Tragedies in Polish History.
These assassinations OF officials and the
shooting of policemen do not appear to
cause any great amount of public concern
The people seem to be used to It, and If you
will study the historical pictures In the art
gallery you will discover that nearly every
one of them illustrates some fearful tragedy
in Polish annals and that every event In the
civilization of this kingdom has been spat-
tered with blood. You may read. for exam
pie. of an amiable Polish princess named
Elizabeth Bathori. sister of one of the
kings named Sigamund, who, in 1870 was
convicted of killing young children in order
to preserve her complexion by washing her
face In their blood. She Is said to have
been a very beautiful woman and to have
been much admired by everybody at
court. One day In a fit of temper she stab
bed a page that was waiting on her and
both her hands were covered with his blood.
AS she washed off the stain she fancied
that the skin had grown whittier. and she
was SO vain of her complexion that she
concluded to try similar baths for her face.
Not until 800 children had been sacrificed
to her vanity and superstition did she dis
cover that the treatment was useless.
You can find lots Of stories like this in
Polish history. It is series of tragedies.
