4 found it when he arrived IN Sofia in
1897 TO take up the reins of gov
eminent, was composed OF two bic
districts slenderly Joined together.
Ii was nominaily a yassal OF Turkey.
Actually. it had till then been vas
sal OF Russia. Russia refused 10
recognize the election OF Prince Fer
dlnand and the other powers took
The same stand. The country was
poverty stricken, rival factions dis
puted the government, the army was
torn with discussions and every
thing, in fact, was in about as bad a
state as could be imagined.
Today Ferdinand is recognized
everywhere as the Gar of Bulgaria
He is received with royal honors in
all the capitals of Europe. His
realm has become one of the most
prosperous and most powerful of the
balkan States. 1t has produly
broken the last ties that bound ii
To Turkey and at the same time
has effected a complete reconcila-
tlon with Russia. lhe country is
intersected with improved roads aud
railways. The capital has become
one of the most attractive Of all
Europe and few cities can boast OF
more magnificent public buildings.
And above all the population OF the
country is thrifty, industrious and
contented
To accomplish this truly wonder
tul change in the condition of Bull
garia and her people Ferdinand re-
CURED prodigies of energy and skill
and perseverance. 1t was an up
hill fight but in the end it was
crowned with victory. 1t was not
until he took the reins from SIAM
buloff, who was destined to become
the victim of an assassin a little lat
er, that Ferdinand's strength OF
character and his fearlessness were
fully recognized. Before that time
1t was a common saying that STAN
buloff was the real ruler and Ferdi-
nand mere figurehead. But with
the removal of the prime minister
Ferdinand went about quietly but
none the less theoretically to ac-
complish the prodigious work that
hoe IL
made king.
He Is not onl. an earnest student,
with a special leaning toward bo-
tany and ornithology, but also a
man of highly cultivated taste. He
Is credited with much greater
preference for the identification OF
rare plants than for the study OF an
enemy's line of battle. At the same
time he has not failed to recognize
the fact that the army is necessary
and that it is the backbone of his
country. His active interest In this
direction is evidenced by the many
magnificent military buildings that
have been erected in the capital
within the past few years.
Ferdinand has made complete
study of the difficult language and
the history of his people and is a
great stickler for the ceremonies of
his little court. In fact the osten-
tation Of the Bulgarian court, where
mere formalities exist than even in
st. Petersburg or Vienna, caused
much annoyance among all classes
in the early years of his reign, but
il had in the end the effect that
doubtless was intended, for 1t I'm
pressed the Bulgarians with a sense
OF their own national importanc.
and did much to strengthen the
movement in favor of complete In
dependence.

Corporations as inevitable and as
national factor much to be desired
was the novel aspect in which Mar
tin w. Littleton presented in a Chi
cago speech to bankers the problem
which corporations have created. He
commented on the growth of corpor-
ate enterprises until now their an
nual net income in the United States
is three billion dollars, equaling, he
said, the farmers net return on the
eight billion dollars of farm pro-
ducts. Back in 1882" he said, eve
wrote into the statutes a law which
was very short and which was called
the Sherman antitrust law. No one
noticed it at the time. A number of
attorneys generally pronounced ii
impossible of enforcement. The
commerce and business of the coun-
try grew up, and still no one paid
any attention to the little statute
But there came a time when their
power grew and gigantic concerns
developed which. aroused the atten-
ton of the whole world, and the
question confronted the nation
whether the government or these
great combinations OF capital should
dominate. 1t was then that the Law
was produced as the solution OF the
|country's problems. He praised the
corporation as the most effective in.
strument of modern business, the
ideal medium of securing diversified
ownership and for handling the
products of labor. How to contro
it was the problem.

HOW the South nominated Lincoln
and other incidents not before
chronicled of the memorable con-
yention of 1850 at Chicago We're told
before the Hamilton club IN Chicago
by Addison G, Proctor. of ST. JOS
eph, Michigan, who is perhaps the
only Surviving member of that his
torical session. Mr. Proctor, who at
the age of 2 years was member of
the Kansas delegation to the con-
Vention depicted stormy scenes
which took place in the old Briggs
house, headquarters for many Of the
delegations. His relation of inside
details which preceded the balloting
surprised his hearers when he de-
clared that organization among the
scattered opposition to the nomina-
ton of William H. Seward of New
York and the ultimate selection OF
Lincoln was brought about by
stormy address made by delegate
from the South, Cassius M. Clay. of
Kentucky, when we asked Gree
ley how about Mr.. Lincoln" said
Proctor, he replied that while MIR.
Lincoln was an adroit politician and
a strong man in his own state, he
lacked experience in public affairs
and in the present condition of the
country, while we were drifting to-
ward crisis, he did not believe the
country would trust a man so lack
ing in experience in national affairs"
The Seward factions strength was
weak, and at the critical moment
there came Cassius M. Clay and a
party of 80 men of the fighting kind
from border states They impressed
me as men moved by feeling of in
tense purpose. we are on the eve
Of a great civil war was about Mr..
Clay's first sentence. we are from

