MACED0NIANS MAY
 FORM A REPUBLIC

SOFIA, March 19.-A Macedonian republic looms as a possibility as buffer against further Balkan wars.
 The General Macedonian Congress, which has recently been in session here, has achieved a notable work by launching a movement, endorsed by all Macedonians of Serbia, Bull garia and Greek Macedonia, for an autonomous Macedonian fatherland. Religious differences have been cast aside, and Macedonians have joined together in this movement, which, it is hoped, will eventually accom- plish a buffer state, with Salonika as it's capital-a state which will act as a link between warning neighbor nations which have been dismem- bered and ruined by continuous Balk- an conflicts.
 This movement may be likened 1 to the Irish movement, for it means that two million Macedonians, whose schools and churches have suffered from suppression, are now determ- ined no longer to remain passive, but are resolved to work for the right of self-determination and the privilege of establishing their own government.
 ! The movement cannot achieve it's purpose quickly and there will be many difficulties to overcome, but in view of the fact that the Mace donians themselves have cast aside their religious differences there seems to be substantial hope. The movement is under the direc- tion of the Macedonian Union, which comprises all racial clements, in cluding Turks, Albanians and Vel lachians.
 Even some of the older Macedonian revolution!sts who have been mili- tary fighting men all their lives have come to the support of the non-mili- taristic movement.

Gaily dressed women and society-bred
wonder house with it's warm hospitality,
wines and art treasures; and riders paced
blooded horses through the beautiful park
On one occasion, it is told that Mrs.
Knox did not have enough guests for a
party she was giving and she selected
thirty-six men and thirty-six women from
the village and then purchased evening
attire for all of them that they might be
properly dressed for the occasion. These
humble folks had never seen the like be-
fore, and for once in their lives they
lived for an evening like millionaires, TAX
ing along home with them their evening
clothes, which they exhibit to this day as
souvenirs of the memorable occasion.
But there were other forms of diver
sion and amusement that it was not con-
venient to bring under the roof of the
mansion, so Mrs. Knox built, in the centre
of her recreation park, an auditorium as
luxurious, comfortable and attractive as
Broadway show shop. Every week or
so an elaborate performance was given
here, to which the residents of East May
field were hidden to attend. free of
charge. First class theatrical troupes
were brought, at Mrs. Knox's expense, as
lar as Bronson and then over her own
little railroad to East Mayfield, to enter
tain the guests.
One week It would be a vaudeville
show, and the following week one of the
best photo-plays would be shown. This
would be followed by some play or must
cal comedy, and on several occasions the
strains of grand opera or high-priced
bands were heard in this little woman
created Paradise hidden away in the heart
of the forest.
All this was a treat from the hand of
"Lady Bountiful' She was generous
with everybody in the town to the point
of eccentricity. Christmas was her par
ticular delight. AT that season of the
year she did not merely loosen the purse
strings. She ripped the purse wide open
and food of yellow gold poured out in
which everybody in town bathed.
One Christmas she procured the name

One side of the big mansion was devoted
to an art gallery, which was hung with
valuable paintings. Several canvases,
reported to be those of old masters, were
among the collection. And in an adjoin-
ing room, called by it's owner "the art
room," were curios, trinkets and objects
of art picked up at random on their
bridal tour through Europe. This entire
art collection was, according to connois-
seurs, worth fortune in itself.
Commodious as was the mansion built
under the direction of the millionaire's
wife, it was none too large for the uses
to which it was put. Mrs. Knox enter
tanned on lavish scale. The Knox home
was noted for the princely open-handed-
ness of it's hostess.
To properly supervise their lumber
business, it was necessary for them to live
in the forest far away from the large
centres where diversions were easily avail
able But the energetic, pleasure-loving
wife did not propose to bury herself in
lot of woods and grow into a mossback.
She had to be ON the ground to keep con-
tinual watch on things, so she brought the
mountain to Mahomet. The home became
a rendezvous for well-known people from
all parts of Texas. Elaborate parties,
lasting several days, were held, and on
slaughts were made upon what: was de-
clared to be the finest cellar in the State.

little palace in itself, with conveniences
never before dreamed in that isolated
section. The town had a sewerage system,
was brilliantly lighted with electricity and
in every way equalled the finest COM
munltles in the country.
In time the establishment was employ
ing half thousand men who, with their
families, lived happily in the pretty
houses, on wages far above the union
scale. 1t was a little fairyland hidden
away in the wooded stretches of country
where once uncut stumps and deep roots
had marred the landscape.
In order to keep more easily in touch
with the outside world, Mrs. Knox built
railroad TO Bronson, the nearest town of
any size, twelve miles away.
Having thus gotten the town and bust
ness into fourishing shape, Mrs. Knox
then turned her attention to building
home of her own. Skilled designers and
artisans were summoned from all over the
country, and under their direction was
built one of the most magnificent resi-
dences in the South. 1t was of timber,
to be sure-but it was only fitting that the
mansion of a lumber king should be erect
ed from his own product.
There were forty rooms in this won
derful house, and each room had bath

and address of every boy and girl in the
whole county and when Santa Claus
made his rounds, every boy received an
expensive toy and every girl q beautiful
talking doll. 1t was reported that this
burst of generosity cost Mrs. Knox more
than $4,000. Expensive gifts went into
every home in East Mayield. Every en-
ployee at the Knox mansion was given an
automobile.
But it was not alone at the Christmas
season that LADY BountifuP' gave Of her
time and money to relieve distress and
lend helping hand. Between times the
poor of the section knew her as an angel
of mercy. The night was never too dark
or stormy for this remarkable woman to
answer calf from a sick employee At
the height of one of her hilarious parties,
if word came that she was needed, she
would quickly don her wrap, leave her
guests to their own devices and go on her
errand of ministration.
At her own expense she would bring
in the most expensive medical and surgical
experts and, notwithstanding that all her
employees were highly paid, she had all the
big doctors bills sent to her and they were
promptly paid.
A pretty girl, daughter of one of the
mill men, stepped, to her sorrow, little
way along the primrose path. Lady
BountifuP' heard of it. She sent the girl
to home in Chicago, made provisions for
the baby as soon as it was born, and gave
the girl employment upon her return to
East Mayfield.
One day a piano salesman managed to
penetrate the forest and make his way
into the little town. He had heard of its
prosperity and figured that he could do
good business there. But to his dismay
he found that nearly everybody had
piano. He poured out his hard luck story
to "Lady Bountiful."
Glow many pianos did you expect to
sell here" she asked him.
'Well, / had hopes of selling a half
dozen," replied the disappointed salesman
"That would have paid me we'll for COM
ing all this distance"
"All right" smiled "Lady Bountiful,"

And to the amazement and JOY of the
salesman, she signed the orders for six
expensive pianos and promptly sent her
check for them as they arrived. Two of
them were placed in the elaborate music
rooms of the mansion, and the others were
stored away to be given to friends the
following Christmas.
