American Trade Long Ago.

To the notices which we have from
time to time published of the favorable
posture of trade we may add a graft
flying view of our commerce with the
United States. It's extent is probably
more considerable than our readers
would imagine. The exports from
Scotland of manufactured goods to va
riOus parts of the Union will this year
amount to about 100000 The mag
nitude of the sum will appear more
surprising when we consider the re-
strictiOns which prohibit US from TAX
ing in exchange agricultural produce.
A trade so important it behooYes us to
cherish with all possible care, and it is
gratifying to think that customers SO
valuable are a free people, little likely
to impede her prosperity by projects of
ambition.-London Globe, 1922.

Whether Roosevelt is too near-sight-

going to be a presidential factor in

sovereign.

Carl Schurz Is right. A war with
Germany would be an atrocity. In
fact, for the United States to go to
war with any nation that can't shoot
straighter than the German can would
be like murder.

commandant gave a vivid description OF Uncle

ON YALE CAMPUS.
Some Interesting "Characters" Who
Haunt 1t.

New-Haven. Conn, Nov. "A CSpeciaD.-There are
six thousand Yale graduates in the last ten classes
That means six thousand Yale men know old
Pop" Smith. As every one of those six thousand
men has at time or another pointed out the
white haired old Yale mascot to half dozen
other persons 1t is safe guess TO place the census
of American citizens who have gazed understand
ingly the peaceful countenance Of this old col
lege char acter at thirtysiX thousand. After that
higher mathematics alone compute the num-
bers who have seen and wondered at the little old
man. as he has stumbled across a Yale athletic
field with his and has sat down on the bench
with the players.
Pop" Smith has been one Of the fixtures of Yale
undergraduate life for long a time that nobody
can tell when he began to be famous. And nobody
knows out Of what limbo Of ordinary civic life the
little old emerged to take A front seat in the
undergraduate regard Like Topsy. he 'growed."
And for a long time no Yale team thought II had
the slightest show TO win a game unless the CHEEKY
little old presided over the water bottles.
There is no record that Pop" Smith ever had any
official connection with Yale teams that he ever
figured in the account books. but just the same he
has been regular part Of Yale baseball game
and OF a good many Yale football games for the
last ten years have the trainers.
It was only recently that Pop" Smith acquired
an afiiction Of the eyes that has kept him out Of
his former active participation in undergraduate
affairs. Where. before. he used 10 sit the bench
under the srandstand and pound with his cane
whenever a Yale player made base hit. last

score card under the visor Of his hat, and looked
melancholy lie is probably past the days when
he used TO jump out home run and dance up
and down in a little. old fashioned Jig, and get
round OF applause from the bleachers. But he is
stin far from past the days when he can mascot
a Yale team. and he probably will be at
Yale Field next spring, usual
But the Yale campus has other characters be-
sides Pop Smith who help make undergraduate
life hilarious. There are the numerous old clothes
men. who hang about the entrances 10 the college
square and try to buttonhoe the undergraduates.
These men make Food thing out OF their bust
ness association with the students. AS rule, the
college men don't know what TO do with their
clothes. and most OF their suits cast of be-
fore they are worn enough to show it. The old
clothes dealers bag great quantities OF these, pay
ing cash down. and after repairing and sometimes
dyeing. sell them over again.
There IS one well stocked shop in the outskirts
OF the city that has counters laden with the old
suits Of the undergTaduates-the very latest fash
ions IN coats and trousers expensive imported
cloths and the best products OF exclusive tailors.
A dozen or more Of Solomon engage in this
trade and find II profitable. The king of the lot,

however. is 'Moses"-"shorty Moses"-who has for
a generation been the best and worst example of a
small tradesman the Yale students have encoun-
tered; best because he has made good deal OF
money out OF the undergraduates; worst, because
Yale has yet appeared who can beat him
a bargain. Shorty Moses is. as his name sug-
gests. diminutive Hebrew. Going out of the
campus gate. staggering under a mountain OF pants
and vests. shorty Moses is the figure which is
called up in the mind OF any Yale man of the last
ten years when ''od clothes is mentioned. He al
ways has the butt end of a lighted cigar In his
mouth, n small brown derby hat on his head. and
engaging grin. He does more business in ten
minutes than n drygoods merchant IN twenty.
His favorte scheme is to inveigle Undergraduate
into bargain and then play heads win, tails
you lose proposition with him. Many are the
stories told of Shorty Moses" in which the ac-
copied formulas OF the classroom as to business
