Hated by Australia.

In the early days of Australian set tlement--just when nobody can say some well meaning emigrant sailed from old England. taking with him, among his most cherished possessions, 8 couple of pairs of rabbits. probably the pets of his children. The name of that pioneer is not chrOnicled in Aus a. most worthy mana man whose life and works in the country of his adop- ton might very well have earned for his memory the greatest respect and regard, but nothing he did or could have done would be sufficient to wipe out his terrible blunder. His name, whatever it may have been. is anathe- ma; his memory isN vile; his folly un- forgivable.
 This pioneer may have had the best intentions in the world. When Aus tralians speak of him they admit that possibility. but in their anger they re- his heinous conduct. They are ready to believe that in England the rabbit is harmless They know that in Eng land bunny is carefully protected in game preserves and is regarded as a delicacy for the table of the rich. They know that it is a. serious offense for unauthorized persons to kill or steal rabbits from an English game preserve and that not so very many years ago no greater offense than this: but when they see their Australian farms or grazing lands denuded of every vestige of herbage by hordes of hungry rab- bits, the progeny of those first two pairs, they curse loud and long. They then go out and slay millions of the pest by poison and suffocating fumes.
