took him to Plymouth. From there
he was sent to Helena, by order Of
the British government. He was
stripped of his imperial dignities, as
punishment for his escape from Elba
and thereafter was known not as the
Emperor Napoleon, but as General
Bonaparts.
Previous to this termination of the
Corsican's public career, the French
had used extra legal authority for
Kidding themselves of the Bourbon
monarchy. The National Convention
of the French Revolution, on Sep
TENDER goth, 1892, decreed the es-
adjustment of a republic. Louis
XVI, who lost his throne by this act,
fell under suspicion of conspiring to
estore the monarchy. A charge of
and he was brought to trial before
the convention, January 10th, 1898.
A majority vote alone of the conven-
ton was declared necessary to con-
Wet. On January goth, the conven-
ton voted 387 for acquittal. There
was no authority in French law for
this procedure, but that fact didn't
save Louis head, and he was gillo-
tined January 21st.
The English had greater Difficult
ties in evading the law before they
succeeded in beheading the last of
their abolutists, Charles |. Charles
had attempted to intimidate the
House of Commons into doing his
will by storming the halls, sacred to
the elected representatives., when
Cromwell's soldiers captured Charles
and called upon the Commons to pro-
coed against him, the sense of law
full procedure was too strong among
a majority Of the members for them
to act in so unprecedented case.
Thereupon the Cromwell farriors

'Pride's purge" They forcibly ex-

who were favorable to Charles.

only about SO in attendance. This
body was the famous trump parlia-

clared Charles guilty of treason.
The House of Lords refused to agree,
and the Commons resolved that the
right of legislation was a possession
of the Commoners alone. They also
declared they could make laws with
out the Kings consent.
Then the rump established high
court of justice comprising some $50
members to try Charles. The mon
arch announced he was above the
law, and asked for the authority of
his judges. He was told he was being
tried by the authority of the English
people who had elected him. Charles
retorted his title was hereditary, not
elective, and had been so for thou
sand years.
The eminent legal authorities of
England supported the Kings claim,
but the soldiers of Cromwell had no
interest in legal technicalities, though
may of the judges refused to go on
with the trial At the final session
only sixty two were present, They
unanimously declared Charles guilty.
Jurists down to the present day have
held the verdict illegal, but Charles

The only effort that has been made
in American history to remove the
chief executive was strictly legal. A
bill impeaching President Andrew
Johnson was passed by the House OF
Representatives and was sent to the
senate on March 4, 1868. The prin.
copal accusation was that johnson
had disobeyed the tenure of office

from office, without the senate's con.

GIVING YOURSELF A COLD DECK

If you have no loftier aim in life
than to be card player, your out
look is decidedly limited.
You are such an enthusiast at the
game that you have wasted months,
yes, years of time, and what has the
sport profted you?
You have studied out "plays," you
have lain awake long into the night
following an afternoon or evening
contest at cards, saying. nothing
about the many hours you have
delved in books for information upon
how to become shark at cards.
Well, there may be certain
amount of mind exercise and train
ing for memory and the understand
ing of motive in a good game of
cards, but would it not be possible
to get the same results in another
way which would add to your knowl-
edge something Of real worth?
To be sure there is recreation and
amusement in a card game, if it is
only allowed to occupy your atten-
ton while you are playing.
The card game which becomes an
obsession is slavery and handicap
to useful and more important
thoughts.
When you seek amusement, enjoy
it to the fullest extent, and then be
able to drop it at will, or it is en-
croaching on more essential things.

New Congress
Is Facing Many
Gigantic Tasks
BY L. c. MARTIN

4 Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Tasks
faced by the Goth congress, meeting
today in extraordinary session, threat
ed to match the tremendous duties
the war congress faced The war
congress, in the case of most war
measures, had definite thing to do,
and took the shortest cut to the goal.
The incoming congress, however,
has problems of peace to solve as
momentous as those of war, but with
out the urge of making every day
count for victory, or the patriotic in
centive to unity which the war fur
nished.
Here are the chief tasks before the
new congress;
Adoption of an army and navy
program on a peace basis, and appro-
priation of the money necessary to
NdIl LIiVHl INV ShVlt'
Solution of the railroad puzzle by
legislating for the future control of
the lines.
Settlements of the amounts to be
paid the telephone and telegraph
companies for the use of their lines
by the government during the emer-
gency.
Decision as to the future of the
merchant marine.
Legislation to aid business in get
ting back from war to peace ba-
sis
Legislation to enfore national pro
hibition.
Legislation demanded by labor.
Legislation to curb bolshevism.
This list includes only those things
which congress cannot escape cons
sidering. 1t does not include pas
sage of many appropriation bills
which promise to be fruitful of much
wrangling on that question of econ
omy. Nor does it include self-im-
posed tasks of which there are many
Among the latter are revision of
the internal revenue and tariff laws;
revision of the court martial system;
creation of a budget system (Which
however may be made an adminlstra-
ton measure and take it's place in
the category of inevitable tasks) !;
investigation of government officials
and agencies blamed by republicans
for war blunders; effort to make the
constitution or pass laws to prevent,
in future, the granting of broad
blanket powers to the executive de-
.partment, either in peace or war
time.
In addition there will be efforts to
epeal practically all the war meas
ures passed by the last congress, and,
according to indications, an unusual
number of freak" reconstruction
and reimbursement schemes, financial,
social and economic
Add to this the fact that the SEN
ate must consider and act upon the
peace treaty and league Of nations
covenant, and the further fact that
intense political rivalry will be in
evidence in both houses from start
to finish, and it will be evident why
Capitol hill observers are predicting
a long hot session which according
to some of them, may last until the
time for the national convention
rolls around in the summer of 1920.

TT HE house of Snow Shoe rabbits
i wasn't a regular house at all
but a sort of fairy house under the
bending branches of a hemlock tree.
There was light snow on the ground
and the green briMhes were covered
with snow and bent SO low that they
nearly touched the ground.
Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Coon and
Teddy Possum looked into the house.
4'hey lifted up the branches but no
sone was home.
y This was great disappointment,
but Peter Rabbit said he knew where
they were likely to be. Peter Rabbit
said they might be dancing.

of such thing in the morning. Pet
er is out of his head, or else they
are wild lot, as Mrs. Rabbit said
Well l am glad we came"
Little Peter led the way and they
followed very quietly. Soon they
came to an open place in the forest
and just as they came to it they
heard loud humping. 1t was sig
nal of danger when they heard this
sound. They felt sure that they were
coming to Peters relations for all
Rabbits make that sound when they
feel that danger is near.

could hardly believe their eyes. They
saw white whirling forms, and they
rubbed their eyes to make sure that
they could see straight.
They were always used to seeing
brown rabbits and here were snow
white ones whirling round and round
in circle.
Peter now seemed as bold as
lion and went right up to the biggest
rabbit and began to rub noses.
Soon Jimmy Coon and Teddy Pos

hardly remember their manners they
were so curious.
