"A CHANCE FOR THE ARBITRAToRs
The arbitrators as public men, MIR. Rodier
said, could not afford to take any other than O
just and equitable view of the case.
MIR. Rodier pictured the opportunities which

out of the newspapers tor two years to come;
that will be after the presidential election and

He would admit for himself that he was mak-
Ing living. but only u bare living; he wanted
more; he wanted something OF the profits Of his
labor.
The printers, he said, asked not for mercy,
justice because they had not the power to de-
mand it. They had that power, and the news

A SMART PROFESSOR.
How He Compelled the Postmaster-Ge
eral to Yield to His Request.

How He Compelled the Postmaster Gen
eral to Yield to His Request.
When the rich mineral district of
Vulture, A. T., was developed, large
mining camps were established,
tllronged with enterprising prospect
ors, and all went well save the supply
of mail matter, which came to hand
only once week. Petition after petit
ton was forwarded to Washington
urging the necessity of increasing the
mail supply, but the department,
was deaf to all entreaties, and made
no reply whatever to the re-
peated demands. Every body was
in indignant despair, when Prof.
George A. Treadwell, noted
mining engineer, undertook the APP
parently impossible task of securing
daily mail.
The professor went to work deliber-
ately to prepare supply of tin and
wooden boxes, and at each outgoing
mail forwarded to the Postmaster-Gen-
eral the finest obtainable samples of
Arizona products of horned toads, liz
ards, centipedes, scorpions and, taran-
