Just how Fredegonde obtained this

an unhappy day for both Andovere and
Chilperic when she made her appear
ance at court.
Her beauty was so notable that it

it, she had brains of a subtle, crafty
sort. She was ambitious and she was

She soon caught the fancy of Chill
peric. Her arts so entangled him that
he banished Andovere to a convent.
Chilperic wasn't quite ready to lift
Fredegonde to the throne and so he
now married Galsuinthe, daughter of
the king of the Visigoths That was
too bad for GalSuinthe. Fredegonde
had her strangled to death in her bed.
Chilperic concluded to make the
former peasant girl his queen!
Chilperic and his brother, Sigebert.
king of Austrasis, fell out and went 20
war. Sigebert was winning when
Fredegone hired two assassins who sue
ceeded IN getting into his tent and
killing him. Chilperic won the war.

a career of murder and assassination.
Her next step was to incite Chilperic's
son by his first wife, young Meroyee, 70

Chilperic had another son by his first
wife, Clovis. Three of her own children
having died Fredegonde accused Clovis
OF sorcery and brought about his death.
Fredegonde's purpose was to get rid
OF all claimants to the throne except
herself and her descendants. To COM
plete the job she had the former Queen
Andovere strangled in her convent and
then procured the stabbing of King
Chilperic.
At this time the ruthless Queen had
only one child. an infant a few months
old, named Clotaire. Thenceforth until
her death she reigned alone, an iron-
willed, crafty individual, who rode
down every plot that was made against
her.
Her son, Clotaire II, succeeded her.
He was as cruel and ruthless as his
mother.
However, you had to be cunning,
cruel and ruthless to hold down d
throne In those days.

The hardest part of going to bed is

The best time to tawk without being

even lissening. The ony person that
jumps up wider awake than when they
went to bed is dog.
Everybody in your family sleeps all
Sunday morning and then wawks
around the house looking like people

Nobody looks very intelligent the

OUR CHILDREN
ny ANGELO PATRH.


Boys and girls are really very patient
with us on the whole. The great host
Of children try to do as nearly right
as they know how. When they are
asked to do something, instructed how
to do it, they do their best. 1t is
natural that they think they have con-
formed to the set standard because the
idea they had in mind was the correct
one. The performance fell short only
because Of the inadequate power of
the nerves and muscles in question. In
short, the children lack experience
and practice and so cannot reach per-
lection in a short time. Certainly not
at the first trial Give them time.
praise them for their efforts. Point
out their deficiencies in friendly help
full fashion and they will redouble their
efforts. Be sweetly reasonable.
Don't grow impatient because a child
messeS up q job. OF course you told
him how to do it. You told him again
and again and he heard you. He even
answered you. He made assurance
doubly sure and repeated your direc-
tons clearly. Then he made mistake
after mistake. That is due to his lack
of experience, lack of practice In the
right way. Give him chance to learn
by repetition, by continued repetition
and he will do as well as you could
wish.
Now and then a child oppressed by
the kindly vigilance of his mother ap-
peals to me. This happens so seldom
that know the case must be pressing
indeed to force the child to write to me
for help A boy did so recently asking
plaintively If I thought 20 minutes too
much for him to devote to dressing in
the morning. washing combing hair,
washing teeth, spraying nose, cleaning
nails, and the like. Was 20 minutes
too much?
OF course not. The boy who can
dress in 20 minutes and groom himself
as thoroughly rs an adolescent boy
should be groomed in the morning is
doing unusually well. 1t Is necessary
to use plenty Of soap mad warm water
to do thoroughly every little bit of work
entailed in a complete morning toilet.
That requires time and practice. I'm
called-for haste upsets the boys mind.
1t destroys his rhythm. consequently
makes him uncomfortable, uneasy and
uncertain. That will make him 1rrita-
BILE and of course that spoils his work
for the day. A bad start lowers the
quality of the work.
It is necessary to teach children to
work well within q time hint. Daw-
ding is o wasteful, annoying, mihchiev-
Gus habit. But in trying to establish
the right habit Of promptness one must
guard against the extreme. Too much
pressure makes a child nervous, I'M
certain, and he loses poise.
Unless we can help q child to con-
siStent, steady, accurate work well
within his time limit we might better
leave him alone What we must strive
to do is to discover his natural rhythm
and train him to work in accordance
with it. Not haste. not waste, but rea-
sonable effort to use time WELL Let lis
be reasonable in all things.

Fredegonde, the peasant girl who
became queen, belongs to the Nero
vigian epoch in French history She
proved IL centuries ago that there are
no limits to the heights to which a
working girl can rise if she is beauti-
iuI and-more than little unScrupu-
louS.
Fredegonde. it must be confessed,
was a bad egg. About the only excuse
that can be used was that she lived
in a rude and cruel age when men and
women heSitated at no misdeeds to
obtain their ends.
About all We know of her girlhood
Is that she was the daughter of poor
peasants living in the neighborhood of
Montdidier in Picardy. However she

Finding Hats That Are Becoming

woman who can don a hat Of a new

ately whether 1t is or Is not becoming.
We are too much preoccupied with its

To many women hats that leave the
forehead uncovered or unshaded are
unbecoming. and for these women the
milliners have made all sorts of hats
with narrow brims and front drapery.

make interesting artificial flowers from
narrow ribbon, fine wire, embroidery

It is not surprising that when the new
hats for the Spring of 1880 are dis
cussed some women will pronounce them
the most becoming they have ever seen,
while just as many women will hold the
opposite opinion.
If you are one Of the disgruntled
ones, let me remind you that if you
look long enough and with your eyes
wide open you Will surely find a type
of hat that is becoming, because not for
years has there been such wide va
riety in shape and draping as this
season.
Remember, too. that your objection
may not be based on the fact that the
new hats are unbecoming, but on the
fact that you are not so open-nlinded

CONSTIPATION IS
A HEALTH Thief
Drive It from Your System
with Kellogg's ALL-BRAN

Constipation steals the best out
Of your life. Robs you Of strength,
vitality, health itself! And many
people do not realize that perpetual
fatigue, coated tongues, bad breath,
are often signs that constipation is
in their system.
You must move poisonous wastes
out Of your system and keep them
moving. But there's a right way
and a wrong way. Pills, drugs and
ordinary cathartics give but tenn
porary relief-and their dose must be
constantly increased to be effective.
The great natural cleanser is
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. A tasty
cereal, which brings you iron for
blood building-and, above all, cor
reefs constipation. The abundant
roughage in ALL-BRAN gently
and naturally sweeps out poisonous
wastes and impurities.
Physicians recommend ALL.
BRAN. It's guaranteed. Two table
spoonfuls daily. Recurring cases
with every meal. Remember that
Kellogg's is the original ALL
BRAN - the product that millions
have proved effective.
You'll like the nut-like flavor of
ALL-BRAN. Eat it in many ways.
Delicious with milk or cream -
fruits or honey added. Make mullins
with it. At all grocers. Served in
hotels, restaurants, dining-cars.
