Air Through Life.
Miss America never nrrlvca at an
age when n box of candy Is not an
effectivo bribe. When sho wns very,
very small a box of caudlos would
honl tho most stubborn enso of honrt
ache. For n fow bonbons sho would
consent to swullow most nny Rort or
nauseating medicines. When aho be
gan to fnro forth Into tho world it
did not tnko hor long to find her way
to tho nearest soda fountain and
candy store. It soothed tho heart
burnings of her maidenhood nnd con
soled her for many n shattered hopo.
Later on In life sho recelvod tho dally
or wcokly offering of n glorious box
of subtle flavors as n merited trlbuto
to Ijor charms. Still lator on a box of
candy presented to her by an erring
spouse always softened hor heart nnd
took nwny any Just bitterness thnt
Bho might havo felt ovor his pecca

growth. It has becomo ono of tho
luxuries thnt wo nro sure wo aro un

latest necessities. (
When our great grandparents folt

roallzo that any figures obtained nro

lions of pounds of candles annually,
but the most prying ot tho men with
tho government blanks aro unablo to
got at tho amount ot sweetmeats -that
aro turned ouU annually In boardlng
nchool dormitories, homo kttchons
and ovor tho flamo ot tho alcohol
lamp that runs tho chafing dish.
If Miss America's annual candy sup
ply woro loaded on one train ot cars
ot tho fUllost capacity there would bo
something over 8,000 cars full ot
boxes, buckets and glass Jars. This
load of sweetmeats for tho swcot tooth
of tho American girl costB tho con
Humors about 1125,000,000 every twelve
months.
Of these loaded cars ot cnndy, It
may bo said that they contain fully
au ' much nourishment as n similar

Thoy aro of (ho opinion that a llttlo
temperance agitation along tho lines
of chqcklng tho consumption of bon

not be amiss.

was thought to bo bonoath tho dig

who had attained tho ago of maturity
to bo soon eating enndtos or anything
of tho unrt
Tho children had nil tho cnndy to
themselves, nnd at thnt thcro was
not much to havo. Tho big candy fnc
tory was . as much unknown no tho
steel rolling mill. There was no do
mand for tho product nnd thdro was
no attempt mado to croato ono.
In 1S50 all tho candy that wns mado
In this country would havo sold for
tho paltry sum of $3,010,071. No ono
paid much attention to tho cnndy bus!
noss, It was being produced In small
shops nnd by n fow workmen only.
Pooplo woro entirely too busy with
sternur things during tho dnys of tho
war between tho states to pay any at

tho candy that was being oaten by
tho waiting wives, mothors nnd sweet

candy shops of tho Unltod States

cnudlos, barber-polo stick nnd brown
flat pieces of tho well-romemborcd
"hoarhouml." Miss America was bo-
ginning to sit up nnd nibble gently at
the cnndy situation.
Another decade elapsed nntl ttie

thoso days, nnd In sptto of tho tnsto
Icrb earth used In tho poorer kinds,
tho business began to grow by lenps
nnd bounds. In 1S80 the candy valua
tion wns plnccd nt $33,714,770.
Fifteen yonrs later tho business had
bocomo a gigantic thing nnd tho latest
crop of boarding-school damsels woro

PREDICTS MONEY HEPTARCHY
Thomas Fortune Ryan of Virginia and New

as tho pjesont financial monarchy of America,
If not oC tho -world; Into- a heptarchy, which
menus that tho world oft money Is to bo gov
erned, by seven kings.
He- declared J. Plorpont Morgan to bo supreme-
monarch ofi tho existing; money omplro,
and- saliJ that the monarch will havo no succes
sor, but that his kingdom will ho divided among-,
novon young financiers now fa training In Now
York city.
The- men he named' to. form tho heptarchy are
J. Pterpont Morgan;, Jr;, ami Henry, P. Dnvldsom
of the firm of J. P; Morgan & Co.; Otto H.
Kahtt nnd Mortlmon- L. Schlff of Kuhn, Loeb.
& Co.;, John B. Dennis of Blair & Co. jGoorgo-F. Baker. Jr., of tho First
National bank, and James Stlllman, Jr., of tho National City bank, all of Now
York.
Mr. Ryan mado this prediction as ho was about to snll for Europe; a
voyage which he says was not to bo taken because ho ts on tho vorgo of coir
lnp3obut for pleasure mixed with business. Some tlmo ago Mr. Ryan withdraw
from many of the corporations In which ho was interested and since- then
he says ho has slept like a baby nnd hasn't segn his physician for tour
months.
Just at present ho says ho Is more interested in the Kongo development
than anything else.
"I expect to glvo a great deal of attention to It, ho said. "It Is not nt
oil unlikely that I shall mako a visit thoro. The mines in which I am- Inter

for gold thero Is probably unsurpassed anywhere In the world."
PARR GETS A BIG REWARD
How would you Ilka to earn a rowunl of $100,
0007 Don't you think It would bo a pleasure to
you If Unclo Sam would place in your hand ten
crisp $10,000 bills and Bay: "Here, my good aud
faithful servant, Is a reward for a duty well
douo?" Pretty nlco, eh?
This Is what will befall Richard Parr, a cus
toms deputy nt Now York, who assisted tho gov
ernment In recovering 12,000,000 in tho Bugnr
underweight frauds. Pnrr hasn't rocoived tho
money yet becauso tho fund out of which Unclo
Sam pays bucIi rewards wasn't lnrge enough.
But ho'll get It President Tatt nnd Secretnry
Mae Veagh havo promised It and that's enough
for Pnrr,
Parr discovered tho secret spring on tho docks
of the American Sugar Ronntng company, by
which tho underwolghlng practlso was carried on. Tho final discoveries of
fraud woro mado In 1907, slnco which tlmo tho government has boon engaged
In collecting thu duties out ot which it had boon defrauded.
"A hundred thousand dollars Is not much money In Now York, but I
am grateful Just tho samo," Bald Parr when Informed of his good fortune. "I
shnll Invest tho bulk of tho money In real estate. I havo a wlfo, two sisters
two nieces and two brothers and wo shall bo glad to own our own home!
Thoro will bo no oxtravaganco; I havo planned that.
"My plans Includo a vacation In tho mountains nnd then perhaps a trip
to Europe. I have boen working overy day for two years and am on tho
vorgo of a nervous breakdown. Tho vacation Is moro to mo than the mony.
I Bhnll not glvo up my present position."
Which shows thnt Richard Parr Is a pretty sonslblo sort of a man and
