TO ADVERTISERS

Naturally trade during the
summer months is some

weather has a tendency to
reduce vitality. But, as a
matter of fact, have we not
fallen into the habit of say
ing trade is dull in the sum-
mer weather, and conse-
quently slow up in our eff
forts, thus aiding material
ly the dullness ? Why not
turn about and change the
business tactics a trihe. A

THE DOLLAR.
Its Evolution From the One Tfme
 BIeat or Below.

It's Evolution From the One Tfme
 Beat or Below.
 The dollar took some rounding. Nor did it formerly ring true, but, much nlive, simply gave bleat or below. Cattle, among country folk, at one time constituted the dollar, while prim- tive man generally made use of any article sufficiently abundant for the standard payment of all merchandise.
 Thus, in ancient Greece, large bronze tripod had the value of dozen oxen. A good hardworking woman, on the other hand, was given in ex- change for only four such beasts.
 When metal took the place of money the dollar chung to its traditions, and coins were still called after live stock. Thus '.pecunia," applied to metal money, derived it's origin from "pecus" (cattle) From the custom of counting heads of cattle came the present desig- nation of sum in cash-capital or "capita" (heads). In Sanskrit roupa (herd, flock made roupya or the h. dian rupee, while ingots of electrum or admixture of gold and silver when first in use as money bore the impress of an OK or COW.
 Not clumsy, but too fragile. were the shells in use as money by the negroes of Africa and throughout ancient Asia, where the natives, taken by its beauty, gave the shell money value.-R Holt Lomax in Harpers Weekly.

THE GRIDIRON
STATISTICS OF
 THE TEAMS
Princeton Seems to Have Held the Whip Hand-Other News of
 Interest.

By making 12 points against Harvard Yale joined the group of teams which scored a total of over 200 points this season. The others are Princeton, Pennsylvania, Carlisle Fordham and Trinity. The last named is very prominent in the point making, even if it is not in the class with the big teams. Trinity S schedule was considerably different, but what Trinity had to do she did well. Her opponents were not all easy marks, either, two of them be- ing West Point and Amherst. Speak ing of Yale, somebody wants to know, in view of the Blues inability to do more in the Harvard game, II Yale spirit has changed. Judging from the 12 points made in the sec ond half against Princeton and the stand made against Harvard it ap- pears not. Yale has not lost a game since the rules were changed, for that matter has not been beaten since 1904, when West Point turned the trick. As q matter of fact Yale has lost only two games in the last five years-one to Princeton in 1903 and one to West Point in 1904.
 The Indians wound up by bring ing their total points up to within | 15 of Princeton's. The reds went through the most remarkable cam paign ever made by team, playing Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton, Minnesota and Chicago in succession and winning four of these five games They must have physiques of iron. In Hauser they have the best goal kicker from placement in the country and ground gaining back who ranks in the class com posed of Mccormick, Coy and | Wendell.
 Rivals who are more evenly matched in points made than usually is the case are West Point and An napolis. The Army has made IS more points than the Navy and been scored on 1G points less, this in three less games than the Navy has played Total points follows:
 Harvard, 122-71 (ten games) Yale, 2OS-1O {ten games); Prince ton, 2S2-23 (nine games); Penn sylvania, 244-36 (eleven games) Cornell 170-33 (nine games); West Point, 125-1S (eight games); Annapolis. 112-34 (eleven games); Carlisle, 267-62 (eleven games); Brown, 166-50 (ten games); Dart mouth, 150-10 (nine games); Lafayette, 16S-50 (nine games); Syracuse, 133-G4 (nine games) Amherst 49-S1 (eight games) Swarthmore, 150-53 (eight games); New York university, 5S- 69 (six games); Lehigh, 214-52 (ten games); Haverford, 6S-41 (seven games); Trinity, 224-34 (eight games).

Cornell Team Is Confident.

Ithaca. \. Y. Nov. 27.-The Cornell football team had its last practice on Percy field before the Thanksgiving day game with the University of Penn sylvania. The grounds were covered with two inches of wet snow. and rain fell throughout the practice. Coach Lueder said at the close of prac. tice, which consisted solely of signal. ing: "I never saw the players so thor Oughly in condition as they are at this time. The substitutes are at their best. The varsity men. despite the weather and wretched condition of the grounds. went through their plays more swiftly and perfectly than they have done at any time this season"

ALL WATERBURY-NAUGATUCK.

