Indeed tha" colossal undertakings become

"There goes old S stent." an olllccr is

wlmt reas m was there for popular acclaim
for the mere army engineer, successful
though he might have been? And what
cared France nt the moment for the fact
that evcrthins was ell at Madagascar
when -.ho was bicedlns to death, said her
enemies frm mi internal wound?
ieticrnl Joffrp took no sides, nt least not
puhllt ly, in the Dreyfus scandal. lie was
not strong enough to Impose his vIpws; and.
in anv case, then t no reason to think that
he was permuted to know anything of the
Inner Intrigues more than any ordinary
spectator.
What of his private life? As n'most al
wavs. It wxi a pealed bonk save on his
periodical visits to his native Tlivcraltes
He had some friends but to bo a friend
of ricneral Joffre nuans. above cvetythlng
else, to keep this friendship well hidden from
public curiosity He went ociaionalIy to
u theatre, but very occaslonml.v, for tin
drama of life Interested him too- much to
permit him to become absorbed In the drama
of the stago But ho read and studied,
studied and read, both nt work and nt test,
with music for his chief amusement
Pew are the men In Paris whom scandal
whethei justly or not, hus not touched lit
oiip time or another Oonerul Joffre Is nna
of the few
No enemy has et come forth to breathe
a suspicion nsalnn him No betraying
friend has found within a niche of memory
nn thing that could be hurled against him
In an crfort to slain his character. Ju-t in
no Jealous competitor for tumors has dared
to denv that whatever Onornl Joffrc's pluce
is todav it has been fully merited
Tho mvstery that surrounds his private
life has never been thu result of the need
of hiding a skeleton Joffre Is and ever has
been a self-sulllclent man. Sumo there nre
who npplv to him the word "bear" ; but this
Is far from tho truth "Our Joffro" has
spent a bus llfu he never had tho time to
learn the art of practicing folly, and. hav
ing, never learned It, has never had any
need of It
Nolther has Joffre ever been n seeker
after ravors The' nlons of the mights, tho
drawing rooms of the rich knew him tint
lie Is n true e.xamp e of the self-made man
In a profession where litem Is small ehanco
uf nrilvlng nt greatnets without tho oppor
tunity of a war.
As he has nevn pl.ijptl at being a favor

withheld Ids nppioxal of work w. II done,
and his appreciation has taken the form of
acts though not of winds of the-e l.itur
