King Charles OF Roumania.

him on the Austrian and Hungarian
frontiers, and 1t was only by means
OF succession of DISCUSSES that
Charles was able to traverse the do
minions of Francis Joseph, and to
succeed In reaching the Roumanian
riverside town, where he landed,
CARRIED In the livery of footman,
after having entered Austrian terri
tory at Salzburg as a blue-specta-
cled merchant of the name of Karl
Hottengen."
A marked contrast always existed
between King Charles and his sub
jects. The latter, who are proud of
the descent from those offenders
against the laws of the old Roman
Empire, which established one of Its
principal penal colonies upon the
borders of the Danube, have re-
tanned many OF their Latin charac-
teristics. and are possessed of all the
exuberance, the excitability and the
demonstrativenes which we are ac-
customed to find In middle and
Southern Italy. They lack, however,
Italian thrift, and are distinguished
by all that improvidence ard extrav-
agance that mark the Slav. and
thanks to this the national affairs OF
Roumania were In 1865 In the most
chaotic condition that 1t is possible
to conceive. There was neither law
nor order, the army was non-exist-
ent and revolutions and coup
etats' succeeded one another.
Charles succeeded In inspiring his
subjects with respect and in main
tanning his authority over them.
Slight and spare in build. under
sized rather than tall, with clean
cut features and clear blue eyes,
which impart look of honesty to
his face, he is as quiet. az reticent
and as undemonstrative In manner
as the Roumanians are the reverse.
Moreover his ideas on the subject Of
morality, unlike theirs, are exceed
ingly strict, his sense of honor is
most scrupulous.
1t would take too long to describe
here the gradual process by means
of which Charles OF Hohenzollern
has transformed Roumania into the
most important and respected of the
second class Powers of Europe. Her
credit Is excellent, her export and
her import trade are advancing by
leaps and bounds, the average an
nual exports exceeding 100000
900 and the imports 100000.
The kingdom is traversed In every
direction by railroads and telegraph
lines, the industries are flourishing,
the people prosperous. while 1t was
the Roumanian army, splendidly
trained according to Prussian meth
DDS by King Charles. which saved
the day for Russia in her war with
Turkey in 1877. Indeed Roumania
is justly known to-day as the Hap
by land OF the Balkans"
1t was In difference to the de-
mands of his subjects who desired
to emphasize their emancipation
from every suspicion OF their former
vassalage to Turkey, that Charles,
Just 25 years ago, assumed the title
of King in lieu OF Prince, with which
| he had been content until then. But
he declined to waste any money upon
| the acquisition of gold and jeweled
insignia Of his altered rank, and in
sisted that the crown placed upon
| his head on the day of his coronation
on May 10, 1881, should be made of
steel from a Turkish gun, captured
by his troops at the battle of Plevna.

FEE WORTH WAITING FOR.
Thousands Instead Of Hundreds Paid
David B. Henderson by His
Grateful Clients.

David B. Henderson's early profess
sional experiences were not material
ly different from those of most young
lawyers. Finally he was retained in
an estate case which involved large
interests. The future speaker was
mighty hard up and he was seriously
thinking of asking the heirs to pay
his bill, which he had never rendered.
He was meditating whether to charge
them 5000 or $780, when one of the
heirs, representing them ALL stepped
briskly into his office and, taking out
a roll of $500 bills, said; "Mr. Hen
derson, | want to pay your BILL" and
commenced laying down these $500
bills until he had $500 before the
astonished young lawyer. Looking up
at Mr.. Henderson, the heir said: as
that enough?" And the lawyer, with
that selfpossession which subsequent
ly made him famous, calmly said:
Peel off another one and we will call
it square. "-Harper's Weekly.
