Fo rthe question is not one of merely choosing the best men available for the positions, but of avoiding mistakes which might, conceivably, have the effect of wrecking the entire work of the session. No doubt some mistakes have been made In this case, but it is not believed that they will have any serious consequences—probably they are such as, with the material at hand, could not have been avoided. But broadly speaking the work is well done. In particular are the people to be felicitated on the choice of Mr. Cravens as head of the ways and means committee and floor leader of the majority. For Mr. Cravens is an able and efficient man, a man of experience, and one who has had no relations with the interests that will in any way embarrass him in the performance of his duty. Most of the important and more influential positions have been well filled. On the whole, therefore, the organization of the house promises well. —Indianapolis News. HOUSEHOLD SALE.

THE DECATUR LAD I Played Off on the Bluffton Counter, r ■ A good story is being related on a well known Bluffton young man who is popular among the fairer sex in the vicinity of Curryville and Peterson. He had a • date" in that district for Sunday evening, and according to the program a Decatur youth was to drive out from the latter city with a horse and buggy to meet him at Peterson i station when the -Clover Leaf train I puled in. “Izzy,” the Bluffton youth, i was on time to the dot, but his friend i from Decatur was nowhere in sight, and he failed utterly to put in an appearance. Finally, determined not to miss his appointment because of the unfaithfulness of a friend the Bluffton youth hunted around until ne found a man who had been a boy once himself, and learning part of the story and guessing at the rest he consented to take the young man for the three mile drive to the home of his sweetheart. It was then a case of making all night of the courting since the night train west on the Clover Leaf does not stop at Peterson. The local youth was on hand for the early train Monday morning and reported at his office here, a little late and looking tired and sleepy. When word came from Decatur the friend in that city who failed to keep his appointment said it was too windy to make the long drive Sunday night.—Bluffton News. 0 Democrat Want Ads. Pav
