Bell has been investigating, and he

framed to prevent panics, the theory
being that If children are accompanied

IS A CHASTITY SIGHT

VIENNA, Dec. 1O.-(By mail TO
New York )-Lieutena Franz Koal-
esld recovering in a local hospital
from a bullet wound through his right
lung, today gave q wonderfully vlVid
and gripping account Of one moro
horror of the present European war
the horror of the Galician marshes.
These marshes extend for almost
endless miles through great stretches
of Galicia. Their almost fathomless
mires are the accumulation of cen
turies of decayed vegetable and animal
matter. From them there arises cons
stand malaria and other miasmatic eX-
halations equally as deadly as tho
treacheTous sand which rank growth

forth again. And into one Of these
Lieutenant Koaleski saw whole Rus
sian regiment sink, sink, sink-until
the sickening death dealing mire
closed over the last feeble gurgle Of
it's struggling victims.
" Forward Charge, 70 the as
saultn was the cry that rang down
our ranks" said Lieutenant Koaleslli.
THE Russians saw us coming and
for moment stood still, as If too
confused and perpleXed to move.
Then out rang their cry Of About face
and away they went.
But it was only for an instant.
For the next instant something strange
and unusual happened. From what
could be ascertained at the moment
the Russians who had been the first
to turn and run had stopped suddenly.
Perhaps it was for the purpose Of re-
organizing, perhaps for the purpose OF
opposing resistance.
"Yet, so burning were the Austrians
with the lust of the chase that they
barely preceived this strange fact,
They preceived only that they were
constantly and rapidly approaching
with every leap and bound to the
ranks of the Russians, and then in
an instant more they were all but
upon them.
A Strange Sight.
"Then It was that they perceived
that the Russians who had so sud-
denly stopped Themselves still kept

GRAND.

"High Jinks," the musical comedy
which Arthur Hammerstein will pre-.
sent at the Grand theatre Sunday,
January II, concerns itself with a
wonderful perfume that makes the
grave gay, the stupid clever, the sick
well and everybody in general, hilari-
Gus. The first scene is in DIR. Thorne's
flower garden near Paris, the second
at a French bathing resort in the fore
noon and the third at the same place
on a moonlit evening. The action is
not monopolized by one or two people,
but shared by a large cast, all Of whom
are given funny things to do. Nor
are there any vaudeville interpretations,
that favorite trick for bolstering up
musical shows that have not enough
life in their legitimate makeup TO
form an evenings entertainment They
are not needed in High Jinks." There
is a merry enough story in the plot,
and the musical numbers that fail nat
urally in with the action furnish
plenty Of variation Of the tuneful sort.

NEW YORK, Jan. l2.--Thoodore
" Z. Shouts. president Of the In
terborough Rapid Transit company
which operates the subway and ele-
waited lines Of New York city, to-
.gether with the officers and directors
OF the corporation, including August
Belmont and Cornelius Vanderbilt,
are accused OF culpable negligence
in a verdict returned late today by a
coroner's jury sitting in the inquest
into wreck on the Sixth avenue ele-
waited line in December, in which two
men were killed The jury deliber-
ated fifteen minutes, agreeing. unan-
imously on the first ballot, it was
said.
Coroner Patrick d. Riordan re-
fused to grant request by the COM
pany's lawyers that the verdict be
modified and ordered the men ac-
cused held to await the action OF the
grand jury fixing bail of $1,000.
The verdict set forth specific
charges dealing with equipment and
methods Of inspection, provision of
safeguards and extra crew men, one
charge read:
Failing to substitute relatively
fireproof cars for wooden cars on the
elevated railroad"
The men named with Mr.. Shonts,
Mr.. Belmont and Mr.. Vanderbilt in
the verdict were Frank Hedley, vice
president and general manager; Hor-
ace NJ. Fisher, secretary and the fol-
lowing directors Thomas Dewitt
Guyler, Edwin S. Marston, Edward
r.. Bacon, Edward j. Bevwind An
drew Freedman, Chas b. Ludlow, f.
De c. Sullivan and w. l.. Pepperman.
Coroner Riordan, in a long charge
to the jury, defined the charges of
murder and manslaughter. His words
elected protests from the cOmpany's
lawyers, who asserted the coroner
could not allege criminal act, but
only a civil offense. one of the at
torneys turned to the Jurors as they
were filing out to begin their delib-
erations, and told them to use their
own judgment regardless Of what the
coroner had said.

decide how to word the unpleasant
tidings. Through the door he could
see upon the kitchen table some pre-

delight in his peach preserves. He had
developed, in his lonely life, an unusual
knack for cooking.

A nation of cities is artificial. depend
ent upon the product of others.
Progress during the last half century
has been toward farm betterment.
What the farmer needed was to make
more profits and to have a moro varied
and attractive life. To these ends the
following agencies have worked:
The trolley car lines have spread rap
idly throughout the rural sections not
covered by railroads. Transportation
is the key to civilization. Electric
railway lines have done much to relieve
the isolation Of country life.
The automobile. At first plaything
of the rich, the motor car has been
cheapened and bettered until it has be-
come much utilized by farmers. The

crowded with gasoline machines where
once were horse-drawn vehicles.

boon to dwellers in far places.

vantages of the town dwelling.
The parcel post Is another instance
where government has been of assist
ance to the country people.
Agricultural colleges have actively
and freely aided the farmer to apply
science to labor, and have contributed
deal toward making the cultivation
of land pay.
University extension departments and
chautauqua circles have been Of help
In enriching Intellectual life in the
country.
Ancient civilization was all in cities;
even religion was centered there;
country people were called "pagans"
Modern civilization is realizing that
it must be folded back upon the land
or rot.
A banker farmer conference, the first
of its kind in the United States, was
recently held in Chicago. The organ
lied bankers addressed themselves to
the problems of better credit facilities,
better roads, better marketing and dis
tribution systems for farmers.

to show the farmers how to Improve

Her success has been remarkable.

Samuel Gage came into the kitchen
where his mother was peeling pota-
toes. "Well have new neighbors pretty
soon," he said, constrainedly; some
folks from the city are going to rent
the cottage-they're willing to pay
good stiff price for it, too"
His mother looked up with gasp.
"But-but SAM" she said. you can't
rent it. where'n your uncle go?"
Now, ma" protested Sam, irritated-
", you know 1 can't afford to keep
him any longer. He hasn't paid rent
for five years That's all right. I'm

He'd be worth something in the world,

His mothers hand dropped helplessly

she was looking out of the window. but
instead of the view her blurred vision
saw a vision of her eldest brother Ma
