Too rampAlirn of llarll the Second,
which ended a few months later with tho
battle of Zetunium and the destruction
or tho Bulguilan nationality, was be
Kun SO years aeo.

"wan the last of
neveral expeditions
BKalrutt tho rmoplo
which had irfven lu
flnlto trouble not
only to the llysan
tlne empire, lut t'j
nil the surrounding
nations.
Tim Bulgarians
appear to have bail
their original homo
beyond tho Caspian,
from which they
were driven about COO years before Christ.
Their next habtta(. appears to have bren
that part of Armenia whlrh lira north
of the Araxe. They took rxirt In the
Munnish Invasions, and coon after the
death of Attila established themselves In
JCurope.
They were originally of Finnish stock,
and from our first Rllmpso of thnm ap
jar as men of linnsual fearlessness In
battle. Gibbon speaks of them as "the
wild people who dwelt or wandered In
the plains of Ilussla, IJthuanla nnd
roland."
They were, tho historian Informs us,
fcolri and dexterous archers, who drank
the milk and feasted on tho flesh of their
tlet and Indefatigable horses, whose
blocks and herds followed tho wander
inira of their roving imps, to whoso In
roads no country was remoto or Im
pervious, and who wcro practised In
slight though incapable of fear.
They fought on foot, almost naked, and,
except for a heavy shield, without any
defensive armor. They wern total
tranters to far, and such wan their
hardihood that no amount of privation
seemed to affect them.
For more than five centuries the
Olulgers harrassod tho eastern empire,
often V tno Point of desperation. In
C87 they defeated the great .TuHtlnlau, and
ven threatened tho destruction of Con
stantinople Itself. About tho year 10O0
Basil the Second, cnillng; to his aid the
entire resources of tno empire, went out
softer his troublenomo nolghbora of ,tho
'north and kopt after thorn for fourtuen
years.
The crucial day cumo on Jul)- 29, 1014.
when, at he liattle of Kctunlum, tho
liuleer hosts were wiped out and tholr
nationality practically destroyed.
liaall took 15,000 prisoners at Xetunlum,
and tho disposition thnt ho made of thorn
Dhows tho great advnnco that has been
triads in humanitartanlsm since tho
fctevenlh century. The victor caused the
(eyes of the 1E.0O0 prisoners to be put out,
leaving one eye only to every hundredth
nan, to enable him to conduct his coun
trymen home.
But the Bulgars wcro made' of tough
tnatcrlal, and In spite ot what Busll did
to them they succeeded, In 11SC, In ro
cstabllihllug. In part, their Independence,
3'"or two centuries they succeeded In
maintaining a quasi liberty, when they
were overrun by tlio Turhs. In 1SH5
Dajnzet conquered them and annoxod
Ihelr country to tho Ottoman empire.
It is a lontr call from 13M to 1878. when
Bulgaria, as the result of Innumerable
Old Fairy Tales Made New J5& The sleePiw Beauty and the Prince By Nell Brinkley

Ami when Beauty sleeps, tho true Prince- Love can awaken lier heart and her soul with a kiss.
Insurrections, backed by tho moral sup
port of tho powers, waa constituted an
autonomous principality, tho foundation
of tho Independence it now enjoys.
What tho Bulgars have dono In the. past
two or thrco months Is tho talk and won
der of tho world, nnd, unless nil signs
fall, they will soon got back at tho Turks
in a most substantial fashion.
Concentration Wins Success
Dorothy Dix Says:
The Way His Wife Meets Him on Return from Work Settles the
Question of Many a Man's Ability to Fight the Battle of Life And
How a Man Greets His Wife Means Happiness or Misery for Her.

IJtUe Autumn Cloud, , otherwise Miss !
Antoinette Walker, sat In her dressing
(room restini; her small Chinese feet, and
reHectlng on the delight of belng"sthe
Mark, wicked little cloud In "Yellow
Jacket" and having escaped from years
"of curly blond ingenues.
"It's really a relief to be a siren after
playing bhiaa-and-buttur - inlssea, oven
it one does have to walk on shos like
'these." and she held up one of those
tiny slippers with the heel right In the
'mid die of the sole.
If you havo not seen this extraordi
nary Chinese play, no criticism or descrip
tion can give you an adequate idea of
the remarkable effect obtained by the
.sheer art of the actors and actresses In
cieatlne a perfect Illusion without tho
'!d of anything but the crudest Chinese
stage properties.
