EX-CZAR REAL JOY KILLER
Little Wonder Princess Didn't Enjoy
Wearing Rting After Hearing That
Gruesome Anecdote.
E-Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria al
ways had a great- fondness for rings,
and his delicate, tapering fingers usu
ally were loaded with rare jewels. A
lussian pwineess who was a guest of
1rerdinand at a dinner in Sophia once
admired especlatly a ring that he wore
-a pearl surrounded by rubles.
"That dng pleases you?" asked Fer
dinand, who had noticed her interest in
it. And then, in the haughty tone
which was his wont, ie added: "A
tear encircled by drops of blood. Per
mit me to put- It on your finger."
Leaning toward her, he continued,
nonchalantly:
"It is a -gift that has just been sent
to me by one of the most notorious
bandIts on the Bulgarian frontier, a
.truly remarkable man. He it Is who
holds the record for the number of
hands be has cut off his victins. I
have no doubt that he got this ring
from a finger just as charming as
yours."
The princess turned pale and Ferdi
nand continued:
"But don't be disturbed, madame.
This ring which I have the honor of
offering you was given to me without
the finger."
The princess never knew whether
the -cxar was serious or whether he
was trying to confuse her. She nev
er wore the ring.

ELDERLY MAN GOOD WALKER
Brooklyn Citizen, Fond of Pedestriap.
Ism, Has a Record That Few Are
Likely to Equal.
Garret Brower of this city walked
2,000 miles when he was ninety years
old. le is now ninety-seven years old
and for the past three years he has
given up walking as a regular occu
pation. But for about 12 years before
that he walked persistently, in bad
weather and good, on week days and
holidays. And this at a time when
he had long passed beyond the three
score and ten years supposed to be
man's allotted span of life.
He used to walk with a pedometer
at his belt 9s his only companion.
From his former home on Willough
by avenue, he would walk out to the
Williamsburg bridke and across to
Manhattan. This not appearing long
enough for a grownup man, he often
would walk back to the Brooklyn end
of the bridge and then cross and re
cross the bridge two or three times
before starting home. In his diary he
kept a record of the distances cov
ered on these expeditions. They va
ried from month to month; but seven
years ago, when he had reached the
age of ninety, his walks still averaged
six miles a day. Being now close to
the century mark, he has discontinued

FIND NEW SOURCE OF SUGAR
Scientists Have Learned From Indians
That it Can Be Produced From the
Douglas Fir.
An Indian secret closely guarded for
generations by the red man has been
brought to light by John Davidson,
botanist of the University of British
Columbia, at Vancouver, and James
Teit, who has spent most of his life
in the interior of the Canadian prov
ince and has an intimate knowledge
of the life and habits of the natives.
The secret is that the Douglas fir
a famous tree of great size-produces
sugar that is extreinely sweet and Is
valued at $0 a pound.
The announcement is tnade by the
Anierican Forestry a.soelation,
through an article written by Franes
Dickle a nd published In the American
Forestry Magazine. The area in which
this sugar is found in abundance Is
between the fiftieth and fifty-first par
allels and between 121 and 122 de
grees of longitude. These areas take
in the Thomnpson river valley, west of
the mouth of Nicola river, the district
near the junction of the Fraser al
Thompson rivers at Lytton ind a
small part of the Oraser valley above
,illooett. In the Kamloops district,
the Nicola and Similwvameen valeys
and the eastern part of the state of
Washington the sugar is also reported
to be found.
Unconventional "Professions."
Sonic of the unconventional "profeS

guarantees to be able to furnish an

ex-officer, who says he bwecame an efil
clent letter writer while in the
trenches in Flanders, will write breezy
letters to interesting people for "so

the war on old-established fortunes,
scores of highly linacedl women are try
