II FERDINAND OF
KILL VISIT
One.of tho Leading Factors in th e Recent Balkan War Coming to
America With Queen Eleanor a, the Princess Eudoxia and
an Army of the Leaders of His Country, to Study Our
Methods and Absorb New Ideas.
Now York. Czar Ferdinand lfl com
ing to tho United States. Tho man
who would bo king, and who was and
1b king, and what Is moro, czar, Is
coming to America with Queen Elea
norn, the Princess Eudoxia, and many
of tho leaders of his country. Ho Is
looking for new Ideas, American Ideas,
for thlB ruler Is the apostle of modern
Ideas to his people and In full sym
pathy with them.
There was a tlmo when the world
thought Ferdinand would nover bo
anything moro than tho Man Who
Would Do King. When tho young
prlnco of Saxe-Coburg was considering
the offer of the Bulgarian leaders, DIb
marck succinctly remarked to him:
"Tako It, young man, It will always
be a pleasant reminiscence."
But It was 27 years ago when
Ferdinand first began to rulo tho Bul
garians and the experience Isn't a
reminiscence yet. Every year thero
aro rumors Ferdinand Is going to ab
dicate, Ferdinand Is going to bo as
sassinated, Ferdinand Is tired of his
Job, and some power or other is going
to give Ferdinand tho experience of
his predecessor, who was practically
kidnaped by the Russians.
But every January 1 Ferdinand Is
thero on hand as usual, working full
ofllco hours, drilling his troops,
scheming with his captains of Indus
try, planning new railroads and ports,
Intriguing in regal fashion, and alto
gether .doing bueinesB at tho old stand.
Ferdinand ought to prove intensely
Interesting to America for ono thing,
If for no other. Ho is tho world's
champion trust maker and magnate
creator. Ferdinand came In 1887 to
rulo over what was sometimes called
tho Peasant state. It was a country
of rough, capable, self-reliant farmers.
Thero was no middle class (mer
chants) and no upper class (aristoc
racy). Ferdinand has created these
two classes. He has caused Bulgarian
lifo to be largely patterned on tho
rest of Europe. But his methods aro

aro what make a country great. To
develop his crudo nation he deliber
ately sot out to favor certain indi

aged. And theso Industrial empires
ho mndo tho framework of his own
political empire.
What his success has been was seen
m the recent Balkan wars. In the
first war the Bulgarians swept al
most to tho gates of Constantinople,
carrying eerythltig before them. Of
course, Ferdinand, or somebody made
n grave mistake in starting the sec
ond war, where Bulgaria tackled Ser
via and Greece and lost almost all she
had gained in tho first conflict But
this setback in tho face of great odds
did not upset tho argument that Ferdi
nand had dono wonders In his quarter
of a century at the head of tho Bul
garian people.
In person Ferdinand Is largo, he has
a magnificent heavy beard and a pres
ence which commands respect among
ono of the roughest and moBt head
strong peoplo In tho world. Ho Is a
man of tho strangest contrasts. Sus
pected of having the man who put
him on tho throne, Stambouloff, the
great Bulgarian patriot, put to death
with hideous tortures, ho Is yot iu his
calmer moments devoted to tho sim
plest of hobbles, tho collection of but
terflies and wild flowers. It is said ho
pent the last moments before going
forth to war with tho Turks among his
beloved cabinets and albums.
Yet he Is a man of tho moBt redoubt
able courage, of tho utmost fierceness
on occasion, and if his enemies aro to
bo credited only a llttlo, of an un
scrupulousness seldom met In these
modern days. He was accused of be

aviator. Prlnco Boris, tho heir-apparent
to the throne, and Princess Cyrllle,
tho king's second son, also flow that
day.
Besides theso two sons, Ferdinand
has two daughters. All four aro chil

