orders for the carriage to start. The
gates of the palace were thrown open,
and as the monarch emerged large
crowd of curious onlookers broke into
cries of ''Vive lie shah!" and "Vive la

The Attack.
Hardly had these exclamations died
away when man dressed in the or
dinary clothing of n Pars workman
darted forward from between two au-
tomobiles where he was hidden and
rushed toward the imperial carriage,
.overthrowing bicycle policeman, who
rolled under the feet of the horses. In
an instant he was on the carriage
step. Holding the door with his left
hand, with his right he pushed re-
volver toward the breast of the shah.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment,
as though undecided where to aim.
This hesitation saved the Persian mon
arch's life, for before the wouldbe
assassin could pull the trigger a
strong hand grasped his wrist and
wrenched it so that the weapon
dropped harmlessly to the bottom of
the landau. "I'i like to have n pho
tograph of that man." nonchalantly
exclaimed the shah. Then addressing
few words in his native tongue to
his companions in the carriage, he
told the coachman to drive on. Seated
in the landau with the shah at the
time the assault was made were the
grand vizier, the personal physician
of the monarch and Gen. Parent, his
personal aid
When the police seized the man he
tried to break away and cried: "Vivre!
children! people!"
An officer tried to stop him, but he
shouted: ITO my assistance. friends"
Then he quieted down and submitted.
When the knife was found on his per-
son an officer remarked: "You also
had knife" to which the man replied:
ayes; took some precaution."
'Why did you attempt to assassinate
the shah?" the officer asked. 'Be'
cause" was the reply, sit pleased me
That does not concern YOU"
To all other questions the prisone,
remained dumb.
Up to midnight nothing regarding
the would-be assassin or his connec'
tions had been learned that was not
known within half an hour after his
arrest. He maintains absolute silence
The Warning Letter.

The paragraph to be inserted Is as fol-

perilous to the spiritual life and IN 1Ience

deem It wiss to re-affirm our historic at
titude upon this subject and urge our
people to abstain from and bear their un-
wavsring testimony against all amuse-
ments and diversions which endanger
Christian life and repress the spiritual
powers OF the church. This advice must
