Fallieres Of France an Athlete


He is about 65 years Of age, the picture
of health, hale and hearty, thoughtful
and wise. His father was a blacksmith
and one-horse farmer, but his appetite
and muscles were more prominent than
his business qualities, it is said, and
whenever his wife warns him to take
better care of mis- digestive apparatus
Fallieres says; "Pshaw, father once ate
q sausage as long as the Gelise is broad"
The Gelise is little river skirting the
Presidents native village. And as to
drinking: "At our winners festivals,
father used to take ten.gallon cask in
his arm and drank out of the spigot. It
was 80 much easier"
Other members Of the family, too, were
famous for their bellies and muscles.
Uncle Jean was the village blacksmith
and made q speciality of tanning wild
horses that were brought to him from all
over the province. Before the animal
knew it, Uncle Jean had hold of one of
his feet and held it in an iron grasp.
"Now kick if you can," he used to say,
and proceeded to hold on until the brute
was thoroughly tame.
Young Fallieres was the reverse of a
good scholar. He fell through more ex-
aminations than he passed, and never
passed with flying colors." He was Is
before he entered the Paris college, and
then devoted himself more to the grizette
and wine shops than to law. Thoroughly
disguised, papa took him away from
Paris and sent him to Toulouse to con.
tinue his studies. AT Toulouse, in or.

Cured under President There (l87l to
1879 will not happen in the Elysee
while Fallieres rules. Madame Theirs
was as penurious as her husband was
liberal with his money. One day at
luncheon the President espied some very
fine peaches on the centerpiece of the
table, and turned to his neighbor, the
Times correspondent, Blowitz, asking
him to have one.
'The peaches are intended for dinner"
said Madame Theirs sharply. The Pres
ident selected the best one for himself,
another one for Blowitz and rolled
third across the table to his secretary.
Il am quite sure they won't give us in

his wife.
Royalist politicians, such as Boni
Castlellane, like to assert that the Pres
ident of the French republic, like the
Postmaster General OF the United States,
has nothing to do but to sign papers.
This is stupid falsehood. Above all it is
his duty to cooperate with Senate and
Chambers in legislation and to see that
the laws are carried out. He has the
right of pardon in all civil and military
matters, is like Roosevelt, supreme COM
mander on land and sea, and dominates
all military and civil officers.
He represents France to the foreign
powers, exchanges visits with sovereigns
and foreign ambassadors and ministers
are accredited to him personally.
His salary is $4,000 per month, and
the Government pays for the mainte-
nance of the Elysee and the various sum-
mer houses and palaces at the Presi-
dents disposal. There have been various
attempts by Paris tailors to impose a
uniform on the President of the repub-
lie, and the unhappy Faure had the
weakness to accept one modelled after the
style of the state dress worn by the
Presidents of negro republics. But be-
fore he could don it some illustrated pa

sides with laughter, and the French Pres

tails ever since. Loubet's and Fallieres'
swallow tail architect, by the way, is a
gentleman who also built the same kind
OF clothes for Napoleon the Third.
Not even the Kaiser has as big q
bodyguard as the President of the French
republic-a whole battalion of infantry
fife and drum corps and flag drawn
up in line every time he leaves or ar.
rives at the palace. On festive occasions
his carriage is escorted by squadron
OF cuirassiers. A general of division is
the head of the military household, and
