The "Old Fool” Saw 11;
M. Clemenceau, the ex -Premier of
France, had once an amusing though
very annoying a per:ence. Ile had
as his favorite servant a man who
could neither read nor write.
One day a well-known senator
called to see him, but ht. Clement -eau
sent word through his servant that
he was too busy to grant an inter-
view. The senator replied that ire
must see the Premier, es his bus'uess
was most important. M. Clemenr^Citi,
very much annoyed at this persist-
ency, wrote on the bark of the sena-
tor's visiting card: "Cet rid of this
old tool in five minutes," and :lave It
to his servant with instructions to
take it to his secretary, M. Coussol.
The servant went to look for M.
Coussol, but could not find hint any-
where. Not wishing to disturb his
master again, and being unable to
read what M. Clemenceau had writ-
ten on the visiting card, 'he returned
to the waiting senator with the re-
mark:
"Very sorry, sir, but M. Clemen-
ceau is busy and his secretary is out,
but my master has written the reply
on your card here, if you would care
to read it."
The senator read M. Clemenceair's
message, and abruptly lett the house.
After that the Premier counted one
supporter less in the world of politics.

BATTLE TO DEATH st ee of fifteen years who in his
street, Emperor ears .street; with
five comrades and a supply of hand
grenades, kept a German company at
bay for two hours. 'He had three
shrapnel wounds, but was smiling
and eager to fight again. His chief
promoted him to corporal on the field
of battle.
"Once in possession of the city, the
Germans opened a terrible fire on the
Serbian positions behind it. The
,lines of•trenches were searched one
by one with a fire of fearful accuracy.
Facing Belgrade and Semendria, the
river bank was often one long, con-
tinuing line of flame, but the capture
of the hills behind the two places
named was also a frightfully expen-
sive business.
Every one had to be revered with
dead to be won, and after twelve days'
of violent onslaughts l,fackensen had
succeeded in obtaining little more
than a foothold on the southern side
of the river. On the Trina front he
found his task equally heavy. Time
after time the attacking forces were
driven back with appalling losses.
"Captain Milanomanoviteb, who
was wounded in that region, told me
, that in the encounter in which be was
wounded the Germans launched 500

"To' obtain a footing at Zabridjie
three attacks were necessary. All
these efforts resulted in heavy losses
to the Germans and compelled Mack-

reinforcements.

city, the huge shells throwing up de-

with the Serbian army in

Wolvei War.
s n
History tellr that on Napoleon's
fatal retreat from Moscow the wear-
ied troops were constantly harassed
by hungry wolf -packs. Now it is said
that wolves have gathered from their
fastnesses in the forests of Poland
and South Russia to gorge upon the
battlefields of the eastern front.
Seine time ago an officer gave a
graphic description of the long lines
of wolves stealing from the coverts
at nightfall;Fpassing within a few feet
of him as he lay wounded. He said
that the sight of their gaunt forms,
dimly limned against the dark sky, as
they busied themselves with their
ghastly feast, would never be effaced
from his mind.
Referring to the movements of
wild boars, M. Cunisset-Carnot states
that by the middle of August, when
heavy cannonading was proceeding
along a vast tont in Northern
France, rumors of strange occur-
