served and propagated.
The Whitney family has sold its
holdings for 100000, of which the
State Legislature has appropriated
$4,000, and $4,000 is to be raised
by subscription. This price is S17.-
900 under that which Mr.. WHITNEY
paid for the land about 1894. Not
only does the State get bargain in
real estate but it receives the benefit
of the large sums spent in stocking
the woods, streams and ponds. Mr..
WHITNEY brought elk, moose, deer
Of several varieties, pheasants and
other game to the preserve.
The Whitney preserve has for
years been a game sanctuary, in
which deer were safe from hunters
even in the autumn open season. AS
State park 1t will continue to serve
as shelter. From the game bred
in its safety the surrounding coun-
try has been naturally stocked. Mas.

Mr.. WHITNEY began, and the fine
park his discriminating taste Gre
ated will be maintained for public

The Five Day Week.

The announcement that HENRY
FORD is to establish five day work
ing week in his factory is, when
read alone, joyous news to all who
like to think of bringing work down
to the irreducible minimum. Forty
hours week, they will say sounds
good; later we shall have a thirty
hour week, then twenty hour week
and, eventually, ten hour week.
Perfectly fascinating, At the finish
there would be the grave question
whether the ten hours should be
worked all in one day or spread over
two or three days.
But the news of the five day, forty
hour week must no. hs read alone.
interviewer with it is the announce
ment that the pay will be reformed
too. That is, there will be five days
pay, and no more, for five days
work. Instead Of working five and
one-half days for $33, the Sc day
men will work five days for $50.
The Ford idea is to make room for
more workers and to let all the en-
ployees have more time "for self-de-
velopment." A self-developer can
spend the new freedom of Saturday
morning in hundred different ways.
Gardening, motoring, baseball, cellar
chemistry, the reading Of BERGsoN
or WELLS, courting, fishing, or plain
loafing-all these come under the
head of self-development.
Suppose an earnest young Ford
employee should go to HENRY FORD
and say to him. when you were a
young man, Mr.. FORD, what did you
do with your time outside of eight
hours five days week?" HENRY, we
fancy. would reply that. after work
ing ten or twelve hours or fourteen
day for six days week he man
aged to get in all of his self-develop-
ment on Sunday.

churches, brought him in $4,000. In
one short tour the two brothers
together earned $4,000; in all they
made several hundred thousand
dollars. ALF A. TAYLOR at 70 has his
old tiddling spirit and his love for the
old tunes.
Ten years ago DEXTER ALLISON,
who was then past so, offered to con-
test for State honors with any other
old time fiddler in Georgia. BILL
MONTGOMERY and ZEB BRIGGS, two
Alabama champions, passed on years
ago. WISE DEACON of the Arkansas
Ozark region, when more than 90
was still able to WELD a bow, one of
his neighbors said few years ago
But, said the old fiddler, "the dram
of white stuff you get at the dances
amt got the joy it once had"
DEACON and his old competitors and
friends, YELL and GIP JOHNSON, BILL
HANKS and Bob BULLOCK, have per-
haps stopped fiddling or, what means
the same thing, have passed on.
The little boxes with their canned
music and the latest dances of Broad
way have reached the most remote
hills and valleys, and the old fiddler's
occupation is gone and with him his
old tunes. Now comes the radio to
cast them still further into memorys
shadows. Old STUBBINs said. that he.
guessed one of these foreign fellers
he heard in concert was good
musician, "but it didn't sound like
fiddlin' to me-" Perhaps the foreign
feller could not pat his foot as all
good fiddlers should. STuBBINs's son
will run the old mill; but the old
fiddle was reverently packed away
in it's case. There is no one left to
play it.

propaganda not only in Bulgaria but

propaganda not only in Bulgaria but
in the entire Balkan region.
He believed that the greatest bless
ing Bulgaria could have was years
of peace. He was an enemy Of politi-
cal adventurers; he sought to resus-
citate his country by promoting its
economic prosperity. He was op-
posed to war with neighboring coun-
tries. This was the reason of the
militarists' antagonism to him. They
wished to recover the territory lost
to Serbia and Greece; they sought
to revive the army to assert by
force of arms Bulgaria's claims In
Macedonia. Western Europe saw in
this revival of Bulgarian militarism
a menace to the peace of southeast
ern Europe. 1t knew STAMBULrsKI
he had recently visited London and

and it trusted him as pacifier Of

Blackface Comedy.
Bert williams Displayed the Naive
Philosophy OF His Race.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your
correspondent Herbert S. Renton in as
serting generally the superiority Of white
comedians over colored In blackface
comedy certainly fails to understand
what constitutes genuine negro humor.
Rarely does a white performer meet
the requirements. AS regards Mcintyre
and Heath there can be no question that
they are among the very best. and there
is another. Mr. Kelly, the Virginia Judge.
Now when 1t comes TO art there are
very few negroes who meet the demand.
The late Bert Williams seems to me to
have met every requirement OF a great
comedian. Ic knew s.ow to get his stuff
over And his atsAck was always aimed
at that naive philosophy characteristic
Of the negro and not that coarse bur-
Iesque ~iement which is rarely absent in
thu white performer. NrcRo.

sky:
Could any be at loss who had a star
To orient rowing spirit by?
I loved the star--I dreamed the star
loved me.
Though came no sign. Such faith
had until
A Grief forbade that ! should comfort
see,
Hence. down I kept mine eyes, as
mourners will.
or n I ever chanced my sight to raise.
I saw but silver dim ininitude,
Nor singled any from the glittering
maze
Until. tonight, / at my easement
stood
when. lol A Word in Light flashed
down the sphere,
For me. monition from one argent flre,
A ray that had been journeyine year. on
year,
The ray that answered to my young
desire
The young desire that made a star iis
mark
Nor failed: for now II seemed the
star loved me
or all was remains one little spark
star. / am old that spark soon fleets
