In loving remembrance of our dear
sister Margarite, who fell asleep in
Jesus two months ago today. Sept. 13,
1920.
Today our troubled hearts are sore,
Our eyes are filled with tears;
For God has taken Margarite-
We thought was ours for years.
Two sad long months. o, how we miss
her
Friends may think the wound is
healed;
But there's none who know the sorrow
Deep within our hearts concealed.
Mute is the voice and stilled the heart
Which we loved so well and true.
Oh bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
But one thought comes in our sadness:
She is free from all sickness and
pain;
And we trust when our journey is
ended
We will meet our dear sister again.
Lovingly,

BEATS TAX MAN
Jovial Life Being Led By
Former Bulgarian
Monarch

BERLIN, Oct. 23.-Former King
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, fearing the
inroads of the tax-gatherer. is en-
joying his wealth by spending it.
At Mergentheim, which he is Wis
iting for the sake of the magnesia
springs, he leads a jovial and urcon-
cerned existence in striking contrast
to the clustered seclusion of the for
mer German emperor at Amerongen.
Under the name of Count Won
Murrany, says a writer in the Zwoelf-
Uhrblatt, Ferdinand is residing at the
Kurhaus together with his suite
composed of chaplain, chambermaid.
chauffeur, fOotman, valet and pri.
vate secretary. His lavish expendi-
ture has made him unpopular in the
town and surrounding country, where
the villagers see in him an emblem
of the "good old times" and greet
him with cheers as he drives past in
an automobile.
The fact that the British govern
ment has released the former Kings
sequestrated property is known to
all and has earned for him the repu-
tation, frequently embarrassing. of
being fabulously rich. His chief pur-
chases are books, bronzes. pictures
and jewels. His secretary has diff
ficult task in keeping off the host
of people who want private audiences
on business. A chimneysweep, for
instance, has discovered the secret of
turning the chimney smoke into
high class boot polish and wants King
Ferdinand to advance him 5000
marks for the exploitation of the in
ivertion.
Someone also has invented an ever
burning match and he wants money
from the King to convert this theory
into practice. The secretary has
much trouble to make il clear that
his master has finally retired from
business. Other aspirants to munific-
ence avoid the economically-min
secretary and waylay Ferdinand on
his way on motor excursions.
A man whose ambition in life was
to shake hands with royalty receiv-
ed one day card ostensibly from
Count Veon Muranny inviting him
to an audience. Overjoyed, he hur-
ried to the Kurhaius IN 1rockcoat and
tall hat. The victim of an hoax did
not obtain the longcd for audience,
but instead four new 50-mark noUes
which Ferdinand sent out to him as
consolation money.
