If you have ever seen n little colt
running after his mother in the mead
ows you know how very funny he
looks. He has long legs that seem very
crooked and uncertain, for they point
in all four directions at once. He has
no manc to speak of. and only n stubby
little tall. His coat is very rough. for
he has never been rubbed down with n
brush. and though you might look at
him great many times. you would
never believe that he could grow into
such a big, strong, handsome horse as
his owner tells you that he will become
some day.
The most important day in colts
life is when he first learns to carry
burden upon his back small lap
robe is strapped upon him, and he is
let loose, to tear up and down the fields
and shake it OFF If he can. Then
double blanket is strapped across him
like a saddle, and after while he can
bear the weight of the saddle itself.
and then the weight of a boy. Shooting
him is very troublesome. for he often
refuses to walk after it. and Will roll
around on his back, holding his feet up
in the air in the most pitiful way, as If
he did not know what to do with his
new shoes. Teaching him to back" is
accomplished by hitching team to the
back of the wagon to which Mr.. Colt
is harnessed. At the word back some
one starts up the team from behind ard
Mr. Colt is"backed" until he learns the
use of the word. His training is not
very pleasant for him. But II he is

Minnesota farmers and others who
have thought of investing In Belgian
hares would do well to read the follow
ing from the San Diego (Cal) Sun OF
Sept. 1:
Belgian hares. their haunts and
sion before the board of supervisors
this morning. and some startling stor-
les were told concerning the marvellous
fecundity of the rabbits and their de-
structive qualities where gardens AMI
orchards are concerned. The Belgian
hare fad struck Southern California
about a year ago. Los Angeles. as
usual, being the chief storm center.
Six months ago the furore was at its
height, fancy imported hares being
bought and sold in Los Angeles and
Pasadena for as high as $1,000 each.
Soon whole avenues were lined with
signs announcing Belgian hares for sale
at prices from $40 up. Then 1t dawned
on the rabbit fanciers that Belgian
hares were great multipliers and that
the market for rabbit meat was not
unlimited. Then came the crash of a
bursted boom, and the whole hare busl-
ness fell to the ground with dull.
sickening thud. Now you can buy Bel
gian hares in Los Angeles for any old
price, and If you don't want TO pay
anything you can have the hares for
nothing. 1t Is the same here In San
Diego. Already many breeders are pre-
pairing to turn their rabbits loose on
the country. as they cannot sell them
at any price, and the fear has become
general that II this is done the coun-
try will be literally overrun within
five years. Supervisor Griffin reported
that one woman near Encinitas has
three hundred which she intends to
liberate, and several other examples
We're given. 1t appears that the favor
lite food of the Belgian hare Is the
tender bark of young fruit trees. and
II the hares are not exterminated the
fruit trees will be. The supervisors
therefore passed an ordinance compell-
Ing all owners of Belgian hares to keep
the animals strictly confined, fixing the
penalty for turning them loose at not
less than 500 nor more than $780,"
A writer in Farm and Fireside adds:
"And that's where the Belgian hare
fad has got to in California, and that
is where 1t will soon get to all over the
country, except. probably. in the ex-
IRENE North. ! have opposed this fad
all along because / consider the Belgian
hare the equal in fecundity of the Eng
lish sparrow, and likely to become a
thousand times more destructive to
fruit, vegetables and grain If turned
loose on the country. as 1t is certain
to be when the fad expires. In the
southern part of Illinois I have seen
large orchards of apple trees stripped
of bark to height of two feet by our
common rabbit. And the damage was
all done in two nights. Wherever the
common rabbit abounds every orchard
list is obliged to provide protection Of
some sort for his trees"

A Noted cbinese .sfafesman.

A noted Chinese statesman recently
beheaded by order of the dowager en-
press because of his too liberal views
was well known in diplomatic circles
at Washington, as he had served as
minister from his country to the
United States from 1886 to the latter
part of 1889. He was Chang Yen
Hoon. His death occurred last July,
but the outside world became aware
of the fact only few days since.
Chang was an able diplomat and
we'll thought of in official circles. He
was a pronounced antiquarian, and
while in this country made many Wis
its to the Metropolitan Museum OF Art
in New York, where he could study
its rare collection OF priceless antlqui-
ties. Especially on the specimens
from his native land was he an au-
thority, and his information In con-

to the antiquarians of the United
States. memento Of his visit to

There was held near Galesburg. ILL.,,
recently, a celebration in honor OF the
ninetyfirst anniversary of the birth
of John T. Barnett. or Squire Barnett,
as he is generally known. 1t took
place at the log home west of Gales
burg, and many descendants from
Knox and Warren counties were pres

A peculiar interest attaches to the
life of Mr.. Barnett, for he was one Of
the young men friends of Abraham
Lincoln. who was a few months his
senior.
The squire says that Lincoln and he
were often together. and that, although
he thought much of Lincoln. he never
voted for him but once, and that was
when he ran for the legislature against
Peter Cartwright. He recalls many
pleasant incidents. When he first be-
came acquainted with Lincoln the lat

PosDers ASrec on China.

The agreement between Great Brit,
ain and Germany on common Chi
nese policy is accepted by the United
States and Russia as pledge rather
than as a guide to their own action.
In responding our government simply
assents to principles which it was the
first to formulate, namely, the prin
ciple of the open door and the prin-
ciple of the preservation of Chinese
territorial and administrative entity.
Under the circumstances an assump-
ton of leadership on the part of the
two contracting powers would be
absurd, and we have only to reaffirm
our own views without giving prom

He had fought with distinction in the
Mexican war, and the outbreak of the
civil war found him in ST. Louis a
prosperous lumber merchant. He took
sides with the confederacy and for
two years served in that cause. The
principal incident in his civil war ca
reer was his defense of Camp Jackson
in this city and his surrender in May,
1861. to the federal troops under Gen
eral Lyon. The state militia had been
called together for their annual drill
and were encamped under Frost on
the outskirts of the town. Before
they could find an opportunity active
ly to express their sympathies with
the south they were captured by the
home guards and the Missouri volun-
teers. After the close of the war

pleasant mannered son of India. He
had been at the hotel several times be
fore. always ordered the best, and
paid his bills without complaint. On
this occasion he paid for his room in
advance and seemed to have plenty
of money. When he was ready to de-
part, however, he coniided to Clerk B.

not ask 10 borrow money. but when he
mentioned that he had friends in Bal
