In justice. It must bo said that this Impression has aeon gained by nothing said or dono while tho distinguished dis-tinguished American was in Paris. It Is simply the French way or looking at it. Any man in Franco with the unbounded popularity of Mr. Roosevolt, and who has had tho honors showered upon him that have come to the former president 'since his arrival in .Europe, could not moro have been kept from tho highest office In tho gift of the people than a match touched to petrol could have avoided producing pro-ducing flame.

His patients come from nil parts of tho world; men and women from as far as South America and Now Zealand, nfflictod with the dread, disease of can-cor, can-cor, havo made their way to Paris to consult hhn. In appearance, Dr. Doven Is a man of middlo size, broad -shouldered and fair-haired, with hard-sot, determined de-termined lips. His oyoB are blue, keen and Inscrutable. His hands, great, brawny, with thick, spatulate fingers, havo been -described as those of an aristocratic aris-tocratic butcher.

Of recent years, Dr. Doyen has had all his moro important surgical operations olnomatographed, his object being to leave exact records of his work for future fu-ture surgeons. An enterprising firm, refusing re-fusing to regard their responsibilities in a scientific spirit, had a number of the films reproduced and sold to various managers for tho edification of European audiences. One Parisian lady, anxious to provide a novel after dinner entertainment entertain-ment for hor guests, had a cinematograph cinemato-graph operation porformod at her house. Theso displays "threatened to becomo fashionable until, on ono occasion, a lndy who had Just undergone an operation opera-tion happened to Iw presont at a party where tho cinematograph, furiously enough, proceeded to give a representation representa-tion of hor own sufferings. Afterwards Dr. Doyon sued tho film makers, and claimed $10,000 damages. Paris Police Pnzzled. The Paris pollco are puzzled over a peculiar pe-culiar case. M. Casimlr Martoau, a draughtsman, and Mmo.

".Martcau," he said, "you staked vour wife In a 'Zanzibar' with Boulcau and lost. As a man of honor, you should now re-lire." Tills cxpedlllous "divorce chez lo marchand do vln" did noi appeal (o Marloau. and ho said so. with emphasis. Tils friends, however, were believers in tho Blsmsxklan axiom, "La force prime Iu droit." M. Marteau an Instant later shot down the stairs bond first. After thai ho ruminated. Tho result of five hours' chilly reflection on a bench on the boulevards boule-vards was that he decided to nppoal to the commissioner of police. Tho latter provided hhn with an escort of a coupio of pollcemon. and with t heir aid the door was forced. M. Martoau, unfortunately, unfortu-nately, found that whatevor might be his opinion on tho "Zanzibar divorce." his wife had none. She hnd accepted the situation. M. Bouleau was also so convinced con-vinced of tho rights conferred upon him by the dice box that he .showed irritability irrita-bility at being disturbed to the extent of kicking one policeman and biting another. an-other. The result: M. Boulcau Is now reflecting over matters at the depot, and M. Marloau Is nyklng his friends lo recommend rec-ommend an able divorce lnwver.
