II _ The man who said threrw a tremendous accent on the "I." It was a way he had. He went on the theory that he and his personal longings, ambitions and glories were the only things on earth to be considered. Tet this conceited little man in the? big wig was the greatest sovereign of his day. For he was the "Grand Monarch," Louis XTV, king of Franco. Richelieu, the cardinal and prime minister, who had done so much for France, and Incidentally for himself, was dead. And Lonis Xni had died soon after his minister, leaving the throne to his five-year-old son, Louis XIV. Cardinal Mazarln had succeed ed Richelieu as prime minister, and managed to embroil France In foreign wars and domestic revolts. He was a miser and forced the boy king to sleep In dirty, tattered sheets and to practice other humiliating petty economies. Fouquet, the, minister of finance, took advantage of the unsettled state of the court>to rob the yal exchequer. Other abuses flourished unhindered. Hence, when Mazarln died. In 1661, the twenty-three-year-old Louis decided he had had enough of ministers. When asked to whom various matters "of state were •henceforth" to be referred. he replied: "To me!" Henceforth he reigned as an absolute dictator. France was wrecked by war, discontent and hard times. The treasury was in bad condition. The, young monarch found his position no sinecure. He set to work at once to build up the country, without and within. At once the Qolden age pr France began to dawn. By 1078, Louis was everywhere acknowledged to be the most powerful sovereign of Europe. His army was the largest on earth. Industry, literature, architecture and art flourished in his realms as never before. The French court's magnificence was the envy of all nations. Among the famous men who added lustre to Louis' reign and left Immortal names to posterity were the poetdrajnatlsts Mollere, Racine and Corneille; the painters, Claude Lorraine and Lebrun; the architect, Mansard, and the preacher, Bossuet. France's armies won everywhere brilliant victories and France's fame and -that of Its king were world-wide. Louis' personal character was oddly out of keeping with all this greatness. A man of notoriously bad morals, he was also intolerably vain, arrogant and self-centered. The man who plans only for his own glory can win no permanent success. And so It proved | with the grand monarch. He outlived his greatness. As the yean went on the men of genius who bad contributed so largely to his success began to die off. None of equal mentality re= placed them. The beautiful and wicked women who In turn had swayed the court were now only old and wicked. The grand monarch himself was feeling and showing the marks of age and of the lift be had led. Nor were his country's affairs 1b lees decadent condition. By an us just asd idiotic act of his own Louis hastened the downfall of the he bad achieved. Mb* 4e Main tenon, a woman of intensely religions tendencies but of nar row, limited Intellect, attracted the old king's fancy. He secretly married her, Thereafter her Influence over him was boundless. At her wish the gay court grew sombre and stupid. The king devoted to piety the hours thst had for merly been given to pleasrure. Then, at his wife's urgent plea, he revoked the edict of Nantes. This edict, estate llsbed by Henry IV, granted Religious freedom and many other privileges to the Huguenots (Protestants) through out France. Its revocation threw the country into panic. By thousands the Huguenots emigrated to Holland. Eng land and America. France suffered incalculable Injury from the wholesale departure of these Ill-treated people. Holland, Germany and Spain formed (an alliance against Franca, and Louis learned most keenly that his power •Was on the wane. Then came the ^rushing blow of his whole life. In the famous war of the Spanish succession, frhe king of Spain, dying, bequeathed his throne to the duke of Anjou. Louis' grandson. This, a crowning result of Louis' diplomacy, threatened to unite the kingdoms of France and Spain. But the Archduke Charles disputed itnjou's claim; and Germany, Holland find England, espousing the srehduke's Cause, combined against Louis. In battle after battle the allies defeated the grand monarch's armies, until, by 1713, France was beaten and humiliated and glad to sue for peace. Here 4x>uis' old-time genius flared up for the moment; for only his statecraft and policy saved his country from dismemberment at this critical moment. On September 1, 1719, in his seventy- seventh year, Louis XIV died. His greatness had died long before him. ^He lived to see his country humbled and disgraced through his follies, to «ee the plain people overburdened and Oppressed by taxes to pal, for his extravagances; to witness she death of tils son and grandson, and to know that the era of panic and semi-anarchy which was at hand was due to his own tnistakes and sins. Surely a tolerably severe lesson in the folly of living wholly for one's self and for par tonal glory.
