THE FRENCH TIGER.

Mr.. Clemenceau has returned t(
France. He came to this country for the
avowed purpose of making plain what
France wished the United States to dc
for her. He came as a citizen of France,
not as an official. BY few of our pub
coming and some resentment has been
expressed against some of the statements
he is reported as having made. The most
Of our people, however. recognized him
as being sterling French patriot, of a
rank to which few have attained in this
generation, who came to plead, not for
himself, but for his country. Every
where he went he was received with all
most unbounded cordiality and enthusi-
ssm. This undoubtedly gave Nj. Glenn
enceau great personal satisfaction, but we
think our distinguished visitor must be
aware that his mission failed to lessen
the aversion of American sentiment
against adding to the burdens of Euro
psan affairs which have alreaoy been as
sumed
He did not plead in behalf of the
League Oh Nations, but in urging that this
country should, in some way, come to
the relief of Europe, he said he would
much prefer to see the United States en-
ter it than not come into Europe at all.
This was an entirely consistent state
koc octf hat
he has never had any faith in the league
rs being a safeguard to the peace of the
world and he, has seen it demonstrated
more than once, that many of the sigma
tory ma lions entirely ignore its existence.
In speaking of the debt of France to the
United States he repeatedly said that his
country intended to pay, but she would
find it difficult to do SO unless she could
collect from Germany; and added that
France had remitted 81 per cent of her
original claims against that country.
This may be hint that France may ask
for the cancellation of part, at least, of
her debt to us. In none of his public ad
dresses, as reported in the public press.

Whatever may be his faults Clemen

STORY OF GRAY JOHN, FAMOUS
PIONEER HORSE OF MONTANA

If anyone should ask a Montanan
today what animal is particularly
entitled to honor in this state, as
the golden bear" is universally
adored and apotheosized in Cali
%fornia, he probably would nomin-
ate the Rocky Mountain canary,
alias jackass, alias mule, but while
the mule is entitled to a large mea-
sure of respect for the strenuous
part he has played in the develop
ment of the Treasure state, the
most famous animal of the pioneer
days was a horse. This steed,
christened "Gray John" was gen
orally known everywhere among
the gold diggers of southern Mon
tana as "the gray horse" He was
the property of Martin Barrett
and Joseph Shipeberger, who set
tied on Horse Prairie in 1858 and
became the first ranchers in south
ern Montana. The farm itself came
to be known as "the place OF the
gray horse"
Many were the tales told OF the
speed and endurance of this horse
and Martin Barrett testified that he

Coveted by Road Agents

coveted by Road Agents
It was natural that "Gray John
should be coveted by the roat
agents. When Barrett rode tt
Bannack in the early part of Janu-
airy, 1864, he encountered a swar-
thy man about 40 years old, riding
a buckskin horse. The stranger
who vas no other than Dutch John
a notorious desperado,. suggested a
trade.
AS a good saddle horse was the
only means of JOY riding in those
days and as Barrett was fond OF
joy riding, he refused to swap for
the buckskin although the bandit
offered all the accessories of a liv-
cry stable as additional induce
meats.
The next day Barrett was in
Bannack again, but riding another
horse. This time he met a friend,
Tom Pitt, astride the buckskin
horse. Dutch John had sold the
animal and had started afoot for

Horse Prairie with his saddle O
his own back.
After Gray John

"Ahal' thought Barrett, she is
after Gray John"
1t was easy to track the bandit as
there was four inches of snow on
the ground. When Barrett got
back to the ranch he found that
Dave Melton, his guest for the
winter, had put the horse in the
stable. There was no door to the
stable, only a log chain stretched
across to keep the stock in, for
lumber was high priced.
That night, with the tempera-
ture 40 below zero, the men at the
ranch took turns at standing guard
and in the morning Barrett, Melton
and a hired man started toward a
grove of willows to which tracks
led. They approached cautiously,
fearing an ambush. They found
Dutch Johns camp, saddle and
blankets, but the bandit himself
was not there. The hired man was
sent to the top of a.hill to recon
hotter.

Dutch John Appears
Soon Dutch John appeared at the
foot of the hill. He called to the
hired man to. come on down to the
creek. He had something to tell
him, he said. The hired man mere
ly toyed with his rifle and eyed the
bandit closely. Dutch John aban-
doned his role of "the spider to the
fly" and returned to his camp. AS
he approached he found himself
looking down the barrels of a bat
terry of shooting irons.
Dutch John informed Barrett
and his friend that he had lost his
horse and suggested that they show
a proper spirit of gratitude as he
could have easily waylaid and kill
ed them if he was really a "bad
man."

And Barrett fingered his revolt
yer significantly as he asked the
question.
The bandit, with an air as gra-
cious as it was possible for him to
assume, surrendered all he had,
gave Barrett an L. 0. U. for SIS
and got aboard the mule, which
had a sore back and was inclined
to resent the temerity of Dutch
John in mounting her.
"Now get away as quick as you
IAN with that mule or we'll have

IS Dutch John alternately dug into

A few days later the bandit pass

Barrett went to town to collect
