FIRST AND LAST CIGARETTE.
Deacon Smiles Yields 20 solicitations
of Boarders and Comes
10 Grief.

81 think that the cigarette habit is
q most vile and abominable one de-
clared an old man in the rotunda of
the Fifth avenue hotel the other night.
"Did 1 ever tell you" he continued.
"of Deacon Smiles first and last Gig
arette?"
"No, you did not, judge" replied one
of the party. Let us have it."
well" resumed the Judge, "it was
this way. You see crops had not been
good on the deacon's farm, so, acting
under the advice OF friends, he de-
cided TO take a few summer boarders
He had a grand old place, and as his
worthy wife kept n good table he had
no trouble in getting all the boarders
he wanted.
among the boarders were lot OF
young men who insisted on smoking
cigarettes from early morning until
late a6 night. The deacon used to
drive than over to church every Sun
day morning and, of course, they
! puffed cigarettes all the way One
morning they got the good deacon to
try one of the vile things. You can
just imagine the old deacon sitting up
in that, carryall smoking a cigarette
like a Broadway dude. Well, as they
drove into the churchyard, n number
Of the church elders saw the deacon
with the cigarette. and they threw up
their hnnds in astonishmeut. The re.
suit was that there was much talk over
the matter, and many Of the elGers
were OF the opinion that the deacon
had committed grievous sin and that
something would have TO be done.
"The matter might have hcen
dropped. however, only while the
service was going on boy rushed into
church and shouted that the deacons
carryall was on fire. The service was
suspended and everybody rushed to the
fire. There was n great time. The
fire was burning fercely, and all the
horses were frantically Juggling AT
their halterstraps to get away. The
men had to work hard in their Sunday
clothes to put out the fire, calm the
horses and fix things up in general
When it was over the congregation
decided that the deacon had caused
all the trouble by dropping his cigar
cite in the carryall before entering III,
church, and that he should be severe
ly punished for his goings-on.
"The result o. it was that the deacon
was summoned before the board o
elders, and he spent an eXceedingl,
unpleasant half-hour. The stories toll,
afterwardin the village about the poo
70 deacon we're enough to drive hin
crazy. The old maids gossiped unit
T. it was said that the doctors had de
i cided that the deacon's mind had givei
way from the excessive use of cigar
cites. The minister preached n SCI
mon on the vile and iniquitous habit o
cigarette-smoking and the deacon wa
II roasted on every side.
"At last life became so unbearabl
IS for the deacon that he published a LEI
le ter in the village weekly saying thd
the cigarette he had smoked was hi

"Man's dusting implement is a

according to the New York Sun. ''wom-
ans is a dust cloth. There can be no
doubt which is the better, but each
clings to his own. But l think ! see
signs Of a change. l saw boy walk
out OF a store uptown the other morn
ing and walk across the sidewalk to
the curb and stand there and shake n
dust cloth, just as woman would
shake one ont OF the window. / don't
know where the boy got this notion,
whether he made the discovery him
self that. except under favorable con-
ditions, with doors and windows open
At both ends and wind blowing
through, stirring up dust with duster
only serves to redistribute it, or
whether there is a woman in this store
who insists on dust cloths and has
taught the boy the use of them.
"Maybe as the boy grows up and be-
comes confirmed in this way he will
teach the use of the dust cloth TO
others, and TO his children. and they
will teach it to their children, and SO
ii may finally come about in this sim
pie manner that all men will come tc
use it, and that the feather duster will
