to run away, but watched us intently,

Everything which men, women, sons

up-to-date stores, to realize how

Start Early in the Day.
In their announcemeut of Dollar
Day the merchants have taken for
their slogan this phrase: Onward to
Norwich. the market place or Eastern
Connecticut. That phrase might De
start Early" Bright and early in
the morning is the time to begin trad
ing and thereby avoid the hustle and
hustle which is sure to ensue as the
day advances. The early bird will not
only avoid the crowd but will also de-
rive many advantages which 1t may
not be possible to obtain later in the
day, The merchants will have their
wares arrayed early in the morning,
so that the early buyers can be ac-
eommodated easily and with despatch.
Our advice to Bulletin readers is to be
on hand early in the day, if possible.
but if you can't come early in the day.
to at least visit the Norwich stores
before closing time on Norwich Dol

About the Silver Dollar.
1t is difhcult to say when and when
the idea of Dollar Day. first origin
ated. The idea probably grew from
the fact that the dollar is the most
popular unit of legal tender. Many OF
US, who live in the East win remem-
Der that some years ago the cumber-
some silver dollar was the form OF
money most frequently used in trading
but today we seldom see silver dol
lar in this section. In the West, how
ever, it is different. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to hand shop keeper q
ten-dollar bill and receive in change
nine big cart wheels. Here is thumb
nail history OF the silver dollar that
may be interesting in this connection:
The silver dollar was authorized by
an act of April Q. 1882. 1t ten weighed
AIS grains. standard silver; its line
ness 1924 was equivalent to 81 Ia
grains of fine silver with Al ga grains
alloy of pure copper.
The weight was changed by an act
Of January Is, 1887. to 412 Ia grains,
and the f1neness was changed to 900,
preserving the same amount of pure
silver, equivalent to ST. la grains,
with lilo alloy.
The coinage was discontinued by
the act of February IL, 1873. The total
amount of silver dollars coined from
1872 to 1873 was $S,045,SSS
The total number Of silver dollars
coined under the act Of February %,
1873, was S7S.1eS.7e3. The total amount
CT silver purchased under the act Of
July II, 1890, commonly known as the
Sherman act" was los. T64,6s2 in fine
ounces.
The superintendent of the unit in
Washington tells US that there has
been no silver dollar coinage since
1904.

Some of the fish were broiled, but
I hesitated about eating them. The

water. drank 1t down. 1t had not the
slightest effect upon him. Never did
