count given in the ADVANCE year or
two ago of the disappearance of Jabez

Of tho neighbors Of the uncle with whom
the young man lived suspected foul
play and the Coroner and County At
terney went at one time with view of
searching for the body in All old we'll
which had been filled up. y full &C
count Of this was published in the AD-
VANCE at the time. Afterwards we
published a letter from 4 brother of the

heard from HIM and that he was III CAL

satien at rest so far MS we know.

bez Bridges before Geo. Z. Knox, a
Notary of San Francisco, i" which ia
bez swears that no is alive and we'll,
and has been employed in The Glue
Works of that city for thres years

Glue Works, ais" swears that the young
man has been at work for him tor three
years. We are also shown !. letter from,
Jabez hi nself which indicates that he

Whether this resolution would hay -

Years Eve Arthur got lesson which
alone would have changed the entire

On his way home from work he had

7'n3 Polar Hare.

! Far away - the north OF lis stretches
land white with snow during most Of
the year. where bleak winds i'll unob-
structed fury sweep over deserted
wastes; where night hangs Ike Il SOM
bre cloud for months and months IN
broken, and where the crystal noun
tains called icchergS are born. There
l. the home OF the polar hare. There,
where man aimlcsslv wander, in n vain
search Tor food or shelter. this dalntT
creature thrivc>.
Strangely enough, however. ii some
times happens that men are ovcrtaken
by starvation in the midst Of numbers
OF polar harcS. This is because the
little creature has Il peculiarly which
makes it difficult for the inexperienced
hunter to shoot il.
When approached il seems to have
no fear at all, but sits up, apparently
waiting for the coming hunter. Just,
however, rs the probably hungry man
begins to finger the trigger Of his gun
and to eat in anticipation the savory
stew, the hare turns about and bounds
actively away to a safe distance, and
once more rising on its launches, sits
with a provoking air of seeming I'M
consciousness until the hunter is again
nearly within gun-shot. when ii once
more jumps away.
Notwithstanding, however. the APP
parent impossibility of approaching
near enough to the hare to shoot it.
there is in reality very simple way to
accomplish it. The plan is practiced
by the natives, who no doubt have
learned ii after many Il hungry failure.
1t consists in walking in 4 circle around
the animal, gradually narrowing the
circle until within the proper distance.
Simple as this plan is. it is so effective
that, with care. the hunter may get
within fifty yards of the hare, which
seems completely bewildcred by his
circular course.
Perhaps the sad story OF the heroic
suffering and final loss of Captain DE
Long and his brave comrades might
never have had to be told, had it not
been for their probable ignorance of a
matter of no more importance than this
of how to shoot polar hare. When
they left their ship, the ''Jeannettc,
they took with them only rifles. think
ing, no doubt, that they would fall in
with only such large game rs bears.
reindeer, and wolves.
As matter of fact. such large ami
mails were very scarce, while ptarmi-
Gan, u species of grouse, were plentiful,
and would have supplied food in album
dance to the whole brave band had
there been shotguns with which to shoot
them. As it was, the rifles brought
down but few of the birds, and thus,
in the midst of comparative plenty, the
brave fellows starved. Il. CoryeU,
in 50. Nicholas.
