The coming reunion of the Allen 
family, at Manchester, revives an in- 
terest in our local annals. Now is a 
good time to refresh the memory by 
re-reading our admirable Town His- 
tory. 
Of the total county tax of $341,600 
levied by the county commissioners 
the apportionment for Manchester 
is $13,350.20, only $10,000 less than 
the: city’ vot Salem. The tax last 
yeat was $12,500. 
Tlie third Essex district, ac- 
cording to the new senatorial redis- 
tricting bill, includes Gloucester, 
Manchester, Rockport, Essex, Ham- 
ilton, Wenham, Topsfield, Ipswich, 
Rowley, Newbury, West Newbury, 
Newburyport and Salisbury. The 
towns added are Salisbury and 
West Newbury, which are trans- 
ferred from the fourth district, and 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Topsfield from the fifth. Otherwise 
there is no change. 
While Salem and other near-by 
cities and towns are sweating under 
the pressure of the so-called ice trust, 
and people are getting only 12 to 15 
pounds of ice for ten cents, Manches- 
ter people can feel happy of the fact 
they can get 25 pounds for the same 
amount. Though this is five to ten 
pounds less than previous years the 
local ice-men say they may be sorry 
for such low prices before the sum- 
mer is over, and they are unable to 
get enough ice to supply their cus- 
tomers at any price. 
What’s the matter with us here in 
Manchester the last three or four 
years? Why can’t we get together and 
have a rousing good water carnival? 
With so many boats of various kinds, 
motor launches, yachts, large’ and 
small, dories, sail boats, and cruising 
yachts, and apparently some good 
yachting spirits, why not put some of 
our enthusiasm intoa water carnival? 
Our harbor has been a splendid place 
for such things in the past, why not 
try it again? 
A Communication 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
What is the matter with the citi- 
zens of Manchester? 
When the greatest of all songs 
was being sung at the Town wharf 
yesterday at the services in honor 
of the sailor dead the writer could 
see only two men who took off their 
hats. If there be anything. - for 
which we ought to take off our 
hats, it certainly must be when 
“America” is being sung. ‘There 
was shown very little reverence for 
the same hymn at the conclusion of 
the entertainment in Town hall in 
the evening. A great many were 
struggling for the doors as if a fire 
were raging under their feet. We 
ought to know how to conduct our- 
selves when we go off to such a cel- 
ebration as that of yesterday, in 
honor of the Nation’s dead. Let us 
try to improve this a little. 
Just a few words to you boys be- 
fore concluding: When you want to 
honor any of our heroes or states- 
men do not yell as demonstrating 
Russians; but if you want to ex- 
press your feelings let it be done 
through a clear cheer. Do not let 
us stain such occasions with any 
beastly outbreak; there is time 
enough for that between our na- 
tional holidays, and let these be kept 
iree from all everyday disturbances.

WHISPERINGS 
Whisperings have come to my 
ears pi a couple of popular Man- 
chester High school boys, who cel- 
ebrated Decoration day with a num- 
ber of other Manchester fellows 
- seeing the sights at Revere Beach 
and Wonderland. They all enjoyed 
the day immensely, but as they 
were partaking of some of those 
fried clams for which the beach is 
so famous, about 6 o’clock, the eyes 
of two of the boys fell upon two 
fair Boston damsels about their 
own age. It took but a little time 
to break the ice and before long they 
were seeing Wonderland. The 
evening passed all too quickly, and 
so much taken were the two lads 
from the seashore with their city 
friends that the last train for Man- 
chester had gone. They reached 
Lynn by the narrow gauge, how- 
ever, about 2 o’clock and vamped it 
home from there, reaching Man- 
chester Thursday morning about 
an hour before the first train.

A westerner tells the story of an 
automobilist who met an elderly 
couple driving a skittish horse 
which decidedly objected to passing 
an unknown vehicle. The driver of 
the tar stopped to offer his aid, but 
the man declined it with the re- 
main: 
“Tf you lead my old woman by, 
I guess the hoss and I can make it 
all right.”
