When the "Tiger" Scored.
Many good stories are being print
ed about Clemenceau Just now in the
French newspapers. One of the best
of them refers to one of the several
duels he fought In the stormy days
of the Dreyfus rase.
Clemenceau arrived at the railway
station the duel was fixed to take
place near a village some little way
out at the same as his opponent.
The latter was first as the booking-
office window, and asked for a return
ticket to the place agreed upon. Then
he stepped aside and gave place to
the "Tiger." who quietly asked Ihe
clerk for a single ticket.
"Afraid yon will not return, eh, M.
Clemenceau?" the other sai. sneer-
Ingly.
"Not at all, monsieur," was the
quick response. It is my Invariable
practice to make use of my opponent's
return half when I ve finished with
him!"
