TIPS FOR EASY TASKS.

Washington, March 10-The. zeal of
certain clerks in the dead-letter divis-
ion of the postoffice to make records
for themselves is likely to get some of
them in trouble if they do not incur
dismissal Postal inspectors in going
through the office received complaints
from some of the clerks that their am
bilious fellows had tipped the mes
sengers literally in order to get easily
deciphered letters. By this method they
We're able to pile up enviable records
for ability.
Superintendent Leibhardt of the dead
letter office investigated the matter and
found that the tipping was general
but was explained as being the ordinary
practice of feeling those employed on
mental duties The practice was stop
ped Immediately, but the inspectors re-
fused to take the same course.
The matter of consolidation of 1i-
visions to expedite the work, the elm
nation of some features of the routine
work, and introduction of a new sys-

matters We're special subjects of INQUIRY.

FOOLED THE MULES.
Animals Refused to Work When Boss
Mule Was sick Until Hoaxed.

Pittston. Pa, March 10.-The mine
workers are telling of the clever way
in which the strike of the four mules
at the Diamond shaft of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western company was
broken by Jack McAnaney, the mule
boss. 1t is not often that mules strike,
but when they do there is trouble.
Old Boxer, the lead mule of the four
which draw the cars into the West
Park slope, took sick and could not
work, so McAnaney promoted another
mule to the lead and put in a green
one. The lead mule would not start,
however. All kinds of whipping and
coaxing would not move him, and the
others were just as stubborn.
McAnaney ordered all lights out. He
put a couple of driver boys in Old Box
ers place, covered them with a big
leather apron, and using a whip freely
on the fake mule. cried out: Get up,
Boxer, you old cussl Gee up there!'
The first mule was fooled and he tug
ged. and the others followed. The OPP
Grafton was repeated each time the
mules came out to the head of the
slope because they baked again when
there was no imitation Old Boxer in
front, and the cars were drawn in that
way all day long. The next day Boxer
was better and took his old place at
the head of the team.

Card from Mr.. Wvlie.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Embodied IN your account of my
work at the Topeka Choral concert is
a statement to the effect that I am the
concert meister of the Kansas City
Symphony orchestra, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. John Behr. I have not the
honor of any connection with Mr.. John

report of my efforts in this city, and
for the good intentions which 1 know
prompted the commission of this error,
I am yours truly,

We Can All Be Happy.

No real good can come from decep.
ton. Our physical, moral and financial
or social conditions and surroun dings
are never the better through deception.
Truth, candor and loyalty are the rocks
upon which stand all that is built to
benefit and glorify. No greater in
justice can we do ourselves or our
children than to neglect the one neces-
sary adjunct to perfect health and peace
of mind. Three-fourths of all the ills
(so-called) from which we suffer and
by which we are hindered from perform
ing our home or social duties, may be
traced directly to the irregular and
general upset condition of the stomach
and bowels.
Mothers may rely upon DR.. Caldwell's
(Laxative) Syrup Pepsin as a stomach
and bowel remedy for themselves as well
as the little ones. By its use you keep
your own physical structure in perfect
cleanliness; hence healthy condition.
You will be free from headache, your
breath will be pure, your digestion per-
feet, your bowels regular, your nerves
normal and even tensioned as they
should be. You will find the same
pleasant and beneficial results if YOU
raise the babies as it were, on DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, as it keeps
their little bowels cool and regular,
prevents or cures Wind Collie and all the
little ills so prevalent and annovinp
among children. Do not deceive your
selves or your children by using heavy,
poisonous, nauseating drugs that ruin
the stomach and congest the bowels; use
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin; read the
directions on the SOC or 81 90 bottle. Use
It according to the suggestion in the
literature that is SO gladly given free by
your druggist. Look to the manufac-
turers if the results are anything short
of your fondest hopes or our sincere
representations.
