GERMAN RULER is
GREATLY RELIEVED
d STEVEN BURNETT.


n ERLIN. Germany, March The
X kaiser, they say, has been in bet
ter mood lately in spite of the fact
that things have been going against
him Reluctantly he gave up his an
nual trip to Corfu, where he was to
enjoy a few weeks Of perfect rest at
beautiful Achiellian, and the recent
events in Sweden made quite a deep
Impression on him, but in spite of all
he remained cheerful COurtiers insist
that the change for the better in the
imperial mood came on the day when
the crown prince was taken i'll with an
attack OF the humps, disease, when,
though In no way dangerous, has the
effect of most efficiently curbing the
spirits of the patient, and in spite Of
all his recent promises of good behay-
Tor the crown prince needed the curb
very badly SO the mumps came as
gOdsend to his worried father.
The crown princes latest slip, i'm
mediately before he was bOWled over
by the humps was his behavior at the
congress Of the German Agriculture
council where he openly endorsed the
proposal Of Herr Won Oldenburg,
Junker of the very worst and most ef-
1usiVely TeacuOnary type, that all Ger
man young men should be forced to
stay on the land until they had served
their term in the army in order to
owners and all young girls should be
held back in the villages until they
were Of full age for the same purpose.
Aroused Indignation.
The approval Of the crown prince OF
these antiQuated measures attacking
individual liberty aroused a shout Of
Indignation all over the country which
could not help being felt inside the
royal palace, and the kaiser was at
his wits end how to silence his reck-
less son until the time when he had to
be sent on his long African voyage.
Then the humps came and the kaiser
drew a sigh Of relief.
Police Are Arbitrary.
No city in the world is cursed with
a more arbitrary police force than Ber-
lin, but If we are to believe the word
of Herr Won JagOw, the head Of the
police department, We have only our
selves to blame, as according to his
view, every city gets just the police it
deserves.
To number of Berliners, who, after
visiting London made unfavOrable
comparisons between the smiling, pO-
lite and popular hobbies" of that city
and the sword carrying, steel helmeted
guards Of Berlin, Herr Won Jagow re-
piled that they might look for the
reason Of the difference in the fact
that while LOndoners are a peace low
ing, law abiding set Of people, Ber-
liners are like wild beasts who must
be curbed by unsparing use of saber

Used the Sword
The policeman seized the reins and
stopped the truck, but as soon as he
let go the reins, the driver whipped up
the horses and drove off at a gallOp.
When the policeman again overlook J
him by means Of a street car, the
driver gave him a taste of his fists.

the drivers brother who tried to shield |
him from the sword of the policeman. |
This is Herr Won JagOw's view, but !
e does not convince anybody here. I
The root Of the evil is to be found in I
the fact that while the LOndOner sees |
