Addie White persuades the proud Miss Sanders to bake cream candy for a birthday party. A city benefactor, Uncle Albert, orders 25 pounds and pays well, then 100 pounds as demand grows. Sanders hires help, ships weekly Cupid Cream Candy as orders flood in, and the town watches her rise from pride to bustling success.

Poodle Bids for Attention at Coach Stops
In old travel days a poodle waited at horse change stations to attract travelers. It stood on hind legs to beg and was sometimes given coins. The dog would pocket the money and rush to the butcher or baker to stock provisions, having once belonged to a blind man and then beging on its own.
