Practical Tommy.

Col. F. NJ. House, President Will sons close friend and personal representative, told the following story in Washington recently as illustrative of the ease with which a question of doubt may be raised in the human mind: The teacher of the history class in public school related the story of some old Roman who swan across the Tiber three times before breakfast. At the mention of the three times across the river Tommy Smith pricked up his ears.
 Three times!" said Tommy, in some wonder. Did you say three times, Miss Nary"
 Yes" she answered, you don't doubt that a trained swimmer could do that, do you?"

In Illinois,. The prize-winning design
calls for a post which is built Of con-

POPE LEARNING OF
 KAISER'S HYPOCRISY

ROME. Italy. Oct 17.-After Ger, many's vague answer to the pontiff's peace note it has been expected that Dr. von Kuhlmaan would indicate some concrete conditions on which Germany was ready to make peace. Kuhlmann instead set forth, accord ing to the view now held here. prin- ciples diametrically opposed 10 those which actuated Pope Benedict in his appeal to the belligerents.
 If imperialism and militarism are still to be the watchword of the Ger man governing powers, Vatican circles remark, the note sent to the Pope is a hypocritical document, in which the chancellor tried to 1atter the pontiff and make him believe that Germany was entirely in accord with them.
 The German ruler, it is perceived, does not want an equal peace. but world power.
