Reid, prominent Montreal railway

North America hung before him on
the wall. Having migrated to Canada,
says the Grand Magazine, he had as
a contractor built large portions of
the Canadian Pacific railway and was
still looking about for new fields of
endeavor.
He picked up letter from his desk.
IL was from the government of New
foundland, accepting his tender for
building railway across the island.
BY the terms of the contract, now
about to be signed, Mr.. Reid would
build the road at $4,000 a mile. As a
railway is useless unless engines and
carriages run over II the contractor
agreed to operate II "for grant in
fee simple of 5000 acres of land for
each mile for period of ten years."
The government accepted this offer.
Mr.. Reid smiled. his thoughts at the

Tales Of CIemenceau.

When Georges Clemenceau, the new
prime minister of France, was ap.
pointed minister of the interior and
paid his visit to the Office he came
upon a secret document concerning
himself which set forth infinitely all
the details of his political career and
innumerable episodes of his life. One
item related to certain weekly visits
which he had paid to a mysterious
person, supposed to be an enemy of
the government, with whom he spent
an hour or so on each occasion. The
mysterious one, as a matter of fact,
was NJ. Clemenceau's .chiropodist, and
the minister took pains to have this
grotesque information inserted in the
serious document.
A couple of months ago he knocked
at the door of the prison of St. Lazare
and desired the porter to give him a
little bread. He looked so little like
a beggar that the porter burst out
laughing, but at the same time prom
ised the bread. STILL" he added. Il

The porter looked scared as he me.
chemically handed the minister the
bread, then rushed wildly off to the
prison authorities.
NJ. Clemenceau ate his frugal meal
in silence and, turning to the officials,
who had by this time assembled, said

complaint has been made and ! deter
mined to taste the stuff myself" Next

inches long, weighing a quarter of a
pound. Buster" has been known to do
some successful fishing In Written

catch himself. In this instance he
seemed to take pride in his achieve

window. about five feet from the
ground, where he waited until he sue
