MANY PILGRIMS FLOCK TO SEE IT.
A Bishop Makes SOLEMN Test, After Which He
Says Tho 6locd 0Olng Is a Miracle.
Picture Placed Ia Shrine.

Vienna, July 1S-A town near Lem
berg, in Galicia, called Neweseilka, has
a miracle which may make Il as IA
NOUS as Lourdes.
a man named Kulczyki, who lives In
picturesque villa on the outskirts OF
Neweseilka. had in his gallery a por-
trait OF the Empress Elizabeth, OF Au-
Straa, WHO was 50 cruelty assasinat-
ed. After her, death the loyal Kul-
czyh fought more of the painting
than ever. 1t was framed and behind
glass.
He found soon after the burial of
the august lady TO his great astonish-
ment, that what seemed tobe blood
oozed from the canvas. IL welled up
from spot near the heart and trickled
down the portrait.
"A miraclel" the owner OF the paint
ing cried. He called in the neighbors.
They were awe-struck at the spectacle
Of the blood" and advised KufczyAi 20
inform the churc-. authorities. as
doubtless the miracle had some strange
and important significance that could
be Interpreted only by the learned.
The matter was hooked upon by the
church authorities as OF such moment
that they sent for Bishop Shuciewicz,
who was deeply impressed by the
rumors. In the presence OF prominent
church people, with great reverence. ne
took the picture from the wall and re-
moved IL from the frame. a moment
later he uttered a cry of surprise.
The bosom is really soaked with
blood, he exclaimed, and a murmur OF
aStonishment ram round the I.e,e
group.
In order I'd make sure that he was
not The victim of sone deception the
Bishop sent for a local artist, whom he
employed % clean the painting. The
artist removed from IL all traces OF the
blood
Then 1t was hung in the parsonage OF
the focal Greek church, where no one
could tamper with it. Next day the
blood began TO ooze again from the
heart OF the picture OF the good En-
press.
This is a miracle" cried the Bishop.
The ecclesiastics are puzzled over the
meaning of the miracle. The only eX-
PLANTATION which they can think OF Ia
that the soul OF the departed Empress,
who was a deeply relig. Gus woman OF
noble m, is sorely troubled on ac-
count of the great sins Of the people of
1ialicia. They neglect the church. and
many lead careless lives.
This is the view taken by the peo-
pie. They come daily to do penance
before the portrait which they hope
Will bleed no more If tl.ey return TO the
pious ways OF their ancestors.
OF course. there are some scoffers in
O. 'cia who declare that thorough ex-
animation OF the portrait would prove
that the flow OF blood is not miraculous.
but mechanical.
The ISLANDERS OF these men are not
needed by the people Of Newesielka.

villa of Kulczyh. and IT is visited by

ARMY TRAGEDIES.
Events That Never We're Never Recorded in

Tragedies in our own camps-out-

anger had called Davis a long string If
hard names. is one of the few that
came to the surface. You wouldn

once so close to a tragedy that it
makes my gray hair rise up as | re-
call it.
While a number of officers of the
regiment We're in the majors tent {

ception to. and war of words fol-

confess that for time | did fear h
would make me trouble in the way of 4
court martial but the matter seemed
to blow over.
One fail afternoon the captain in
Vited me to take a walk With him.
Thinking that our troubles had COM
pletely healed. | consented On the
way back to camp we passed through
an orchard. / climbed a tree to get
some apples. Just as | reached for an
apple | saw the captain reach for his
revolver and glare at me like very

Instantly l loosened my hold ana
dropped to the ground. Selling a
stake, | took my place by his side and
said: Now. You cowardly dog. put up
that gun or I'll brain you This time

month, though | made no threats and
had no thought of reporting his at

The next fight we got into we ma !a
up for good and all. and remained fast
friends until the final roundup when
General Joe Johnson had his mau
throw down their guns and go home -
make crop. 1t happened in this
way: The colonel had given the orde"
to form line of battle AS adiutant It
was my duty to see that each captain
carried out the order.
When | reached the would-be assas-
