Of course this takes a good slice of his private fortuno, and the noxt appointee finds himself regarded as an American millionaire, who expects to take the shine out of the reigning monarch. BDt lie can't always do it. a One of our wealthy New York newspaper owners a year ago rented for thp summer tho country palace on the continent recently occupiod by the king of Bulgaria, if I am not mistaken.
