PROpHEsIED GERMANY's END.
Medieval Monk Who Picked Wilhelm ii.
TO End His Dynasty.

to End His Dynasty.
BERLIN, July s.-Five years more and
the German Empire will come toan end. So
at least says a prophecy made in the thir-
teenth century by a monk named Her
mann, who lived in the monastery Of Lehnin
In Brandenburg, where he wrote a work
In Latin concerning the future destiny Of
Germany for many centuries. The work
is styled the "%vaticinium Lehninense, . and
1t Is in verses after the manner Of the Sybil-
line books.
The monk seems to have foretold the
defeat at Jena and the constitution Of the
Germanic Confederation In 1915. Unfor-
tunately the prophetic Hermann foretells
in plain language the downfall OF the Hohen-
zollern dynasty. and William II. Is destined
to be the last Of his race to sit on the i'm
perial throne. The verses that foretell

TAt last the sceptre Is in the hands OF him
who will be the last OF the royal race. Israel
attempts an exeorable crime that death
alone can expiate.l
In 1910 William l., King Of Prussia, oon-
suited a celebrated soothsayer, who in
answer to his queries told him that he
would ascend the throne In iS4e, that the
German Empire would be established In
1871, that he would die In 1885. and that the
German Empire would come to an end In
1918. The first three prophecies have been
fulfilled TO the very letter.

TOGTING AT AMATEUR RACES.
An Art, Small Though the Returns. That the
AntI.Ga mbllng Laws Killed.

There hasn't been an amateur hun club
| race meeting since the anti-gamhling laws
went into effect, but when one does come
along il will how that one industry has
gone out Of business. That Is the touting
game as performed at the steeplechase
races. There Is a difference between touting
at q big track and tho same at one Of the
small amateur race meets. For one thing
the public at the gentlemen's races is rather
better informed and isn't nearly so easy to
approach. 30 great care has to DO exer-
oised. and here the tout has to how his
qualities as a psychologist.
The amateur racetrack out deals only
in tho largest names and not in the way Of
those renowned Us plungers. For instance
one of them one afternoon came up to q
citizen who he thought might be fair game
and said: "D'ye see that man over there?
That's W. X. Vanderbilt, Jr.. and the man
he's talking to is the fellow who puts down
all his bets for him. Let's find out who he's
betting on
That would have been all right but for
the fact that the betting commissions
did not go, like the ordinary folk. direct
to one Of the five or six bookfnakers there.
No, he went In back and talked to the
sheet writer, who took his bet. So the tout
man he had tackled just which horse W.
X, Jr.. had picked out. And the joke Of
il was that It was really W. X, Jr.. so there
was no fraud about that part Of II.
The touts always follow the very biggest
people and try to get an inkling OF what
they are doing. But their most difficult
work is to get hold Of the right person to
tout. They'd make q big mistake II they
tackled one Of the well informed. and as the
others don't do much betting the where

Fathers Summer.

From me Dtneer REPUBLICAN.
We hear o lot from poet chaps
Who move our hearts 10 pity
Because poor father has 70 stay
And work hard In the city
The while his family enjoys
A glorious vacation:
But this shows that the poet tribe
Has missed Its calculation.
For what does father do
But Qryt his work AZ two
And, after q most nifty lunch, hikes TO the baseball
ground:
AT eight dIues 4 10 carte,
Then makes an early start
For the local Coney Island. where the wheels are
going round.
We hear about his toiling hard
To meet his wife's expenses,
And how he sends Away each week
His dollars and his centses:
But that Is most fictitious stun
The poet chaps arc stTcwing.
For making gray hairs sprout Is Just
What father Is not doing.
He sees a summer show
Where cooling brecxes blow,
And then he gets q touring car and has . midnight
roam.
And the only care he knows
Is when this message shows
We've all been bored 10 death here and now we're
coming home"

And though this ego hustled, once more he ran

But Pharaoh ran against him: the business men

postage stamps, n the familiar red stamp,
the other an unfamiliar stamp Of q dull

The green stamp carried in the oval q figure
in flowing robes discoursing sweet music
upon the harp. In the top panel was the
legend "Eirne. on each OF the two side pam
els was the inscription "Sinn Fein," all the
bottom panel displayed q oouohant hound.
On small shields in the four corners were
the heraldic blazons Of the kingdoms OF

more solid collateral value. but 1t serves
