and he said the war could not be finished
for year yet, as it was such difficult
war, the country so large, and the kopjes
so impregnable. Indeed, If for kopjs
you write bare easy hill, for kloof a bare
glen, for krantZ an easy cliff, and get rid
of all the jargon OF drifts and poort5
(Which are fords and ferries) and dongas
and sluits (which are simple raEines which
child should see), you will see that the
men have been counting on the English
press being stage-struck with their words,
which mean nothing. If our men got rid
Of their wagons and took to the hills like
the Beers, they would come across them
easy enough. An old Boer said to me
once that, if two men go after one an.
other and one never gets on road and
the other never leaves it, they are not
likely to meet unless by chance in a fog
they knock against each other.
At the stations the military fill the
hotels and take up the waiting rooms,
and ordinary travellers like me live on
platforms, though the military all have
tents, but they ind the hotels easier. At
- the hotels are full to choking of mill
itary men, and champagne and Stilton

prisoners. They all say if no mercy wers
shown on either side the war would soon
end. We feed their wives. and they feed
and soothe all our men. who hand them
over their guns and horses, and so the
war drsgs on. Wherever you go you see
slackness, slackness, slackness, and the
military make up for it by being terribly
severe with civilians and friends about
passes, etc. They commander the horses
Of loyalists, and play polo on them, or let
their wives ride them, until the lOyaIists

Nebraska's Rabbit Plague.
(NeW York Sum-

| The farmers of west Nebraska are suf-
| fering from the depredations of jack rab-
bits which have lately appeared in thar
part of the State. Fruit trees and Win.
ter wheat have especially been injured.
last Summer the rabbits multiplied
with surprising rapidity. There were no
heavy rains TO drown the young and the
extreme heat caused them to grow rap
idly. The old rabbits in many cases pro-
duced three and four litters, each brood
numbering from six TO eight healthy young
rabbits
The disappearance of the coyote is an
other factor connected with the present
plight of the farmer. The coyote preyed
on jack rabbits. But there was a bounty
for coyote scalps, and. besides. the animals
were the enemies Of the sheep owners.
SO coyotes have been thinned out And
now the jack rabbits flourish and increase
in number.
In the eastern part of the State the rab-
bits have made no noticeable increase,
but in the central and western regions
their increase has been alarming.
Jack rabbits are the pests which will
give the farmer the most trouble for the
next couple of years." said Prof. Law
renee Bruner, head of the Department OF
Entomology at the State University II
have just returned from an extended trip
in the western part OF the State and was
surprised at the number of jack rabbits
L saw.
Il know of no rapid plan of extermina-
ting them. Organized hunts and raids
number of rabbits killed often does not
repay the efforts made by the farmers"
Two species Of jack rabbits infest Ne
braska. They are commonly known as
black tails and silver tails. There Is no
difference in their size. food or habits.

REAVER TAIL SOUP.
A Michigan Lumber Camp Delicacy That
Amazed Marylander.

although | am a Marylander, and an
Eastern Shore one at that" said Chaun-
cey +. Raynor, "and consequently know
what good things to eat are, want to
tell you that III have to take off my hat
to the lumber camp cook of the upper
Michigan peninsula IS the discOyerer
fabricator and dispenser of a dish that
knocks the Eastern Shore cuisine silly.
And that rare lumber camp dish is beaver
tail soup.
Il was with Col. Park. of Columbus.
Ohio, deer hunting in the Rainy Lake
region of Michigan one Fall. We lived
at lumber camp boarding shanty.
There were signs of beaver at the
upper end of the lake, and a trapper sue
ceeded in trapping one Of the willy dam
builders.
when the beaver was brought into
camp the camp cook went nearly wild.
And so did the lumbermen when they
heard the news. All because they had
been trying TO trap a beaver for weeks;
not for its fur, but for its tail, as they
were pining, they said, for beaver tail
soup.
The cook took that broad appendage
Of the beaver, mailed like an armadillo,
took from it the underlying bone and
meat, and from it made such a soup as
never came from any other stock, at the
beck of the most expert and scientific chef
that ever put a kettle on.
We could do the same thing, and per
haps better, on the Eastern Shore, but
we lack one thing. We haven't got the
beavers to yield US their tails"
