As was said on the

THREE HAUTE
J. H. Allen, of the Express, has been selected by the township trustees as County School Superintendent, the term of John Royse having expired. The choice is a good one. Mr. Allen ha» bad a dozen years of practical experience in teaching, has been thoroughly educated for his work, and is in every way possessed of the ability, energy and judgment needed for the trust.

He has singular control over himself Eighteen years ago he pledged himself privately that he wouldn't drink any whiskey, wine, brandy or gin, nothing, in fact, except an occasional beer, and he has persistently kept his word with himself. Two years ago he also stopped on beer and tobaceo, the last of which no had used for forty years. This shows what a man can do if he wants to.

It is one of your duties when the visitors. arrive next week to direct their steps to Charley Eppert's photograph gallery, where they will be surprised at the perfection to which he has brought the art of making piotures.

There will be many decorations next week, but for beauty and eleganee, noth ing will surpass the display of hats in the corner show window of S. Loeb & Co., on the corner of Main and Fifth streets. Mr. Loeb has exercised much taste in the selection of his light sum and straw hats, is content with a reasonable profit, and as a result enjoys a large and constantly growing trade.
Did you ever think what odd names some things have? For instance, "Wbat-Not" is an odd name lor apiece of furniture, and this reminds us of a duty to The Mail readers to direct tneir steps to the popular furniture house of R. Foster & Son, on north Fourth street, where is now shown a nice line of whatnots, wall and corner brackets, and other nice new goods at the low prices for which this bouse i? famous.

Button has recently got in a new lot of photographs of dramatic and other celebrities. And flags for the coming Fourth ot July. It is now pretty well known that the Central is headquarters for everthing in the way of blank books, commercial and fancy stationery, so we will say nothing about that.
The picnics and excursions have been unusually frequent so far this season, and it is generally observed that before starting out the excursionists call at Wright A King's, on the corner of Main and Seventh streets to have their lunch basket filled with some of the many nice things they have specially for such occasions.

A good motto for a young man just starting a moustache—Down in front. Joe Hooker says General George H. Thomas was the greatest soldier the war produced.
To the small boy there are fonr seasons —the circus season, green apple season, Fourth of July and winter.
It Is easier for a needle to go through the eye of a rich man than for an editor to please everybody.—Kennebunk (Me.) 8tar.
Some men have little Boarlet buttons on their white vests, Others simply eat strawberries and "slop over."—N. Y. Mail. "It is for you to say," said Judge Butler of the United States District Court to a Philadelphia jury, "whether a man who plays poker for money caa have a good character."
Some oue has estimated that every man who lives to be sixty years old has spent seven months buttoning his shirt collar. Thirty years more ought to be added for hunting up collar buttons.—Bridgeport Standard.
Calvia Hall, who recently died in Somers, Mass., left $5,000 to the town, provided the authorities would take obarge of an equal fund and give the income to Spiritualism. Several years ago, he made a will giving certain sums to his friends, and afterward bought up their claims at twenty per cent disoount, paying cash.
Cahan Maloney shot Bridget Murphy, at Monroeville, O., because she would not msrry him. Then he ran wildly into the street, defied anybody to arrest him, fired at men who approaohed him, and terrorized the whole village. Con stable Crane thought that the best plan of restoring order was to kill Maloney, and deliberately proceeded to do it by shooting hi»i from a sate distance with a rifle.
One reason why Foster secured the nomination for Governor of Ohio is explained by the following paragraph in the Cincinnati Star: "Foster was always solid with the newspaper boys. They grasp his hand cordially, and call him 'Charley' for short". Hardly one in the State,however, feels justified in slapping Judge Taft on the shoulder with a 'Hello, Alfonso.'" The moral is: be sure yo"u are "solid" with the "boys," and you will win. Familiarity breeds centempt in every trade but politics. If you would succeed in that line, you must at least appear to like being slapped on the back and poked in the ribs.
