 That will, replied the sOOthsayer.
 Leave me alone with the stars. The soothsayer left the presence for space of time. When he returned he said:
 "T learn, how I cannot tell, that on the twelfth day of the eighth month, the war waging between this country l and the kingdom of Spain will end. Mark my words
 MT. Crol1er made record of tho saying of the soothsayer. One night, as he was musing over the affairs of state, the extra editions of tho news papers arrived, announcing in great black letters. The war is ended The peace protocol had been signed that afternoon in Washington. The King glanced at the date line. He in voluntarily started from his chair as he read: Friday, August 12, 1898.' He felt in his pocket and found a
 soiled slip of paper. He unfOlded it.
 It read: Friday. August 12, 1898, the 1 war will end.'
 The following is from the New
 York Herald account of Reeses pre- l diction of the date when Spain would i sue for peace:
 t'It is a matter of record, established 1 by the testimony of witnesses of un- 1 impeachable veracitY, that this man | foretold the date on which Spain
 would sue for peace. This was months l before there was any indication that | hostilities would cease"
 A Story of the Revolution of 1S4s. ] Professor Berthold Reese is a Polish Jew, claiming as his native place, 1 Pudewitz, Prussian Poland, where he
 was born January 26, 1S41. He was
 six years old when his singular gift i came into public notice.
 At that time the German revolution l of 1S48 was impending. Roads leading | to castles and official buildings were
 being secretly undermined. The child grew mystif1ed and agitated as, to his
 inner perceptions, these secret opera | tions proceeded. He tried to tell his parents and others the best he knew 1 how what was occurring hundreds of
 miles away. The rumor of his strange l statements came to the notice of the
 government authorities, who, after
 questioning him, took him, accom-
 panied by his brother and sister, to
 
 led them to the spot where the truth
 of his vision was strikingly confirmed. 1 The rebels were apprehended just in
 time, for the work had proceeded aI-
 most to a conclusion.
 l Thereafter the child was widely ex-
 hibited for five weeks, and his re-
 markable psychic vision was tested to
 the marvel of all that witnessed the
 tests. On his restoration to his par | ents, the superstitiOus neighbOrs re- | garded him as wizard and avoided l him as well as the hardware store of { his parents. He was sent to schOo , at POsen. At siXteen when he re- | turned home, he was feared more | than ever This led him to emigrate 1 to the United States, and he has been | a citizen of this country since July 8,
 1859. He first lived in Pennsylvania
 and then in Leadville, Col, where he
 was employed by a prospector at ] $250 a week.
 The Message for Montgomery. Here a curious incident typical of 1 Reese's career occurred. This was
 the now well-known telepathic mes l sage he received on a certain day-a | day that stands out as an episode in
 his highly eventful career. He says
 that on this day, just as he was in the | act of washing his hands, an impulse ] came over him to find man by the
 name of Montgomery and to explain l to him that in Brooklyn, New York,
 his wife had just dropped dead. He | called to Wasserman, his employer,
 and told him of this queer impulse
 and insight, but was rebuffed by the l advice to mind his own business Reese
 nevertheless urged Wasserman to find l out at the hotel whether there really
 was guest by that name. Wasserman
 was a guest by that name Was
