MADE CHIEF BY WIFE
STORY OF RISE OF FRENCH RE-
 PUBLIC's PRESIDENT.
Fallieres Was an lndoient Young Law. yer Till Wife, Stung by Sneers of Relatives, Planned Future
 for Gifted Husband.

London.-The recent visit to Eng. land of President Armand Fallieres of France at a time when the public hadn't ceased wagging about the rise of H. H. Asquith to the prime minis try and the amount of credit due his tactful and friends winning wife, Mar got Tennant that was, have given the active friends of the other sex re- newed room for boasting
 President Fallieres isn't a self-made man. He lacks the initiative, the en- ergy and the ambition for that some times sorely miscarried process. Presi- dent Fallieres is the product, so you are told, of his ambitious and ener- getic wife, Mime. le Presidente. Madame is all that the president of the French republic is not, and it is entirely through her desire to be re- venged upon certain sneering relatives that her distinguished husband is not today the mayor of the sleepy old world town of Nerac, in Gascony. Had it not been for Mme. Falliere's force and diplomacy her gifted other half would now be leading the sheltered and stinted life of an ordinary legal practitioner in his modest country home instead of the luminous career of head of his nation, entertained by royalty across the channel, paid $250,- 900 year, forced to live in the great white Elysee palace and be shot at by anarchistic muddle brains Gin con- mon with most of the blessed of mod ern greatness).

Tn the most straitened of circum. stances; that he rose from the depths of poverty through his own efforts, and more of the usual exaggerated nonsense attributed to those who may rise from comparative obscurity to mo- liability.
 As a matter of fact, Fallieres was the grandson of the blacksmith in the myth, while his father was a thrifty (not 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 nature had instilled into his bones a certain lethargic es. sence not a bit rare in a Gascon Henry of Navarro knew the Gascons as poor swordsmen; a later genera tion may find them poor workers.
 Aside from this indisposition for special efforts the young lawyer was distinguished as a dreamer. Cracked brained revolutionist" and feather brains" were some of the really fine epithets to which relatives of Mme. tiOutSu thO iutuiC of great people when they learned of the prospective alliance. Fallieres didn't mind much. In common with dreamers he understood his superiori. ty and would have let it be. Not SO madame.
 Once married to her brilliant but indolent barrister, Mime. Fallieres brought about peace with her father and secured for her socially inferior husband the rich legal practice of tho elder lawyer. She established a sort of provincial political salon at Nerac, had the happy faculty of making friends and the rare prescience of dis. tinguishing those whose devotion might prove disastrous. With herself always in the background she labored with the vim peculiar to a hurt, ambi- tious woman and she worked better than may be told in mere words.
 Today the spiteful relatives bow to the husband who has no social super1. ors in France-and possibly to the skill of his wife.

DENVER. MAR. 2,-Practically

DR., Baynard craigh, pastor of the
Central Christian Church, said that
the murder OF Father Leo Heinrichs
was but the natural climax Of the
criminal tendencies of the times, but
spoke in an optimistic way OF the
future stating that the greatest re-
vival Of religion this country has ever
seen can be expected within a very
short time. He declared that the

dividuals and the methods they pur-
sue in accumulating riches, tend as
