The NEWS Office rather knocks
them all out on sale bills, horse
bills and fine job printing. We
would like to have the farmers CON-
pare our sale bills with those
printed at other offices. We not
only have the type aud material.
but we get in the artistic touches
cross roads printers do not possess.
There are lots of better printers
than we in the printing business
and some of them may be George
Washington's, but the farmer who
wants sale bill or jack diploma
does not care for patriotism, moral
ity or the sunbeam sort of christi
auity. He wants good, wholesome
artistic work in clear type, white
paper good ink and skillfully dis
played. And that's the sort of work
we do at the NEWS Office.

In no wise disconnected the shah
handed the letter to the officer on
guard and gave orders for the car
riage to start. The gates of the pal
ace were thrown open, and, as the
monarch emerged, a large crowd of
curious onlookers broke into cries of
''Vtve lie shah,'' and ''Vive Ia Perse.''
Hardly had these ordinations died
away when a man, dressed in the or
di12ary clothing of a Paris workman,
darted forward from between two au-
tOInobiles where he was hidden and
rushed toward the imperial carriage,
overthrowing a bicycle policeman,
who rolled under the feet of the
horses. In an instant he was on the
carriage step. Holding the door with
hia left hand, with his right he pushed
a revolver toward the breast of the
shah. He seemed to hesitate for

to aim. This hesitation saved the

cei"ed a letter, dated from Italy,
signed with an Italian name, but
posted in Paris, announcing to him
that he would be assassinated to-day.
The police believe that the man who
attacked the shah was not alone
in 5lis effort.

pressed regret that he had been I'M
able to carry out his intentions. He
said: ''This is an affair between me

tried to interrogate him, the pris-
oner said: your master will do
