TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER 4, 1919,
DROVE CLEMENCEAU TO FIELD
Tillamook Headlight’s
Former Parle Cab Driver, Now In
America, Telle of French Pre
mier's Dueling Daye.
Running a chicken ranch near Ta
coma. Wuah., Is a man uamed Nich
olas Thlen, who, In his younger days
was cab driver to Clemenceau, and
who has accompanied the French
premier to mnny a combat on the
“Held of honor."
"No one In any country,” he re
marked the other day, standing among
his chickens, “has fought so many
duels as M’sleu 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 a whisper, “so we always
slipped out of the city for these
fights.”
M’sleu Thlen’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 hall cab 8088.
“He got the name ‘Tiger,’ ’’ M. Thlen
explains, "because he was always the
boss, like the big striped cat is the
boss of all animals.
“Ah, my friend, those were the hap
py days I Of course I will not Insult
tny chickens. They are good ones, as
chickens go. But it is a tame life
here. I dream often of the old days
when M’sleu Clemenceau would ball
me ’long about two o'clock In the
morning and we’d be off.”

Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground Is considered a shoe
In Serbia.
In the remote rural districts of the
country It Is said that many of the
people live and die without owning a
pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate If they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with twine In winter..
The first American-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created a tremendous stir
among the people of the distant vil
lages. One old woman who had never
owned a pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on a shelf above the fire
place. She was as pleased as a child
to own them, but nothing could Induce
her to wear them. She said that she
Intended to save them for fetes, or
perhaps for her burial. They were
“much too beautiful to be worn,” she
said.
Gem’s Romantic History.
Truly romantic Is the story of the
Braganza diamond, a stone of 1,600
carats, and “as large as a goose’s egg,”
which, for more than a century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone,
which Mr. Streeter, the great author
ity on gems, has valued at £58.000.000,
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws In the half-dried bed of the
Abalte river, in the province of Minas
Geras«.
The outlaws took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them to ths governor, into
whose possession it was given. The
diamond, the largest and finest hither
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and a rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly offices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment In
the church.
Flower Gardens of Holland.
It was ohly after the fall of Con
stantinople In 1453 that Holland be
came such a gay land of flowers ns It
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 a great
love for gardening.
Orchid Hard to Secure.
Nearly all the orchids found in
Burma can be grown with a little care
and attention In private gardens.
There is one exception, a sweet-smell
ing species called tazln by the Bur
mese, and which Is usually brought to
market In Christmas week In Rangoon
It only seems to flower in the most
malarious and least frequented locali
ties. and at a time of the year which Is
the tigers’ mating season. and when
they are most dangeroua to human be

mese and sells for Its weight In silver.
