In; his ptH-li before the Chicago Conference on Trusts, fkptemljer 10, 18:f.r, William Jennings ISryau said: -One 'trust magnate may be iuore lHiH;volent thau another, but tlK-re is no good uionoiolj 1n private hands and I do not believe it In safe for any man or group of men to monopolize any article of merchaudise.t or aiy branch of Industry."

October 10th, 1m asked in bis .speech at Nashville, M U-higau: , lo you know of auy good monop oly in private bauds?

Hunters and trappers usually locate In some habitation and use it as a central jsiint from which they search game, trav eling on snow shoes. Even when a long journey is necessary, tlie old. ox iKTienecd -trapper, whiom thinks of taking a tent with him. but trusts to luck to tind a tig, hollow tree for the night. Such trees are common In cer tain scctbuis of the Canadian Rtk-lcles. Th"- are' all old aud have only a thick oiuir shell. An old oak. six ftvi in 'I'jMmter, affords an admirable place to bunk, provided the opening is not too kirge. Tlie exiHTk-nced hunter al ways bsks for a hollow tree with the opening into It down close to the ground, as this prevents the tiosibility of a wild !east climbing In on ton of hiu?. Sometimes the man finds tlie fl olhiw trte already o-cupiod Iy a liear or a catamount, which lie must fight or bunt auotl'r. tree. If nightfall is already well advamreil there b gener ally a light, as hollow trees are hard to find 'lit the dark by even the most ex lericnc.d hunters, and in most eases the man gets the tree and the skin of tbe wild Iwasr, too. "When the hunter bus completed bis work le builds a fire in tlie snow, not far from the boh In the tree, cuts a piece of meat front his vanquished foe. ami prepares his wnpper. And never does man partake of a mea amid more solemn surroundings. Th air Is still, and no sound breaks Ui sl- 1-tice ex"tit the crw-king of the ice on the sket--oiereI twigs.
