which misfortune has logged the

persons, although no i'll omen seems
to attach to il in the case of ordin.
airy citizens.
For instance, King John of Eng

er altogether justly or not, as a most
famous prince. John of France was
taken captive by the Black Prince,
and John Ballot Of Scotland was most
thoroughly despised by his country.
men on account Of his fawning atti-
tude toward the English. Robert Ill.
OF Scotland changed his name from
John, but this did not save him from
his destiny. He himself was a Grip
pie and died of a broken heart. the
most tragic fate having overtaken all
most dear to him.
John i. of Bohemia was blind. The
Pope John /. was imprisoned by the
King Of the Goths, and Pope John X.
was driven from Rome by the Duke
OF Tuscany. Pope John XI. was in,-
prisoned by his brother, and is sup
posed to have been poisoned, a fate
similar to that of Pope John XIV.
Pope John XIV. was forced to fee
from Rome. and died Of fever in Tus-
cany. John XVI, dubbed the "anti.
pope" after a troubled career, was
Brutality tortured and consigned to a
dungeon for the brief remainder OF
his life.
John !. of Constantinople was poi.
soned; John III. was killed while hunt.

throned, his eyes put out, and he was
left to die in prison. John /. of Cas-
tile was killed by fall from his

seems to cling about the name in SO
