CANADIAN BUILT CARS.
They Cannot be Used for American Traffic
Without Paying a Duty.

DETROIT, January 1S.-The new customs
order regarding Canadian built cars is being
rigidly enforced. Heretofore Grand Trunk
and other foreign built cars have been loaded
in interior points in Michigan and have run
through to Portland Me-, without question.
This was disregard of the w,but was tacitly
permitted to go on through some misunder-
standing in the interpretation of the interna-
tional arrangement.
Now no Canadian built car can pass Detroit
point in Canada without paying duty if such
cars are intended to ply between American
points. Canada roads are preparing according
ly by stopping cars at Detroit that were in
tended for loads between American points.

WAYS OF WOMEN.

She can say ono" in such low
voice that it means eyes"
She can do more in minute than
a man can do in an hour, and do it
better.
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate, and no two men
can do that.
She can sharpen lead pencil, if
you give her plenty of time and
plenty of pencil.
She can throw a stone with a curve
that would be fortune to base
ball pitcher.
She can safely stick fifty pins in
her dress while he is getting one
under his thumb nail.
She can dance all night in a pair
OF shoes two sizes too small for her,
and enjoy every minute of the time.
She can come to a conclusion
without the slightest trouble of
reasoning on it, and no sane man
could do that.
She can appreciate a kiss from
her husband seventy-fve years after
the marriage ceremony is performed.
She can walk half the night with
a colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing the desire of muir
dering the infant.
She is cool as cucumber in half
a dozen tight dresses and skirts,
while man will sweat and fume
and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each others head before they had
exchanged ten words.
She can 60 to church and after
ward tell You what every woman in
the congregation had on, and in
some rare in stances can give you
some faint idea Of what the text was.
She can drive a man crazy for

chin, and there does not live tFat
mortal son Of Adams misery who
can do it.-Er.

sition at the hospital and is now
spending a few days at his old home
in Kingwood. He will go to Nor
gantown at the opening of the Uni
versity and matriculate in the law
department. He came to Weston
several years ago total stranger,
but by his social disposition and
strict integrity soon won the friend
ship OF our people and became quite
popular in their esteem. His depart
nre will create vacancy in the
Office of Alderman in the first ward

two successive years past ; and while
his numerous friends are reluctant
to have him go, all unite with the
World in wishing him abundant
success. Weston World.

hope to have your confidence from
the start as we know we will in the
end. What is your interest is our
interest, and knowing that we can
best advance our own interest by
first advancing yours, it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that we will give
our best endeavor to the material
advancement Of the paper. We may
not be able to please all of you and
we shall not try, for if we should
try to please everybody we would be
bound to fail, and sowe are goingfirst,
to try to please ourselves and take

men will differ you know, and also

you will still think the ARGUS nee

In assuming editorial control of


the management will not effect their
interest except for the better. 1t is
true the ARGUS has had some ups
and downs, some clouds and some
sunshine, but it is now on the up
ward road, and we propose to put
our shoulder to the wheel and keep
it on the way Coward and upward
and true to the line.'' Mr.. Kildow,
who retires, has worked hard for the
best interests of the paper. 1t is in
much better condition financially
and influentially than when he took
charge of it. In the past two years
he has worked the ARGUS up to the
front rank of county papers and we
propose to devote our best endeayor
to see that the good work goes on.
Brother Kildow has had associated
with him in the editorial capacity
for some time past, big, jolly, gent
al William j. Lavelle, of Tunnelton,
who is considered the best writer in
the county, and who has established
his reputation as one Of the best
politicians in the country. AS a
lightning singer of thought, he is
considered an expert in q double
capacity, .. e. with the editorial pen
and the Geographic key. The way
ne has been pouring hot shot into
the Republican camp on the tariff
question is calculated to rattle the
best protected protectionists. In
regard to our views on the great
questions and living issues of the
day, we will give them to our read
ers as occasion and opportunity de-
mands. To any one who knows us.
1t would be unnecessary to say any
thing in regard to our politics
Everybody knows what the politics
Oh the ARGUS is and always has been.
We shall keep it up to the standard
OF true Democracy and at all times
and under all circumstances fear
iessly and independently advocate
the best interests of the people. We

Just now, we will postpone that for
the future consideration of the peo-
pie. We have accepted the political
situation of the day and are making
the best Of it. The wicked will
prevail for time, but the chosen
people are bound to succeed in the
end. We have met the enemy and
we are theirs and that settles that
for the present. We do not propose
to whine over the issue but let the
last campaign go and wait for the
next and in the meantime we will
devote most Of our time, attention
and space to giving the people lust
what they want now-the news
The politics Of this paper will still

no wing, clique or faction.
We have been out Of the politics and

some time, having been engaged in

time we have kept thoroughly post
