An Ingenious Beartrap.

The Mexicans in California had an
ingenious method Of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece Of meat was nailed TO
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From Il limb five or six feet above
a rope was suspended, TO the end OF
which large stone was made fast so
tbnt II hung about six inches above ana
. .tritie nearer the trunk than the meat
on the lower limb.
When IA bear smelled the meat from
sfar. he would climb up the tree ana
make his way to the bait. In doing
SO he would push the stone pendulum
Ia one side. Just as he was about 10
fasteu his teeth In the meat the stone
would swing back and bang bis head.
This would arouse the anger or the
bear. and he would give the stone
sweep of his paw which would send
II swinging farther out. Inc cohse-
nuence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more be struck the stone
tho harder he would he hit in return
until from ferocious anger he wouid

RIGHT / lei + TO | 0 USE 81: T. I
and TO ABUSE.

- The attitude of the hard coal proprie-j
tors in their controversy with their en-.
ployes inevitably raises the question:
whether the private ownership of their
property carries with it the right to use
their property exactly as they please.
In other words, is their right the right
to abuse as we'll as to use?
The anthracite trust appearsto take;
that position. It has practically reduc-
ed to private control the entire supply
of anthracite 1t is absolute master Of
an important part of the foundation of
all industry. It is absolute master of
one Of the necessaries of life to mil
lions. Yet, because it does not like.
the terms demanded by those whose
assistance it must have in order to use
it's property, it refuses to use it. at ALL.
It sits back and refuses to supply with
a necessary of: life the people from
whom it derives every right it possess
es. 1t practically asserts the right to-
use, to destruction Of the public, an
ownership derived from the public.
E. The coal trust cannot plead that it
will sustain any loss by ceasing thus to
abuse its property. No matter how
high wages it might pay the miners, it
could always get those wages back
from the public. Being in absolute and
undisputed control Of the supply of an
thracite, the trust can charge any price
/ it pleases that the public is able to pay
at all. And the very highest demands
ever made by the miners have not even
approximated* what the public is able
and willing to pay rather than be: de-
prived Of, anthracite COAL -
In thezlight of these notorious facts,
what excuse has the coal trust for re-
fusing to come to agreement with the
coal miners? 1t evidently has no ex-
cuse at all, unless the right of private
ownership carries with Eit license to
abuse. as8 we'll as@tosuse the property
owned. Yet: the right to abuse is not
conceded to other private ownerships.
If a!member of the coal trust maintain
a nuisance at his own dwelling, he may
be punished until he ceases to- abuse
his right. If he maltFeat his child, he
may be sent to Jail if necessary to stop
the abuse. # he blockade the highway
with his carriage, or frighten another's
horse, he may be prevented from thus
abusing his right of private property.
Why should the right of private own
ership in coal mine be greater thar
the same right in house, or carriage
or coat? The coal trust virtually as
serts that it is greater-that it's right
of private ownership in coal mines is
not only to have and to hold and te
use, but also to abuse.
| And by that assertion the coal trust
raises an issue as to the limits of tht
right Of private ownership which every
owner of house, or carriage, or ever
of spare coat, must regret to SCI
raised. For when that issue is pressed
the entire theory of the right of private
property, upon which all our civiliza
tion rests, is called In question ant

have put him in possession of even tn
smallest surplus above the days need

present the spacious ball room Of the
embassy was transformed into a ban
quet hall. The walls were hung with
garlands of smilaX and also decorated
with the imperial cOlors, and those Of
the various states of Germany.
Tall palms and ported plants occu-
pied the recessos and all about was
prOfuSion of roses, orchids and spring
flowers. Beautiful garlands of ferns,
lilies of the valley and sweet peas were
hung about the portraits of the en-
peror and the empress.
