had that party been successful in the
national contest

Smoking, as is well known, is habit which
is not confined to men in France and other
continental countries. Many Parisiennes now
indulge in cigarettes even in their boudoirs,
and cent VT. 5er, who is herself a smoker,
has drawn up set of rules for the benefit Of
fashionable female votaries of the tweed"
Some of these regulations are rather pecu-
liar. Never, say the guide, philosopher, and
friend of fashionable fumeuses, never smoke
in a restaurant or out of doors, even when in
company with your husbands. Never light a
cigarette after O'Clock ten, even If your
most intimate friends only are present.
Smoke after your meals at home, either In a
room ad hoe or in your boudoir Do not hold
the cigarette between your teeth or at the
sides of your mouths. Such low tricks are
unworthy even of well bred men, and you
must be mindful to carry the cigarette grace.
fully to your lips, and to blow gentle wreaths
of etherealized essence around you from your
mouths, or if you like, down from your
noses Be extremely careful not to allow any
ashes to fall on your dresses or your carpets
and be sure that your cigarette holders and
their cases, your match boxes, your ash trays
and your general appliances for the enjoy

favor OF the viaduct. He looked upon il
as of great importance to the public. the
government and the railroads, and ad'

its construction. He went so far as to
allude to it as the KEY to the union depot

A. W. Smith, for the past three years
in charge of one of the public schools in
Edgington township, and a young girl of
good family living in the neighborhood
of Ardalusia, and whose name is Roth,
have been missing since last Sunday.
and the supposition is that they have
eloped. Smith leaves a wife and two
children, the latter just entering upon the
estate of manhood and womanhood. The
last seen of Smith and Miss Roth was
late Sunday night, when citizen of An
dalusis now feels quite certain he saw
them board skiff there and cross
the river to Buffalo. Further than
this, no trace of the mismsted
runaway pair can be found. The
supposition is that the frolicsome old
man and the romantic young miss hii

Smiths wife and family were at church.
They carried this part of the programme
out and are gone.
Smith, it will be remembered, became
mixed up with scandal few years age
while acting in the capacity of principa
of the Andalusia public school, but th'
matter was finally quieted. He is super
intendent of the Sunday school of the U
B. church at Andalusia, and hes alway
been great instrument in the promotion
of public morality, being also justice o
the peace. He is about forty-five, Will,

The Argus has arranged with Observer
Fitzgerald of the government signal SER
vice corps and located at Davenport, for
the publication of the cold and moderate
weather indications during the coming
winter. Not only will the ARGUS pubs
lish these representations but the black
flag signal will be flown from the ARGUS
flagstaff when cold weather is promised,
and the ARGUS burgee which has graced
the flag staff for some time, will be used
as the moderate weather signal. The
public may therefore look TO the ARGUS

they will be as reliable and faithful as the
expert signal service of the government
