SUPERIOR. Neb., Jan. 1S.-(Special.)-The
great interest that has been manifested in
mining throughout the state induced The Bee
correspondent to interview some prominen,
Nuckolls county business men, who have
just returned from a visit to some Of the

ritory visited was Clear Creek and Gilpin
counties, in which are located some Of the
Oldest, deepest and most valuable mines in
that state. In this rich territory is the new
camp of Pine Creek. forty-fve miles from
Denver, and is reached by stage from Cen
trail City, a distance of seven miles. The
new camp is situated on Washington, Col
orado, Michigan, Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho
and California hills, at an elevation of from
5000 to 1000 feet, all of which are near
the base of James peak, which towers above
the camp at an altitude Of IA, 242 feet. This
camp was opened up about May, 1895, and
today boasts of many fine mining properties,
prominent among which are the Gold Stand
ard, Plateau, Liberty-schultz's Wonders,
Sweet Home, Boomerang-Lillian Group
High Protection, Magdalene, Becktell, David

Booster, Train Dispatcher, Mascot, Lucky

A River of Uncertain Mind.

If there is river that does not know it's own mind, the Wabash is that same rivulet. It winds about in tho lowlands. sometimes deep, sometimes shallow |; sometimes broad and again so narrow that we could set our paddles against the bank and pole along It seems to realize it's mission Is to run southwest and to try steadfastly to follow its des- tiny. But the spirit of vagaries seems to possess it, so that it bends about to the north and tries to find the chain of lakes Itstrikes out boldly for the west as if nothing less than the great Missis- sippi would satisfy its longings, and then it swings away to the left and glides over trailing moses, wooing the odors of the southland.
 Sometimes it runs through woodlands, where a fallen tree across its course drives canoe and voyagers to dry land. Sometimes the gravel grates against the yielding cedar wood and passengers must go overheard and follow, wading, till deeper water runs beneath the keel Sometimes the currents are swift and the paddles are scarcely needed, and again the waters spread out into dim bling lake, and we cross with two di- vergent lines running from the prow- the canoe at the point of @ prOstrate pyramid. d.-Leroy Armstrong in New Bohemian.

Who Shall Do Temperance WO1
"E. M." IN UNION SIGNAL.

Dear Union Signal: The question, ''Who shall do temperance work ?'' has lain on my heart heavily of late, and was forcibly impressed few days since while in eOnve1 sation with one of our local of- ficers. There was danger of a saloons being opened in a new and public place in our city, but it was prevented largely by petitions from churches and philan- thrOpic societies. One good sister, elated by the success of this venture, went to her minister to confer with him about pushing on to further work, but left his study feeling that she and others had al- most committed sin already. The pas tor had been seriously taken to task for the part he had played in the matter re- ferred to, and was unwilling to proceed further.
 l, Now ask in all earnestness, who shall do it? John c. Wooley said not long since that the churches relagated the tenn perance work to temperance societies, as we send our soiled linen to the laundry or something akin; and called it disloyaI to the spirit of the gospel to do so. Tru- ly, the W. c. T. U. as we'll as the church, was born of the Spirit of God and to me the work of practical benevolence and benificence seems to fall on each alike, but we find it, like many other questions, shifted from one shoulder to the other, until it finally drops to the ground and we pass on leaving it lying there. The church may say, "Leave 1t to the socie- ties," but if we ask ladies to join our un- ions the first objection that we meet with is, ''I have all can do in the church, and church work comes first" And yet, sometimes the foreign missionary society quite overlooks the work among foreign CTS the Lord has sent among us to be ministered unto, and am sorry to say very many of our ministers still grudge the energy, time and money expended by the sisters in the churches for the temper ance work, believing 1t to be so much drawn from church work. Will we ever come to see that legitimate church work and Christian work are identical that the money turned from the saloon goes into the proper channels of business, and a portion eventually into church cOffers, and that the same is true of the wealth in human character? Again 1 say, "Who shall do temperance work ?"

(Kate Lunden, in Union Stgnal) Not Yet, My Child!

