was attended only by two Frenchmen,
M. Siquier, his aide-de-camp, and M.
Magret, the engineer in charge Of the
siege. Charles complained to Megret
that the parallel was not as far adj
vanced as he expected. Megret replied,
THE city will be taken in eight days"
We'll. we shall see," said Charles,
stepping over to a point where the
trenches formed an angle with the par
allel
He knelt, resting an elbow on the
parapet. and with his body half exposed,
watched the men who were carrying on
in the trenches by starlight.
A battery of cannon opposite was
pointed directly at the angle. It sud-
denly discharged grapeshot. A little
way OF, Siquier and Megret saw Charles
collapse upon the parapet with q deep
sigh. They ran to his aid. but he al
ready was dead. A ball Of half pound
had made a hole in his right temple
sufficient to admit three fingers.
Though he had died instantly, he in
stinctively had grasped the hilt of his
sword.
Megret and Siquier looked at him,
awestruck. Megret was first to speak.
Come" he said, "the play is ended; let
us 60 to supper"
The Prince Of Hesse took the neces-
sary measures to put his wife, Charles
sister, on the throne. The war was
ended. The Swedes, tired Of a warrior
king, wanted peace.

That man of iron and steel, Charles
XII Of Sweden, met q violent death,
but q commonplace one. It was not at
all in keeping with his spectacular
career.
He set of in October, 1918, on an ex-
petition against Norway, hoping to
make himself master of the country in
six months. It was mission of ven
gence against formerly victorious foe.
In December, in p land locked in ice
and snow, he laid siege to Fredericks-
hold. It was so cold that his benumbed
soldiers scarcely could break the ground
for trenches. They would have MUIR
INJURED If they had not witnessed their
king sharing all their hardships.
He was as hard as rock. Some of his
soldiers died of cold, but. he was able
to sleep Soundly in an open field in the
midst of Winter, covered only by his
cloak.
For 10 years he had studied every
means of inuring himself to hardship.
Now he heard of a woman in Scania,
called Johns Dotter, who had lived sew
eral months without any nourishment
except water. He decided to try a lit
tie Of her program.
For five whole days he neither ate
nor drank. On the morning of the
sixth he rode 2 leagues, and then, ar
irving at the tent of his brother-in-law,
the Prince of HeSse, he entered and ate
hearty breakfast. Neither his fast nor
his full meal affected him in the
slightest.

BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 3, 1Se5.-Benjamin q. Harris,
Representative In Congress from South
ern Maryland, was released from the
Old Capitol Prison here by order Of
President johnson. He was convicted
a few days ago Of violating the articles
Of war against harboring paroled
soldiers Of Gen. Lees army and urging
them to return South, thus violating
their military oath.
tary tribunal and sentenced to three
years imprisonment. The evidence
also showed that Mr.. Harris had re-
fused to take the oath Of allegiance
to the United States.
It also showed that he urged the
paroled prisoners after returning to the
South to take lip arms against the
United States and rejoin the Con-
federate Army. In its sentence, the
court had disqualified them from using
arms against the United States.
The United States attorney told the
court that the President desired the
release of the prisoner.
1t appears that President johnson
has had some new light on this case
since the courts sentence, or that the
President Is following the policy laid
down by the late President Lincoln, and
Is determined to treat the Southern
people leniently and even according to
the strict letter of the military law,
now that the war between the States
is over and time is healing the terrible
wounds as quickly as possible.
Already Mr.. johnson has been criti-
cized by the radicals, as they are will
ing to be called, "the black Republic
ans" in Congress, not because they are
black, but because they would treat the
black men as the equals of the whites.
The Eastern troops of Gen. Sher-
mans command have been ordered
here by the War Department. Their
terms have expired and they are to be
released before the 1st of october, to
be paid OF. They will be transported
by the Government to their homes
Phis is by order Of Secretary of War
Stanton.
All members Of the cabinet were
present at the meeting today. Secre-
tary of State Seward was among the
number, much to the surprise and
pleasure of his colleagues. He had suf-
f1ciently recovered from the wound in
f1icted by wouldbe assassin who
attempted to stab him on the same
night that President Lincoln was
aSsassinated, to go out q few hours a
day.
jefferson Davis, President of the late
Confederate States of America, who Is
a prisoner in Fortress Monroe, Va,
may be brought to Washington and
tried for treason against the United
States Government. That course is
being urged by the radical, or "black, -
Republicans, as described above, but
there is no certainty that this course
will be followed. So far, President
johnson seems to desire to follow the
late President Lincoln and conciliate
the Southern people as much as posi-
ble-"bring them back into the fold
from which they were never in reality

Always Useful Egg.

Out of the many varied uses of the
homely and inexpensive egg shall list
three today for the benefit of the beauty
seeker. One is for the complexion,
particularly for wrinkles and sagging
muscles, one Is to make the scalp
healthier. last of all Is q method for
waving the hair.
We might take the hair first. Take
two eggs, separate the yolks and the
whites. An hour before you intend to
shampoo your hair rub the egg yolks
on the scalp, parting the hair at fire.
quent intervals and rubbing the egg
yolk along each parting. Spread it over
the scalp with the fingers, and let the
whole scalp be well covered. If 1t goes
on the hair as well, so much the better
Indeed. If you have a generous amount
of yolk from your two eggs, see that
all the hair is coated with it. And let
it dry on. Then rinse on with warmish
water, shampoo as usual with liquid
CASTLE soap and rinse. This takes dirt,
grease and scurf from the scalp, and
This makes the hair marvelously glossy
when 1t dries.
Now you have two egg whites left
One Is for q face mask, the other you
can use for lotion to wave and set the
hair. AS a setting lotion take some of
the egg white, roughly about half Of it,
put it in a glass measuring cup. You
can tell accurately its amount. Add
three to four times that amount Of
water. When your hair is partly dry,
wet a sponge with this lotion, rub over
the hair, press into waves.
AS O face mask, first rub the skin
with the cleansing cream, remove with
hot wet cloth, coat the face thickly
with the other egg white, lie down and
relax completely for 40 minutes while
1t dries. This relaxing is most inpor-
tar1t. Wash OF with warm water, and II
the skin feels dry rub with O tiny bit Of
cold cream before you powder. This

the character of the room and the

must complete the other articles in

WHITE, BLACK FELT HATS LIKED

felts with their perky wee bows of
black fur or black ribbon, or dash

It is not that the white felt hat
itself is so unusual but the fact Of
wearing it in late fall or midwinter
gives it new accent. With the smart
daytime black crepe frock trimmed
with white, fashion says to wear a
white felt hat and be modern.

Classy" There should be note of
black somewhere, however, perhaps a
black velvet bow here and there or
black fabric-like fur made up with
white fur.
The theme Of the white felt hat be-
comes all the more arresting in that
it features the very latest shapes such
as for instance the tricorne and sim
liar types whose brims rise upright
from the forehead like the smart mod
ell in the oval below in the picture.
Its black-and-white feather trim at one
side gives it dashing style, such as
indicates new trend.
In the other oval is a white felt
which boasts the unbalanced brim sill
houette about which we are hearing
and seeing so much this season. In
sets Of black galyak fur give it an
air Of distinction.
The other hats sketched are indi-
vidualized with novel trimming
touches in black. At the top to the
left black velvet ribbon ties effective
ly at the back of bonnet-like shape
styled of white felt which is as soft
as handkerchief. The next hat
