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 matter of fact,
was M. 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
little bread. He looked SO little like
a beggar that the porter burst out
laughing, but at the same time prom
Used the bread. Still" he added, Il
don't think you'll like it," THAT is
exactly what | want to see" replied
the little old man. Il am M. Clemen-
ceau, the minister of the interior"
The porter looked scared as he me-
chanically 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:
"The bread certainly is not good. A
complaint has been made and | deter
mined to taste the stuff myself" Next
day new -four of higher grade replaced
the old and better bread resulted.

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with Cuticura.

III have cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had skin disease from her
biFth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. C suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. I was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
1.-TWO weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when I went home I could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
put scar on it. I have not seen her
in seventeen years, but | have heard
from her and the last time heard from
her she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Bur.
ington, N INV" 80 -o05."

Cat Catches Her Own Fish.

Mr.. and Mrs. e. F. Falrbrother, re-
siding in Skowhegan, Me- have a
beautiful coon cat, Buster Brown" by
name, about two years of age, which
brought home, at an early hour yes
terday morning, spotted trout eight
pound Buster" has been known to do
some successful fishing in Written
brook before, but has always eaten his
catch himself. In this instance he
ments and leaped up on the sill of the
window, about five feet from the
ground. where he waited until he sue
ceeded in attracting the attention of
the household. On entering the house
he laid the fish on the floor with the
air of a well-traned dog that has re-
trieved bird for its master. The
fish was still alive, Snd, when placed
in the water swan about as though
entirely uninjured.
Buster" comes of cat family
noted for its gaming instincts. His
father, owned in HallOwell, Me-, once
brought hone a full.grown partridge
Buster" should realize that it is
closed time on trout, but as reading is
not one of his accomplishments, per-
haps it would be unfair to hold him
responsible for violation of the game
law. He is doubtless the only cat in
Maine to add to his value as house
hold pet the ability to bring home fish
for his masters table.

WANTED MORE OF THE EARTH.
Canny Young Scot Turned Down q
Grand offer Of 5la Acres.

Just Al years ago, in the Scottish
village of Cupar Angus, word wa:
passed round that young Bob Reid, the
carriers son, was going out to Austria
liza to seek his fortune.
Eth, lad" said one local worthy
but it's a MIGHTY puir outlook for ye
fe'd do far better to stick here in the
hopes o gettin' your uncle's cottage
and bit O land"
| The uncle of the prospective emf.
grant heard the news and sought Bob
| out.
Whats this l hear about YOU gaen'

| Young Reid told him.
Now, look here" said the uncle. a
retired Dlacksmith; stay on in CuDar
Angus an I'll gle ye a piece O land
for your ain. Now, what do We say"
I'm fond O land" said the boy,
but | want more than | can get in
this village, I'm going out to see a
bit O this world"
"Yell live to repent it," said the
uncle
Il hope not" replied Bob, hut
many thanks all the same"
Thirty years later Robert Gillespie
Reid, prominent Montreal railway
contractor, sat in his Office in the Ca
madam metropolis. A large map of
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 a letter from his desk.
1t 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 $15,60O mile. AS
railway Is useless unless engines and
carriages run over 1t the contractor
agreed to operate it for grant in
fee simple of 5000 acres of land for
each mile for a period of ten years."
The government accepted this offer. |
Mr.. Reid smiled, his thoughts at the
moment going back to his boyhood
and to his uncle Henry. BY a single |
stroke of the pen he became the mas
ter of 100000 acres.
He was the greatest private land
owner in the world. But that was not
all. He became possessed of an addi-
tional estate. His Uncle Henry died
and bequeathed him the five and a
half acres in Cupar Angus!

HE WANTED LIVE NEWS.
Correspondent Had No Time to Waste

Vice President Fairbanks stopped
a newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation Of
han incident which happened years
ago. On that occasion Mr.. Fairbanks
and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter
moved away to meet Senator Chand-
Ter of Maine. The vice president said:
II have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper man hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: To tell
you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you

up any. Now, when newspaper man
