Commercially, American interest in
the Balkan states affected by recent
developments in that section of the
world are not very important, and it
matters little what their political af-
hl1at1ons or conditions may be, so long
as American interests are on equality
as affecting trade and the rights of
its citizens with those of European
countries. Imports from and exports
to Bulgaria for the last year for which
statistics are available practically bal
anced, amounting in each case to
about s2S0,O00.
In diplomatic matters it probably
would be more satisfactory to the Uni
ted States to deal directly with Bull
garia as an independent sovereignty,
instead of through the medium OF FUR
key. as now. The case of Miss Ellen
Stone, che American missionary, who
several years ago was captured by
Bulgarian brigands and held for ran
som, is an instance in point. There
were long and tedious delays in secur-
ing her rSease, which, it is believed,
could have been avoided had the Uni
ted States been able to deal with Bull
garia at first hand.

SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than Willing to Make Transfer
with Physician.

A Syracuse business man who, be-
sides being extremely active and am
bilious, has much sense of humor,
was taken sick with a slight attack of
pneumonia. His physician, aware that
1t would be q task to keep his high
strung patient in bed, sought to inn
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all of which the sick man lis
tened to in a bored manner. Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
In him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis
gusted, he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the memorable physi-
clan.
One morning the physician, after
having been up all night on an i'm
portant case, appeared at his patients
house at the usual hour. He had hard
ly stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him q quick glance and sat
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors satchel he added: DOC, 1 guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine
bag"
