BULCARS' THIRD
POWER AMONG
Thrice Risen From the
Oppressed and the
Lowry Masses.
W%HE quick ascendancy Of Bulga.

T<HE quick ascendancy of Bulga'
ria into the society Of powerful
nations Is the third evolution
which has elevated the Bulgars
fron among the oppressed and the low
" masses, Twice before Bulgaria has
existed as free and independent ma
ton, and each time she has known
the glories Of worldwide influence. In
the past her territory was far greater
than the present Bulgaria and perhaps
greater than will be the new Bulgaria
recreated from the tumbling ruins OF
the Ottoman empire.
Bulgarian traditions extend TO A. d.
go, when tribe called Bulgarians ap
peared from the direction of the Dan
ube, under the leadership of Asparuch
They were not Slavs, and history has
not determined IL they were Uralhans
Finnish. Tartars or Turks.
But these Bulgarians who settled
south of the Danube were powerful
tribe, and their desire to conquer was
backed by strong system of state or
ganization. Asparuch knew how to or.
ganize his forces into u government,
and it was under him that the first
semblance of government appeared
among the Bulgarians. His people be
came military and accustomed to dis.
cipllne and to leadership. Those fac
tors were absent from the Balkan Sla'
vonic tribes and were necessary for the
single tribal, territorial aud political
whole found in the Bulgarians under
Asparuch
This state organization was effected
on the ruins of numerous tribes which
had lived in the Balkan peninsula for
generations. History says the Slavs
reached and settled that country first
in the third century and that even
then they found the ruins of towns and
roads left by the Romans. But those
early occupants Of the territory left no
descendants, and the first traditions OF
the land really sprang from the Bulga-
rians under Asparuch,

Engaged In Many Wars.

The unstable internal condition Of
the country was aggravated by the
many wars and expeditions which We're
carried on without definite purpose
These weakened it and prepared it for
catastrophe These facts led to the
establishment of strong Servian
kingdom, which made its capital at
Uskub, under the Servian Car Dou-
shan, in the first half of the fourteenth
century. This division Of power made
1t easy for the Turks to conquer Bul-
garia and later the whole Balkan pen
insula.
Bulgaria then disappeared as an in
dependent nation for five centuries I'M
til the domination Of the Turkish en-
pire was broken down by the efforts
of the Russians and the Roumanians.
Then the Berlin treaty gave Bulgaria
practical liberty. ana in 1908 Ferdi-
nand declared the absolute independ-
enee of the Bulgarians and proclaimed
himself car, Until then he had been
a prince. The title ear is clearly
traced through 1880 years from Gaze
sur. One form of it is kaiser
For nearly 400 years the BulgariaBs
have been preparing for the war with
Turkey. The result of this training is
seen in the third appearance of the
great Bulgarian empire under Car
Ferdinand.

crowned with a soft black hat, ana
his spare frame was swathed IN

His soft gray eyes seemed to search
tin,idly the smoke.clouded atmos'

Mallory translated as one Of diftidence
in a place where liquors and cigass
were dispensed.
With equal diffidence Mallory ad'
vanced and in low tone accosted the
newcomer cautiously:
Excuse me-you look like clergy
man.

The Minute Men were enrolled in

November %. 1774. Many names that
were destined to become famous in

of patriots. In the beginning they

this. The Massachusetts, Historical,

CHAPTER xvI-(continued).

Eventually, the car quieted, and
hothing wat heard but the rumble and
click Of the wheels on the rails, the
creak of timbers, and the frog-like
chorus Of few well-trained snorers
AS the porter was turning down the
last Of the lights, a rumpled pate was
thrust from the stateroom, and the
lusciouseyed man wh1spered:
Porter, what time did you say we
crossed the Iowa state line?"
Two fifty-tive a. M
From within the stateroom came q
deep sigh. then with a dismal groan:
Call me at two fifty-fve a. m.," the
door was closed.
Poor Mallory. pyjamaless and night
shirtless, lay oropped up on his pill
lows. staring out Of the window at the
swiftly shifting night scene The state
Of Illino1s was being pulled out from
under the train like dark rug.
Farmhouses cleaned or dreamed
tampless. The moonlight rippled on
endless seas of wheat and Indian
corn. Little towns slid up and away.
Large towns rolled forward, and were
left behind. Ponds, marshes brooks,
PASTURES, thickets and great gloomy
groves flowed past as on river. But
the same stars and the moon seemed
to accompany the train. If the flying
witness had been less heavy OF heart,
be would have found the Keeling scene
full Of grace and night beauty. But
he could not see any charm in all the
world. except his tantalizing other
self, from whom great chasm'
seemed to divide him, though she was
only two windows away.
He had not yet fallen asleep, and
he was still bordering how to attain
his unmarried, unmarriable bride,
when the train rolled out In air above
q great wide river, very noble under
the stars. He knew it for the Mis-.
sissipp1. He heard faint knocking
On door at the other end OF the car.
He heard sounds as of kisses, ana
then somebody tiptoed along the aisle
Btealthily. He did not know that an
other bridegroom was being separated
from his bride because they were too
much married.
Somewhere in Iowa he fell asleep.

FINAL RESULT Of

Down and Helpless Against
the Attacks of Disease.

Ii you need strength, if your blood is
thin, your digestion disordered, it will
pay you to investigate the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed so many weak, anmmic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
women.
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose adj
dress is r. L. D. No. 3, Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
"For months after the Birth of nv
baby, suffered terribly from general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
chin: My appetite was gone and my
head ached mcst of the time. Often
times there seemed to be a rush of blood
to my head and would faint away. /

enough to do any work.
GAS the treatment I was taking did
not help me, I began to take DR.. Will
lams' Pink Pills, which friend said
had helped her. After taking a few
boxes, began to get we'll rapidly.
continued using them for time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life"
The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
Spouse to the needs OF the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this we'll is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return OF color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anemia, after-efects of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and st. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, 'tDiseases Of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases of
the blood will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt Of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

The gambler was growing suspicious
