A French woman bound from New

from the 806 train Thursday night, 
and discovered her predicament. It 
seems she bought her ticket to Man-

her money enough to reach her desti- 
nation.

day morning, which came near result- 
ing badly for the nonagenarian. He 
went from his home on Ashland ave- 
nue to the postoffice and returned 
without resting at a]l, and when near- 
ing home he felt fatigued and some- 
what dizzy, but thought he could reach 
home safely. Just as he turned down 
Ashland avenue he fell forward, se- 
verely scratching his nose and. face 
and receiving minor bruises, but 
nothing at all serious. Thomas Beaton 
saw the fall and was quickly at hand. 
Deacon Low was taken home, and 
now only smiles at the instance when 
itis brought up.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
In Role of Actors. 
The students of the Story High 
school of Manchester assumed the 
role of actors Thursday night, when 
Longfellow’s ‘Song of Hiawatha”’ 
was staged in town hall. The play 
was given by the class of 1905, assisted 
by other pupils. A representative 
Manchester audience filled the hall. 
There were nine scenes to the play, 
and they were carried out with prompt- 
ness. The various parts were well 
memorized and aptly handled by the 
amateur actors and actresses. 
Hiawatha’s wooing in scenc 6, when 
Arrowmaker (Lewis Hooper) gave 
his daughter, Minnehaha (Fannie 
Knight), in marriage to Hiawatha 
(Harry Floyd), was particularly well 
carried out. And the wedding feast 
and picture writing scene following 
and the beggar’s dance by Pau-Puk 
Keewis (Lagory Wade) were equally 
as interesting. 
The curtain rose with the braves 
smoking the peace pipes and closes 
with Hiawatha’s departure for the 
‘Land of the Hereafter.” Samuel 
Knight represented Hiawatha, the 
boy ; Charles Dodge, Hiawatha, the 
youth; and Harry Floyd, Hiwatha, 
the man. 
During the play Miss Annie L. 
Lane played selections from ‘‘ Hia- 
watha’s Wedding Feast,’’ Miss Fannie 
Knight sang “ Old Shoes,” and Miss 
Mabel Olsen sang “ Bark Canoe.”

Those Browntail Moths. 
MANCHESTER, Mass., Dec. 23, ’04. 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
DEAR Sir: If you will kindly allow us the 
space in your valuable paper, we would like 
again to urge upon the property holders of 
our town the necessity of renewed energy in 
removing the nests of the brown-tail and 
gypsy moths. Ifwe are to rid ourselves of 
these pests, or even check their ravages, this. 
action must be concerted; we must all see 
that our own places are cleared. 
The committee has received some contri- 
butions, but not enough to attend to the 
whole work;; still, if there be any one who is 
unable to attend to this matter, if he will 
notify the committee, they will see that it is 
done. 
Now let us all get to work before it is too 
late. 
Thanking you for your kindness in allow- 
ing us this space, I am yours truly, 
JOHN BAKER, Ch. of Com.
