CELEBRATE IN BULGARIA

Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. 14.-Cele-
brations are being held today
throughout Bulgaria TO comment
crate the twenty-first anniversary of
the accession OF Ferdinand as prince
OF Bulgaria and the CONSEQUENT
freedom OF the country from Turk
ish thraldom.
During Ferdinand's reign Bulga-
ria has made many advances toward
a wider and freer liberty. Moslems.
Jews, Roman Catholics and the vari-
GUS sects OF the eastern Christian
churches now live in amity. The
credit of tho nation has become bet
ter than ever before.
The only blot on Ferdinand's reign
was the assassination OF the prime
minister, Stamboulom TO whom Fer
dinand owed his throne. Stambou-
Ion was called the Bulgarian Bis
marck" and was a stateman OF great
ability. His cold blooded murder
on the streets of Sofa is as yet un-
punished. and there is still sus
picion In many quarters that FerdI-
nand shared in the responsibility for
the crime.

A GIFT Of LADIES
AID OF MAN|T OWOC
Reference Room of n. W. u,
Equipped with New
Shelves.

The reference roOm 10 the new
dormitory of Northwestern University
has recently been equipped with a
fine oak bookshelf. During a recent
visit to the Varsity, Rev. Mach
mueller noticed the dilapldated con-
dition of the shelves and Immediately
acquainted the Ladies' AID society
OF his congregation with the facts on
returning home. In comparatively
short time Alexander Sitz, president
of the Junior class, received check
for thirty-five dollars from the
treasurer of the society with the aid
of which the improvement was made
possible. The reference room now
presents neat and inviting appear
ance. However, there is still room
for other Societies to give proof of
their interest in Northwestern as the
many rows of empty shelves will
testify. DR.. Oft for his part, has
contributed his share in placing all
works of reference that could be
spared in the library at the disposal
of the boys.

How Few They Are.

A well-known trade paper publishes
the following paragraph from an ad-
dress made by Abraham Lincoln, while
he was yet an obscure lawyer, to a
class of young students of law. 1t IS

years ago:

ever you can. Point out to them how

loser-in fees, expenses and waste Of

has superior opportunity of being

A worse man can scarcely be found
than one who does this. Who can be

M. W. A. is Solid.

A certain article has been gong
the rounds Uf the press recently pro-
laiming that the Nj odern Woodmen of
America were on the verge of being
thrown into grave financial difficulties
and would have to raise their assess
ment rates to meet their obligations.
However, such statement has
been branded false by the head clerk.
The state insurance department has
not called the attention of the head
officers to any such deficiency neither
will the question of establishing new
rates be brought up at the meeting of
the head Executive Council. The
Woodmen are floating along on a
smooth financial sea and when the
time comes to re-adjust the rates they
possess the moral courage to attend
to the matter themselves. Every
Woodman will be appraised of the
approaching step before it appears in
the sensational newspapers. In these
days of strife between various frater-
nal insurance societies almost anything
detrime entail is liable to get into cir
culation. The membership of the
Modern Woodmen is $50, 900 and there
is a surplus in its treasury of $4,000. :
O00 1t is the strongest fraternal or
ganization in the world and more than
safe.
