Nine. Loubet.

The mother of President LOubet, who
died recently at the age of ninety-one
years, was woman Of, type to be
met with nowhere outside of France.
She came of that country stock, to be
perfectly candid, that peasant stock,
which is the backbone Of the republic,
and she never pretended to be any
thing but what she was. Even after
her son became President of France
she could not be induced to pay visit
to Paris.
OF course she was proud Of M. Lou.
bets success, but it is said that her
first remark after she learned that he
was President was: II shall see him
less than ever now" In this, however,
she was mistaken. NJ. Loubet con-
tinued to be frequent visitor to the
little farm at Marsanne where he was
born, and which, after her SONS became
successful men, Nine. LOubet looked
after alone. She always refused to in.
trust the management Of the farm to
anyone else, and remained vigorous
in brain and body almost to her dying
day. When her sons visited her she
made them help in the work. When
Emile Loubet went to Marsanne soon
after he had been elected President,
her first words, after she had greeted
him, were:
Come on. Emile, want you to do
something. I am too old to knead the
bread, but never let anyone else bake
it; you must help me in the job"
The President thereupon took off his
coat and went obediently to work.
