peculiar fascination. His words sank
deep into her heart as we'll as her
mind, and before long she found her
self desperately in love with him. She
was an exceptionally keen-witted girl,
and pre-eminent among her classmates
for beauty and gracefulnesS. Small
wonder that the impecunlous Professor
Georges Clemenceau should have ex-
perienced a reciprocal fame for so
prepossessing a pupil But her rela-
tives, it is said, were not at all pleased
with the prospect of q union with the
French preceptor and Signified to her
that if she defied their wishes she
would be disinlcrited. In this instanco
love laughed no less at money than
1t has been laughing at the proverbial
locksmitl1s. After receiving the alleged
parental ultimatum the couple went
directly to Oakley Hall. who was then
Mayor of New York, and were married
by him.
The Franco-Prussian War was de
clared soon afterward and CIemenceau
felt anew the old-time STRINGS of pa
triotism. He longed to return to
France and get into the thick of the
fight, not only against Prussia but
against Louis Napoleon, for the over
throw of whose reign as emperor he
regarded this an suspicious opportu-
nifty.
Love in a Cottage
But how to get back to France?
The impetuosity Of their hearts had
sllenced the dictates of prudence of
both Clemenceau and his beloved. BY
their marriage the young couple had
been cast loose from the anchor of
financial security, in defiance of that
famous caution of the Poet Keats that

Is, Love forgive me.

Fortunately friends came to the res.
cue and loaned Clemenceau sufficient
sum to defray the expenses of the voy-
age to France for him and his bride OF
three days. They settled in the Mont
martre district of Paris, and 1t was not
long before the denizens of that tumul-
tuous district discovered in Clemen-
ceau the man of the hour" They
chose him their mayor.
The Commune, which came after the
siege of Paris, was born in the Mont

forced President Grevy to retire to
make place for Carnot. 1t has been
said Of him that without his support
no cabinet or president has long main
tanned supremacy.
Becomes a Philosopher
During the period of his withdrawal
from politics he studied and wrote
much. He had ALWAYS been fond Of
the ancient classics and is said to be
able to recite Homer by the hour.
In the third year of his retirement
he made his debut anew in public, this
time as a philosopher and litterateur.
He published book on the philosophy
, of nature, entitled Great Pan"
novel of social life, and a play, 1.-THE
Strongest" the scenes of which are
laid at the Court in China.
In October, 1905, when he was
sixty-five years old he was called by
President Fallieres to form cabi-
net He sent for Il taxicab and went
from house to house of the men whom
he desired for his colleagues. Within
less than forty-three hours after his
appointment as Prime Minister his
cabinet had held it's first council and
been presented to the President.
He was called a second time to the
Premiership in November, 1917, by
President Poincare, the present head
Of the French Republic. The spirit of
France had begun to ebb. The one
time flaming ardor for victory had al
most become extinguished by the Ger
man propaganda manipulated by Bolo
Pasha and other defeatist agents.
Viviani and BRAND had been com
PEELED to acknowledge that as Prime
Ministers they could do nothing to re-
store the national morale.
THE Tiger" was the only one from
whom any reheartening of France
might be expected. He more than
justified the confidence reposed in him.
His first act as Prime Minister was
to check the insidious propaganda
which was undermining the nation;
he brought to book all who in any
way were in the rneshes Of this far
flung conspiracy; the most prominent
of them, like Bola Pasha, We're exc
cuted: Caillaux was imprisoned; 9TH
ers fed.
Shortly before Clemenceau was call
ed to the premiership in 1917, Gail
laux, who was in Rome, said:
"Briand will fail and go; there may
be another: and then will come Glenn
enceau. He will try, and will fail
And then--then I will come"
Fortunately Clemenceau did not fail.
If he had and CaillauX had really be
come Prime Minister of France, Ger
many would have dictated her own
peace terms; for, it is said, the stage
had all been set for this; and de-
mocracy and world-liberation would
have gone begging again for perhaps
another century.

Romance and Ambition Unite

Hendersonville To
Provide Ambulance
tBy Fl. F.. Stewart.)

Friends and donors to the Hender-
sonville Red Cross ambulance fund
will be interested to learn that Hen
Jacksonville will send an ambulance
to the front. Through the good Of
fees and enthusiastic interest of Miss
Sally B Miles, of New Orleans and
Flat Rock, the Hendersonville chap
ter is glad to announce that the funds
necessary to purchase and equip an
ambulance are practically available.
Miss Miles has raised her donation to
$500, and others have given in small
er sums, ranging from $62 down,
Fassifern school heading the list of
these smaller donors, with Nh. and
Mrs. C. A. Hobbs coming in a close
second with $50, and a few others
have given sums of $25, $40 and SIS,
and there are a few other pledges of
like amounts yet to come in, and
these not as yet paid, or others who
may wish to share in raising this am
bulance will please see or phone MI.
F. E. Curtis, the chairman of the am
bulance committee, or any officer of
the Red Cross most convenient.
Make checks payable to American
Red Cross Ambulance Fund or to Mr.
Curtis as chairman.
1t is hoped that in a very short time
the additional amount necessary to
purcphse and equip the ambulance
ready for service at the front will be
available. Hendersonville will be
proud that she is to be credited with
an ambulance in addition to the 9TH
er good Red Cross work having been
done and still being accomplished.
We have not fallen below our allotted
quota in any war cause yet, so come
across good people and let's oversub-
scribe the ambulance also. Hold up
the tradition we have set: "Over the
Top in all things-Good."

Ouch ! 49,! This kind of rough.
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
he says freezone dries Immediately
and never inf1ames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at anv
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
