he was talking about :
Calling a boy op in the morning

fond of exercise the day before. And
it is a little singular that the next
hardest thing to getting a boy out of
bed is getting him into it. There is
rarely a mother who is a success af

this ; so do their boys. And yet the
mother seems to go at it in the right
way. She opens the stair-door an«l in

“J ohnny .”-
There is no response. “JoHNwy.”
Still no response. Then there is a
short, sharp “J ohn ,” followed a mo

“J ohn H enry .” A grunt from the
upper regions signifies that an impres
sion has been made ; and the mother
is encouraged to add,” ’You’d better

that he immediately goes to sleep

knows nothing about the trouble. He
merely opens his mouth as a soda-bot

He saves his father a great many steps

I n making appointments the Presi
dent has adopted the general rule that
where an officer has served fi»ur years
in a satisfactory manner, the character
of his official services will stand as a
recommendation for reappointment,
uni«»« there are well sustained objec
tions of personal or moral character to
this reapjiointment of the incumbent.
Where, however, an offi-er serves for
eight years this period of servitude
will operate against reappointment,
the President holding that eight years
is the maximum, provided an e<iually
competent and meritorious man is mi
applicant for the place. The rule is to
be especially applied to the appoint
ment of postmasters, whose salaries
exceed $1.000 and who are e«mnni«-
sioned by the President. The rule
will not be applied with the same rigor
to postmasters whose salaries are be-
low $l,0<)0, and who are appointed
under law by the Postmaster-General.
As to these |M»stmasters who are
commissioned by the President, there
