II is likely enough that Russia is trying now
tc make friends with Prince Alexander, OF Bull
garia, although the Car tried hard to Glshonor
him few weeks ago. The situation has
changed. To-day Prince Alexander Is awe
torious general, popular at home and grateful

customers and buy great lots of Olcomargaune
to mix with good butter for the market. The
men who purpose to lead this fight were re-
elected in a measure on an anu-bOgus butter
platform.

than those which have been reached this
season may be expected IN the future when the
class of "missiOncrs" has been increased.
Revival work of this kind needs special abilities
and training, and an increased demand for
such preachers will presently be followed with
