Bronze Very Ancient.

Bronze, spoken of in the Bible as brass.
is Of very ancient origin. We have little
or no notion how tho ancients got cop
per, but in all probability large quanti-
ties were formerly found in the metallic
state, just rs we find 1t now in the neigh
borhood Of Lake Superior in America
and Baikal lake in Siberia. This would
only have required melting to yield a
tolerably pure metal II, however, they
smelted copper from its various ores. IL
is difficult TO rTallze how they could
overcome such complicated process,
and we can only admit that in this re.
spect. as in so many others, the ancient
people Of Europe were very much cleverer
than we moderns are apt to believe

A Cowardly Assassination.

Louis d. McWhorter, one of the most
prominent Democratic politicians of
Fresno, Cal, was foully assassinated by
unknown men. The crime was the
climax of a bitter political fight which
has been waged for months and there
is no question that some of McWhor-
ter's enemies hired the assassins TO kill
him. McWhorter was aroused about
o'clock by noise outside his house.
His wife, who feared for his life, per-
suaded him not to investigate, but the
noises continued and he could not be
restrained. He partly dressed himself
and went out, pistol in hand. mo-
ment later there was fusilade of shots
and when the wife rushed out, she
found her husband lying on the ground
with bullet through his left breast.
What happened can only be inferred,
as the wounded man did not speak, bat
died in 90 minutes. lie had fired six
shots and near where he fell lay "A PTS
tol, of which three chambers were
empty, together with a mask and two
small orangewood clubs
