 While we make the most money from our chocolates and bon bons, !" said maker of candy, 'it is the humble little penny candy which de- mands the most wit and energy. The penny candy must be always up-to- date and timely. A chocolate nouga- tine or a chocolate almond will be as popular five years from now as it is to- day, but what we offer in stick cady today must take anoth:r fashion in | less than year.
 We may use the same ingredients, but 1t must take new shape or the youngsters won't look at it. Older people buy confectionery for it's quali- ity, but children buy, 1t for it's novelty.
 Auto pop are the craze now. They are nothing but lollypops made in 8 little different shape, but when the rush for lollypops died out as sudden ly as it came we hit on the automobile to make this candy good again.
 "Often it is nothing but the name that sells the candy. On sticks of taffy we have been fastening small tin tag which reads License to but in and the taffy has taken on a new lease. of life. On the papers wrapped around some flat square carmels is printed "Milkmaid carmels'' and the words are attractive this hot weather. We have besn making heart shaped can dies for years, but now we are getting out small boxes filled with tiny laven- der hearts and on the box is Sweet hearts,
 TO show what I mean by the penny candy being timely: In the spring we got out regulation lollypops, but in stead of the ordinary stick there was a raks, hoe or spade with handle stuck in the candy. Along about May we recognized the custom of hanging May baskets by putting on the market tiny candy baskets and in April we pue on the market all sorts of candy eggs. Fourth of July calls for candies in the shape of f1recrackers and tor- pedofs, and these have not varied much in style off the last five years. B.

THE COTTON REPORT.
Under Suspicion-Secretary Hester
Questions Director North
Were Figures Held Back?

Washington, October 26.-The GEN.
sus bureau issued bulletin yester-
day placing the cotton ginned in the
United States up to October I8 at
4,o4o,728 bales, round bales being
counted as half bales. The statement
is based on reports made by the bu-
reau's special agents in the field.
No estimate is made of the total
crop for the year, but figures are CIV
en- out concerning crops of former
years. These figures show that up to
this date in 1904 the product Of the
gins had reached a total of 6,417,8o4
bales out of total of 13,6o3,27o bales
for the year. In 1908 the total pro-
duction was Io,o45,615 bales and the
ginning output up to October rs,
3,7o6,248. In 1902 the total was TO-
827,168 and the output to October rs,
was 5,683,oo6. Today's report covered
26,364 ginneries and the statement
upon which it was prepared were sup
piled by telegraph by 1o2 special
agents in the field, most of them rep
resenting one county each.
The fact that the bulletin was not
issued until two o'clock, two hours
after the usual time, caused complaint
from brokers in different cities, and
some of these which reached the by-
reau before the document was given
to the public, were of a sensational
character. They were summarized in
the following from the secretary of
the New Orleans cotton exchange:

HENRY IRVING.
Noted English Actor Whose Death
Recently Occurred.

Noted English Actor Whose Death
Recently Occurred.
The sudden death of Henry Irving
removes from the stage one of its most
original, unique, enthusiastic and cult
waited representatives. He was thinker
and scholar as well as actor. He thor
eughly believed in his calling, and no
actor at any period has done more to
dignity his profession or to elevate the
stage than he. That he should have
been honored by royalty for his work
was a fitting reward, and yet probably
the highest reward from his point of
view was the new beauty and great
Improvement In stage presentation
which he made and the warm appreci-
alton with which che public regarded
his efforts.
Criticism of Irving has been various,
and has been largely influenced hy his
mannerisms of voice and gait and gen
eral personality. but If scholarship
and intellect can make an actor great,
then Irving must be considered one of
the greatest, and worthy to be ranked
with Garrick, Kemble, Kean, and other
famous English actors of the past. He
was not an emotional actor in any
sense, and even In his most melodra-
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1905-11-01

matte characters he was not ''sensa-
tional," never sentimental or STACEY.
He appealed to the heart through the
brain. For more than quarter of
century he has been England s foremost
actor, and whatever opinion Ameri-
cans may have had of him, certainly
no European actor has ever been more
cordially welcomed here, not only as
actor but as gentleman and scholar.
Henry Irving was naturally a man
of refined nature and high ideals, and
these qualities showed themselves In
everything he produced. Perhaps, in
deed, he will be longest remembered
not so much for what he did on the
stage as for what he did for the stage.
He increasingly maintained the highest
standards He brought his artistic
feeling and appreciation to the prep
aration of every play. 1t is not too
much to say that he revolutionized the
methods Of dramatic performance and
was the originator of all that careful
ness of detail, historic accuracy, and
beauty of setting which now charac-
terize representations. And with all
this he maintained the dignity of his
profession and gave to it new meaning
and strong defense whenever it was
assailed. He was a kindly gentleman,
n gentle scholar, an artist of lofty
ideas, loftily upheld. He ennobled his
calling more than 1t ennobled him.

THE GAME OF SNIFF.

Sniff" Is game that is played
with dominces 1t may be played by
three, four, five, six or seven people,
but the most interesting game is
where four or five play. With four
two may be partners. All the dom
inoes are put face down on the table.
When three play, or two, the players
draw seven dominoes; when more, all
take five. The dominoes are placed
before each player, with the faces
hidden. Each one plays in turn. The
first doubles played is "sniff," and
this may be built on from the ends
and sides. The object is to make
mines or fives and mulsiples of that
number. Any one who is unable to
play must draw one from the pool OF
dominoes left on the table. The first
one out in each hand counts all the
points on all the dominoes belonging
to the other players, and all remain
Ing in the pool, and adds the number
they make to his score. The game is
$50. It is an excellent game, requir-
Ink skill and judgment. 1t may be
played progressively when there are
a number of players, with four at
each table, the two who make the
most each time progressing and the
game at the head table being only
fifty, to prevent too long games. A
left-handed contest is on another or
der, and a very jolly, hilarious game.

Watch That, Not the Mouth, for symp-
toms of Hydrophobia.
AS dogs do not perspire, the only re-
lief they seem to get when overheated
is from inhaling cool air through their
wide open mouths In short, puffy
breaths. The friction between tongue
and lips caused by their rapid, labori-
GUS breathing produces saliva, which
is sometimes ignorantly diagnosed as
foam, one of the symptoms of hydro
phobla. Many innocent victims have
lost their lives on account of such stu.
pidity.
If your dog should feel Ill, sick with
some ordinary ailment, he will wag

preston, looking up inquiringly us IL
asking for help and relief. If 1t has

stinct the germs of the dreaded dis

entirely different. You will find him
with low bent head, Withholding his
usual glad welcome, hardly noticing
or CHANGING at you.
If your eye meet his, the restless,
nervous, strange expression will STAR

conscious of approaching danger and
would like to prepare and warn you.

mainly upon the history of the lives