How often in a storm Of righteous passion, Aroused by some dark scene of shameless
 wrong,
 My frantic prayers have scaled the walls of
 heaven
 With platntive cries of, ''Lord, how long, how
 long?
 In fearful silence waiting for an answer, My soul has heard a whisper low and mild; My eyes behold it, and my ears are open; shall avenge 1t, but not yet, my child" In starltt nights oft have stood enchanted, With bounding heart and almost reeling brain I've peopled worlds with beings of my fancy, And httched my chariot to OriOn's train; And then, ,anew, with thoughts and senses failing have exclaimed, ''When shall know?" And, trembling, heard the answer through the
 stiffness:
 ''Soon, restless chtld but yet the wings must
 grOw.'
 And when, in hours Of untold grief and s4lgufsh The sad-eyed Azrael fingered by mS Side, When, with look of mingled pain and pity, He cut the bonds which love and friendship
 tied, pleaded. "Take me, too, oh do not leave me !' But, gently pushing me aside, he smiled; "Go to thy task, and when 1t is completed I'll bear thee homeward, but not yet,my child '! listen and hear some voices calling, They're calling me, but whence do not know pause, bewildered, by the dusty roadside And plead: "My Father, tell me where to go !' Then do hear: ''Be still, / have not spoken; Impatient child, sit down awhile and rest Till thou hast learned to watt then will lead
 thee
 Upon the way which in my sight is best" SO,whtle on patience, ,hard-learnd lesson spelling I sit beside the path where others passed When they were sent to fields Of chosen labor Still wondering why have been kept he last I look upon the monday sun and measure The distance to the hills where it shall set, And with longing, burning heart listen, But only hear: "Not yet, my child, not yet !"

COME ANIMAL HUNTERS.
Strategy by Which California Coyotes Ran
 Down a Jack Rabbit.

SGEACegy ny w h1Ch C8111Orn18 COyOCeS Ran
 Down a Jack Rabbit.
 An Indian will often take a deer's trail, when deer are scarce, and follow it for days, preventing the deer from feeding or resting and making it so weary and careless that in the end he kills 1t by a shot at short range. Proba- bly, the Indians first learned to follow @ deer in this fashion from observing the habits of wolves, partners and other wild and tireless trailers of game.
 The coyote is not so strong @ wolf as it's big gray cousin in Maine and other wolf countries Nevertheless he has been known to run the jack rabbit down as surely as death, but in more expe- ditious way than the Maine animal adopted. Whether it is habit or not of the coyotes to run jack rabbits in pairs cannot be ~said for certain, but story was told some time ago in well known sportsman's paper which, being backed by similar story of English foxes has every appearance of being truthful.
 The two coyotes were seen to jump @ rabbit one day out in California on a mesa. One of the coyotes took after it on the dead jump, the other trotted to 8 near by rise and lay down, with its nose on it's paws, knowing that the rab- bit would surely circle Pretty soon along came the jack rabbit with the oth- CT coyote behind, both going full tilt. Up jumped the waiting coyote, and away it went after the rabbit, while the other dropped out of the chase and wait ed, as it's companion had done, to take the trail on the rabbits return. It was not long before the rabbit was exhaust ed by the strategy and endurance of both | the animals of prey and soon fell an easy victim to be eaten by both the hunters. .'..: ...,
 J. B. Bonnet of Brooklyn saw fox early one morning lying beside the open, narrow gate of rabbit proof fence that surrounded 40 acre plantation not fal from the Marquis of Queensberry' g game preserve in Scotland. Looking over into the inclosure, he saw another fox chas- ing the rabbits that had entered the open gate to get at the cabbages there. The rabbits-eight or ten of them-were headed for the gate and running like "cutty sarks !" When one plunged through the gateway, the fox lying alongside it leaped and had it by tht back of the neck in jiffy. Then the foxes tore the rabbit to pieces and Zen l joyed the feast like honest sportsmen. New York Sun. -. .....s....

Rural Franco.


 A traveller is especially struck with the fine roads in France, of which the people are justly proud. The govern ment keeps up perfect system of care and inspection, and wherever one goes he may be sure of finding the principal roads ill excellent condition. They are often bOrdered with trees for miles and are in a perfect state for bicycle riders.
 All the underbrush, small twigs and even the lower branches of the trees have been cut for firewood, and not a twig is wasted. All are gathered and tied up in bundles ready for use. Every foot of ground is cultivated, or so 1t seems to strangers There are noun tains and barren places where nothing will grow, but every bit of ground that can produce anything is made to do SO The winter is so mild south of the Loire that vegetables are fourishing in the gardens at all times There are, of course, certain seasons for the different ones, except the haricots verts (string beans) and the dwarf radishes. These are always in season, and the quantities eaten in France must be enormous
 The fields are not generally separated by fences or hedges. The dividing line is. however, clearly shown by the sort of grain growing in them. As most of the farmers keep Sheep the absence of fences necessitates the shepherd or the shepherdess-
 Wherever one sees a small number of sheep there is also to be seen a guardian with them. Alas, it is not the beautiful shepherdess of the poets and painters. suspect she never existed, except in the fertile brain of these artists
 In reality the shepherdess is often an old woman, who leads her flock from one spot to another, tranquilly knitting stocking while her sheep nibble the grass. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.
