President Fallieres isn't self

the energy and the ambition for that
sometimes sorely mscarried process.
President Fallieres is the product,
50 you are told, of his ambitious and
energetic wife. Nine. Presidente
Madame is all that the president
of the French republic is not and
IL is entirely through her desire to
be reyenged upon certain sneeriug
relatives that her distinguished hus-
band is not today the mayor of the
sleepy Old World town of Nerac,
In Gascony. Had it not been for Nine
Fallieres' force and diplomacy her
gifted other half would now be lead

As matter OF fact, Falieres was
the grandson of the blacksmith in
the myth, while his father was a
thrifty mot to say wealthy wine
grower. The son had reasonably
complete education and was law
student in the little city of Nerac.
He was by no means dull. but ma
ture had instilled into his bones a
certain lethargic essence not bit
rare in Gascon. Henry OF Navarro
knew the Gascons as poor swords
men; later generation may find
them poor workers.
Aside from this indlspositlon for
special efforts the young lawyer was
distinguished as a dreamer. Crack.

fine epithets to which relatives OF
