Tree Fences.

In his book on Newfoundland p. L.
McGrath has this, to say Of the Beothic
Indians: 'They felled trees to form
fences to stop the caribou in their an
nual migration and head them toward
the rivers, where they could more eas-
fly kill them. Travellers who subse-
uuently came upon these fences say
they often extended thirty or forty
miles and were most ingenious In their
construction, the trees being cut 80
that they fell on one another and their
branches being then interlaced In such
a fashion as made 1t impossible for the
deer to escape"

Chicago June 1s.-"I'm a better war
rior than a prophet" said Colonel
Roosevelt when he was asked his
opinion of the outcome of the conven.
tinn. That was all he would say to-
night.
Mr. Roosevelt directed his own bat
lie In the convention hall over teIe-
phone wire Hidden away in a room
in his hotel, he spent most of the
time with a receiver at his ear, lis
toning to reports of Ills lieutenants
and issuing orders in person. The
wire over which Colonel Roosevelt
gave his directions had no connection
with any switchboard. Arrangements
than Colonel Roosevelt and the man
a the Coliseum end of the wire could
by any chance overhear the converse
tions.
When the convention had adjourned
the Roosevelt leaders fastened back
and began series of conferences with
their chief. Colonel Rcosevelt's aEso-
ciates predicted confiden,ially that the
fight would be won, although they
guarded carefully the plans for to-
morrow which were framed at to-
lights conferences Tney had with
them tables of figures based on to-
days developments. which showed to
their satisfaction that they could not
be beaten. Colonel Roosevelt, they
said. was pleased with the showing
made on the first day.
After the dinner hour throng des-
oended on the Roosevelt headquarters.
BY o'clock the corridors and lobby
of the hotel were flied with a solid.
struggling mass OF men and women.
