CATCHING WILD ANIMALS.
How Carl Hagenbeck Obtains His Supply
for the Geological Parks

The greatest animal dealer in the world is
Carl Hagenbeck, who lives at Stelllngen, sub
urb of Hamburg. Here be purchased al
most any wild animal IN existence. Asked
Gently how he managed to keep up his stock
Mr.. Hagenbeck replied, says THE Montreal
Standard: From my depots. l have depots
everywhere-six in Asia, three in Africa. several
in Europe. two in America, well depots in
Siberia I have over sixty travellers working
for all the time whose sole business is to
collect animals and ship them TO me here They
employ thousands of natives to help them. Then
I buy up everything that into HAMBURG
and 1 may say that If anybody abroad wishes
to dispose of his animals he invariably writes
to me-"
The next step is TO telegraph TO an agent in
the neighborhood who inspects the stock with
view to purchase. For instance. continued
Mr.. Hagenbeck. 1.-The other day l received a let
ter from a resident in Rhodesa saying he had
got large collection of African deer and birds
and wished to get rid OF them. W1thin three
they are now the way to Hamburg. l have
at present several travellers on the way home
some of them with very large consignments of
animals. Next week expect one of my men

Not believe in Santa Claus! You

Did you ever see the fairies dancing

You might get your papa to hire

Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus,

Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world

unseen and unseeable in this world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle

merce, mines and mining, five civiliz-
ed tribes, irrigation, naval affairs

quest he was left off the committees

handcutfS when ne finds that some
body steals? He goes to the couD-
try and makes speeches and destroys
the confidence Of the people, but we
do not find him putting anybody in
prison. -
He referred to a resolution he had
introduced in the senate year ago
for an inquiry into the failure Of
the bank Of which John R. Walsh, of
Chicago was the president, but a
year and a half had gone by before
the trial had begun. As Walsh is
under trial, he said, he would not
comment further on that subject.
He had on Saturday telegraphed the
dictrict attorney in New York asking
about recent bank failures, but that
official replied that he could not give
out the information regarding the
investigation that is being made.
~ expected to be put off," de-
clared the senator. "That seems to
be the policy Of the department Of
justice and the treasury depart
ment.'
Mr.. Tillman said he only intended
to bring these matters before the
committee on finance as questions
for them to answer. When they
should answer them, he said, he
would ask more questions.
