THE TIGER'S CAR
M, Clemeneeau, the grand old man of France, who uses an automobile instead of the train for travelling about France, tried to buy a new car the other day and.couldn't. For several years the Tiger has travelled about in a big, but old car. He decided it was about time to get a new model, and wont to the sales office to see how much he would be allowed on the old machine. "Monsieur le President," the sales manager said,'"France owes you too much. Let me pay my part of tho debt and give you the car." And he refused to accept a sou from the Tiger. Clemeneeau, on returning to his apartment, sent a cheque for 10,000. francs to the automobile plant to be distributed among workmen whose circumstances were the most needy.
