A WOODMAN IN
TROUBLE IN SCOTLAND.

| some time since private soldier
by the name of Richard Lee was
taken before the magistrate of Glas-
gov for playing cards during divine
service
1t seems that the sergeant had COM
manded the soldiers to church, and
when the parson had read the prayer
he gave out the text. Those who had
Bible or common prayer book re-
ferred to it, but this soldier had
neither Bible nor common prayer
book. Instead he pulled out pack
of playing cards and spread them out
before him, first looking at one and
then another. The sergeant of the
company saw him, and said Richard,
put up the cards, this is no place for
them"
'Never mind that" said Richard.
When the service was over, the
constable took Richard a prisoner
and brought him before the mayor.
WELL" said the mayor, what
have you brought the soldier here
for?"
For playing cards in church."
We'll, soldier, what have you to
say for yourself?"
Much, SIR
II hope very good, if not l must
punish you
81 have BEEN" said the soldier,
"about six weeks on the march, l
have neither Bible nor prayer book;
| have nothing but pack of cards,
and l hope to satisfy your worship
of the purity of my intentions"
Then spreading the cards before
the mayor, he began with the ace.
when / see the ace it reminds me
that there is but one God. When /
see the deuce it reminds me of the
Father and Son. When see the trey
it reminds me of the father, Son and
Holy Ghost. When ] see the four
it reminds me of the four evangelists
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
When l see the FIVE it reminds me of
the five wise virgins who trimmed
their lamps; there were ten-five
were wise and FIVE were foolish and
were shut out. When l see the six
it reminds me that in six days the
Lord made heaven and earth. When
see the seven it reminds me that
on the seventh day God rested from
the great work he had made and hal
lowed it. When l see the eight 1t re-
minds me of the eight righteous per-
sons that were saved-Noah and his
wife, his three sons and their wives.
When l see the nine it reminds me
of the nine leapers that were cleansed
by our Savior, there were nine of the
ten who never returned thanks.
When / see the ten it reminds me
of the Ten Commandments, which
God handed down to Moses on the
tables of stone. When | see the King
1t reminds me of the Great King of
Heaven, who is God Almighty. When
! see the queen II reminds me of the
queen of Sheba, who visited Solmon,
for she was as wise a woman as he
was man; she brought with her fifty
boys and fifty girls, all dressed in
boys apparel. for King Solmon to tell
which were boys and which were
girls. King Solmon sent for water
for them to wash. The girls washed
to the elbows and the boys to the
wrists, so King Solmon told by that"
WELL" said the mayor, you have
described every card in the pack ex-
cept one"
What Is that?"
THE Knave," said the mayor.
Il will give your honor a descrip-
ton Of that, too, if you will not be
angry"
II will not" said the mayor, "if
you do not term me to be the knave."
1.-The greatest knave | know of is
the constable who brought me here. "
! II do not know" said the mayor,

TO FIND BETTER
SITE FOR LANDING
OF BIG BALLOON
Commissioner Gross Impress
ed With Pleas of Park
Golf Club Officers

Park Commissioner r.. u. Gross
arranged for a conference 10 be
held late this afternoon with j.
Herbert Thomas, president, the Rev
DR.. Ellis n. Kremer, vice-presidcnt
of the Harrisburg Park Golf Asso-
ciaticn, and the chairman of tho
committee, arranging to have u org
dirig.e balloon land here.
The golf officials protested against
the proposed plan to have the big
balloon land in Reservoir Park, de-
claring the thousands of persons
who would go there to see it would
ruin the turf and cause hundreds of
dollars worth of damage.
Because of these complaints Com
missioner Gross said he will mako
an effort to have the landing place
changed as no permanent arrange
ments for the use Of Reservoir Park
had been made. He said that it
might be possible that the damage
to the golf course would be serious
and that it would be advisable, if at
all possible, to provide another site
for the dirigible to come to ground.
1t it's understood other locations
are being considered now and are
to be discussed at the conference of
the officials this afternoon. During
the last few years much money has
been spent to keep the green at Res
ervoir in condition with the result
that IL is one of the finest courses
available for golfers, many of whom
have evidenced much anxiety about
the damage which may result If the
dir;2ible is landed in the park.

THOUSANDSLOSTON
CITY'S PUBLIC DUMPS
Money Saved by Careful Sorting of Waste Material Would
Buy Many Shoes For Orphans and Feed Armcnans

The Armenia fund would be en-
riched by many dollars or hundreds
of pairs of shoes might be purchased
for orphan children of the city, with
the money that the old paper, bottles
and other junk would bring from
junk men, city health officials say.
Hundreds OF dollars worth of this
material is annually being sent to the
city dump, city health officials, pre-
pairing for the annual spring cleanup
which opens on May 3, said to-day,
in plea that city people be more
saving of this old material.
During the first two months of the
year, 13,407 cubic yards of waste
material was sent to the city dumps
from Harrisburg residences and in
cludcd in this was much paper and
other material that could be further
utilized in manufacture and for
which city junkmen arc ready to pay
good prices.
Just now many tons of old ma
terial, accumulated during the win
ter. is being removed from house
holds to city dumps and every effort
is being made by city health officials,
in line with the plea OF the Depart
ment of Commerce, to have house
holders remove the valuable ma
terial from among the waste. The
volume of such material to be re-
moved by the city is expected TO
greatly increase within the next sew
eral weeks and especially during the
cleanup week.
The amount of valuable waste ma
terial placed on the city dumps an
nually totals approximately 2,600,-
900 pounds, it is estimated from
Department of Commerce figures.

