mier's DueIins Days.

Running a chicken ranch near Ia

was cab driver to Clemenceau. and
who has accompanied the French
premier to many q combat on the
''ield of honor"
mo one in any country" he. re-
marked the other day. standing among
his chickens, has fought so many
duels as M'sieu Clemenceau. They
came from what he wrote in his pa
per. But he was so strong. He al
ways won. No adversary could hold
a sword against him.
"It was against the law, of course"
added the old Frenchman, seventy
two now. in whisper. $50 we always
slipped out of the city for these
fights"
M'sieu Thien's cab stand used to be
in front of L'Intrasigeant, Clemen-
ceau's paper. Almost nightly, he
says. the present premier would come
out of his office and hail cab S0SS.
HE got the name Tiger" NJ. Then

boss, like the big striped cat is the
boss of all animals.
"Ah, my friend, those were the hap
by days! OF course I will not insult
my chickens. They are good ones, as
chickens go. But 1t is a tame life
here. / dream often of the old days
when M'sieu Clemenceau would hail
me long about two o'clock in the
morning and we'd be off"

FIower Gardens Of Holland.

1t was only after the fall of Con-
stantinople in 1853 that Holland be-
came such a gay land of flowers as 1t
now is. Many Dutchmen went to the
East during the years of the great
crusades. and those of them who loved
beautiful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted In
the rich soil of Holland such wondrous
flowers appeared as had never before
been seen in that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colors and scents and foliage
brought to them from the East. and
in Holland there sprang up q great
love for gardening.

Other events were a Relay Race of carrying peanuts on a knife; One Hundred Yards Dash, the winding of 100 yards of thread from one spool to another; Foot Race, in which each side stood in line with heels touch ing toes and the longest line win ming; a Football Game, flaming a very light balloon across the floor and placing it within small circle on the floor. Prizes were given to the winners of each event.
 After this the girls chose partners for the Grand March. 1t ended in the Dining Room where light refresh ments were served consisting of half a dozen different kinds of cake, lemonade, ice cream, cookies and candy. From here the guests ad- journed to the Main Floor again where more dancing ensued includ- ing the Virginia Reel. The very happy evening did not close until about eleYen-thirty. E.

HOUSE WILL
 RAISE $25,OOO FUND
Friendly Society Will Hold Convention May 24th at
 Wallingford

The state organization of the G1rls Friendly Society will hold it's semi annual convention May 24 at Wall ingford. This year the meeting will take the shape of double anniver- sary. It was just twenty-five years ago this month that the organization was founded in Connecticut with Miss Margaret Jackson of Middle town, it's first president. She has re- n1ained in that capacity for all these years and now in appreciation of her long and faithful service it is pro- posed to raise an endowment fund for the vacation house at Canaan to be called "the Margaret Jackson En- downment Fund of Canaan Vacation House.. The amount needed is $25,- 900 and it is hoped that the total amount will be pledged before the end of this month. -f-r ..
 The Girls Friendly Society has for it's object the training of all its mem bers in religious matters along with good wholesome recreation. During the winter months cooking schools and ',..::crature classes arc. conducted and there is gymnasium in con nection with most of the societies where the girls can get all the ne cessary physical exercise. But when the summer months come and each girl gets her one week or two week vacation there is no place where it could be better spent than. at the Canaan vacation house. This build ing was given to the state organiza- ton several years ago by Mrs. R. l.. McLain of No. 186 Sigourney street, Hartford. The house, along with several barns nearby has been fixed over into a dormitory which will ac- commodate between sixty and sew enty of the members. If the en- dowment fund campaign is a success further improvements can be made on the building, it will become en- sirely independent financially, and it will be possible to have it opened during scme of the winter months.
 In/the endowment campaign it is ,eint asked that each girl member of the society give at least one dol ar, but results already show that
 he members will subscribe more than their share. There are sixty five branches in the state with total
 # 4,000 members. The members themselves will easily take care of $5,000 but for the rest of the money necessary it is hoped that friends interested will not hesitate to offer their subscriptions. ~ e
 The building itself is furnished entirely by the girls, each branch hav- ing undertook to furnish one room in the way it thought best. There is no hired help about the place, those who do it free of charge for the satis- faction they get in helping these girls have a real vacation.
 The program for the convention day, May "A, includes first business session followed by a service of thanksgiving at which the money raised for the endowment fund will be offered. Bishop Brewster of Hartford will preside at this service and deliver an address. Following the church service garden party will be given by the Wal1ingford branch in honor of the guests from the visiting branches.

