PRESIDENT OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC
Fallieres Plain, Safe Man of
Simple Tastes and
Habits.

Armand Fallieres. president of the
French republic, is a robust and large
bodied old gentleman of 66. He is from
the Midi, the south that provides
France with officeholders as inevitably
as Ireland provides New York with po-
licemen. Like all men from the south
he possesses the gift of oratory, but COM
bines with IL love for brevity; in fact,
IL is said that the longest speech he
ever made only occupied half a col
umn of newspaper, and that since he
has become president he seldom needs
more than 20 lines.
When NJ. Fallieres took over the
Elysee palace after his election his first
act was to reduce the military and ma
val staff attached to the presidency.
The 10 or 20 officers of high rank on
M. Loubets personal staff were cut
down to three, the highest in rank be-
ing colonel. Fourteen officials at
tached to the protocol or etiquette de-
partment were dismissed.
1t is out of place for the chief mag
istrate OF democratic republic to be
surrounded with so much ceremony"
was the new chief of states remark
Madame Fallieres ran her side of the
official residence on the same lines. An
army of cooks, scullions. chamber
maids and Wallets had to go, and Ma
riette, the family cook, who has been
in the Fal!ieres service from time i'm
memorial, was installed in the presi-
Dental kitchens.
These changes and others. such as
not keeping up the state stables but
hiring horses when they are needed for
state occasions, are ascribed by Paris
ian satirical newspapers less to a dis
like for ostentation than to a love of
thrift.
Winter and summer NJ. Fallieres rises
at and Immediately takes cold
shower bath. Then, weather permit
ting. he starts off for his morning con-
stitutional walk. never less than five
miles. He begins with a four-mile an
hour gate, which dwindles down to Il
stroll it, as is usually the case, the
walk finishes along the quays of the
Seine, for he is a great book lover and

Faliieres native place. He dimes
promptly at 7. and if there is nothing
to prevent him doing SO he spends the
evening quietly in the family circle,
retiring to bed at 1890. He rarely goes

Obliged 10 do so on state occasions.
A man of simple tastes and straight
forward character. NJ. Fallieres was
elected to the presidency first of all ON
account of his personal merit and mod
crate views, and second because the

down as an axiom that the president

A HOG EXPERTS DISCOVERIES.

Professor Dietrich, hog expert at the
Illinois experiment station, has discovered
these facts during series of experiments.
results of which will shortly be announced
in bulletin form:
An all-corn ration is not good for grow
ing pigs. ;
1t Is an easy matter TO get growing
hog off the main line onto a side track
and difficult matter to get him back.
Lots of young hogs are injured BY using
them for the purpose of wasting feed.
hog can eat more than he can digest
and digest more than he can use.
The danger of overfeeding in the case
OF growing pigs is always inmical to-
maEimum results.
1t is not a fact that a hog can take care
of all he can eat
A self feeder is not good for young pigs,
as under months old they will eat too
much
That an exclusive corn diet is not a good
thing for growing hogs has been demon
strated by a test In which animals so fed
averaged but 70 pounds in weight at the
end of eight months. while by the new
method an average OF 2S0 pounds was at
tanned. This was the widest extreme in
gains produced.

The Carriage Waits without"

1.-The carriage waits without, my lord"
Without what, gentle s!r?'
without the left-hand running-board,
without the French chauffeur,
Without a drop of gasoline,
Six nuts, the can of oil,
-Four pinions, and the limousine,
The spark plug and the coil
Without the brake, the horn, the clutch,
Without the running-gear,
One cylinder--it beats the Dutch
How much there Is MT herel
The car has been repaired, in fact,
And you should be right glad
To find that this much is intact
OF what your lordship had.
The garage sent II back, my lord,
In perfect shape throughout:
So you will understand, my lord,
Your carriage waits without"

The Shepherd of kinu Adne+us

There came a youth upon the earth,
Some thousand years ago.
Whose slender hands were nothing worth
Whether TO plough, or reap, or sow.
Upon an empty tortoise-shell
He stretched some chords, and drew
Music that made mems bosoms swell
Fearless, or brimmed their eyes with
dew.
Then King Admetus, one who had
Pure taste by right divine,
DeCreed his singing not too bad
To hear between the cups of wine;
And so, well pleased with being soothed
Into a sweet half-sleep,
Three times his kingly beard he smoothed,
And made him viceroy Ger his sheep.
His words were simple words enough,
And yet he used them so,
That what in other mouths was rough
In his seemed musical and low.
Men called him but a shiftless youth,
In whom no good they saw;
And yet, unwittngly, in truth,
They made his careless words their law
They knew not how he learned it all,
For idly. hour by hour,
He sat and watched the dead leaves fall
Or mused upon common flower.
It seemed the loveliness of things
| Did teach him all their use
| For, In mere weeds, and stones, and
| springs,
He found healing power profuse.
! Men granted that his speech was wise,
| But. when a glance they caught
! OF his slim grace and woman's eyes,
. They laughed, and called him good-for-
naught.
Yet, after he was dead and gone,
! And cen his memory dim,
! Earth seemed more sweet TO live upon,
More full Of love, because Of him.
| And day by day more holy grew
Each spot where he had trod,
! TIL after-puets only knew
! Their tirst-bcrn brother as a god