UNFAIR, " SAYS
STROUP OF COAL
MINE EDITORIAL
Telegraph Didn't Give Com
panies Square Deal, Says
Lawyer For Operators

Michael e. Stroup, District Attor-
ney, who also is counsel for the coal
companies in the upper end of the
coEnty, takes issue with the Harris
burg Telegraph in statement is
Sltal to-day because this newspaper
voiced editorially the popular belief
that the coal companies are bluffing
in their offers to sell their proper
ties for Il price which is a mere
fraction of the assessment value
PLACED on them by the County
Commissioners expert.
The Telegraph in the editorial
mentioned staunchly supported
Counlv Commissioners Stine and
Cumller in their stand for u reas-
sessment and expressed the opinion
that If the coal companies did not
believe they are receiving a square
del. the matter should be fought out
in the courts.
Mi. Stroup thinks that the coal
companies were not treated fairly,
in that some doubt was cast on the
sincerity of the advertisements Of
fer;ng their properties for sale at a
given sum far below the amount at
which they are assessed. This de-
vice TO obtain lower assessments
instance where county authorities
have attempted to obtain what they
deemed n fair amount of taxes from
coal lands
lie also expresses the belief that
there Is nothing unreasonable in the
placing of valuation of less than
two million on properties in the
operation of which more than two
million dollars were paid out in
wages alone last year. The District
Attorney goes at length into the edi-
torial in question and gives it as his
opinion that the Telegraph is en-
tirely mistaken. that the coal COM
panie;' are absolutely right and that
great Injustice has been done the
operators by this newspaper. He
S so much in earnest about 1t that
he has authorized the publication Of
his statement in full in the advertis-
ing columns of the Telegraph to-
day.

Berlin, April while admitting
there was difference of opinion
among German generals as to the
practicability of lighting to maintain
the imperial regime in November,
Count Schulenberg, commander of a
guards regiment, maintains IN an
article on the abdication of Emperor
William, published in the Freiheit,
that there were enough loyal troops
to have marched on AiX-la- -Chapelle
and Cologne and put down the revo-
luton.
The count says that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Groe-
ner, Prussian war minister, would
not assume the responsibility for
such a move, however, arguing that
things had gone too far and that only
the abdication of former Emperor
William could save the situation.

Finally the imperial chancellor

Hurried conferences were held by
the emperor, the crown prince, and

One of the commanders asserted
there was a feeling among the gen

Berlin Doubts Proclamation

Berlin. April Although reports
concerning the situation in Munich
are meager, such news as has reach
ed Berlin indicates that a Soviet
government has not yet been pro-
claimed in any way that can be re-
garded as official or binding.
The proponents OF the plan met
with strong opposition in two quar-
ters. The Bavarian Diet, it is true,
can scarcely meet on Tuesday, as had
been the program, because it is not
assured of the support of the troops
in Munich, (who were reported in
Munich dispatches Saturday to have
expressed sympathy with the Soviet
cause but to have declared their in
tention TO maintain neutrality, al
though they would not protect the
xAet building, which is armed with
N}chine guns)..
The proponents of the Soviet idea
however, have met with great oppo-
sition from the Bourgeoisie on the
one hand and the peasants on the
other. The peasants hold the trump
card in their control of the supply
of foodstuffs, which they have de-
clared they would refuse to deliver
If Il Soviet government were pro-
claimed.
Opposition Has Its Effect
The unexpected opposition to the
establishment at present of the So
Wet form of government manifested
by Bavara's most radical indepen-
dent DIR. Levin, has had it's effect. as
he wields great influence in certain
radical circles. The peasants league
likewise is opposing the plan with
increasing Vigor. and it is both
politically and economically n strong
factor in Bavarian life.
The rumor that the Eovernmetz
and the Diet might move to Bam-
berg. in Northern Bavaria, has been
officially denied.

The emperor, he says, was emphatic
in declaring he did not desire a civil
war and that he would not call upon
the army TO engage in such a con-
fict. Internal conditions becoming
worse, William at length agreed to
Count Schulenberg's advice to abdi-
cate as emperor, but not as king of
Prussia. Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg endorsed this course but, in the
opinion of General Groener, it was
too late, although it might have
saved the situation two weeks earli-
