out OF the pockets Of the people in six
weeks THAT sport has not yet been
found which is as much OF drawing
card for the people and their money as
football with all It's wonderful and well
deserved popularity, baseball has never
been able to draw crowd OF 10000 pco-
pie through It's gates. With the grid
iron It is different, aud more than once
it has passed that mark.
An an index 10 the cost OF football
throughout the United states IT is said
that a cool million dollars changes hands
on the result Of one game. To begin
with, tho Yale and Harvard teams spend
about 600 getting themselves In Icadi-
ness for the preliminary struggles with
other teams and the final fray with one
another There is the training depart
mont which calls for heavy ouuays Tor
coaches and trainers. Of whom there Is a
small army. Even the men who rub the
players down come In for thousand
dollar slice OF tho team funds. Tho train
tables cost 800 a week each, and tho doc
tors get about a thousand dollars from
each team. The department of adminis-
tratlon calls for $4,000 to cover adver-
tisIng. printing 'aud other promotion eN-
penscs. Hotel bills, railroad fare .roph-
les and an endless variety OF other things
cali for an outlay OF thousands o' dol
lars Each team squeezes the life out
Of "a fun hundred footballs in the course
of a single season.
But these expenses Of the teams them
selves are nothing as compared with those
Incurred by the people who go TO soc
this great classic OF Che football world
The New Haven railroad counts on an
annual revenue of at least 100000 from
the game.

This has been a favorfte thane Of the opponents Of Bryan and his fae- ton, Republicans and Democrats alike MT. Bryan wanted to pack the sunrenne \ Court; he favored the election Of an Judges. We'll if he still holds that View, he would be no such danger 1o intergrity and independence Of inc Courts as is Mir. Roosevelt. SuehNa de- nunciation of Judge Grosscup and his associates as he uttered on Thursday makes Mir. Bryan look as harnaIess as sucking dove. Of course, we are among those who believe that MT. Taft, having been a Judge himself must in his heart of hearts be as out of sympathy with the Presidents out bursts as every other lawyer. But to say that does not help the case any for he himself refuses to be inter viewed. and is so obviously determined to be guided only by Mir. Roosevelt's policies and point of view that 1t is Idle to expect that he will publicly en- courage any voter to believe that he will do otherwise than Mr. Roosevelt fl elected. This is one of the little pen- alties of being a creature of another man. Mfr. Tafts mouth is sealed on many questions by loyalty. gratitude and personal affection. Some of these questions the Demoeraties are likely to ask him from every stump and plat. form.

Woman Toagher Thaa .sIas !.

 Although men as they run are per- haps muscularly stronger than women. tneir inability to withstand the ale- ments and their reliance upon clothes places them considerably below the so- called weaker sex in the matter of un- clothed touRhness Women wear clothes for ornament; men use them as a protective covering. A group of men marooned clornsless on an island in the temperate zone might be expected to de or in a month from draughta and colds and rheumatism.
