WHISPERINGS 
An amusing incident occurred at 
the Magnolia station last Sunday 
afternoon. William Nelson, the 
colored porter on the private car, 
“ Rockmarge,”’ which brought Mr. 
and Mrs. Edward S. Moore on from 
St Louis, saw a wood-chuck disap- 
pear in a hole near the side-track. 
The idea occurred to him that he 
might capture Mr. .Wood-chuck by 
means of a hook and line. Baiting 
the hook with a tempting morsel of 
cabbage he pushed the hook far into 
the hole with a piece of telegraph 
wire. Then, returning to the car, he 
awaited results. Not many minutes 
passed before he felt a vigorous pull 
on the line. Promptly hauling it in 
he was surprised to find he had cap- 
tured Mr. Wood-chuck, which was 
later given to Mr. Moore, who took it 
with him to be used asa pet.

I heard whisperings a few days 
ago of a certain well-known Man- 
chester man who tried to bring a 
cat—a_ pretty little kitten—home 
from West Gloucester. His friend 
here in Manchester, who owns a 
horse and buggy, offered the fel- 
low the use of his rig any time he 
was not using it himself, so Sun- 
day he came around and borrowed 
it. He went to West Gloucester for 
the day, and during his visit he was 
presented with a pretty little kit- 
ten. The question of getting it 
home td Manchester was not a very 
hard one, for he borrow a covered 
basket and, as he thought, securely 
locked Miss (or Mr.) Pussy inside. 
But to his surprise, when he 
reached home and unfastened the 
basket the little feline was not 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
within; it had apparently per- 
formed a Houdini stunt. Not 
to be outwitted by a little cat how- 
ever, the fellow went to-his friend 
again Monday night and borrowed 
the horse and buggy - the second 
time, explaining he wanted to go 
back over the route in hopes of find- 
ing the kitten in the Cove woods 
or still: farther down the road. I 
have not heard how he came out.

We are reminded of the humil- 
iating experience of some New 
Yorkers who came to Boston to 
attend the Myopia races some years 
ago. They hired a carriage and 
told the driver where they wanted 
to go, pronouncing the name of 
the club under whose auspices the 
races were held as. well as_ they 
knew how. 
“What's Myopia mean, any- 
how?” said one of the New 
York gentlemen to the driver. 
“Myopia,” answered the accom- 
plished Boston hackman, “is de- 
rived from the Greek and it signi- 
fies nearsightedness.” 
“Drive on!” said the New York- 
ers.
