It Is That Which One Cannot Avoid Without a Struggle. When debating the question. How

much sleep is needed? one must keep in mind that the best sleep, indeed, the only healthy kind, is that which one cannot avoid without a struggle. It is the sleep that always follows on weariness; it is not that which is obtained by difficulty. If a person slept for three hours right away and then awoke re-

DURING the absence of George Ade in Europe recently, the royalties on his plays accumulated in the Kentland Bank over $65,000. Since his return he purchased a new 600 acre farm in Newton County at $100 per acre. It is not improbable that George can survive the harsh critiof those who do not relish his style.

posed duty of the TYPICAL MOTHER-IN-LAW. She would have liked to rule everything, from the spending of her son-in-income to the choice of the various brands of matches for the family use. Even in higher classes of society the mother-in-law has until lately enjoyed an evil renown, whether she happened to be the mother of wife or husband. The indictment against her was that of "managing" or ENDEAVORING TO MANAGE. Now, one of the charms of home is that the proprietors may manfor themselves, have things their own way, rake out the fires at night if they like, have poultry twice a week and early salmon while it is still $1 a pound and close their eyes upon small shortcomings in othadmirable servants. THAT WAY LIES PEACE and the pleasure to be found therein. If mothers-in-law disapprove they should observe a prudent reticence.

THE pretended horror at presiexpenses and the demagogic outcry against paying the president's travelling expenses, is a cheap and small piece of business. Our public men who are expected to give every moment of their time to regulating the affairs of this mighty nation are not paid enough to place them, as human beings with very human debeyond the reach of temptation to take bribes. There is no ruler who receives so small a salary as the president of these States.

Publicity Will Inevitably Destroy the "Boss" System By JOHN T. DOYLE. Secretary United States Civil Service Commission

T is a function of the civil service commission to afford to the public the fullest information respecting the observance of the

rules and the DISTRIBUTION OE PATRONAGE. A

most effectual remedy for the "boss" system and the misuse of ' patronage is publicity, and nothing so much fosters that system as the lack of information respecting the administration of the service. If i appointments are shrouded in darkness it would be NATURALLY believed that evils exist. Secrecy is not an element of our political system, and it is only

falsehood and corruption that are sought to be kept in darkness. The appointing officer who means and acts well recognizes his obligation to the public and COURTS ITS OPINION. Records of employees need to be kept by a central body in order that statistics may be compiled in a uniform manner. They need to be kept by a body OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENTS to guard against laxity and to bring all appointments to the light of criticism. Where the service records are open to the public IN ONE CENTRAL PLACE it is enabled to keep informed of the workings of the civil service laws and rules, and confidence is thus inspired in the honesty of their administration.
