Rabbits are playing hob with New

crease has overrun the country with the
pests introduced by patriotic English

dollars worth of property are BEING
destroyed annually. Crops are feasted
upon, streams are DISTRACTED, and in
some places the devastation has been so
great that farmers have been driven
from their farms. From > 5000, 600 to

the DENVER EXPOSITION.

What could be done by admirable en-
ergy, backed by plenty of means, has
been done by the managers of the ex-
position in Denver toward making ii a
popular attraction. They have erected
a fine building, and have given to ex-
hibitors ample room to show their goods
and minerals. They have also added
features calculated TO draw the people,
as to a show. The work has been lone
on a scale commensurate with the posi-
ton assumed by Colorado, as a state
Astounding in wealth, and assured of
the benefits of advertising it. The ex-
position may be looked upon as especi-
ally meeting the needs of men operat-
ing or interested in mines. They can
there study the possibilities of their
business ventures; they can learn what
kinds of minerals are offered them by
the various states and territories, and
promised. In this respect Wyoming
may expect to profit in some measure
by the exposition. Her mines, but few
in number, and it may be said almost
wholly undeveloped, are represented
well enough to convince mining opera
tors that in this territory much valua-
BILE mineral awaits their efforts at de-
veloping it. In conjunction with what
is now being lone in this neighborhood
at mining, the Wyoming exhibit will
tend to draw the attention of the de-
sired class of men to the mineral re-
sources of the territory. Doubtless
whatever expense was incurred in send
ing it to Denver will be paid ten-fold at
at once in the information it imparts to
the visitors to the exhibition interested
in mines and mining.

Female Spoilers.

Some of the railroads in the, North and
West, it is stated, are employing female
"spotters. - Often these spoilers are
very pretty girls, and after boarding a
train, and when the conductor comes
around to collect fare, the "spotter -
suddenly discovers that she has lost her
pocket-book, containing her ticket and
all the money she had. She shows con-
siderable distress, sobs violently, and
begs the conductor not to put her off the
train. The conductor sees a very pretty
girl in very great deal of trouble, and
he In manly way grants her request and
allows her to ride free.
The spotter reports the conductor,
giving the number of his train, for dis
obeying the order not to allow any one
to ride without showing ticket, a pass,
or paying the exact amount of fare, and
he, poor fellow, gets discharged without
any explanation whatever
The Racket is informed that pop
ular conductor on certain line running
into Cincinnati was discharged because
he allowed a very poor and sick woman
with a child in her arms to ride free.
The supposition is that the action of the
big-hearted cord-puller had been noted
by "spotter,' and a report made to
headquarters. However, it is highly
probable that the woman was the real
informant. The employment of female
" spoilers is an action which no respect
able railway corporation should be guilty
Of, for the reason that no matter how
DESTROYS conductor is to enforce strictly
the rules of his company, he cannot, I'M
less he be brute, resist the fearful APP
peals of woman who is apparently in
great distress.-NeoO Orleans Times.

Deep Apple Pie.

TO make plain pastry, mix together
lightly quarter of a pound of lard or
butter, a teaspoonful of salt, a pound of
flour and sufficient cold water to make a
paste stiff enough to roll out. One way
of mixing is to put these ingredients into
chopp1ng-tray, and chop them together
with large knife another is to make a
paste stiff enough to roll off the flour,
salt and water, roll it half an inch thick
spread quarter of the shortening over it.
1old 1t and roll it out again, and use
another quarter of the shortening, re-
peatmg this process until all is used the
pastry IS then ready for the making of
pies.
For deep apple pie, pare and slice
tart apples enough to fill a deep earthen
baking dish heaping full; line the edges
OF the dish an inch down with a strip of
pastry; put in the apples, sweeten them
TO taste, and flavor the pie with little
grated lemon rind or a little ground Gin
namon; cover the top with pastry wet at
the edges with cold water to make if ad-
here to the strips on the sides of tba
dish; cut small holes in the top ernst
brush 1t over with beaten egg, or with a
little sugar dissolved lin water, and bake
1t until the apples are done in a moderate
oven.

DesertiOnS From the Army.

Adjt. Gen. Drums annual report shows
that during the fiscal year ended June 30
there were 6,181 discharges, 223 deaths,
and 3,741 desertions, making total loss
to the army of 10, 145 men. To offset
this loss there were 1921 new recruits as
signed and 1920 re-enlistments. The
terms of {, $40 men will expire during the
current fiscal year. While the number
of men discharged by sentence of court
martial is 10 less than during the pre-
vious wear. the number of re-enlistments
has fallen off 544 and the number of de-
sertions is !, $3.50 in excess. There are
now in the ranks 1853 men whose con-
tinuous service ranges from 10 to IS
years. while the number last year was
only 9. 1874. He shows that the falling
off in the number of re-enlistments is
limited to the class of men who have been
in the service one term only. The chief
cause of desertion, Gen. Drum thinks, is
the fact that the money value of clothing
drawn by the recruit after enlistment-a
large amount necessary -is charged
him on the rolls, and absorbing
his paw for months induces discomfort
and Testlessness. He therefore suggests
AN amendment to the statutes so as to
that the first complete outfit of
clothing to recruit be settled only at
the end of his first year of service. OF
the total number of enlistments during
the wear 1907 were native born and 1927
