FRENCH ELECTION.
M. Fallieries Chosen President by
Senate and Deputies.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE national as
sembly met at 10 o'clock this after
noon in Congress Hall, Royal Palace,
at Versailles, for the election of
president of the republic The assem-
bly, consists nominally of 591 deputies
and 300 senators, but owing to death,
illness and the passage of some dep
uties to the senate leaving seats va
cant, the number present was de-
creased to about $50, making 431
votes necessary to elect.
The greatest interest was manifes-
ted in the proceedings, which, how
ever, were very prolonged. The mem
bers of the assembly voted in alpha
betical order. Those waiting their
turn discussed excitedly the pros
poets of their favorites.
Although several candidates were
mentioned for the presidency in sue
cession to M. Loubet, including NJ
Fallieries, President of the Sena-e,
M. Doumer, President of tire Cham
ber of Deputies, NJ. Sarrien, former
Minister of Justice, and II. Leon l5or-
geois, former Prem ar the real con-
test was between M. Fallieries and
Doumer. NJ. FaiIicrles had the gen
eral support of the advanced Social
ist and radical groups, constituting
the famous party which sustained
the Combes ministry. M. Doumer,
however, is a formidable opponent,
whose election to the presidency of
the chamber of deputies last year
after breaking away from his former
connection with the famous party
previously referred to gave the first
blow to M. Combes. The liberal Re-
publicans, belonging to the center,
and the conservatives who then vot-
ed for Doumer, still seem inclined to
continue their allegiance
According to lobby gossip, there
does not seem to be any likelihood
on this occasion of a surprise in the
shape of a candidate appearing at
the last moment and upsetting all
the plans made, as was the case
when the late M. Carnot was elected
president on the second ballot, secu-
ring an unexpected majority over
The favorite NJ. Perry. A double bal
!ot also occurred when the late Fe-
lx Faure defeated M. BrissOn the
former premier.

president of France. The vote was,

The company there is composed of

DR.. Byers has searched among
the rowing bands that frequent
the United States and believes
that his son can be found among
travelling junk dealers. so called
horse traders or movers. He
does not think that the boy was
stolen by genuine gpysies. He
thinks he was taken by a wander
ing band that used him for the
purpose of begging in the towns
along the route. The child may
now be in the family of some
farmer who would be glad to give
him up to his parents if their
identity were known.
For after child reaches the
age of seven the gypsies abandon
them or give them away"
A reward of $500 is offered for
information leading to the dis.
covery of the boy; this is extended

Take your time about answer.
ing your bell; or, what is great
deal better, do not answer at all,
but wait a halt hour and then
ring up AMI ask who called you
and get mad if Central has for
gotten who it was.
Hang up your receiver big end
up, as in this way IL gets full OF
dust and out of order, and this
will furnish you with an excuse
for swearing at the telephone
system. When through, drop the
receiver or throw it down. This
allows the batteries to run out and
break the strands on the receiver
cord. This gives you another
excuse to kick
Throw keys, combs, etc, on top
OF your telephone, which will
short circuit your instrument.
then go to sleep and no one can
call you.
Never speak kindly to the oper-
ator as she is more used to being
called names.
If the party you called does
not answer you, blame Central.
Never call by number, as you
don't have time to look in the
directory and Central has time to
burn.
If you get the busy signal take
an AK and knock the transmitter
off. This improves the service
very materially and pleases the
manager.-Loveland Reporter.

Zebulon Montgomery Pike. dis.
coverer OF the Peak that bears his
name, was born January 5, 1779, at
Lamberton, New Jersey. He was q
son of General Zebulon Pike of Rev.
olution fame, the family first settling
In America in 1865. When only IS
years of age, Pike was chosen to
head an exploring party through
the Rocky Mountain region, then the
territory of Louisiana. He first
sighted the Peak on November 10,
1906, and on November 81, reached
its base. He did not attempt to
climb to the summit, declaring that
the monster mountain could not be
ascended by human being. Now
there is a steam railroad running to
the summit, where the United States
has established an observatory. The
famous young soldier-explorer was
killed April %. 1913, in an attack on
York (now Toronto) Canada. AL
though but "a years of age, he was a
brigadier general, and was in COM
mand of the attacking party, which
was victorious over the British.
His remains We're inferred with mill
