The BREEZE is for sale at all news stands on the 
North Shore. 
Port Arthur has “fallen” a good 
many times within the past few 
months, yet, like truth, she always 
seems to ‘“‘rise again.’’ We are still 
looking for the solar plexus blow. 
Judge Parker in all good faith de- 
clares he will not be a candidate. for 
re-election. Undoubtedly his tongue 
was guided by wise forethought. e- 
election can come only after e/ectzon. 
Another society event for the bene- 
fit of the Beverly hospital. First the 
circus and now the comic opera. 
North Shore society has been very 
generous to worthy local institutions 
this year. 
Next week is Grand Army week in 
Boston, and the North Shore is to be 
well represented. The ranks are 
growing thinner, the steps weaker, 
but the same old spirit that preserved 
the Union is still here. All honor to 
the boys in blue. 
“The crusade of Chief of Police 
Peabody of Manchester against fast 
autos seems to have a telling effect.” 
—Gloucester 7zmes. 
Yes ; and its about time to do some- 
thing down Gloucester way, too. 
That state road between Magnolia 
and Gloucester is a veritable race 
track for autos. 
The North Shore was visited the 
week past by several of the smooth 
tongued gentry who are _ seeking 
reciprocity pledges from the republi- 
can voters. Some were beguiled into 
signing the petitions presented. How- 
ever, it will take more than a few 
smooth speaking solicitors to down 
the junior senator from Massachu- 
setts. His record shows how he 
stands, and the people have confidence 
in him, as well they may. 
The Queen’s hotel lot was sold dur- 
ing the week for about thirty cents 
per foot. We should say the City of 
Beverly should.purchase at such a 
figure. The marine park is small and 
should be made larger now that there 
is Opportunity. No better site fora 
park is to be found inall New England, 
and Beverly will make a great mistake 
if she fails to grasp the opportunity 
offered at this time. 
For Better Streets, 
Beverly Farms folk are circulating 
a petition, we understand, with the 
intention of later presenting it to the 
Beverly City government, asking 
them to takea look at the streetsdown 
at the Farms and at Pride’s Crossing, 
and incidentally asking them to take 
some action toward providing better 
streets. The roads must indeed be in 
pretty bad condition to necessitate 
any such move as this; yet we feel 
sure the city fathers will see the 
necessity of paying close attention to 
the matter when it comes to their 
notice. Beverly Farms and Pride’s 
Crossing furnish a generous share 
of the taxes with which the city’s ex- 
penses are paid and the least thing 
the city can do is to furnish in re- 
turn good streets upon which the 
smart hitches and costly autos may 
jog along without continually calling 
the attention of the occupants to the 
condition of the roadway. 
A Welcome Visitor. 
The BREEZE, with this issue com- 
pletes three months of its existence. 
What our success has been we leave 
to our readers to say. Our special 
articles have been a most attractive 
feature and one that has been greatly 
appreciated by North Shore readers. 
We have now a number of articles 
ofascientific, historical and descriptive 
nature, of special interest to all North 
Shore readers which we shall publish 
each week through the remainder of 
the summer, and through the fall and 
winter. 
“Devoted to the interests of the 
North Shore”’ is the: motto of the 
BREEZE and we shall live up to it. 
If you want to know all about the 
North Shore, its past and its present, 
its beauties, its attractions and its 
people, if you desire to have in your 
home each week or to send to your 
friends a news-magazine that is repre- 
sentative of North Shore life and 
North Shore ideals, you will want the 
North Shore BREEZE every Saturday. 
Incidentally we would say that the 
subscription price of the BREEZE is 
only $1.00a year, mailed to you in any 
part of the United States. A trial 
subscription of three months for only 
twenty-five cents will convince you of 
the truth of our words, and will make 
you a constant reader. We receive 
scores of new subscriptions each week. 
We want yours. 
A Currant Event. 
He was seated in the kitchen, 
Picking currants from their stems, 
The blushing, gushing globules 
Redder than ruby gems. 
I marked his skill and patience, 
And watched him quite a spell, 
Till methought I heard him murmur 
Jam the jam things to jell! 
—J. A. T. 
Getting Ready. 
I, 
The house is cluttered up with trunks and 
grips and telescopes, 
And father’s hunting all around for straps 
and cords and ropes; 
The wagons from department stores leave 
bundles every day, 
And every bed and chair presents a millinery 
display. 
hi: 
My mother’s stitched so much that she is 
growing gaunt and 
The hired girl’s all tired out from running 
the machine; 
They’ve burned eight dollars’ worth of gas 
while sitting up to sew ; 
They’re turning out new dresses in a never 
ending flow. 
HL 
You’d think it meant a wedding, for they 
fuss around enough, 
And they could fit out sixteen brides with 
all that lace and stuff; 
But that’s not it at all; it means that sister 
Grace will go 
Away to make a visit for perhaps a week 
or So. 
—From the Cleveland Leader.
