Side Lights on M. CIemenceau, Who

M. Georges Clemenceau, who became
prime minister of France in December
of 1906 and who recently resigned,
was known as "the king maker" 1t
was he who put Carnot into the presi-
dency on the fall of Jules Grevy, whom
he himself pulled down He brought
about the election of M. Loubet. He
drove General Boulanger out of office
and overthrow NJ Freycinet. M.
Clemenceau was born in 1871. BY edu-
cation physician, he was also jour
nalist and teacher, following the latter
profession in the United States, where
he married Miss Mary Plummer Of
Greenwich, Conn, one of his pupils.
In the revolution of Sept. 4, 1870, he
was made mayor of the Eighteenth
reimbursement and a member of the
municipal committee Of public instruc-
ton. AT the close Of the siege he went
to the national assembly. He fought a
dozen duels in those early days. He
later dropped out of politics for many
years to reappear again in March Of
1906 as minister of the interior. He is
man of wealth and skillful physi-
clan.

The two minute trotter appeared six
years ago. and the trotters that have
beaten 2:05 number sixteen, but the
person who can breed or develop a
horse so that he can trot three success
sive heats in 2:10 can get price for
him that will pay well for the effort,
and he can also earn money enough
in one year with such horse to keep
the owner in good condition the fol-
lowing year. While the list Of 2:10
trotters is a long one, filing over two
pages In the year book, the fact re-
mains that a 2:10 trotter is good
enough to win in any country If he
can trot three successive heats that

NOTED TOMB'S LAMP
Tribute to Lady Curzon's Memory
Hung In Tai Mahal.
OF RARE ORIENTAL DESIGN.

Placed by Order Of Former Viceroy of
India Above the cenotaphs of Shah
Jehan and His Queen In Mausoleum
at Asra-Made by Skilled Egyptian
Workman.
A tribute to the memory of Lady
Curzon, who was Miss MarKLeiter Of
Chicago, swings in the magnificent
marble mausoleum, the Tai Mahal in
Agra India. 1t is a lamp of rare
oriental workmanship of bronze inlaid
with silver and gold.
1t was placed there Immediately
above the cenotaphs of Shah Jehan
and his queen, the builder Of the TAI
and the consort, at whose death the
beautiful structure was erected, by
Lord Curzon as a silent memorial to
Lady Curzon.
The story of the love Of the fifth
mogul emperor of Delhi which in
spired the Tai and of the placing of
the new lamp in the old tomb by the
former viceroy is told by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox.
Installed After Evening Prayer.
"Not many months ago America and
England had occasion to feel more
than an artistic interest in this Won
derful monument to a constant love-"
writes the author. "Just after even
ing prayers had been said in the
mosque and while the suns last rays
kissed the shimmering minarets and
the shadows fingered in the grounds
above the Tai the lamp was installed
with fitting ceremonies by the lieu
tenant governor of Agra"
OF the event Lord Curzon, who had
been frequent visitor of the Tai
Mahal with his American wife, is
quoted as saying:
II had often been struck by the alb
sence of any lamp above the ceno-
taphs Of Shah Jehan and his queen.

such a lamp had been suspended from