His second wife was before her mar
rlago Princess Eleanora of Reuss. 8ho
was forty-eight years old when ho mar
ried her and it is said he took this Btop
In order to protect his daughters from
court Intrigues.
This Is not the first tlmo that Ferdi
nand has seen America. In 1879 he
visited his brother, Prlnco Augustus of
Saxo-Coburg, who had married tho
younger of tho two daughters of tho
Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil. Tho
princess made a long botanical voy
age In tho Interior of South America
and when Feidlnand returned to
Europe he wrote it up in Latin that it
might be read by all scientists. Tho
visit of Ferdinand hero eight years
before ho ascended tho throno, did
not attract much attention, and llttlo
was written about It.
When Ferdinand decided ho would
tako the moro high souridlng title of
czar Instead of prlnco ho was not arro
gantly assuming something for which
there was no basis in history and
precedent. It was a reversion to what
Bulgaria had been in the tenth cen
tury. At that timo the Bulgarians,
revolting from tho Byzantine empire,
established a new realm, of which the
capital waB tho ancient city of Tir
nova. Bulgaria became a powerful
state, extending to tho Adriatic as
well as to tho Black sea, and its chief
ruler, Symen, was crowned as czar.
When tho commissioners of tho Panama-Pacific
exposition visited Ferdi

miration for things American, and set
boforo them an American dinner, In
which wild turkey, pork and beans fig

America Is a nation of homo build
ers. It has como to the point that a
man's standing in a community is
measured by his home. It Is distaste
ful to most peoplo to pay rent Tho
normal man desires to have a homo
of his own for his children; and these
children havo a right to a homo of
their own. It goes without question,
that a man's work Is mado lighter as
ho thinks during tho day that his wlfo
and his chlldron nro undor their own
roof. It Is true that not all men arc
ablo to havo a homo of tholr own.
They nro tied down by conditions that
prevent them entering upon so worthy

Just the same.
In nearly every town of any size,
tho real estate mon and property own
ers are anxious to offer inducements
to homo building, and In many In
stances It Is as easy to pay for a
homo as It is to pay rent Tho pay
ments are arranged so that they

they lncludo tho Interest each month,
there Is no difference really, except

that tho buyer must pay tho Insur

When you come to think of It, there
Is really no excueo for auy man pay
ing rent when ho can get a homo on
"Lthoso terms. He cannot loso anything,
for tho reason that If he should over
fail in his payments ho has an equity
thnt has a cash valuo something ho
could not havo if ho paid rent. Tho
sense of satisfaction In undertaking
an enterprlso like this Is tremendous,

Do you not think you would bo hap

It ought to bo mentioned that If
any person solocts this design and
wants to build, tho best method Is to
consult a real estato man, It the in

a lot, and arrango to havo the houso
built on tho monthly payment plan.
Of course, It is prefernblo to pay coBh

requirement at tho outset Is tho do

GLASS-MAKING BY MACHINERY
Inventors Were Long In Perfecting
Process, But Their Persistency
Has Overcome All Obstacles.
It was only within recent years that
tho art of making window glass by ma
chinery wob mastored, tho old crude
hand methods which had boon the
only menns known for hundreds ol
years dying hard and slowly. Invon
tors and skilled mechanics found nil
their efforts resisted, not so much be
cause of any particular opposition on
tho part of tho hand-workors, but bo
cnuso they wore unaWo to perfect tho
correct form of machinery for their
purpose. Even now a considerable
quantity of window glass ts still hand
mado, but machinery Is everywhere
displacing tho process. Until about
twenty years ago a man with a blow
pipe represented tho only inatuod of
producing window glaBS, nnd the
sheets wero-limited to about two feot
by threo feot, even then containing
defects which could not bo ' avoided.
By tho perfecting of tho cylinder and
sheet-drawing process It hns recently
bdeomo posslblo to manufacture glass
of good quality and beautiful clarity In
about tho samo manner that paper Is
mado that Is, In a continuous sheet.
Machinery does everything, taking tho
glass from tho molten mass In tho fur
nace, handling it automatically through
all Its changes until It Is delivered on
a table, ready to bo washed, cut and
boxed for shipment Theso machine
made sheets havo already been mado
as largo as fivo feet wldo by ten feot
long, and apparently tho slzo Is limited
only by tho bIzo of the machine. The
first commercial factory for making
continuous shoot drawn window glaBS
was built In Pennsylvania In 1907.

Tho senior partner disappeared and

thing." "How's that7"
"Tho Janitor Is now tho superin

partner. "But why didn't you mako

"Because" answered tho senior
member, "I know ho'd want a promo

It Is pleasing to nota 'that town

Idea of directing tho future develop
ments of clustorod communities along
thoughtfully planned linos, instead of
on tho old stylo go-as-you-please plan,
Is spreading, with hopoful Indications
that it will como into universal ac
