and SO on.
"The word please" Mr.. Ulrich ex.
planned to reporter, was used In
our telephone business 100000 times a
day. Allowing half a second for its
utterance, that meant daily waste Of
1875 hours. Why shouldn't all those
hours be saved, saved for sumo better

LONG YALE MASCOT
RECENT DEATH OF HANNIBAL
REGRETTED ~ ALL.
Quaint Old Negro Candy Man Had an
Interesting carser-eaId to Have
Been More Than . Gen.
tury Old.

The death Of Hannibal. the negro
candy man, has left Yale with no mas
cot but Pop" Warner, the crosseyed
expressman, whose auto truck now
takes an oficial crowd to all the ath-
letic games. Pop" has just made his
debut, and 1t will be years before he
attains the fame Of Pop" Smith.
"Davy, the candy man." Murray. the
hackman," and Hannibal.
In many respects Hannibal was the
most remarkable OF the long list Of
Yale favorites. He was gifted with q
versatility granted to few men, black
or white. He was one of the campus
favorites in 1869, when G. F. Woods
wrote in -Four Years at Yale:"
Candy Sans chief rival Is a crafty
black man named Hannibal, whose en-.
trance into the room Is always &C.
companied by some such formula as:

In purchasing from me some packages
Of superior old-fashioned homemade
molasses candy This rlgmarole, like
the rest Of Hannibars speeches. is de.
livered with the greatest appearance
Of gravity and without pause or in.
Election of any sort"
Hannibal's age was in dispute. He
was said to have crossed the century
mark. One Of his original sayings
when asked how old he was used to be
that he had faint recollection Of
the first thunderstorm In Connecticut.
The mock orations he delivered will
live in the memory Of Yale men as
long as they cherish a recollection Of
the university, and hardly an alumnus
will read OF his death without re.
calling some anecdote Of the old negro
who sold candy. gave boxing lessons,
sleight Of hand exhibitions, sang and
danced and made speeches on all
occasions.
Early In life he was an instructor
in boxing in the Yale gymnasium. He
was one Of the quickest pugilists in
action who ever struck a blow, and he
met George Dixon In several bouts
without the former negro worlds
champion getting the decision. He
was thrown into room with John L.
Sullivan when that champion was at
the height of his popularity. John L.
at that time weighed more than 250
pounds. and when Hannibal was asked
II he wished to meet the champion he
answered: Hannibal is not Mahomet
and must refuse to mix It up with the
mountain"
| Approaching a group of college stu
dents. Hannibal used to say: MOT

custom through life, would like tc

Everybody took a chance in an
swering. and when all had finished
Hannibal would say: Not wishing t.
