Mrs. Rockefeller Mccormick re-
ceived telegram few days ago from
man she has not seen in the last
$500 years. Before she received the
message, the gentleman was kind
enough to advise her Geographically
that she would hear from him. His
name is Count Sebastian Knodlock
Droste, reincarnation of that Egyp-
tian king, Amenophis w, who reigned

by six subject chiefs as bodyguards
and two lions for playmates. He
claims descent from King Solomon

that with reasonable assurance that
his claim would be considered plaus-

concerning Solomon's fondness for the
ladies. The prince announced his de-
sire to come to America and expressed
his admiration for this country A
