The investigation disclosed eight post
Offices at which in all thirteen clerks
receive more than the salaries TO which
their designated positions as assistant
superintendent entitle them, and in
these cases the postmaster general has
directed that the salaries be accord
ingly reduced. This order affects two
positions in Louisville, Ky; two in
New York city, one each in Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Detroit four in st.
Louis and two in Boston. The maxi
mum salary Of these positions by law
is a stated percentage of the salary Of
the postmaster.

that such of these changes as involve
corrections Of violations Of the law
shall take effect next Monday and

.Then. Saddle NV Horses.r

Listening to the conversation of the
Canadian Mounted Police, as one en-
counters them everywhere in the
Northwest, it Is distinctly evident that
they are men of a different stripe from
the Tommy Atkins of the British reg
ulars. The Mounted Policeman is a
head, not an automaton nor a turnkey.
This was curiously illustrated during
the visit Of the Duke Of York to the
Territories last year. AS the royal
train drew into one of the frontier
towns, two liyeried outrunners dashed
breathlessly to the platform, shouting
excitedly for the police ito get out the
horses" The troopers of the univer-
sity type smiled and said nothing; but
one of the frontiersmen in khaki
frowned and took a bite of chewing to-
bacco.
The two little men in royal livery
became apoplectic.
"Don't you men hear? Get out the
horses! Who's going to get out the
hOrses"
The trooper in khaki again calmly
took consolation for the insult from
his tobacco. 'Have some? No!
Horses? Did you say horses? Well,
don't burst your buttons. What do
you think you are for? Get 'em out

Old o Blunder.

Everybody may not know that the
United States once began to build a
fort on British soil. This is now Fort
Montgomery, neal the foot Of Lake
Champlain. just northeast Of Rouse's
Point, N. Y. After the War of 1912 it
was thought advisable to guard the en-
trance to the lake. and it was planned
to build what was then considered a
great fort, carrying three tiers Of guns.
After the work was well Under way,
it was discovered that, owing to an
error of early surveyors, the forty
fifth parallel, then the actual boundary
between Canada and New York. passed
just south of the fort. Work, of course,
was suspended, until in 1872 the terri
tory was restored to the United States.
The fort was dubbed Fort Blunder,"
and though 1t was finished after the
boundary question was settled by the
Observation-Disclosures Treaty, it has
never been manned by more than
enough to keep it in order, and never
armed. At present a sergeant of ma
rines is stationed there, whose only
duty is to raise and lower the flag

WARNED AGAINST TITLES

Believes Marriage Of American Women
to Foreign Noblemen is Disloyalty to
Blood Our Forefathers She'd.

New York City.-At the opening Of
the twelfth annual convention Of the
General Society Daughters of the Rev.
o%lution, in st. Paul's Chapel, the Rev.
Robert Morris Kemp preached a SER
mon on marriage and the mission Of
women that greatly interested the 1900
women present. DR.. Kemp said, in
part:
Patriotic societies such as yours
have, I take it, no more reason for es-
tablishing an aristorcacy of birth in
this land than they have in c%ondoning
that far more reprehensible aristocracy
of wealth which seems often empha-
sized in the marriage of our fair young
womanhood to the title of ~impecunious
often miscalled noblemen. Is this
not disloyal to the blood our founders
shed? The American woman stands
as nowhere else on the very pinnacle Of
influence. Let the patriotic women of
to-day stand first for God and then for
Cody things.

Only the weak need a tonic. People are
never weak except from some good cause.
One of the obscure causes Of weakness and
the one ~oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh infames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the
form Of mucous. This discharge of mucous is
the same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.

It Is said that a visit was once paid
to a Russian battleship in New York
harbor by a man who, on leaving,
after expressing his sense of gratifica-
ton at what had been shown him,
made but one criticism, and that was
with respect to the band, which, ii
seemed to him, might have displayed
more ability in the discharge of Its
harmonious functions.
The captain replied that the band
had been chosen strictly according to
the law of the Russian Navy. This iron
rule prescribed that when a thousand
men were drafted for a battleship the
first fifty upon the list became the
band.

peafne.s Cannot Be Cured

by localappications as they cannot reachthe
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound orimper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, whichis nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surface.
