of wadin' boots and tosses another pair to
me. Rupert, he's all fixed up for rough
work, and even Wee has brought some
high huntin' shoes.
So, when we lands, each takes shiny
new spade or pick and makes ready to
explore the mound that looms mysterious
through the mangrove bushes. First off,
Rupert has to toss out a couple of gas
bombs, in case there might be rattlers
roamin around. And believe me, any
snake that could stand that smell was en-
titled to stay on the ground. It's ten or
fifteen minutes before we dare go near
ourselves. Rupert suggests that we start
a tunnel in from the bottom, and sort of
relay each other as our wind gives out.
"Very well, says Old Hickory. "It's
good many years since did any ex-
cavating, but | think | can still swing
pick.
Say, he coud that is, for five-minute
stretch. And while he's restin' up l
tackles it. l didn't last so long, either.

Auntie watches from the boat.

says he, "before owning up that you've
been fooled. Here, Kilam, let me have
another go at that.
He don't do it because he's excited
about it, but just because it's his turn
In fact, we'd all got to about that stage.
We'd shoveled out wagon-load or two
of old roots and sand and rotten shells
without uncoverin' so much as a rusty
nail, and it looked like we might keep on
until mornin' with the same amazin' sue
cess. Considerin' that we was half beaten
before we started we'd done pretty fair
job. 1t was just question now of how
soon somebody'd have nerve enough to
make motion that we quit. That's
when we had our first little futter.
"Huh!' says Old Hickory jabbin' in
with his spade. "Must have struck a log.
Hand me pick, some one
When he makes swing with that, the
point goes in solid and sticks.
Right! 1t is a log, he announces.
killam tests it, and he says it's a log, too.

Thrllin'! Say, don't believe any of us
could tell just what we did do for the next
half hour or so. | remember once Old
Hickory got jammed into the hole and we
had to pry him out And another time,
when we was rollin' out the cask. it was
Auntie who helped me pull it through and
ease it down the slope. She'd lost most
of her hair-pins and her gray hair was
hangin' down her back. Also, she'd
stepped on the front of her skirt and
ripped off breadth. But them trihes
didn't seem to bother her bit.
"Ho, ho!' she warbles merry. "Gold
and jewels! The jewels of old Spain and
of the days of Louis Fourteenth. Pirate
gold! We've dug it! The very thing I've
always wanted to do ever since was a
little girl. Ho, ho!"
"And l rather guess" adds Old Hick-
ory, fishin' a broken cigar out of his vest
pocket, "that as treasure-hunters we're
not such laundering jokes, after all. Eh?"
And say, when Old Hickory starts

on the other. No, three. | say, that's
funny. Let's clear away all of this stuff.
So we goes at it, all three at once, and
inside of fifteen minutes we can see what
looks like the side of little log cabin.
"If this was out in Wisconsin," says
Old Hickory, II should say we'd found
somebody's root cellar. But who would
build such a thing in Florida?'
"Come on" says Kilam his voice sort
of shrill and quivery. 81 have one of the

are so anxious to see.
Well, when he RECEIVERS his breath
he does his best to square himself. He
apologies four different ways, gettin' in
deeper with every turn, until finally he
edges towards the stairs and makes his
escape.
"At least" remarks Old Hickory, "I
suppose it is something to provide
source of innocent merriment. | trust
we are not overlooking any one who might
wish to be amused
Before the evenin was over he had his
answer. About eight-thirty out comes ii

@Young man. says Old Hickory,
breathin' hard and talkin' through his
teeth, "have you any idea what splash
you'd make if you We're dropped over
board?"
"Oh, come, guv'nor," protests Fatty;
"we only want to"
About then, though, he decides to
make scramble for his boat and the in
terview was off. Old Hickory stands
garin' after the pair until they're out of
sight Then he chuckles unpleasant
"For a private, not to say secret, enter

"There's big boat headed this way on

"Excursionists!" says Auntie. "Do you

"Looks like moonlight round trip,

says |. "Yep! They've got the search
light on us.
"This is insufferable!" says Auntie, and
beats it below, to lock herself in her state
room.
"Gr-r-r-r!' remarks Old Hickory, and
follows suit.
WE never did trace out who had done
such thorough press work for us; but
I'have my suspicious it was the chief
steward, who went ashore reg lar every
morning after milk and cream But the
round-trippers surely was well posted. We
could hear 'em talkin' us over, shoutin'

Well, the excursion captain stayed long
enough to pass the time of day, but when
he saw the sailors unreelin the hose he

Yesterday Beltrami county held an
election under the county option
law. The complete result will not
be known for several days.
The "wets" and "drys" fought a
good battle and we hope that no mat
ter which way the election goes
everyone will be a good loser.
We hope that there will be a con-
tinuance of good nature between the
two forces and that both will work
FOR the enforcement Of laws.
We hope that everyone will work
for bigger, better and more pro-
gressive Beltrami county.
We are friends and neighbors and
we must live together, no matter
whether the county is "wet" or
"dry." Why not live as friends?

SIGNING PETITIONS.

One of the most prominent men at
: Admission, Ala, to demonstrate the
truth of his contention that the av-
erage man is so compliant that he
- will sign almost any petition, put be-
fore him, in the evidence of good
faith circulated among 80 business
men of his city petition that the
city council appoint a committee to
hang every minister of the gospel in
1tthetown and twenty signatures were
promptly attached.
The petition started by asking the
city council to adopt an ordinance
excusing the ministers from paying
a sanitary tax The document was
: couched in legal language and am.
asbled along with numerous Whereas
and sswherefore" until the final para
~ graph was reached, when it was
e shown that in order to make pay
ment of the tax unnecessary, the
ministers would have to be hanged. J
sf'''Therefore, be it resolved" read
{ ell is hereby requested to appoint a.
committee whose duty it shall be-
promptly to hang until he is dead
each and every minister of the Cos
pei in this city, and may the Lord
have mercy on their souls!"
After the joke on the signers, many
,a.of whom are conservative, infiuen-
j hential sbankers, manufacturers and
!. merchants, became, generally known,
some of them ran to cover by de-.
claring they knew all along it was
joke. But others frankly admitted
they did not read the document, as
athey oshould have done, before sign
ling it. s
Think this article over.

Many Young Farmers Will Take
Short Course.

A number of young men from this
section of the state, are planning to
enroll for the Short Course in Agri-
culture, which, on December First,
opens it's thirty-fr consecutive term
of fourteen weeks instructions in
better farming methods, at the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin, Madison.
According to the reports from D.
H. Otis, in charge of the Course,
already there have been received
applications from a total of forty five
prospective students, living in thirty
different counties of the state. This
number, of course, will be increased
steadily between now and the open
ing of the term.
1t is thought that large majority
of the men who completed their first
year, study last winter, will return
for the second term of the course.
In an effort to make the course of
even greater value to the young men
and women who desire Fundamental
training in the art and science of
farming, as practiced in Wisconsin,
the course has been strengthened
and improved during the past year.
Students will have better chance
to select work in which they are
most interested, and new instructors
and equipment have been added to
render more direct service to those
who attend.
Owing to the big demand for
trained poultrymen. arrangements
have been made whereby courses in
poultry husbandry may be taken
throughout the entire Short Course,
instead of at restricted periods as
heretofore.
The following students from Bay
field County who attended the Short
course at Madison last winter will
likely complete their studies this year:
Edward A. Bresette, Bayfield,; Royal
E. Witwer, Cable.
Harvey ]. Tiege, Bayfield,, has
applied for admission and will enter
for the first year when school opens
in December.
