THE TIMES: J'JliUAr, OITIWEE 15, 1920 NINE it 'I r- ENJOYS WEALTH BY SPENDING IT Berlin, Oct. 15. Former King Fer dinand of Bulgaria, fearing the in roads of the tax-gather, ia enjoying his wealth by spending it. At Mergentheim, which he is visit ing for the sake of the magnesia (springs, he leads a jovial and uncon cerned existance in striking contrast to the cloistered seclusion of the former German Emperor at- Amer ongen. . Under the name of Count von Mur ray, says a. writer In -the Zwoelf-. Uhrblatt, Ferdinand is residing at the Kurhaus together with his suite composed of chaplain, chamberlain, chauffeur, footman, valet and private secretary. His lavish expenditure has made him popular in the- town and surrounding country, where the villagers see in him an emblem of the "good old times" and greet him with cheers as he drives past in an automobile. The, fact that the British govern ment has released-the former King's sequestrated property is known to all and has earned for hi'rn the reputa tion, frequently - embarrassing, of being fabulously rich. His chief purchases are books, bronzes, pic tures and jewels. His secretary has a difficult task in keeping off ' the host of people who want private aud iences on business. A chimney-sweep for instance, has discovered the sec ret of turning the chimney smoke into j high-class boot polish and wants King Ferdinand to advance him 3,-1 1 , 000 marks for the exploitation of the invention. ? Someone also has invented an ever burning match and he. wants money from the Kig to convert this theory into pracice. The secretary has much trouble to make it clear that his master has finally retired from bus iness. Other aspirants to munificence avoid ' the economically-minded sec retary and waylay Ferdinand on his motor excursions. , . . - e , A man whose ambition in life was to shake hands with royalty received one day a card ostensibly from the Count-Veon Muranny inciting him -to an audience. 'Overjoyed, he hurried to the Kurhaus in frockcoat and tall hat. The victim of an hoax did not obtain the longed for audience, but instead four new 50-mark .notes which Ferdinand serit 'out to' him as consolation money. MYSTERIOUS RAIN " PUZZLES DCBIJS, GA.
