fired a charge of buckshot into worley's
side. The man fell fatally wounded,
but in order to make sure of his work
the assassin seems to have deliberately

perpetrator. and the manner OF the
assassination can only be surmised from
the conditions found.
The report OF a gun was heard at

the color that -four will give to bread
can best be sscertained by placing a
flattened ball of dough made therefrom
on piece of colorless window glass
and allowing it to stand twenty -four
hours. By then looking at the bottom
of the ball of dough through the glass
on which it rests, the exact color will
be seen. This is the test given by the
Commissary Department OF the army
to officers whose duties are to buy
-four which is to be used by the army.
1t is perfect in its character, and is so
simple that he or she who runs can
read it. Personally, I do not care
much about the color of bread, but
many do, and these aesthetic tastes
have to be gratided. When flour
makes pretty bread it always does so
at the expense of other things, and
many of the best qualities of the wheat
are taken from it, Of the things that
make bone and muscle, SO that pretty
bread is not exactly the best for food
alter all. Washington Star.
