CHAPTER XII.

After all the despairings on the
score of the lost treasure, it had come
TO light in the final half hour of the
voyage; had not been disturbed, as
the finding proved. Some sudden jar
had shifted the cargo of coffee, clos
ing the Granny into which the treas
ure had been thrust, and opening an
other one.
With the prize once more in hand,
Griswold had a return of the levitant
joy which had thrilled him in the
earliest moment of success. Once
again he was on fighting terms with
the world; and if, as he made sure,
the final struggle was awaiting him
on the levee at St. Louis, he should
not fight as one to whom victory is
barren.
He made ready Nor the possible
struggle while there was yet time.
The negro whose part he had taken
in the melee with the mate was CRATE
full, and of him Griswold made a con-
federate. They would go ashore to-
gether on the fnooring line, and in
+ event of an attack the negro was to
snatch the bundle and run. Further
than that, his instructions were brief
but definite. If Griswold should be
overpowered, the bundle, certified by
it's owner to contain ''conjure," harm
less if undisturbed, was to be flung
into the river. And for, all this Girls
void paid well, and in advance.
~ It fell out much as he had pre-
figured. When the Belle Julie had
edged her way into the fotilla of
steamers at the landing Griswold and
the black trailed the mooring line up
to ring on the paved slope. There
was q MONDAY glare Of electric light,
and the thick-piled pyramids Of
freight on the paved levee cast inky
shadows. Out Of the nearest Of the
shadows leaped two men at the mo-
ment OF rope-knot citing, and the fight
was on. !.

Ponderous Petition for Penny Postage

Washington, Feb. 18.-One-cent
postage affairs are booming in con-
gress. Representative George w.
Smith of Illinois, who is leading the
fight for the bill in the lower house,
says great strides have been made
this session, and gives credit for the
advance to the propaganda carried on
by The Philadelphia Item in favor of
penny postage.
AS an instance of what this cam
paign has achieved Mr.. Smith vii,
take the postoffice and postroads
committee what is probably one of
the most influential and representa-
tive petitions ever presented in con-
gress. 1t bears the signatures of
over 100000 leading citizens, business
men, bankers and manufacturers, in
all parts of the country. There are
also over 100000 personal letters
from every part of the United States
asking congress to pass penny post
age bill. Coupled with the appeal
for penny postage is an urgent de
mand for an equitable and business
like administration of second class
mail privileges.
This petition was gotten UP and
circulated from one end of the coun-
try to the other by The Item. Agents
in it's employ went from city to city
and state to state canvassing mer-

Madison, Feb. IL.
DR.. Utter, of Callville, one of the in
structors of farmers Institutes was a
visitor at the college of agriculture
Monday. Mr.. Utter, who has one of
the finest fruit and dairy farms in
Waukesha county came to look over
the institution and incidentally to Sc
cure the services of some of the stu
dents for the coming season. Z. B.
Huntington and j. J. Blank, two stu
dents, have accepted positions under
him and will go into his employ at the
close of the term.
Prof. r. A. Moore, manager of the
college of agriculture stated yesterday
that there had been no less than 125
calls for student help in the last two
weeks. Of this number the college
has been able to fill but 70. The
wages paid to graduates averages
about $35 month and includes board
and washing. Students who nave
finished the first years work are able
to secure $25 month v,tring the eight
months intermission.

Manual on Dat Smut.
A manual containing statistics re-
garding smut in the oat crop has been
prepared by the college of agriculture
and will be mailed to some $4,000 per?
sons on the mailing list. The bulletin
gives the statistics of last seasons oat
crop as gathered and published in Sec
rotary True's report, together with the
result of Investigations made by the
experiment station on 173 farms and
covering sixteen counties il various
parts of the state The statement
shows that wisconsin has 2,1l0,150
acres given to oats and raised a crop
of 100000 bushels or 80 per cent. of
a full crop The experiments show the
loss caused by smut to be nearly 20
per cent. showing a loss to farmers of
this state of 18,250,000 bushels with
cash value of $6,387 500. A remedy for
this is said to be found in formaldehyd,
a colorous liquid in which the seed
oats are imersed. 1t is very cheap,
one pound of the liquid costing 90
cents, being sufficient to treat so
bushels of seed oats. AS to its
efficiency, the experiment station has
on exhibition parcels of grain raised
side by side, part of which had under
gone this treatment. The portion
treated is white and clean while the
other is badly marked WITH smut
Prof R. A. Moore, under whose direc-
ton the tests have been conducted, is
deserving of great credit in doing
valuable work in educating the farm
ers of Wisconsin upon the great loss
from this cause and it's simple remedy.
Former students of the college, now
located all over the state, give prompt
and valuable cooperation in the tests
and reports.

representative Smith says that the
argument oftenest made against pen
ny postage is the deficit it would prob
ably cause in the postoffice funds. He
calls attention to the fact that the
deficit estimated for this year is
about $2,00O,000, which is very large
reduction from that Of last year.
The saving to the department by
reason of ex-Postmaster General
Smiths order restricting second class
mail privileges is estimated by ex-
perts in the department at any
where from $8,OOO,OOO to 100000 a
year.
If the lower figure is anywhere near
right, the adoption of penny postage
would apparently cause no deficit.
Mr.. Smith thinks that the increased
use of the mails with penny postage
would in some measure, increase re-
ceipts over their present volume.
