A TIGER NO MORE

CLEMENCEAU stooped AND THIN HIS 87TH BIRTHDAY PARIS, Saturday. “Tiger” Clemeneeau, the man of iron and vigour, is showing unmistakable signs ot' his S 7 years. He is getting thin and stooped. Celebrating his birthday, he made his usual pilgrimage to his future grave, which was a mere yawning, neglected hole, in which his father was buried years ago, stipulating that nobody should interfere with the work of nature, so the grave is fringed with a tangle of weeds. Nearby is the old fisherman’s hut, in which M. Clemeneeau has his holidays, behind a ring of barbed wire, erected to exclude tourists. An American camera girl yesterday risked the entanglements, in which
she was hopelessly mixed up. Her cries brought out M. Clemeneeau, who feigned anger. He said, “For your euriosity, you can stay there till tomorrow,” but he soon sent the gardener to extricate the rubber-necked American.
