.- unknowable to say, Il don't know
.u more about il than a rabbit" That
expression has now been consigned to
deserved oblivion, and those who would
follow George AIDE through the
labyrinths of modern slang must now
say, Il don't know any more about it
than a Belgian hare There's a rea-
son for this.
In the first place, common rabbit,
no matter how patrician his family
may be, isn't in it any more; his place
has been taken by a new tangled ami
NAL of similar proportions and appear
ance, but of distinctly more aristocrat-
ic bearing, over whom men have raved
and have spent small fortunes. That's
the Belgian hare, and fanciers of the
beautiful animal are to be found all
over the country. He has become
fad that almost amounts TO a craze.
Salt Lake has been subject to the
joyous delirium of raising and dOting
over Belgian hareS for only few
months 1t was in March OF this year
that the first of them were brought to
this city in any quantities. although
prior to that time there were one or
two fancieTs whose rabbitries con-

erS were among the elect who had the
hares here before the general public
began to know that there were such
animals in existence.
Only Fifty Tears Old.
This general ignorance of the ami
NAL and its very recent popularity are
excuse BILE when it is remembered that
the Belgian hare is but fifty years old.
He was not one of the animals which
Noah led. Iamb-like, into the ark. and
all the tradition of Biblical history is
as naught to him AS far as is known
at the present time. there was no such
an animal as a, Belgian hare on the
face of the earth when the sky broke
and the foods came. This is bad when
the hare begins to look up his anceS-
tors, but otherwise it's all right. for il
makes him an animal for the curious
as we'll as the pet lover and fancier.
It was in 1850 that the Belgian hare
Sprang into being as a living. breath
ing aCtuality. For some time prior to
his birth there was conjecture among
English fancierS of rabbits as to the
result of a combination of the English
hare and the Belgian rabbit. Both
of them were fine animals and it was
thought that a cross OF the stock
would result in a most ValUN,le ami

THE LOST HEART.

Back among the trees and treIIises along
the leaf-StreWn lane,
Sitting on the bank of the mill stream
and dreaming dreams again,
Drinking water, sweet as nectar from
the bucket at the well,
In the orchards leaf and silence, watch-
Ing windfalls as they fell,
Trying, here at five and thirty, Just to
be the boy Of ten,
To recall the joys of boyhood and forget
the cares of men,
But / listen to a lesson in the tyyftter ~
the wren:
When the boys heart turns to mans It
never throbs the same again.
Once the sun marks noon of lifetime.
once the morning steals away
once the shadows growing shorter, and
then fall the other way,
once the plaYtime ends at manhood once
the frolicking is done.
When the face is turned from dawning
to the setting Of the sun,
You may sit among the flowers that you
plucked and threw away,
Turn the leaves of Time ali backward
try to read them as you may
You may kindle fires of Memory. you
may sit and watch the flame,
But there's something changed within
you that can never be the same.
You may lay aside the burden of your
troubles as you will
But your bent and Sunken shoulders tell
the story to you still,
The story Of the struggles and the trials
that are sealed
From the simple hearts Of children, AID
to men only revealed
eql 'p9III4s 81 qSIs Sql 'slInp MoIIos 0UL
sore hearts soothed are
The smarting wound is healed again. but
always leaves a scar,
The fire of youth burns only once ana
dies In its dead flame
The simple heart of boyhOod that car
never be the same.
So sit among the trelllses and trees and
wonder why,
Pure the air as in my bOyhOOd and an
blue the unlocked sky,
Fun the leaves as ever blowing, sweet
the bird songs and as free,
But the boys heart that thrilled to them
Is untuned and dead In me-
There's longing, longing, longing, speak
ing in a deep-drawn sigh,
For the heart that throbbed IN boyhood
clpudleSS as the azure sky,
For the heart that was the sunlight and
the air-that tongue nor pen
Can ever paint or picture-that l cannot
know again.

part whatever in the bombardment of the
Chinese forts at Taku.
The text of the decree OF the Chinese
board of war, made public recently by
Minister WI at Washington, shows clear
ly that much OF the existing trouble In
China Is due to the assault made by the
allied forces on the forts in question, and
that the presence of foreign soldiery has
had the effect of exciting the passions OF
the Chinese populace. No one who will
read that decree can fail to say that it
is very weak defense of the peculiar at
titude borne thus far by Chinese author
ity. But. even after conceding so much
regarding 1t. there remains the fact,
which cannot be gainsaid, that the ag-
gression of the foreigners at Taku, IL
which Admiral Kempf wisely refused to
take part, lies well at the bottom of the
serious situation which the European ma
tons with their spheres Of influence are
now confronting.

