Geneva, Jan. 15.-Two thousand
persons have been killed at Przemysl,
.Galicia, by the Ukrainians, according
to a dispatch received here. The
Ukrainians have been bombarding
Przemysl for several days past by
land and air, and conditions in the
town are described as terrible. The
gas and electric plants have been de-
stroyed and there is no light in the
town. Water and foo, are also lack
ing. The Bolshevist government in
Petrograd has telegraphed an ulti-
matum to the Swiss federal authori-
ties, saying that unless thirty Boil
shevists, who were arrested and i'm
prisoned in the fortress of Savantan,
in the. canton of Valais, are released
before February 1, thirty Swiss citi-
zens in Petrograd will be shot with
out trial. There is great indigna-
tion here over the situation.
The Bolshevist movement seems to
be spreading in the Rhine towns and
in North Switzerland, where Madame
Balonova, Russian who recently was
expelled, has returned secretly with
several million rubles for the carry
ing out of Bolshevist propaganda. The
police are searching for her.

Power Of ideals.

1t is hardly possible to estimate the
power Of ideals in human life. am
disposed to think there Is no one who
does not have his ideals. conscious or
unconscious. Some there may be who
are not clearly aware that they possess
them, just as We all breathe and do
many other things which we are not
conscious Of. But I am disposed to
think that absolutely every human
being really does have, hung on the
walls OF that room of his mind where
dwells the wonderful faculty which We
call the Imagination. pictures. dim or
clear, of what seems to him the most
desirable kind OF life--pictures of per.

ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Signs Reveal Something. but Fact Re
mains That We All Have to
Take q Chance.

No man Is ever really In love who
can say so with all the ease. ardOr and
eclat of stage lover. No man ever
loved woman just because she was
good. The man who says pretty things
to his wife all the time may have had
lots Of practice either before or since
his marriage.
The husband who never gives his
wife decent word or a compliment
would knock down any other man who
would treat her In the same way.
The sincerest lovers are those who
are tongue-tied. and don't know where
to put their feet.
man who seems very stupid In a
crowd can often be extremely interest
ing in dimly-lit. cozy corner with only
one other person present.
There are two kinds of courage
the courage of the limelight, which
prompts a nice young man in white
ducks to jump overheard after a girls
handkerchief. and the real courage
that makes man face the horrors of
a fashionable wedding. the torture Of
meeting the bills of housekeeping
apartment, and the agonies Of walking
the floor all night with a baby. The
two are seldom coupled In one young
man.
The first wife Of a widower never
was such an angel as she seems to him
after his second marriage.

Etiquette of Snuff Takino.

The taking of snuff, which was in
dispensable to its period, has died out.
The taking of snuff had peculiar
etiquette. A pinch pointed an epi-
gram; 1t symbolized Indifference, con-
tempt and, on the other hand, the box
extended In friendly manner. ex-
pressed admiration, desire for bet
ter acquaintance. The box was a
refuge from idle questioners. A
vigorous rap on the closed box put an
end to argument.
The box itself was work of art.
1t was adorned with precious stones,
or paintings, or quaint notices.
When a monarch wished to show his
appreciation Of . musician, artist,
poet. he presented him with gold
snuff box filled with louis dor, When
the practice was at Its height. an Earl
Stanhope reckoned that II man took

GOLDEN HOURS NEVER FOUND
Stories Of Vast Wealth Hidden in
West Indies May Be Merely
Romantic Tales.

The British West Indies may not
be worth much in money, but they are
rich in money tradition. 1t was the
lure Of these islands that brought
the avaricious gold hunters Of Column
bus, way across the seas in search Of
the tabled wealth of the western isles.
1t was here that the brave British
admirals went to "singe the king Of
Spain's beard"
Stories of sunken money-ships and
buried treasures in and around the
Islands are numerous. Capt. Kidd,
Morgan and many other famous buc-
cancers made the islands their rendez-
vous. Sir Walter Raleigh went there
and so did the Ill fated Darien.
In later years the islands were
fought over by the Spanish. British.
Dutch and French. The latter were
supposed to be very rich, but when
the British drove them from the is
land they were unable to fnd the
hidden gold.
An old negress once told story
that renewed interest In this faDled
French wealth. An old man ap-
preached her, she said. and asked di-
rectIons to the grave of her mistress
youngest child. She told him and the
man dug up the coffin. He opened
1t and took out three of four hand
fuls of jewels. He disappeared. after
saying that he was n grandson of one
of the old French pirates, who had
concealed the Jewels.
