QUEEN MONSTER OF CRUELTY
Fredeuonde, Wife Of French King.

band Chllperlc from 50s to 597. She
came from an obscure Plcardy family,
and secured the notice of the king by
taking service as common servant
at the court. Her beauty was so great
she won his heart, and he sent his
queen to prison for life, and raised
Fredegonde to high rank. He married
Spanish princess, and Fredegonde
caused her to be strangled In her bed.
The brother-in-law Of the princess et.
tempted revenge, was stabbed by
Fredegondes hlrelings, and then she
brought about the assassination of the
kings three sons by his former wife.
Ten young people In all died OF her
compand or at her own hand, and she
was not above an attempt to murder
her own child, Regunthe, a beautiful
maiden Of whom Fredegonde became
Jealous. She took the girl to her
treasure chest and told her to play
with the jewels. As the child stopped
over the chest the queen slammed
down the great lid and only aid from
chance passers saved the life of the
child.

ference to Hank,

There is an old New England squire
whose knowledge Of the statute law Is
limited, but who has decided views as
to common justice. Not long ago a
certain Hank Miller was brought be-
fore him, charged with larceny. II ap-
peared from the evidence that Hank;
had rented horse from farmer to
do some hauling and that, during the
period the animal had remained in his
possession, he had fed II from the own
er's stock OF grain, although the agree
ment was that Hank himself should
supply the feed. He was charged by
the farmer, therefore, with the theft
Of two bushels Of oats and corn.
"The statutes made and provided"
the old squire announced ponderously,
"say that theft is to convert to your
own use the property Of another. The
horse Is the servant of the owner, not
Of Hank, and Hank converted them
oats TO the horses use, not hls--so |
acquit Hank of stealln' them Qats-he
amt guilty Of larceny"
Hank rose, thanked the squire and
was about to leave the room, when the
old man called him back.
"As ! said, Hank" he remarked,
with CLEAN of humor in his eye, 'you
amt guilty Of larceny, but you shore
air guilty of something, and I'm goln'