Increase in Use of Drug Has Been

There are in New York G,O00 slaves tc

DR.. Hamilton Wright, one of the three
American members of the international
commission that will meet In January tc
investigate the opium traffic and arrange
plan to suppress it. This number is
more than three times as great, he said
as the number of "fends" in Philadel-
pEta.
Doctor Wright said that contrary to
the general belief the Chinese users Of the
drug and the opium manufacturers both
are anxious TO see the law enforced as
TO its sale, while the Chinese 'pipers" are
strong advocates Of total abstinence from
the drug for the rising generations.
Doctor Wright declared there has beer
a steady increase in the importation OF
opium since 1878 That year the imported
drug prepared for smoking amounted to
$1,000 pounds, while in 1907 the imports
had increased to l51 900 pounds. The i'm.

FEEDING LAMBS ARE CHEAPER.

From the DroVerS' Telegram.
1T begins to look very much as If
sheep feeders would be able to get their
lambs this fall much cheaper than last
season" This statement was made to-
day by Eugene Daigh, of Palmer Lake,
Colo. THE dry condition of most of
the range country had the effect of
cutting short the feed, and sheepmen
in most parts of the range territory
will be willing to sell at lower prices
this fall The lambs, as a rule, will
not be as large or as good in quality
as they were q year ago, but the diff
ference in the price will make up for
that. 1t seems safe now to say that
lambs that sold for So q head last fall
can be bought this fall for $1.75. Sheep
feeders paid fancy prices a year ago
for feeding sheep of all kinds and they
are a little slow now about buying.
At this time last season thousands of
lambs had been contracted for, but up
to the present time l know of but very
few that have been sold for delivery
this fall. This shows the feeling among
prospective feeders. We still think a
good many sheep will be fed, but buy
Ing will be done later"

CHAPTER XXu.

Late. as l have heard, on the after
room of November 20, 1858, a man rid
ing between oxford and Worcester
with the news of the queens death
caught sight of the gateway tower at
Cotton End, which is plainly visible
from the road. Though he had already
drunk that day as much ale as would
nave sufficed him for a week when the
queen was well, yet much wants more.
He calculated he had time to stop and
taste the sQuire's brewing which he
judged, from the look of the tower,
might be worth his news, and he rode
through the gate and rallied at his nag
for stumbling.
Half way across the chase he met
Sir Anthony. The old gentleman was
walking out, with his staff in his hand
and his dogs behind him, to take the
air before supper. The man, while he
was still hundred PAGES off, began TO
wave his hat and shout something
which ale and excitement rendered un-
intelligible
What is the matter?" said Sir An
thany to himself and he stood still.
The queen is dead" shouted the
messenger, swaying In his saddle.
The knight stared.

awhile, and he took off his hat. rs IL

Was a Sad Case

A rather cad case came up in
Judge Fulton's court Friday when
Howard Wilson, young man Of
eighteen, was examined as to his
sanity. The complaining witness
was his foster-father, one VIM.
Wilson "a squaw man" who has
a ranch on the Middle Fork OF the
Clearwater. Several witnesses
were present from Kooskia and
practically no evidence was intro
duced that would prove the boys
insanity.
Mr.. Wilson it seems, got the boy
when he was child of five from a
family by the name of Stewart and
they had taken him from sailors
home in Salem, Mass, when he
was a baby. When questioned he
admitted that he did not know who
HE parents were.
"Billy" Wilson, the man in
whose bands he had been placed,
did not legally adopt him but seem
ed to figure on getting considerable
work in return for his keep aud &C.
cording to the boys story, it was
no fault of "Billy's" if he failed in
his object.
The complaining witness has an
uhsavory reputation in his neigh
borhood and while Chilly" may
have tried his best to bring up the
child as he would one of his own,
we doubt his angelic disposition.
1t seems the young fellow inter.
fered in some domestic and Other
troubles once upon time, left
'home" when things got too warm
and was a witness in trial which
the prosecuting with ess was inter
ested, all of which greatly angered
"papa. +" The old gen tleman though
the boy was a bad one an rea
develish but he seemed alone in
his belief. Jerome Crispen an(
DR.. Alcorn of Kooskia were called
by the boy and gave in some valu
able evidence. At the conclusion
OF the hearing the board found thu
young man perfectly sane and hs
can now 60 on his way in THU

WANT NO CHINESE

Western people have about de-
cided that no more Asiatics are
wanted here. Although the pres
emit administration told the
people of SanFrancisco, when they
objected to their children having
to attend the same school as the
Chinese and Japs, that they didn't
know what they were talking about
and insisted on running their
affairs, we of the west took excep-
tions. We note the republican
platform is perfectly silent on this
immigration business while the
democratic platform comes out in
. plain manner so the meaning
cannot be questioned. Here is the
plank:
I'VE favor all protection by
both national and state government
within their respective spheres, OF
eli foreigners residing within the
United States under treaty, but we
are opposed to the admission oil
Asiatic immigrants who cannot be
amalgamated with our population,
or whose presence among us would
raise race issue and involve u,
in diplomatic controversies with
Oriental powers.
