THE RETURN OF REGINALD.
Then Reginald,
Upon a stream of kisses breathed his
soul,
Freighted with argosies Of love, to roll
Upon the laughing i've of bliss, and
high,
Heavenward to float in purest ecstasy,
Driven by the zephyrs Of his Joy, all
blent
With perfumes from the garden Of CON
tent.
Her father heard,
And into his stout boots he breathed a
sole,
Freighted with argosies Of wrath, to roll
Reginald out through the open door
EarthWard to float in haste once more,
HeavenWard upon his blissful soul he
flew,
And back upon the sole OF q stout shoe.

We say farewell here in the twilight gray,
And hot tears glisten in thine eyes today.

Sweetheart, I go
Where glory vast await me and I know
You'll love me always, for you tell me so,

Sweetheart, 1 go!
Sweetheart, good bye!
My duty lies across the throbbing sea,
When war is over I'll come back to thee,
q wonder what her married name will
be?)

A COLLISION.

Yesterday morning about o'clock a

came up to the cart the driver grabbed

He pulled the wrong line. and the horse

The horse reeled, but did not fall.

composed of descendants of the Manchu conquerors and their allies, are supposed to number about 300, 900 men, but at present their number does not exceed S0OOO. The Ting Pig, or national army, is called also the Green Flags and the Five Camps, five being the unit of subdivision. This branch of the army consists of eighteen corps, one for each province, under the Governor, or Governor General. The nominal strength Is from 900 to 600,000 men, of which not more than 200,000 are now available for war. The most important contingent is the Tien Tsin corps
 Besides these forces there are mercenary troops raised in emergencies, and Mongo- Han and other cavalry, nominally about 100000 strong, really about 10000, but of no military value. The total land army, therefore, now figures at about S00,000, all though 100000 might be raised without very great trouble. On the other hand. however the army as whole has no unity or cohesion; there Is no proper discipline; the drill is mere physical exercise the weapons are long since obsolete, and there is no transport, commissariat or medical service.
 Of what use would such a force be if marched against the splendidly drilled and magniflcently equipped armies of the other countries? How long would such an army last before the fire of a combined army, the composition of which may be imagined by examination of the following table:
The age-herald., 1900-07-15

0Ore.
 The Chinese army consists of two di- visions, the eight banners of the Ying Ping. The eight banners nominally contain about 300,000 men, descendants of the Manchu conquerors and their allies. The number maintained on a war footing is from S0,- GOO to 100000. The whole force is sub-di- vided into three groups, consisting, respect lively. of Manchus Mongols and Chinese, and forms sort of hereditary profession, within which inter-marriage is compulsory.
 Until 1S43 any merchant manufacturer who wanted to sell his wares in China had to do so through native merchants at cer- tain ports, known as "hong merchants" They were located for many years only at Canton. In 17S4 the first American trading began, and continued through "hong mer- chants until 1S43, when the hong sys- tenn was abolished and the doors of China were partly opened for direct trade with about by the opium war between Great Britain and China, in 1S40 The treaty of 1Si2 opened Shanghai for commerce and res idence to British subects. and a similar treaty was made by the United States in 1S44 Canton was opened in 1859; other ports followed and in 1862 there were twelve treaty ports. These treaty ports, which are now frequently spoken of, were simply the doors through which the goods from other countries entered the empire The treaties stipulated that foreigners should have the right to live at these ports, but the privil- ege covered only a certain part of the place. This, 1t was stipulated, should be under the control of the foreigners resid- ing within it, and this rule has continued to the present time.

CHINA AGAINST
 THE WORLD
How Fighting of Celestial King dom Compares With Con-
 bined Forces of Nations

The idea of China's setting out to battle with and subdue the combined forces of the civilized nations of the world would be ridiculous if 1t were not so pathetic. Never before has the self-confdence of nation been so conspicuously displayed and the spectacle of the Empress, who was once a slave girl, boldly defying the world, is one that will not soon be forgotten
 Of course it is true that up to a few years ago the Chinese people looked upon their nation as invincible. To most nations the war with Japan would have been lesson; to most nations the affectionate re- gard of such powers as Russia, Germany and England would have been a warning to circumspection; but from appearances it would seem that China neither learned the lesson nor understood the warning.
 It is not so strange that ignorance in these matters should be displayed by the common people, but one who imagines that 1t has been the common people who have been the cause of these disturbances will have an incorrect view of the Eastern situation. It is the common people who have made the noise.
 In all probability it will be the common people who will suffer the penalties for all these acts when the day of reckoning ar rives; but in spite of all this, the powers realize that the common people have been no more than the innocent tools of spite ful and vindictive woman who has been great enough to seize the reins of a na- ton, but who has not yet been great enough to be able to realize her own power lessness and the insignificance of her own country.
 RUSSIA'S PART.
 Just what part Russia has played in this diplomatic misunderstanding is not easily fathomed mystery; just how far she is re-