to contain the articles recovered. The
driver grasps his four-tined fork and
commences his work Of unloading
cautiously he sinks the fork in the
mass and pushes a. forkfuI toward. As
1t falls the mass divides and the hooks
or 1t may be only one-reach toward
to grasp some article. But there are
rules TO this game. The first fork gets
the prize, and once inside the bucket
or box there is no complaint. But the
hunt does not end for the pile is raked
and reraked until the next forkfuI falls.
Driver Has First Chance.
But the driver is leisureIy and takes
his time And it is not because he is
indolent, not at all The rules of the
game allow the driver first pick; so
he takes his time as he carefully turns
over each forkfuL When he sees
something he fancies he carefully
reaches down and picks it UP; after
examining it with tantalizing scrutiny
before the hungry eyes of the semi
circle before him, he throws it in
separate heap at the side of the wagon.
And what do they find? The staples
are, of course, rags, copper, and iron:
yet complete list of the articles
rescued would reach from A to T. Here
is miscellaneous load. Amid the
mass of decayed vegeta bles, orange
skins, egg shells, waste paper, and
dirt are innumerable odds and ends
One woman has secured a granite
ware cooking kettle a china saucer
and a glass tumbler; another is exam

read, she throws it down and picks up
a magazine for the pictures; a man
likewise rejects a number OF World
Almanacs of the vintage of 1909. but

bills Of lading; a lad throws away
some unused blank books and gives a
cry Of triumph when he hauls forth
an empty wine bottle. Meanwhile the
driver is throwing over the side all of
the cigar boxes, small packing cases,
and pieces of wood and iron that he
can find. Amid the confusion of trash
are envelopes, postcards, street car
transfers, tobacco boxes. newspapers,
letter boxes, and glass.
Another wagon has evidently passed
photographers. Here are a large
quantity of red film covers of paper,
which a boy is eagerly hooking out
in order to save the spools. Another
muchacho has come in possession of
a quantity Of rope. A man has found
some blank mounting cards for photos
There is a quantity of packing hay.
But the load does not amount to much
and the band turns to another wagon
just entering
Some of the Treasures.
AT the outset there are several old
brooms and as many new barrels as
rewards; then the unloading COM
mences in earnest. Packed among the
garbage are numerous articles; the

the men who thinks himself sharper
than the driver breaks it open. He
throws it down with disgust; the
driver is a good guesser after all. An
Another watcher secures a neatly tied
package. 1t contained a dressed
rabbit
When all is unloaded the driver
comes down, sorts over his pile, and
throws the articles back in the wagon;
while the searchers pass to other wag-
ons. But the pile will be raked over
many times again, for there are some
who do not follow the wagons but
spend their time raking over heaps
already dumped. Strange to say they
find many things overlooked in the
unloading.
Glass bottles find a market on the
spot Every day a trader with a
double decked push cart visits the
place, exchanging cakes and candies
from the upper compartment for empty
bottles to fill the lower, at the rate
of one piece for one bottle The bot
ties are sold down town at a good
profit.
FOur-fOOted Searchers, Too.
There are four-footed scavengers that
frequent the place, sleek hogs, hurros
and numerous dogs They get to be as
expert in nosing out the dainty NOR
sells from the garbage as their mas
tiers are in finding useful articles.
The architecture Of the surrounding
houses reflects the nearness of the
dumping ground. One house is con-
structed of sections of sheet iron; an
other adobe has unique additions, the
room on one end being built of empty
lard cans withsa sheet iron roof, and
the room on the other end being en-
tirely constructed Of the latter ma
teria1.
And money and valuabIes? Well, the
sober truth must be told. just as one
seasoned habitue of the place told it
as he sat comfortably on a pile of
rubbish and watched the others dig
ging in the trash.
I've been here a long time" he de-
clared. and the only money 1 ever
found was nickel and never heard
Of anything bigger"
1t is an interesting and absorbing
game this unceasing search amid the
dregs and lees Of the city's wreckage
for the last precious scraps hidden
therein. But for big finds, it is the
same old story; we will still have to
go to Paris.
