Yesterday Clemenceau was
dying. Doctor said nothing!

The old man, who said, "I
do not detest men, hut 1 do I
not like them either," would
have heen president of France,
after" the war, 11 for his hos-I

whom he is much attached.

for him, and that man was a

neither was an atheist, although
both refused to accept any one
of the " revealed' 1 religions
that tho masses of men have ac
cepted. M
Clemenceau rendered service
1o 'his countrv such as no man
has rendered in a hundred !
years. France will do bim jus
tice, and ask no quest tons about
his religion.

studying our civilization, ex

criminals in New York, -engaged
in a game of cards, involv

in one night. One of the gam
blers lost and, refused to pay
nhout $.100,000, and was mur
dered. They will read also the
guesses of some reporters that
witnesses will not tell what
they know because the 'Minder
world" tells them to keep their
mouths shut or say thincs that
mean nothing. t
An interesting picture of our
