\ c 6 us tim oe HENRY TV AFFIXED HIS SIGNATURE T0 TOLERANCE EDICT First of Long Line Was Reared as Protestant, But Died as Roman Catholic SUCCEEDED VALOIS FAMILY Improved Internal Organization of France, Which Had Been Torn by Wars Editor's Note: This is the sec- ond in Milton Bronner’s series of five articles, telling the stories of members of the famous royal House of Bourbon in Europe, the monarchial rule of which has been ended by the exile of King Alfonso of Spain. * * * By MILTON BRONNER Henry IV, the first Bourbon king of France who ruled from 1589 to 1610, lived in an age of religious in- tolerance, marked by bitter fights be- tween the Catholics and the Protes- tant Huguenots, He had to fight for the throne, but as soon as he won it, he dis yed kingly skill in ruling the country. France prospered so that he is often referred to as Henry the Great. From the time of Henry until just tne other day, a direct descendant of the royal House of Bourbon had al- ways been on some European throne. ‘The royal rule of the Bourbons ended with King Alfonso XII of Spain leaving his throne. Henry was reared as a zealous Protestant vy his mother, then Queen of Navarre. As a young man, he was chosen chief of the Protestant army and so aroused the hostility of Catho- lies that he was marked for death in the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572. His life was spared on condition of professing himself a Catholic, For three years, he remained virtually @ prisoner at the French court, but in 1576, he escaped, made his way to @ camp of the Huguenots in Gascony, repudiated his enforced conversion and resumed command of his army. * * * ‘When Henry III died at the hands of an assassin in 1589, Henry the Great was the nearest lineal male de- scendant of the royal house of France. Previously, the House of Valois had been the throne, but now it was suc- ceeded by the House of Bourbon. Being e staunch Protestant and having been declared ineligible to the French crown by the Pope, a few years previous, Henry IV was un- popular with the great part of the na- tion, and the Dukes of Lorraine and Savoy and Philip Il of Spain were ready to dispute his claims to the throne. Some years previous, the Catholics had formed the Holy League, the secret purpose of which was to sup- port the Duke of Guise’s pretensions to the throne. Thus the cause of Protestant Henry seemed hopeless. He withdrew to Normandy in the hope of obtaining reinforcements for his army from England and Germany. His cause was helped by internal dissen- sions of the Holy League, which had proclaimed the aged Cardinal de Bourbon king and the Duke of May- enne as lieutenant general. Henry soon swung into aggressive warfare, capturing city after city. Affairs were reaching a crisis for the pretenders to the throne. At last the king besieged the important city of Dreux. Mayenne, to save the city, gave battle on the plains near Ivry. The Leaguers had 15,000 men, Henry only 8000. The opposing army even had cavalry and were much bet- ter armed. It looked hopeless for the first of the Bourbon rulers. But he Jeaped on his horse, rode swiftly be- fore his army and waved aloft his sword. “Hear ye, my friends,” he cried in ringing tones. “Keep your ranks in good order. If you lose your way —follow the white plume on my hel- met. On to greater glory!” He spurred his steed. A tremend- ous cheer went up. He charged the French and Wal- loon lancers. He dashed through the long lances. He fought furiously, hand to hand. His example inspired his men. At the end of two hours the Leaguers were in diso} ized re- treat. Covered with blood, the gallant king came out with only minor ‘wounds. * * * Despite his brilliant successes, Henry. still faced-a difficult task in conquering all the cities under the control of his enemies and was threatened by an invasion from Spain. It is probable he never would have won the throne, if he had not accept- od the advice of his friend, the Duke of Sully and formally professed him- self a Catholic on July 25, 1593. This ‘was followed by the surrender of most. of the important cities, including Paris, although the war with the League was not ended until 1596. Two years later peace was con- «luded_ with Spain and in the same year, Henry signed the famous Edict of Nantes which gave the Protestants STICKERS Henry IV, the first Bourbon king of was the last France ....

McKENNEY Secretary American Bridge League Our previous articles have described how to value no trump hands, but under the quantitative showing of tricks system a different valuation is used for suit bidding which will be shown in this and the next few ar- ticles, Original Suit Bids of One There is no exception to the rule that an original bid must always con- tain at least two quick tricks. For original suit bids of one, the addi- tional requirements are a biddable suit and four to five probable tricks. Biddable suits are rated in the fol- lowing manner: A four-card suit must be headed by at least ace, queen or king, queen. A five-card suit must be headed by at least ace, king, queen or king, jack. A five-card suit headed by queen, ten is considered a doubtful biddable suit, but occasionally it must be bid in preference to a no trump, espe ly if the hand holds sufficient high card strength and a void or singleton. Any six-card or longer suit, regard- less of what it is headed by, is con- sidered biddable. While first and second hands are only required to hold féur probable tricks including two quick tricks, third hand is required to have one-half quick trick more and fourth hand should not open the bidding unless he feels confident that he can prevent —A Series Explaining the Contract Bridge System— the opponents from going game if they enter the bidding on the second round, therefore the hand should con- tain cne quick trick more—or three quick tricks, The following examples will illus- trate orginal suit bids of one: (a) (B) S—10-1-4 S—A-K-5 H—A-K-9-5-2 H—A-Q-9-5 D—S-8-6 D—J-8-6 c—9-5 C—9-5-3 Hand A Holding this hand, first or second hand should open the bidding with one heart as the hand contains two high card tricks and two long cards, or low card tricks in the heart suit, but it should not be bid third or fourth hand. Supposing, however, that we were to substitute the king of diamonds for the jack of diamor.ds, then third hand would-be entitled to open the bidding with one heart as the hand now con- tains one-half quick trick more but fourth hand should pass. Hand B Hand B can be opened one heart in any position as the hand contains three and one-half high card tricks and the required number of probable tricks. In addition, there is not much danger of the opponents going game in either hearts or spades with this type of holding.

They were accompanied by Phra Noraraj, the king’s chamberlain. For the time being Ophir hall has become the real capital of Siam: The king has set up offices, his minister has e desk near at hand and his aides and secretaries are installed. Already @ vast amount of clerical work has descended on the party.

D., April 24.—Thir- teen miles of the county road between McClusky and Lincoln Valley will be regraveled soon, according to a deci~ sion reached by the Sheridan county board of commissioners. The road from McClusky to the Adventist church will be regraveled, and the three and three-fourths miles of road from the church corner to Lincoln Valley also will be gravel surfaced. Two other graveling projects were sanctioned by the commissioners. ‘These are surfacing 12 blocks,in the village of Martin and 1% miles of the road north of Martin. Five county road outfits, including two Caterpillar tractors and three other tractors, are being used to main- tain county roads. Hundreds of miles of county road have been dragged this spring and mail carriers report their routes in good shape. In order to continue its road work during 1931 and also pay off a $12,000 indebtedness, Sheridan county must float bonds in the amount of $15,000, the commissioners decided. The county has outstanding $12,000 in certificates of indebtedness which draw seven per cent interest, and al- 80 owes $3,000 on road machinery.

Because of their rapid growth and wide variation of form and color they are favorites in newly made gardens. Annuals divide into two groups ac- cording to planting times. One group is hardy and seeds can be grown as soon as the soil is dried out enough to spade. The second group of annuals are tender, and these should not be sawn out of doors until after the soil has warmed up and the maple trees are well in leaf. ‘ To hasten their development both the hardy and tender annuals are! frequently started indoors—or in a hotbed or coldframe—and protected until it is safe to transplant them in- to the garden.