In tlta scene, where the hero and the
"little Aujumn Cloud float down the river
f pleasure listening to the splosh of the
water and watching the other boats
'as they -pas, one feels the rhythm of
the, dark, alaepy water, the slow move
'tuent of tho boat, the languorous evening
.brcwn. indeed tho picture is perfect; yet
Ion the stage Micro is nothing but a few
Ivenshea, a draped pole, two men with
bamboo poles for oars, and one ot the
musicians In the background giving tho
sound of the oars, by means of sand
paper boards. H Is tho triumph of art
and acting over stave props.
"This is the most difficult part I have
over had to do." said little Miss Walkr.
una us tile most Interesting-. Some-
times' I think we almost have to hypno
tise me auuienco into seeing and feeling
with us. and I bejleve U'b a genuine feati
to be able to do It.
"Mow do we do tt? Well. In the first
place there Is never a single movement
when each one of us is not keyed up to
ths highest pitch. If one dropped for a
single second the entire aone would go.
It's a matter of the very closest concen
tration, and that is the secret ot success
In everything, anyhow, but we demon
strate! that each evening, especially, I
think. In the boating scene. I see every
bit of the changing landscape as I look
out Into space: I hear the voices of the
lovers In other boats. I watch them pass.
If I stopped for one Instant. If my atten
tion wavered the Illusion would be lost.
Of course. It's the same thing with tho
Others. We have, learned much phltos-o-l.ly
and are In 'Yellow Jacket,' and
have a dally lesson In the hardest kind of
mental concentratloc
In London they are going to hold a
"simple lite exhibition" In which tho sim
ple life la to be treated In Its relation to
the married life.
Demonstrations are
to be glVoit show
ing the right and
wrong methods of
treating a husband
and a wife
There will be n
'model room In
which there will
be a wife await
ing her husband's
return, and a man
will show how
other men should
act upon tholr re
turn to their own
firesides, while a
woman will gVo
exhibition ot the
manner In which a wife should receive
her husband wjien he cornea home of an
evening.
This exhibition of home manners ought
'to do good, even It It doesn't. It's a pity
that a lot of husbands and wives can't
;get a living picture of. the sort of wel
coma that they hand out to their unfortu
nai spousea if they did. they wouldn't
wonder that divorce Is ho common. They
woiild be amased that one other husband
or wife wasn't oft his or her way to Iteho.
One of the reasons why so many men
come home smelling of cloves and rye of
an evening is because they have to brace
up their courage to go hpme at all, and
face what they've got to contend with as
soon as their front doors shut.
The chief reason why there are so many
haggard looking, nervous, hypochon
driacal women is bcctiUHo there are such
a large number of wives whose hearts
go Into their shoes at the click of their
husband's key in the lock of an even
ing, and who use up ever)' particle of
nerve force they have got enduring tho
groudhinexs nnd knocking of a man who
thinks that the marriage service has given
him a license to abuse the woman ho
married worse than he would a dog. .
Perhaps not one woman . in n million;
every really takes any thought about
how nho shall meet her husband, yet
upon this apparently trivial matter hnngs
tho question ot whether marriage Is a
sucoess; or a falluro to him. Think ot a
man coming homo of an evening, tired
nnd worn with tho day's work. Suppose
hu comes home to a house tliat Is dark.
Suppose there lvno'oneUo welcome him
because his wife s away,, gadding tho
streets. Perhaps the house 1b untidy, and
there 'la ntrdt nrrer." savo-some messy stuff
from' the delicatessen- store that the wife
will bring In when she 'comes home.
Suppose when a . man comes home ho
looks for little faces against tho window
imnr, watching ifor papa. Suppose ear he'
puts the Key Into the door there Is - a
scurry of little feet to meet him, and
smothering arms Hbout his neck. ( Sup
pose nis first glance or home is of a
cheery, bright, orderly room, and of a
aweet-faced woman- with eyes glorified
by love welcoming- hl'm. Suppose tho
savory odors of a good dinner cooking
streams from tho kitchen also to meet
htm. v
Don't you think that makes a difference
which way a man Is met wheji he comes
home of an evening? Don't you think
that one man feels that no matter how
hard he works 1 for 'his family nor how
much he sacrifices for them that It Is
worth While, and that ho gets . value re
turn for his service, whllo the other man
asks himself and nobody can blame him
-"Oh. what's, the use?"
