Loyalty Needed 
If the old Republican Town Com- 
mittee of Manchester wants to demon- 
strate their loyalty to the party they 
should buckle down and work for the 
nominees of the conventions. | 
We have heard some talk about the 
merit that the Democratic candidate 
for senator from this district is sup- 
posed to possess ; and the indications 
are that the sore spots on some of the 
members of the old committee are not 
healing very well. They do not ap- 
pear at present to be willing to take 
the medicine that they prescribed on 
administering to the new converts 
from the Democratic ranks at the 
caucus. 
These latter all had to make oath 
they would support the nominees of 
the party. Evidently the new re- 
cruits will make better Republicans 
than some of the old timers. 
The Shrieking Siren 
Out of Place on an Auto 
One of the city dailies has given 
vent to the following in its editorial 
column, which every owner of an 
auto on the North Shore should read 
and heed and keep in mind till next 
season : 
«“ The increasing use on automo- 
biles in this country of a shrill and 
strident invention of a man unused to 
nerves called a ‘siren’ is fit subject 
for repressive legislation. The noises 
of a city are fierce enough without 
taking this shrieking wail of the sea 
into our avenues. It frightens horses 
—small blame to them—-and it 
frightens pedestrians. 
“The only rightful purpose of a 
horn on an automobile is to give 
warning of its approach. 
“If the warning is more terrifying 
than the unsuspected dash of the 
machine itself, it will only add to the 
danger. 
« All the civilized countries of 
Europe have prohibited the use of 
sirens. This should be done by state 
or local authorities here, if the owners 
of autos cannot see that the use of 
this appliance is a bit of rowdyism, 
justly liable to bring its perpetrator 
into common contempt.”’ 
WHISPERINGS. 
Ticket Agent E. C. Clifford of the 
Beverly station of the Boston & Maine 
railroad learned of a new designation 
for Manchester, N.H., this morning. 
Mr. Clifford was busily engaged in 
selling pasteboards, when a smartly 
attired drummer stepped up to the 
window and asked for a ticket to 
Manchester. 
“Do you want a ticket to Manches- 
ter-by-the-Sea?”’ asked the ticket seller 
in his pleasantest manner. 
“No, not by-the-sea, I want a ticket 
to Manchester-buy-the-Beer,”’ was the 
drummer’s laughing answer. 
It took a second or two for Clifford 
to recover, and for the remainder of 
the morning when a man asked for a 
ticket to Manchester he dropped “ by- 
the-sea’”’ designation and asked the 
would-be purchaser if he desired the 
town in Massachusetts or the city in 
New Hampshire.— Beverly Times.

Three young society men of Albany, 
out on an automobile trip, were held 
up Tuesday on the road to Lenox and, 
at the point of a revolver, were lec- 
tured on the evils of automobiling. 
This is anew terror. How would it 
do for the Manchester police to adopt 
this method ? 
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo ; 
Stop the auto—run it slow; 
Lecture ’em and let ’em go, 
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo.

“Here, Here! What are you do- 
ing ?”’ said a coachman in front of the 
Manchester post office the other day 
as a young lad threw an apple at him. 
The youngster was almost crying, 
after being censured by the irate man, 
and said : 
‘Well, it wasn’t a rotten one.” 
Sand 
(Written for the BREEZE.) 
When the rails are smooth and icy, 
And the drives slide and slip, 
It takes sand to move the engine; 
It takes sand to make the trip. 
So it is with us poor mortals 
When our plans go all awry. 
When we toil without progressing, 
Tis the time your sand to try. 
When you see a man disheartened — 
Hopeless, aimless, on the strand, 
You can put it down for granted 
’Tis because he lacks the sand. 
When the grade is stiff and greasy, 
And your load is pulling back, 
Don’t give up the cab, but push her; 
Put some sand upon your track. 
Mr. Fenton Resigns 
David Fenton has resigned as sup- 
erintendent of David Fenton Company 
of Manchester and has sold his inter- 
est in the boat building business con- 
ducted by the concern to his co-part- 
ner Mr. A. H. Higginson. 
Walter B. Calderwood, who has 
been employed by the company for 
some months, succeeds Mr. Fenton. 
Mr. Calderwood is a Camden, Me., 
man, but he came to Manchester from 
four years of service at Lawley’s, 
South Boston. Mr. Fenton says he 
has made no plans for the future yet. 
He started business here in 1892, 
when he bought out Mr. Crooker, 
former station agent, by whom he 
was employed, and conducted the 
business alone three years. He was 
in business with T. L. White several™ 
years, and was again alone. Then, 
with Mr. Higginson, a corporation 
was formed, which gained control of 
the whole property at this point. Mr. 
Higginson now controls the whole 
business. : 
New Train Arrangement 
The fall and winter arrangement of 
trains on this division of the Boston & 
Maine goes into effect Monday and 
a complete table of trains will be 
found on page 23 of this issue. The 
Gloucester branch trains are practi- 
cally the same as during the summer, 
with the exception of a few minutes 
change in one or two instances. The 
extra Saturday afternoon train is 
dropped.
