A LEGEND OF WORMS.

Prophecy Of the Jewish Sage and lts
Strange Fuihliment
RASH lived during the time Of the
FIRST crusade. and one OF the legends
OF Worms connects him with this
event. lie was one day seated with
bis pupils. when a knight fun piano.
piled. made his way into the school
house and with threatening mlen thus
addressed him: rabbi, thy name for
wisdom has reached me aud fam would
learn my fate from thee. | have
assembled a host wherewith purpose
10 drive the infdcl Turk from the Holy
City, but before I set out demand 20
know whether my undertaking will
succeed. Answer me at once. ] have
no time for delay"
The rabbi replied: Thou wouldst
learn the future from met Alas, ! am
unable 10 foretelI II. God alone can
cay what the future win bring forth.
/ have no powers OF dlyinatiou, and
my faith forblds the assumption Of
them. Pray. therefore, forgive me II I
am unable 10 nccede TO thy request"
Rabbi exclaimed the knight In
tones Of passion, Il viii listen to no
refusal Well / know TINT thou canst
foretell the future II thou wilt As
truly as ana Godfrey Of BouiIlon, so
truly do promise to protect thee and
thy community from all harm, even IL
thou shouldst foretoll disaster to me.
But II Il Is a successful issue that thou
hast in store for me l will right roy
ally reward thee in addition on my re-
turn. What? Art thou silent? Speak
or by heaven my sword shan open thy
mouth wide enough"
my liege lord" answered the Jew
fish sage, there ls only one above who
can penetrate the future. Unless l
would deceive thee, which dare not
do, at most cnn but venture an opln-
ion of what will happen to thee. Thy
undertaking will only succeed in part.
OF thy immense host but three men
and one horses head win return In
safety" with blanched countenance
Godfrey Of Bouillon turned TO depart,
excIaimlng as he went, Take care,
Jew, IL return to find thou hast de-
ceived met Godfrey Of Bouillon went
up to Jerusalem, captured 1t and be-
came It's first king.
But his success was short lived, and
the tide Of war turned against him.
Defeat and disease decimated his vast
host until there remained but four rid
ers Of them all who made their way
TO Worms. 1.-THE Jew has not spoken
the TRUTH" he remarked as the gates
Of the city came In sight. lie said
we should return with only three rid
ers and horses head. He has lost his
reward" They rode up to the gates
and demanded admission. The massive
door behind was raised, and they pass
ed through But as the fourth rider
was about TO follow 1t fell down again
with heavy thud decapitating the
horse and leaving its trunk and burden
outside the city Conduct me to the
rabbi" said Godfrey Of Boulllon, II
must see him at once" But the rabbi
had long since left Germany.

the result of several test holes
bcirg drilled it WAS discovered
to Gay that the fire OF over thirty
years duration has been extln-
gulshed in the old Heckscher-
viii mine workings, adjoining
the large Pine Knot operation at
Coal Castle.
When it was learned that the
many years of fire fighting had
finally met with success there
was rejoicing among the Read
ing coal and iron officials, and
already preparations are under
way for drivinf several tunnels
to drain the old workings of the
water and culm slush which
have been poured into them for
many years to extinguish the
burning coal.
An explosion caused the fire,
but there being no facilities for
fighting it, the mine was sealed
up and abandoned for a time.
