NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
“Uncle ‘Dan on Old Days at 
Harvard.”’ 
The New York Evening Post re- 
- cently published under the caption 
*““Unele Dan on Old Days at Har- 
vard’’ interesting reminiscences of 
celebrities and their connection 
with the college in years gone by. 
We quote those alluding to the late | 
Oliver Wendell Holmes of Beverly 
Farms and Dr. Bartol of Manchester- 
by-the-Sea :— : 
“‘Unele Dan was in reminiscent 
mood. Now, Uncle Dan is a Harvard 
man of the day when Hollis and Hol- 
worthy were up to date dormitories. 
No. 9 Hollis was his number, and 
No. 9 Hollis was heated by a stove 
in winter, and coal had to be brought 
up from the cellar, and there were 
goodies who took care of you and — 
your room. Chapel was compulsory 
in Uncle Dan’s day, and nearly all 
his friends owned long coats and 
long boots, in which the dash to 
morning prayers might be made. 
‘Ty, Holmes is always the delight 
of the storyteller, and Uncle Dan 
recalls how, when Holmes was just 
a struggling young doctor some- 
where along Charles street, he once 
threatened to put out a sign, ‘Small 
fevers gratefully received.’ And 
how when later he had grown fa- 
mous, he answered the young woman 
autograph seeker from Manchester- 
by-the-Sea, with a note signed ‘‘Oli- 
ver Wendell Holmes, Beverly-by-the- 
Postoffice.”’ 
“Speaking of Beverly reminded 
Uncle Dan of Dr. Bartol, of the old 
West Church who years and years 
ago, before anybody thought much 
about the North Shore, began to put 
all his spare cash into shore land 
along the line of Beverly, Manches- 
_ ter, Magnolia, and other late-named 
places. A parishioner or some other 
well-meaning person once remon- 
strated with the good doctor against 
this seeming loss of good interest. 
Dr. Bartol answered: ‘Friend, you 
and a lot of other folks seem to for- 
get that the Lord Almighty has 
stopped making sea coast.’ Uncle 
Dan says the Bartol heirs are glad 
the old doctor did not forget. 
Greatest Story in History for Ameri- 
_cans Being Unfolded Day by 
Day in the Boston Globe 
We have come to the 50th anni- 
versary of. the most stirring events 
in American history, the great revolt 
of the south and the mighty uprising 
of the north in the war that over- 
threw slavery and kept the union 
whole. The Boston Globe will un- 
fold for its readers the story of that 
TRADE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH CANADA. 
Public interest in the pending reciprocity treaty with Canada lends 
interest to some figures just prepared by the Bureau of Statistics, De- 
partment of Commerce and Labor, showing the trade of the United 
States with Canada during a term of years and the principal articles 
forming the trade in the latest available year, 1910. The total value of 
imports from, and exports to Canada at decennial years since 1850 is

Collected, the articles will form a 
_ simple, complete and accurate pic- 
torial history of the successive steps 
that led up to the first shot in the 
great conflict. In a scrap book they 
will make a unique journal of the 
eretest conflict in American history.
