ABYssINIAN FEAsTs.
Strange speetaeIes That SAVIOR Of the
Days Of Homer.

Europeans who have visited the
court of the king of Abyssinia
agree in describing life in that
realm as peculiarly like what we
suppose the life of the nations Of
antiquity to have been. BY some it
is spoken of as a reproduction of
Europe in the middle ages; others
90 much further and call it "Ho,
merle" What they mean may be in
ferrcd from the experience of the
French Prince Henry Of Orleans,
who attended a banquet given to
him by the king of kings.
1t was the day after the great
Abyssinian festival of st. Raguel,
and the prince and his suit were
invited to dine with Menelik at the
palace. The negus sat on a raised
platform above his guests, who were
served somewhat in the European
manner with various kinds of food
and with hydromel, a wine of hon
cv, and araki, another Abyssinian
beverage.
But this meal was only a prelude
20 the real Homeric scene. After
Tie king and his European guests
Lad eaten n curtain of rude tapes
try was drawn, disclosing the main
part Of the kings hall. Then the
Europeans saw a strange and an
tiQue spectacle, all the kings Off
GERS, even the s%ubalterns, entering
to rartakc of a feast to be offered in
real Abyssinian fashion.
They marched in groups, clad in
barburous military attire, swarthy
and most picturesque warriors, who
seemed to be issuing from the midst
Of ancient soIcmnity. They formed
in circles about a great number of
hampers containing Abyssinian
cakes. This they did without any
form of salutation to the negus,
whose guests the officers now we're.
The kings musicians blew a long
blast on their trumpets, and the
guests sat down. And now really
/ Homeric viands were brought in,
! great quarters of beef roasted
whole and similar quarters of NUT
ton. The servants who brought
them held them aloft with the
sticks on which they we're imPaled,
and the guests, drawing long, sharp
knives, cut off pieces and proceeded
to eat them. At the same time large
cups made Of the horns Of cattle
were filled with hydromel and
passed around.
The Europeans were able to
fancy themselves as being in the
days of Homer. They could easily
picture the companions of Achilles
Remembering an OK under the walls
of Troy. Soon, to complete the illu-
sion, two bards appeared bearing
great lozenge shaped guitars, and,
leaning against the central wooden
pillars of the hall, their heads
thrown back, they improvised wild
songs of war and love to divert the
company.-Chicago Record Herald,

CORPSE STANDING UPRIGHT
Section Hands Find Body Leaning
Against Pole Near Railroad
Brothers Identify Dead Man.

Massillon, GA corpse, said by
the police to be that of j. Maddrell,
who has one brother here and two
brothers in Canton, o.. was found
standing upright against a telegraph
pole near the Pennsylvania tracks
here. 1t was at first thought the body
was that of a Cleveland man by the
same name. but later the body was
identified by the brothers. They left
without making arrangements for the
burial.
Mystery surrounds the manner in
which the man met death. The
theory that seems to prevail is that
he fell from the vestibule of a train
and died from the injuries thus re-
ceived.
Although an examination disclosed
| the fact that both arms and one leg
were broken and the skull badly
crushed. the position of the body was
so lifelike many passed it without
| discovering life was extinct. The
wounds on the head are thought to
have been the direct cause of death.
A Chicago customs tailor's label,
| showing the suit on the corpse was
made for a man by the name of j.
Maddrell, was the only clew as to the
identity. The hat found on the body
carried the label of Taylor & Puryear,
Jonesboro, Ark. In the pockets were
found several 81 bills and ticket
from Canton to ST. Louis. These led
to the belief that the man came from
