AN OLD TIME PROPHECY
Happy Will He Those
Escaping the Perils of
That Period, --They will
lie Able to Enjoy the
Fruit of the keijrn of
I lie Spirit And The
Purging of Humanity.
Tlic lnllowiiig is a lian,liiii()ii of
a rcmarkahlc al II e ry from a book
eiuiik'il "Oiiilmis of tlic Great
War," whicli was wrillen in IH50,
m ilic close of tlic Tinny Years'
War. The auihor was a German
monk, known as I'.roilicr Johannes
aiul rite.- hook is very rare, and the
ir ihsl.iiion is now uoing he rounds
oF ihe press, hoih in America and
ihe old country.
The allegory is inieresiing for
ihe thai ii follows closely ihe
c ents el the great war no raging
ami predicts the anal overthrow of
the K.nser. In tlte allegory l-'rance
is represented as a cock, littgland
as a leopard, fiussia as a while
eagle, Germany as a black eagle,
Austria as the other eagle, while
the lamb stands for justice, mercy
and truth. As translated it reads
as follows:
"Toward the year 21)00 the An
tichrist will manifest himself. His
army will surpass in numbers all
that can be imagined. There will
be Christians among the legions
and there will be Mohammedans
and savage soldiers among the de
fenders of the lamb.
"For ihe first time the lamb will
be all red. There will not be a
single spot on the Christian world
that will not be red, and the red
will be in the heavens, the earth,
the waters and even in the air, for
blood will flow in the domains of
the lour elements at once.
"The black eagle will throw
himself on the cock, who will lose
many feathers, but will strike back
heroically with his spurs. He
would soon be losi were it not for
the help of the leopard and his
laws.
"The black eagle will come from
the country of Luther, will sur
prise the cock from another side
and will invade the country of the
cock up 10 the middle of ii.
"The white eagle coming from
the north will .surprise the black
eagle, and the other eagle will in
vade ihe country of ihe cock up 10
the middle of it.
"The black eagle will see him
self forced to liberate the cock in
order to light the white eagle and
the cock will pursue the black eagle
into the country of the Antichrist
to help the white eagle.
The battles fought up to then
will be as nothing compared to
those which will take place in the
country of Luther for the seven
angels w ill together pour into ihe
lire of their censors on the impious
earth, which signifies that the lamb
will order the extermination of ihe
race of the Antichrist.
When the beast sees that he is
lost he will become Furious and for
nuny uiouihs the beak of the white
eagle, the claws of the leopard and
the spurs of ihe cock will strike
fiercely at him. They will cross
rivers on ihe bodies of the slain,
and these in places will change the
c mrse of the waters.
"They will bury only the men
of noble families, the leading com
mandants and princes, because lo
the carnage made by the armies
will be joined by wholesale death,
those who will die of hunger and
pest.
"The Antichrist will ask manv
times for peace, bui the seven an
gels who walk in from of the three
animals defending the lamb have
declared that victory will only be
grained on condition that the Ami
Christ he crushed like a straw on
the barn Moor, '
"The executors of justice of the
lmh wim!'.I not s!"p fighting as
long as the Amiclirisi possesses
soldiers to fight against them.
"That which makes ihe decree
i if ihe lamb so implacable is tint
ihe Antichrist has pretended 10 be
a follower of Christ and to act in
His name, and if he does not per
ish the fruit of the Redeemer would
be lost and ihe doors of Hades
would prevail against ihe Saviour.
"The fight which will lake place
where the Antichrist- lorges his
arms will not in anyway be a hu
man fight." (lissen, the location
of the Krupp gun works.)
"The three animals defending
ihe lamb will exterminate ihe last
arm of the Anlichrisl; but ihey will
be forced to erect on the battlefield
a pyre as large as a city, for (he
bodies of the dead will change the i
aspect of ihe countryside, as (here
will be mounds of ihe slain.
"The Amiclirisi will lose his
crown and die in solitude and mad
ness. I lis empire will he divided
into iwenty-two states, but unite
uF them will any longer possess
fortresses, armies, or vessels. K a
riously there are twenty two states
in Germany now, whereas when
(his prediction was written ihe
empire was divided into twenly
five principalities. )
The while eagle, by order of St.
Michael, will drive the crescent
from Lurope and will install him
self i n Constantinople. Then
will begin an era of peace and
prosperity for the earth, and there
will be no more wars, liaeh na
tion will be governed by its desire
and will live according 10 the rules i
of justice. There will be no longer j
Lutherans or Schismatics.
"The lamb will reign and the
supreme happiness of humanity j
will begin. Happy will be those i
escaping the perils of that period.
They will be able to enjoy the fruit
of the reign of the spirit and the j
purging of humanity, which can j
only come after the defeat of the i
Antichrist."

FRIENDS WE COULD SPARE.
Most of Us Have at Some Time
Suffered at the Hands ol Un

The fellow who buttonholes you,
or picks hairs oil' your coat, and
maybe winks a rouuish sort of
wink, isn't in it with the shoulder

doesn't appear to be afraid of your
breaking away, but wants to be
confidential and intimate.
Then there is the fellow who
persists in trying to keep in from
of you. l ie necessarily crowds ;
you to the edge of the sidewalk or '
to the wall, j
I lis understudy is ihe chap who 1
tries to keep step without heitiE
able to get your step. Taking
about three sieps to your two he is
forever losing the step and forever
trying to catch it. Vi'hen you try
to accommodate your step to his
you are apt to find him trying lo
accommodate his step lo yours, so
thai you only muss up a bad mess.
Don't kill 'em. Heaven is just
and they get what's coming to
them; maybe not as hot as you
would serve it, but they'll get it all
right.
There are those who persist in
talking when we don't want to
talk, nor to be talked to. And
there are others, notably those
who persist in talking when we
want to talk ourselves. It is diffi
cult to say which of these is the
worse bore.
FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
A peculiarity of Washington's
death is that it occurred at the last
hour of the last day of ihe week of
the last month of the year, of the
18th century. The time was mid
night, Saturday, December 14th,
