An Ohliaing Caller.

When NJ. Clemenceau was in the
French chamber Of deputies he be.
came for some reason the idol Of the
workingman. but his popularity, &C.
cording to the course of nature,
brought its penalties. He was be-
sieged by all sorts Of people, who came
merely to ask questions, and some
times they were questions Of the most
trivial sort.
He was originally a doctor and used
to give advice for nothing at certain
hours of the day. One morning a
workingman entered his room, and
Clemenceau said without looking up
from his writing:
"Take off your coat and shirt I'll
attend to you directly"
Three minutes later he found the
man had stripped to the waist.
There is nothing the matter with
you" said the doctor when he had
made an examination.

man.

American Royalty,

A visitor to one of the hotels at
Carlsbad, Germany, tells the story Of
a gentleman to whom the servants and
the proprietor paid the most profound
attentions. He was royalty treated
rather to the neglect OF the rest Of the
guests.
Every time he came out Of the hotel
door a strip Of green carpet would be
rolled down In front of him and the at
tendants would take off their caps and
bow In the most deferential and ohse
quious manner. Neither the visitor
thus so strangely honored nor the 9th
er guests could make out what this
Difference meant.
