NECESSARY FOR CANDY SHOPS
TO HAVE SODA MOUNTAIN,

Tnese are not very prosperous DAYS
for the candy man unless he owns an
Ice cream salon or soda fountain"
said well known candy maker to q
reporter "As the days grow. warmer
the candy trade drops Off until, at this
season. the candy sales, which were
unbehevably large during the winter.
are less than one-half as large as then.
Peanut candies sell better than any
other just now, while caramels run a
close second. Next to these in pop
ularity come the wrapped candies, be-
sides which few are sold,"
Another thing which, though gain
ing In popularity every year during the
cold season, drops off in the summer
Is coffee. The coffee sales drop Off
fully one-third during the summer
months. while tea and cocoa are on the
increase as popular summer drinks.
Morecocoa Is being used every day as
a beverage and the sales of tea have
been phenominal this summer. This
Is due in great measure to the increas-
ing popularity of icedtea, of which
one-half more Is used than formerly.
This is also the hey-day season for
sellers of extracts, and merchants are
kept buhy supplying the trade with
extracts. The extensive use of ices
and the many picnics which call for
cakes and such things is the cause
of the soaring of extract sales.
Tobacco does not share In this gen.
eral fiuctuation and there Is no ap-
preciable difference in the sales Of
cigars or tobacco except during the
month of May, which is the red-letter
month for tobacco In All forms Thio
is explained by a well known dealer
by the fact that after being shut up
all winter the people are glad to get
cut and enjoy the balmy breezes of
May; and thus getting into the open
air gives the men an opportunity to
smoke about twice as much as usual
and the smoker seems to enjoy his
cigar or pipe more at this time than
any other. After the spring time ex-
hilaration Is past, however. he settles
down in his old ways and there Is no
noticeable fuctuation In tobacco sales
again until the following year.

SOME IDEALS IN
FRATERNITY LIFE.
Rev. siolmes Addressss Lodges
OF Canton Odd Fellows
at M. e. Church.

The members of Nimisila, Stark and
Rcbekah lodges of the independent Or
der of Odd Fellows attended services
at the First Methodist church in a
body Sunday evening to hear a sermon
on fraternity delivered by Rev. o. w.
Holmes, pastor of the church The
members of the lodges mot at the Odd
+ Fellows' Temple, at the corner Of
Cleveland avenue and Seventh streets.
and marched in body to the church.
pr. Holmes address was rather brief
but was well received by the members
Of the lodges. The pastor dwelt upon
fraternity ideals. among which he
classed purity, charity. Righteousness,
sympathy. Another fraternity ideal
which the pastor emphasized ye.y
strongly was character slf
Rev. Holmes spoke of how the lodges
sympathized with suffering broth
ers and said that one did not really
sympathize with one undl he actually
suffered with that one in distress.
He referred to the charity Of fratsrnal
orders and said that 1t was one of the
best features of lodges. Above all of
these ideals the pastor declared there
was one which was still greater and
that was to live in conformity with
the life of Christ
The church was well filled with the
members of the three different lodges.
During the evening special music was
rendered by the church choir.

 Because of their bobtails, it was said, but really because the pair were not what a Presidents horses should be, the chief executive did not bring with him pair of carriage horses he used at his Long Island home. He purchased new pair in Washington, but refused all the short-tailed ami mals offered him and selected hand some pair with beautiful flowing ap- pendages Yangka, Mrs. Roosevelt's saddler, and almost as worthy an ami nal as her husbands, possessed the required tail length. The first lady of the land views it unbecoming q gentlewoman to ride curtailed horse, and the said first lady was not de- prived, therefore, of her favorite steed. The President could not even set an example, part with Bleistein and relegate him to some pasturage till his tail regained it's length, but promised tacitly that the horses tail should be short no longer than 1t would by. nature, and MT.

PRESIDENTS BoR-TAILED NAG.
Like Good Citizen, MT. Roosevelt Is
 First to Obey New Law.

From the Washington Star
 The Presidents celebrated saddle horse is bob-tailed, but every possible inducement is being offered that tail to reach out to its full length. It is now painfully ugly length-about two feet Those among the throng which waits at the White House gate each evening-those who notice de tails about horses-always remark upon Bleistein's detail. Here is the tale of the tail:
 The Presidents horse is a renowned hunter, worth $1400, though the Presi- dent would not take for him five times his intrinsic value. Bleistein can hur- dle five feet six inches with the Presi- dents 1855 pounds on his back. Down at Oyster Bay the cruelty it is to dock horses tails had not been brought to the Presidents attention, and he followed the fashions preferred tail length When he arrived at Washing ton vigorous crusade was about be- ginning against the extreme style that prevails at the capital-so short that it borders on yulgarity.
 The President is not the man to al low public opinion to swerve him unless public opinion is right. Being a man Of the utmost consideration for the dumb beast, he was easily pointed out the error of his ways in the dock ing of his horses tails, and immedi- ately thereupon he gave orders to his secretary, who in turn handed them down the line until the foreman of the Presidential stables received the

The question for supply is such an all-important one, and future foundry business so pressing that the proposition seems somewhat intangi- ble
