Happy and contented, John L. Sui
rvan, former champion of the prize
ring and the most popular fighter who
ever lived, leads the peaceful life of
farmer on the outskirts of Arlington,
Mass. The old gladiator has a 70
acre plot on which he has just har-
vested fine crop and he is exceed
fngly proud Of his success as a tiller
of the soil. John T. is now fifty-four,
Of this age. His cheeks are as ruddy,
his eyes as clear and his step as
springy as in the days when he was
the idol of the masses. The Sullivan
of today is an entirely different man
from the Sullivan of the old days.
When he was the champion of the
prize ring John l.. was known as the
greatest spender of his time. He
made big money, as he was the great
est attraction from the pugilistic
standpoint that has appeared in pub
lie and he spent it as fast as it cane.
He is credited with having squan-
dered million dollars N the heyday
of his fame. But all of that is past
and forgotten. John L. has ridden
on tka front seat of the water wagon
for several years past and today can
drsw his check for something like
100000.
Nothing would ever induce me to
return to city life said Sullivan on
his farm In Arlington recently.
1t is two years since Sullivan went
to the farm, after marrying a charm
ing woman whom he credits with
having made a man of him. The
first year he just wandered over his
20 acres and wondered if there was
In him the stuff that makes good
farmers. "a year ago | decided that
there was" he said not long ago.
And. the results have proved that
I had the right bunch"
Sullivan has grown potatoes enough
almost to keep the town of Abingdon

president of the senate (now Antonin
Dubost, a possible candidate) pre-
sides. When M. Fallieres was elect
ed on January II, 1906, he received
429 votes, against 371 given to Paul
Doumer, with total of $50 voters, SO
that he only obtained thirteen votes
more than the absolute majority requi-
site for election. g
Luxurious Restaurant
The life of the assembly on the day
of presidential election only begins
after lunch. The president of the SEN
ate, the president of the chamber and
the ministers have many guests. and
as they are lodged for the day in the
palace the ancient home of kings be-
comes luxurious restaurant, wherein
many a vote is changed by judicious
presentation of arguments over
meal of the highest excellence. Some
days before the election all the re-
sources of the national warehouse,
where all the nations treasures in
furniture are stored, are drawn upon
to fit up apartments for these high
officials who will use them fer but
few hours. To the president Of the
assembly is allotted an entire Sec
ond story. with bedroom, as If he
was going to stay days instead OF
hours. He has sumptuous reception
rooms at his disposal and a staff OF
servants of every kind.
The assembly generally opens at
one o'clock. The public galleries are
then crowded. The president of the
assembly takes his seat in an arm
chair amid cheers from his admirers,
although the presence of an opposi-
ton can always be detected. The
secretaries of the senate take their
places and the president declares
the session open. He reads the. ar
ticle of the constitution by which the
assembly Is created and the article
which says that the president Of the
republic shall be elected by an abso-
lutte majority of the national assem-
bly, for seven years and that he Is
eligible for reelection. He then
says:
II declare the national assembly
duly constituted. The vote will take
place at the tribune by calling the
names"
Letters of excuse from members un-
able to attend are read and the names
of thirty-eight members to count the
votes are drawn by lot These pre-
liminaries being concluded letter is
drawn by lot to designate the initial
at which the order of voting shall
commence.
