs. Quack paused to shudder After
a moment she continued: i've looked
down into one of the hiding places of
hunter and seen great pile of my
friends which he had Silled-ever So
many of them--and yet he would be
trying to kill more. Foxes and hawks
and owls catch a good many Young
ducks, just as they do young rab bits,
but You know how we feel about that
They only hunt when they are hungry
and they hunt fairly. When they have
got enough to make dinner they stop.
They keep our wits sharp. If we do
not keep out of their way it is our
own fault. 1t is a kind of game-the
game of life. I guess it is Old Mother
Natures way of keeping us wide
awake and sharpening our wits. and
so making us better fitted to live
With these two-legsed creatures
with terrible guns it is all different.
We don't have any chance at all. IL
they hunted us as Reddy Fox does
tried to catch us themselves-it would
be different But they don't Their
terrible guns kill when we are a LONG
way off. and there isn't any way for
us to know of the danger. And then
