PRESTER. JOHN.
Legends Of an Elusive Warrior OF the
Twelfth Century.


The famous If somewhat phantom
persorlgp Prester John. who for two
or three centuries occupied SO promi-
nent q place i'm the historic annals or
Europe and in the IN ndS Of Europeans,
was. from the most reliable accounts,
= Christian conqutror Of enormous
power and great srlendOr, who com
bined The character Of priest and king
and ruled over vast domlnions In the
orient I'm the middle ages. He had, 1t
was related. established II powerful en-
pire either I'm Asin or Africa, and won
derful stories were told OF his victo-
rles. his riches and his power.
His mode OF warfare, which was
unique and entirely effective, indicates
nm intimate acquaintance with eX-
plosives and combustibles. He pos
sessed an army of life sized copper
soldiers mounted on braZen horses,
which were charged with explosive
materials, proiectlles and poisonous
gas. This formidable array was mar
shaled to the front and spat forth It's
deadly fumes and dangerous projec-
tiles with horrid effectiveness, making
havoc in the ranks OF the enemy.
The first mention of this extraordi-
nary man. who appears and disappears
from historic annals at long intervals,
occurs I'm the Chronicles of Otto, Bish-
op Of Friesengen, who narrates Pres
ter Johns conquest Of the Persians at

CHAMPION LAZY PEOPLE.
Konuo Gluttons Who Do Little Else
Than Sleep and Eat.

nan SlecP anu Lat
According to NJ. friedman. a Ger
man traveller and historian recently re-
turned from the Kongo, there Is tribe
OF natives down I'm one of the interior
parts Of that region actually so stuffed
all OF the time with food, three or four
times as much as they have any need
OF. that they are continually in duh
and almost unintelligent stupor.
They do little besides sleep and eat.
They are too lazy TO do any individual
hunting. and It Is the dslllxed and un-
popular member Of the family that Is
forced to do the food providing for the
relatives. The women are quite as lazy
as the men and work only when IL Is
absolutely necessary to eat.
The only time when the natives
rouse themselves is at marriage or at
death Both OF these occasions are Gel
ebrated by eating more than on ordi-
nary occasions even, and the after er-
fects OF both events are often disas-
trous. as one or two Of the party are
sure to eat 80 much as to he seriously
and often, fatally sick, which only
means another celebration OF differ
ent kind.
The few missionaries who have pen
etrated the interior sufficiently far to
meet with these tribes own to their BE-
ing practically hopeless as far as any
regenerating is concerned. They seem
TO have been stupefed through the
centuries and to have become utterly
degenerate and useless members OF 30
ciety.-Chicago Tribune.

NAPOLEON'S BAD OMEN.
He Was Superstitious, and His Pre-.
sentiment Came True.


Napoleon the Great was exceedingly
mperstitious. The following Is told
AZ one ID the illustrations OF this:
Whea Napoleon. In the spring OF
l7g9, was lying before Acre he was
anxious for news from upper Egypt,
whittier he had dispatched Dessaix in
pursuit OF "a distinguished Mameluke
leader Not many days after cour-
der arrived with favorable dispatches,
favorable in the main. but reporting
pne tragical occurrence on small
scale that TO Napoleon outweighed the
public prosperity.
The commander as brave man felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than TO fall into the hands
Of the enemy. He set fire to the pow
der magazine. The vessel blew up
and the crew perished.
For all this Napoleon cared little,
but one solitary fact that was In the
report which struck him with secret
nlarm-thls Ill fated boat was called
LItalle, and I'm the name OF the vessel
Napoleon read an augury or the fate
which had befallen the italian terri
tory. He felt certain that Italy was
lost, and Napoleon was incopsolable.
But what possible connection. Il was
asked, can exist between this vessel
on the Nile and remote peninsula OF
southern Europe? "No matter" re-
piled Napoleon. my prcsentmontS

all is ruined. am satisfied that my