Huppose a man come homo nerve
racked of an evening. All day long he
has been on the rock of terrible anxiety,
all day ho has had to fight for his very
existence, all day he had to hold himself
with an Iron hand to keep from offending
those whom it would be suicide In his
business or profession to offend. He la
at the placo whore ho. feels theVwelgh
of another feather -would, break his back.
j;et the. mln,ute',heopchs the door oC hjs
home' his rwlfe deliiKos him with every,
petty vexation that has happened to her
(luring the day.
Before he can catch his breath she has
begun on 1 how bad .the children have
been, how the majd broke his pet pipe.
ibw the cook lsgolng to leave, how big
the butcher bill is, how strange it is that
hn can't make money to buy an auto
mobile, as Tom Jones has done.
Suppose an exhausted man come honiA
of an evening ,to.' a wife whose wlso eyes
take In -Just-,' how weary? he la, and who
drags, hi in across itHe threshold Jnto an,
atmosphere of perfect. pace and calm, of
soothing lovo'ahd iflattery.'and Who tells
him ' only -brfght , and 'Joyous things that
wllUdXvext his wary mind .and make him
forget the cares, of 'the day.
, It doesn't take any Sherlock Ilolmes to
tell which one of these men is going oyer
the precipice of nervous prostration, does
It? The way his wife meets him settles
the question of many a man's ability to
fight the battle ot life.
And suppose a woman has worked and
tolled all day In the home. Suppose she
has wrestled with teething babies and
refractory sewing machines, and has
burnt herself to' a cinder cooking some
faVortte dish for her husband. Suppose
when ho comes home he bangs tho door,
and kicks the cat, and slaps the baby,
and slta down and gobbles his dinner,
and merely grunts wle'n she asks him a
question. Suppose his first word on en
tering the house Is Invariably a criticism.
Suppose he never notices anything that
she Has done except to knock it.
Bupposo a woman has spent her day In
the dull round of domestic duties, doing
them as earnestly and conscientiously an
she can, and when night comes she Is
worn. In body and soul. Suppose when
hor husband comes homo ho meets her
with a glad, sweet' smile' and a kiss and
tells her that .Bho grows more beautiful
every (lay, and .that- she's the most won-'
uunui nouBencejJer m inn wonu, ana ma.
he thinks his guardian angel must 'have
been working overtime when he got her.
Suppose the husband brings with him
light and cheer, and brightness,' all the
little gossip of the outer wdrld that he
has picked up with which to amuso her.
Any difference in lire between those
two womeji?-Any likelihood of one or
those two -women finding an affinity, and
tho .6th'er;orfe not? One may be the way
her husband meets her when the wife of
a poor clerk, but. one Is miserable and the
other happy, for the way her liusband
meats her when he ' comes homo of an
evening makes' a woman envied or
envious, N
Bellevo me, the art of meeting yout
husband or your wife is worthy studying.
"People talk a great deal about mag
netism and fascination and every one
wonders what -It Is, Little Autumn
Cloud ha to hay both In her wicked
little make-up and I hope she has.
"What are they? Well, magnetism
seems to me to 1m the constant giving
out from a great reserve fund of brains
or heart without depleting, oneself. Fas
cination is a hundred different things.
The very habit ot paying close attention
constitutes a power to charm In some
people.
"Have you ever noticed that the girl
who knows how to listen Is always sure
of friends. That Is her power ot .fasci
nating. I remember my cousin, Walter
Whiteside, telling me to learn how to
listen to people.
"It gave me that advice, when I waa
a child, and I realize more and more the
power, tho fascination of the attentive
listener ot these days, especially when It
seems as If everybody were talking to
gether and nobody pays the slightest
heed to what the other is saying.
"People are always lamenting that the
art of conversation Is declining, but really
It Is the art of listening. Where you
tlnd itho earnest sympathetic .listener
you will find no lack ot fluent language,
though the conversation may bo nothing
inOi than a one.rlded monologue.
Th ijlrl who can listen well is sure
1-
to be a social favorite, though she may
have only the meagerest claims to beauty
or brain. Still she is always magnetic.
She is sending out those unseen waves
of sympathy, which attract people to her
and she can hold them by the same
quality hor silent concern about their
affaire. Nothing is so flattering to a man
as to gain a woman's close attention,
lie will always call that girl fascinating
who will listen with the most complete
absorption to the story of himself. If
she has tact and understaondlng enough
to urge him to continue on the same en
grossing topic she can be bum of his
admiration."
And seeing that this advice comes from
the most enchanting little fascinator,
girls will do well to follow it.
