America in 1866, an exile from France
because Of his liberal opinions too
freely expressed. He returned to
France with his bride and established
her in a splendid home in Paris. His
father was a man of considerable
wealth.
Young Clemenceau plunged at once
into the whirl of social and political

American wife. who had no sympathy

trickster can insert in the wheels Of

A witness testified in a certain case
that a person named Mary was pres

took place, and the question was
asked: what did Mary say?" This
was objected to, and after some dis
cussion the Judge ruled out the ques.
ton. An exception to this decision
was Immediately taken, and on appeal
the higher court reversed the verdict
and ordered a new trial on the ground
that the question should have been
answered.
At the second trial the same in
quiry was propounded and elected the
information that Mary said nothing!

by certain plants growing in those re-

1t has developed that in places
where there is only a slight, irregular
rainfall. plants peculiar to the district
have no special reservoirs for the stor-
age of water. while in regions where
the rainfall is confined to brief regu-

are provided with various devices for
storing water for consumption during
dry spells.
An example of this provision of ma
ture has been discovered in "guare-

the sources from which the contribu-

Figures ever tell better story than

a story SO stupendous that its full sig

awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order

same concerns did a business of about
$62. 100000. a gain of $1S.000,000 or
nearly 80 per cent. in a single year be-

Mice and rabbits sometimes burrow
into the snow and gnaw the bark OF
the fruit trees. Go around the orchard

trees.
Pear cider. or perry. is made IN ex
