PRESIDENT OF POLAND K!Ll|D First' President Fired Upon By Man - Regarded as Maniac. Warsaw, Dee. / 10. ? Gabriel Nara tulowiez, first president of the Polish republic, fell before an assassin's bullet at noon to<ltty, just ono week after fill election and only 48 hours after actually taking up tho' duties of office. The tragedy occurred at an exhi bition of paintings and the Asssfsin was ah artist, ono Niewadomski, long regl rded by his associates as mental ly deranged. r. The president had just concluded a brief address and accompanied by his aide de camp and two of the mem bers of hi^ cabinet, was entering the first hall of the exhibition to view the paintings when Niewadomski joined the throng eagerly pressing about the chief exeeutivo to shake his hand. * Instead of stopping in front of M. Narutowioz, however, the assassjn circled the crowd to a position in the rear. Then, working his way so close to his victim that there was no chance of missing, he drew a revolver and fired three times, all the bullets piercing the president's back. Truck Hacks Over Man.

All the editor has to do is to sit at his desk six 4?ys a week, four weeks a month, and 12 months a year and edit such stuff as this: "Mrs. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let a can-opener slip last week and cut herself in the pantry. While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from the church social last Saturday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green in the public square. Mr. Fain, while harnessing, a broncho last Saturday, was kicked just south of his corn crib. Printing is Difficult Work. The business man who buys print ing does not mean to be inconsider ate, but he cannot help fueling a lit tle superior to the printer ? until you enlighten him. He has heard of "printers' errors" and "printers' delays" all his life, not realizing there is no other busi ness in which precaution against er ror is so systematized nor one in which rapid deliveries are made under more difficult conditions. All this is done in a mechanical process that is, at the same time, a fine art ? one that is subject to dif ficulties imposed by the customer's copy, the customers' supervision, the customers' frequent disorganized aft er-thoughts and changes. Small Paper Next Week. In order that The Chronicle U rte may be able to enjoy tho Christmas holidays Tho Chronicle will come to its readers on Friday, December 29th, in a four-page form.
