‘WHISPERINGS 
“OQ Love! what is it in this world 
of ours which makes it fatal to be 
loved?” “Love bears within its 
breast the very germ of change.” 
These two verses from Byron have 
been suggested as most suitable sub- 
jects for the next meeting of the Hap- 
hazard club of Manchester.

“The Lookout” in the Gloucester 
Times makes a slight rap at my friend 
Geo. E. Willmonton in the following 
manner: 
‘In reading an account in the North 
Shore Breeze of the. fire which de- 
stroyed the Pulsifer block in Man- 
chester recently, I noticed that the 
insurance agent who carried a great 
deal of the insurance of the tenants 
of the block and also had his own 
/ 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
office there, had no insurance on the 
latter, I can imagine howsome of his 
friends and customers must have 
rubbed it into him after they found it 
out about preaching insurance to them 
and carrying none on his office. It 
seems like a case of the old minister, 
who when caught by one of his parish- 
ioners in something against which he 
had especially warned his flock, in a 
sermon, remarked ‘My brother, you 
should do as I say and not as I do.’”’

Quatrains 
In ancient story we are told 
That Midas’ touch turned everything to gold. 
But we today more commonly behold 
Men turn to anything when touched with 
gold! 
A good place for Pater and Mater, 
Is an up-town flat. 
Notice the elevator? 
You can raise children with that! 
Troubles not singly come, 
But by the score, 
And thro’ the breach one sorrow makes, 
Come many more. 
Of all the words of tongue or pen 
That can our cares disperse, 
The fittest are these, It might have been 
Worse! 
Additional Water 
Supply for Manchester 
Freeman C., Coffin, the well-known 
civil engineer and expert in water 
works construction, who was engaged 
by the Water Department to investi- 
gate the matter of additional water 
supply and better service for Man-

presents two plans,—one for the de- 
velopment of the Beaver Dam Mead- 
ow project, and the other, more asa 
substitute plan, of a temporary nature. 
The board, not knowing how best to 
decide upon the matter, and which of 
the plans to recommend, presented 
‘the scheme before the finance com- 
mittee, fire engineers and other town 
officials at a meeting called for the 
purpose in the town hall, Monday 
evening. The report of the engineers 
and also that of the State Board of 
Health was read by F. J. Merrill, and
