Has History With Which Few
Smokers Are Familiar.
Was First Seen in New World-Na-
tlves Used Dried Leaves Of the
Tobacco Plant Rolled in
Corn Shuck.

Washington.-Men smoke thought
lessly. BY some the cigar is looked on
or pulled as an aid to digestion. as an
Ss Id to reflection or as nothing but
Smoke producer. A great deal of
suits has been with the aid or under
the influence of the cigar.
There Is no disposition here to
minimize the influence on mankind OF
the pipe or the quid. but the present
main consideration Is the cigar. And
while men do SO much of their think
ing while cigar smoke watts and curls
and eddies from their lips and gives
pleasure to their nostrils, Is 1t not
strange that so little Of this thinking is
addressed to the cigar-that is. to its
that which IL enfolded and enwrapped
In the little brown bundle of leaves? !?
But so It Is.
The cigar has a long history. To
bacco may have been used in cigar
form before It was burned in pipes.
snifYed as SNUFF or taken as Quid. but
on this point there is no proof. Two
of the sailors under Columbus on the
first voyage reported that they had
seen natives of the new found world
with frebrands In their mouths and
with smoke issuing from their lips.
II was found that these natives were
smoking the dried leaves OF a plant
hitherto unknown TO the Europeans.
and that the leaves were rolled in a
corn shuck On the second voyage OF
Columbus natives of the West Indies
we're found who pulverized dry to-
bacco leaves and snuffed the powder
up their noses.
The practice was discovered by a
Franciscan friar Roman Pane. who ac-
companied Columbus. In the voyage
of 1902, when Columbus reached the
mainland of South America, natives
were found who chewed the cured leaf
of the tobacco plant. The use OF the
plant was subsequently found to be
universal among the American abb
origines from Cape Horn to Hudson
bay, and the custom was immemorial.
But whether the cigar Is senior to
the pipe or quid Is q difficult ques-
ton. Even II the first reported use OF
tobacco was in the form of firebrands
1t does not follow that this was the
Oldest form In which the plant was
used. At the time OF the coming OF
the Europeans tobacco was consumed
in one form or another by the Indians
from Canada to Pataganio. and espe-
cially in the form OF smoking. 1t was
habit that had been practiced for
such ages that the Indians had no ira
dition as to Its origin.
In an old account of how the indians
smoked tobacco. as observed by Colum-
bus men, Is this.
Investigation revealed that the fire.

tobacco, rolled and buried In a sheath
of Indian corn, and that the smoke was
inhaled for sensations of pleasure and
exhilaration. The instrument used for
inhaling the smoke was made from hol-

Pansy, the Pekinese, did not deny any
thing, because she had not been added to
the family. She was an afterthought, so
TO speak.
But the Belmonts speedily found that
their denals did them no good, The mar
riage had taken place over In Hoboken,
and Ethel Lorraine had the paper to
prove it.
IN the beginning the family of the foolish
young husband refused to consider that
the young wife had any claim on them.
They went on their way exhibiting their
dogs, and their dogs went on bow-wowing
and the bride wept at home, neglected and
forlorn.

bride moped at home she was busy think.

husband and his family to terms and to

But young Mrs. Raymond's revenge was
only too complete. The Belmonts already
knew that her name was on the exhibitors
list, and, Of course, they withdrew their
dogs and stayed at home This was par
ticularly hard on the Augie Belmonts, for
they had some perfectly lovely Pekinese
pups that they knew would sweep all be-
fore them. But young Mrs Belmont, who
was very naughty young beauty before
she married August, junior, utterly re-
fused to run the risk OF meeting her new
sister-in-law, and she did not even want
her pups to meet the new Pansy.
"But," said Mrs. Augie to her fatherin-
law, whose word in his own family has
always been law, "but she is only doing
this to tease us temporarily, or perhaps
she does not know how ii does tease us
She will not go to any OF the other shows

Mrs. RAYMOND will not tell, but the various
members of the Belmont family are sure
that the former Ethel Lorraine, one-time
chorus lady, has turned dog fancier just
10 spite them. And now no one dares say
bow-wow whenever any OF the Belmonts
are near by.
And why should not this young woman
buy dogs and travel about the country
showing them?
Because the Belmonts have always
shown their dogs and attended all the
shows in this part of the country, and they
can not do so any longer, because every
where they go they bump into their new
relations-inlaw.