for education, with millions of people at
home who are unable to read and write?
An uneducated man is not fitted for the
duties of high citizenship, such as the re-
pubic demands. And yet, with vast
uneducated mass in our own midst, we
are taking on vast responsibilities in dis
tant lands, assuming to rule peoples

by no thought of the real welfare Of the
people whom they seek to exploit, and in
sustainment of whose aggression every
so-called civilized government has shown
itself ready at moments notice to re-
sort to violence and bloodshed
The missionary has ever been the pio-
neer of Christian civilization. He has not
always been wise, and rarely worldly
man. He has gone to extremes often in
the assertion of his religious beliefs.
But the missionary has always been
able to win the confidence and respect Of
the races to whom he has gone, which
the trader and Spectator has rarely
been able to do. If the non-Christian
races only knew their Christian brethren
through their relationship with the mis-
sionaries, there would be a much higher
degree OF respect and confidence enter
tanned by them toward the Christian re-
ligion and its professors. But the mis-
sionary is soon followed, where there Is
a dollar to be made, by the modern COM

particular character occupies in the his
tory of the progress of Christian civiliza
ton is one which relates but little to
the spirit in which the missionary sur
renders all that makes life enjoyable in
the ehdeavor to promote the spiritual
happiness of those whom he goes among.
1t Is not against the religious teachings
Of the missionaries that the Boxers are
in revolt. It is not those teachings that
arouse the patriotism of the Chinese race.
1t Is against the gospel of greed which Is
being preached by the nations of Europe
in their effort to get control of the mate
rial wealth Of a rich and populous land.
Were it not for the labors and sacrifices
Of Christian missionaries the races who
are now invading China might yet be
bowling and unbreeched savages, in COM
parison with whom even the coolie China
men might be regarded as civilized be-
ings.

ABUSING THE MISSIONARY.

1t was quite natural that the Christian
missionary in China should by this time
have come In for his share of abuse in
connection with the tragic events of the
past few weeks, and that a certain radf-
cal element Of society should be heard
holding him responsible for the blood
that has already been shed, for the COM
mercial greed which has found express
sion and for the events. whatever they
may prove to be, which will follow i'm
mediately on the occupation Of the coun-
try by European nations
The truth is that the missionaries repre-
sent, and have always represented. all
that IS humane and ennobling in the at
titude borne by the militant races toward
those whose countries they have taken
by conquest or whose affairs they have
controlled through the agencies of trade
and commerce. The last 'dispatcb re-
ceived from Minister Conger shows at
what a fearful hazard of personal com
fort and safety the Christian missionaries
have engaged themselves in the propaga-
ton of the faith among the Chinese. In
history there are no examples of human
heroism that will compare with those Of
the men who have borne the gospel of
Jesus Christ to the savage or the I'M
Christian races.
When men exploit other races mere
~ for what money can be gotten
out Of them, as the Chinese have been
exploited from the beginning, and as orr
own national administration chooses
now TO treat the natives of the Orient
who have been brought under our con-
troll, there is but one dominating idea
among them: That Is, that any circum-
stance or condition which may prevent
or make more difficult or expensive the
realization of their chief purpose-tbe
acquisition Of commercial gain-is to be
condemned, and all who are in anywtse
identified with it must be upbratded
There is a feeling that the missionaries
iE China have aroused the special hos

fairs. Hence. of course. the missionaries

OUR OBSOLETE FIELD ARTILLERY

OUR OBSOLETE FIELD ARTILLERY.
The inefficiency Of the military organi-
zaton Of the United States, viewed In
the light Of modern requirements, was
clearly demonstrated the other day when
the war department decided not to send
a force of field artillery to China. II ts
admitted that effective, modern artillery
was never more useful in warlike onera-
lions in the field than 1t is TODAY. esne-
cially IN making initial attacks. But 1t
was found that the artillery arm of the
United States army is absolutely de-
fcfent in proper field equipment. The
ordnance Is twenty years behind the
times, and is not comparable with the
field artillery in use by European ma
tons, or with that employed by the Chi
nese. In fact. a battery of United States
field artillery would never be able to use
their guns against the Chinese, for thew
could not get within range without being
annihilated
1t would seem proper that, If the United
States is to maintain its dignity as a
great nation and take part in the punish
ment to be melted out to China for the
massacre of American citizens, the means
for infficting such punishment should be
provided. For a government SO bent ON
military ACKNOWLEDGMENT as that of Pres
ident Mckinley, 1t Is culpable negligence
not to provide the army with modern
weapons

a practical and conclusive manner the
problem Of preventing war. So terrible
had modern engines of destruction be-
come. said the scientists, that war would
be impossible In the future and universal
peace would prevail.
Well! Here we are with dozen or
