much in the PoRpeiian style, and
there he gathers his friends for pri-
yate political consultations. He is an
unknown quantity in the politics of

him great influence and strength, and
this his enemies as strenuously deny.

work. 1t is fortunate forthe carrying
out of the republican system OF gov
ernment that somebody is always
to be found who will assume these
heavy burdens which make men grow
prematurely old and early line their
heads with gray hairs. The face of
the President of Mexico shows lines
of care, but his glance is firm, his eye
bright and his form is soldierly
erect. Once in while he take few
days of vacation, his favorite amuse-
ment being hunting. Take him all
around and il may be said that
he is a man of well-balanced
character, self-feliant, sure of himself
and firm of purpose to bring the
country forward. His policy seems
to be to push on without haste, but
without halt. A man of natural dig