All Waterbury faces Naugatuck tomorrow afternoon in the first game of the series between them.
 The bitter rivalry existing between
 the two should make the battle one long to be remembered. Coach Bag
 ley had his men under training for more than two Eours last night and Naugatuck will find a foeman worthy of tackling when the braves from the borough come up here tD.mor-
 row. The lovers of football should turn ont by the thousand, for the team has not made a whole lot of money this season and the doctors bills have been something awful. This will be Managers Slavin and CrOnan's last year at the head Of the team and they, too. deserve some compensation and they will receive it if everybody who likes a good foot
 ball game will get out to Rockville tomorrow afternoon. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock and
 Naugatuck is going to send up 800
 at least to root for their side of the
 house. It will be worth going far to
 see The lineup of the local team
 will be as follows: Reilly. Bauby,

The business man returned to his of- flee in a bad temper after the luncheon hour 'I wish people who haven't minds of their own would come to realizing sense of the bother that they are to their friends and would devel- Op little initiative on their own ac- count" he said. Maybe it's only mistaken idea of politeness. but any how it's a nuisance to be entertaining a person at the club and have him ut terly without ideas as to what he wants to eat and drink. You ask him and he says he'll leave it to you. which is ex- actly what you don't want him to do. How can you divine his tastes, I'd like to know? What appeals to you very likely won't to him. and you know and he knows it. But your selections from the menu are always met with the comment That's very nice,' or You couldn't suit me better And so you go through the meal in a hit and miss fashion that certainly gets on the nerves of the host.

The demo- crats must carry New York, New Jersey, and one of the great central states of Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois to win, so the paramount question is who is the most available candidate to consolidate the democratic vote and draw enough independent voters to carry at least one of those states in addition to securing the electoral votes of Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky, which have strong democratic Jennings.

HOLY CROSS GAME.
Finn of Waterbury Played in Good Game With Tufts.
Worcester Gazette.

Medford, Nov. 27.-Holy Cross football team gave Tufts bad upset ting yesterday afternoon here and al- though the Worcester boys did not win they played an II to II game with Coach Whelan's team which was virtual victory for the Worcester iplayers. . The Tufts team was much heavier than the visitors and expected an easy victory but received a most disagree able surprise. -> The game was the largest attended at Medford this year and both teams had good contingents of rooters.
 Apparently defeated with the score II to against them, the Holy Cross players made grand rally in the last minute and a half of play and on a perfectly executed forward pass Dris- coll ran 100 yards for a touchdown and tied the score. Finn failed. to kick the goal and the score was tie.
 It was a grand piece of work and the Holy Cross rooters who mo- ment before were gloomy, went wild with delight and joy. There was only a minute more before the game was over in which Tufts just had time to receive a kick of and try one play.
 The credit for the long run can be given to Pallotti and Driscoll, .O'Rourke, the Holy Cross quarter had signalled for a center buck, when Pallotti called "No" from his place in the line and shouted the signal for a forward pass.
 O'Rourke took the cue and shot the ball to Driscoll and Pallotti smashed through the line at the same time. The latter put the first man in the back field out of the play and Driscoll dodged Green.
 Sheehy pursued him and caught him on the two yard line but the col lision drove the pair across the goal line. It was great finish for Holy Cross.
 In the first half the Purple scored within the first five minutes of play
 After being held in the center of the field Daily punted and Green drop ped the ball, Pallotti getting it on the four yard line O'Donnell carried it across and then kicked the goal. Tufts scored a short time after by rushing the ball up the field, Hooper carrying the ball over, Green kicked the goal. There was no further scoring in this half.
 In the second Holy Cross was rush ing Tufts all over the field but lost the ball twice on fumbles, Tufts se- curing it once on the 17-yard line. They rushed the ball to within foot of the Holy Cross goal line when they had to surrender it.
 With only four minutes left in this half, Driscoll punted to Sheedy who ran back 50 yards to the 12-yard line.
 In the next rush, Green carried the ball over on a delayed pass but failed to kick the goal.
 With only minute and half to play, it looked as though Holy Cross were beaten. Driscoll's long run, how ever, with Pallotti's assistance saved the day.
 The features of the Holy Cross team play was the rushing of O'Don- nell, Triggs, Pallotti and Driscoll, while Jones' defense work in the back field was great. He stopped fully sev- en touchdowns. The Purple team played better than at any time this season.
 For Tufts the work of Green, Hooper and Sheehy stood out promin- ently. The lineup:

Mr.. j. r. Dobell, of Tatnel Co.
came over Thursday, to consult
DR.. Ball, with reference tohis eyes.
He had been totally blind for five
years. After thorough examina-
ton, DR.. Ball pronounced it a case
of Senile Catarac, and advised an
Operation. Mr.. Dobell decided to
have the operation performed at
once. 1t required only few min
utes to prepare the patient, the
doctor performing the operation
under a local anesthetic, without
causing the patient the least pain.
The operation for cataract is per-
formed by an incision in the upper
part of the eye ball, and extracting
the crystalline lens. The patient
was overjoyed at the thought of
being able to see and was very
much surprised to find that he
could distinguish objects immedi-
ately after the operation. After
the eye has recovered from the eff
fects of the operation, DR.. Ball
will fit him with glasses, that will
take the place of the lens extracted
then he will be able to see his way
about, and do ordinary work.