Debark at Charleston in View of I'M

,iven Rousing Welcome

Charleston, March 2S.-SiXty
nine officers and 3,042 men de-
barked at the Charleston Port
Terminal from the American trans
port Mercury yesterday morning.
They belonged to the units of the ia
nous Thirtieth (Old Hickory divis-
ion, composed Of former National
Guardsmen from South Carolina,
North Carolina and Tennessee. Ac-
tual debarkation, under the personal
supervision of Col. Lawrence G.
Brown, debarkation officer, was
achieved in only fifty-six minutes.
It marked the beginning of the
Port Terminal for debarkation and
the pronounced success of the initial
undertaking brought general con-
gratulations. Cooperation was mani
fest in the handling Of the soldiers
who have just returned from their
gallant service overseas. The large
steamship was broadside against the
wharf at $50 and at 1870 the last
of five troop trains was on its way to
Columbia. It showed splendid prep
aration by the railroad officials, Mr..
P. J. Walker, as federal manager of
the terminal, having directed the
movement out of the terminal.
Only Five on Hospital List.
Particularly noteworthy was the
appearance of the men who debark-
ed. They were literally pictures OF
ed. They were literally pictures OF
robust health and excited the admi-
ration of all onlookers. They were
in jubilant spirits at having reached
their home shores and they were as
playful as so many children, while
they were at ease on the warehouse
platform. According to Lieut.. Col.
Edward C. Register, medical corps,
U. S. A., port embarkation sugeon,
only five cases were on the hospital
list when the Mercury locked. The
maximum on the sick list for the
whole trip was only fifteen.

the deadliest gas.
Behind the easily taken trenches
the French had massed the most in
conceivable amount Of artillery. OF
course, they had to mathematical
exactness the range of the trenches
they had abandoned. Immediately
they poured a terrible fire down inro
those trenches, and you can imagine
the result. My bows afterward found
enough Mauser rifles to equip the
whole regiment. The Mausers look
ed like the old Springfields, and my
boys liked them. So they threw away
their own rifles. When the ammuni-

More Men Return.

Charleston, March 2S.-Seventy
officers and 2,141 men from the
transport Koeningen der Nederlan-
der and II officers and 1889 men
from the transport Pocahontas were
debarked today at the Charleston
port terminal, special military trains
carrying the men to Camp Jackson,
from which they will be demobilized.
The next transport due here is the
Madawaska, which will probably ar
rive Monday, with the transport HUI
ron arriving soon after her.
Charleston gave a riotous demon
stration of welcome to the Pocahon-
tas as she passed up the Cooper riv-
er from her place of ANCHORAGE over
night, officers and men declaring
themselves in enthusiastic terms
about the quality Of the welcome.
The demonstration for the Koenin-
gen der Nederlanden occurred Thurs
day afternoon, her arrival at the ter
minal beng too late to start trains
for Camp Jackson.
Again the canteen section of the
Red Cross radiated cheer and com fort
among the soldiers, the Charleston
battalion in the former National
Guard being congratulated by men
from other towns on the way in
which Charleston women were treat
ing the soldiers. Charleston men
were permitted limited conversation
with their families over the trans
port rail while the Koeningen der
Nederlanden was in dock awaiting
the approach of debarkation.
