It Is an all but forgotten circurn-
stance that Clemenceau was once "a
Yankee school teacher" His political
foes deristyely applied to him this
epithet, which had its origin In the
fact that for two years and o half N
the late '60's the rising young states
man taught the French language and
literature in q school for girls q
Stamford. Conn.
He had come to America IN 1885
when "a years Of age. virtually an ex.
lie from imperial France. He had Just
served a prison term for shouting
"vive Ia Republic" in the streets Of
Paris. Upon arrival here he attempted
to build up medical practice In New
York. But his livelihood was meagre7
so he turned to school teaching.
He fell in love with a New York
girl, Mary Plummer, who was one d
his pupils, and upon her graduation In
1869, they were married. Several chill
dren came Of the union but an es-
arrangement and divorce resulted after
many years and the then prominent
French leader married q Parisienne.
His return to Paris was a matter 0f
quick decision when he heard Of the
outbreak Of the FTanco-Prussian war
inlS70. He borrowed his passage mon
ey from fellow practitioner Of medi.
cine, and arrived in Paris Just nstimh
to witness the downfall OF Napoleon
III, and the rise Of the Third Repub.
lie. He received an appointment as
mayor Of the Monmarte district.
Within Q year he had found q sect
in the national Chamber Of Deputies.
His biting satire and thunderous YER
bal assaults in the chamber and IN i
newspaper which he had established
made him at once q power. He be-
came known as the Destroyer Of Mn
tstries" and as 1.-THE Tiger" When
ever q cabinet did not suit his politi.
cal purpose. he set about to cause rs
downfall. He is reputed to have up.
set more than sixteen cabinets ana
