indicates. In other words, the probof-

the official election returns.
Accepting these reports as correct. 1t
appears that errors or frauds were con-
fined to other wards. If any have been
discovered. 1t Is said that Henry Ward
is ''all right" whatever that means. That
would leave Leo Ward and Monroe Ward

errors or frauds can be discovered. So

THE FlRsr CIGARS.

Havaaas Were smoked In Paris ~
LOnG Ago as 1913.
When were cigars first smoked7 Ac.
cordIng to a French authority, the weed
In this shape was not introduced into
France till the return OF the French
army from Spain in 1873. This fact is
on the authority Of Hlppolyte Anger,
the dramatic author, who writes thus
In his memoirs:
Our return from Paris was by way
Of Orleans. On the route VIC met
quite frequently officers returning from
Spain. They had generally cigars / n
their mouths-a new habit, since be-
come general. From this point Of view
the campaign OF 1923 had the good
financial result OF establishing a new
branch OF import trade"
Another document, however. carries
back the use OF the cigar to a slightly
earlier period. The Hermit OF the
Chassee d'Antin," 1918. going to see
his nephew, a young officer at Paris.
finds him at his hotel In morning cos
tune and smoking a Havana cigar.
The taste for cigars seems Mt this time
TO have been sufficiently extended to
make them a common article in the
stock OF every grocer who was careful
to cater to the wants of his customers.
