when NJ. Fallieres stopped him and told
the lawyer to keep to the question Of the

a blow. Thank you. You have condemned
the government twelve times, and thank
you twelve times. do not want to benefit
by the Berenger law. If there were street
demonstrations tomorrow / would take

M. Deroulede was listened to in profound
silence, but his passionate utterances

"a bas Loubet' from the audience after
the sentences were pronounced, but the

anti-Semites are shown by the sensational

| took himself as a youth to the Latin quar-
| ter, where he had the good fortune to be
blessed with the company OF Gambetta.
1t was here the war of 1870 found him, and
he at once went to the front as a soldier of
France. His younger brother. Andre. then
| lad of seventeen. joined the brave Paul
| in the army and was shot through the
breast in his very first engagement. Nine.
Deroulede accompanied her younger son to
the camp, and as the regiment marched
away she cried out. Courage. my sonst'
to which cheering farewell they returned.
| Courage. our mother!"
| Andre fell at Sedan and Paul was taken
prisoner The suffering he passed through
for France every Frenchman well knows.
He was imprisoned in Breslau, but made
