The coIumbia-@The Ranger"

Mr.. Dustin Farnum, one of the ex-
pOnents OF rugged and romantic acting
on the American stage. win appear al
the Columbia Theater for one week, be-
ginning tomorrow night, with the usual
matinees. in the new Augustus Thomas
play. The Ranger" 1t deals with
Texas, but not with the Texas bad man
of sensational fiction, for its hero, Capt.
Esmond, is a sort % Davy Crockett, a
typical Texas ranger who jeopardizes his
lie by guarding the lives of others. As
the scene Of the action is along the Rio
Grande River. an opportunity is offered
for picturesque Mexican stage setting.
This Capt. Esmond, who is in COM
mand of body of border police. gets
himself into hot water when he pursues
a thief into Mexico and executes him.
On the heels Of this incident occurs a
strike IN the Gordo Iona mines. and 1t
becomes necessary for the captain to
take under his protection the mine su-
perintendent. Harrington; the mine own
CT. Osgood, and his daughter Dorothy.
1t is not the first meeting Of the captain
and Miss Osgood. Four years before
he had lassoed her from a bed of quick
sand and brought her 10 solid land in
anything but a graceful manner. She
was so angry about it at the time that
she slapped the captains face
The striking Mexican miners surround
Esmond and his charges in a corral.
There is a night of desperate resistance,
and then Esmond rides out, at the risk
or his life TO a distant town. where he
knows there is a force of United States
cavalry. He comes back without the
expected relief for the troop. fearing in
ternational complications, refuses 10 re-
spOnd After further resistance relief
comes in the shape Of a body OF Rurales
or Mexican police. Their assistance only
puts Esmond in an even more dangerous
predicament for he is put under arrest
for murder. His crime is the execution
or Mexican without authority on Mex
lean territory. He is also charged with
military invasion of Mexico.
The captain. who respects law and or
der, demands immediate trial. although
his rangers are ready 70 rescue him.
The complications grow, but they are
all disposed Of at last through Mr. Os-
good and the Mexican authorities. With
the restoration Of his freedom comes the
GROWING OF his love romance. for Dor
othy accepts him, her family having
agreed 90 overlook social differences.

young Posener, who volunteered for

Then, disguised as beggar, he
left the town, the sentries, to give
color to the ruse, discharging blank
cartridges at him as he fed. Taken
prisoner by the Germans, he was

Ants to Exte,ninate Rabbits.

The most curious plan yet pro-
posed for combating the rabbit pest
in Australia is the employment OF
ants, which was recently advocated
by the Journal of the Department of
Agriculture for Western Australia.
AS is known generally, the rabbit
has multiplied in parts of Australia
almost beyond mans comprehension,
so that it is difficult to raise many
crops, and resort must be had to
rabbit-proof fencing, poison-baiting,
etc. 1t is now proposed to introduce
from South America a red ant which
is not afraid to attack living animals,
especially the very young. Just how
large number Of these ants are
under observation in their native
habitat for the purpose of establish
ing their feeding habits so that no
mistake will be made in their intro
duction is not known The ant APP
pears to be an especially equipped
enemy of the rabbit, since its sub
terranean habits will make it easy
to enter the rabbits burrows and at,
tack the young "bunnies, which, it
is asserted, it can kill in twenty-four
hours.
