““W Hose reward was a large basket of 
fruit, each piece ellipsoidal and Sept 
a bright yellow with a greenish tinge,’’ 
is the suggestive expression used by 
‘Town Topics in saying that a Newport- 
er, to use the vernacular, “‘ got the 
lemon.’’ 
Wuat a splendid month September 
has been! North Shore people are be- 
ginning to learn that the ““summer sea- 
son’’ does not end with August and that 
September and October are in many re- 
spects the most attractive months of the 
year on the shore. ‘The weather of the 
past month has certainly excelled in most 
respects the days of Juneor July. A 
great many families all along the shore 
are planning to remain this autumn until 
the “‘last gun is fired.’” More houses 
than usual are to be kept open all win- 
ter.

DEMORALIZING TO CHILDREN. 
Comic Supplements of Sunday Newspapers 
Severely Condemned. 
One of the chief features of the Amer- 
ican playgrounds congress held in New 
York last week was the spirited attack of 
a young Cincinnati woman, Miss Maud 
Summers, on the comic sections of Sun- 
day newspapers. Miss Summers, one 
of the best known story tellers for chil- 
dren in this country, was vigorously ap- 
plauded when she declared that in these 
papers emphasis was placed on deceit, 
on cunning and on disrespect for gray 
hairs. 
‘©The comic supplement of the Sun- 
day newspapers is lowering the standard 
of literary appreciation,’’ saidshe, ‘‘ and 
debasing the morals of the children of 
this country. It teaches children to 
laugh when boys throw water from an 
upper window upon an apple woman or 
outwit an old and infirm man. Humor 
has its place in the literature of child- 
hood, and it would be well if gifted writ- 
ers for children could be found capable 
of substituting genuine fun for the coarse, 
vulgar type now so prominent. 
** The child learns in but one way— 
by reproducing in his own activity the 
thing he wishes to be. By means of the 
imagination the child forms a mental pic- 
ture, which he holds in mind and strives 
to imitate. Therefore the most vital 
purpose of the story is to give high ideals 
which are reproduced in character. 
‘“TIn consequence it is of the utmost 
importance that the story shall have at 
its heart a spiritual truth, or, in other 
words, that it shall have a right motive. 
This truth may be any one of the many 
virtues, such as generosity, kindness, 
hospitality, courage, heroism and chival- 
ry. It should be worked out interms of 
cause and effect, according to the im- 
mutable law of literature, the law of com- 
pensation which rewards the good, and 
of retributive justice, which punishes the 
bad.’’---American Press.

Our attention was called lasst night 
to the condition of a portion of the side- 
walk in front of a certain store in Man- 
chester, by the proprietor of the store, 
and we were requested to say something 
in the paper of the habit some people 
have of leaning up against some of the 
store windows and “‘decorating’’ the 
sidewalk about them with expectoration. 
This is a bad practice and should be 
stopped in some way. ‘The particular 
case in question was one of the worse 
sights of the kind we had noticed on our 
streets for some time. The board of 
health should tack up notices about 
spitting on streets as is done in othel 
towns and cities and then have the police 
enforce the law. 
New Train Schedule. 
In fact, there is no new train schedule 
as far as the North Shore is concerned, 
for when the winter arrangement of 
trains goes into effect next Monday, the 
arrangement on the Gloucester branch 
does-not change, but remains precisely 
as it has been all summer, with one ex- 
ception that the two Saturday afternoon 
trains,—leaving Boston at one o'clock 
and returning from Rockport about 2.45 
—are taken off. A minorchange in the 
running schedule of one train. is also 
noted,—that of the early evening train 
for Boston. ‘This will go up the branch 
now ten minutes later,—leaving Man- 
chester at 6.31 and Beverly Farms at 
6.38. 
Certainly nobody ought to find fault 
with this arrangement. Fifteen regular 
passenger trains each way daily between 
Boston and the North Shore, and nine 
trains each way on Sunday. 
N. S. Horticultural Society. 
The discussion committee of the 
North Shore Horticultural society,—A. 
Shaw, J. Scott and A. E. Parsons—are 
planning to put some new life into the 
society this winter and to make the meet- 
ings of interest, so that the members will 
come out in larger numbers. To this 
end, and as a beginning, they have sent 
out notices to members for the meeting 
tonight calling attention to the meeting 
and to the fact that Wilfred Wheeler of 
Concord will be the speaker. 
A Question Box is to be instituted at 
the meeting tonight, too, and this ought 
to prove an interesting feature as there 
will be, no doubt, some difficult querries 
from time to time. Light refreshments 
will be served tonight, as is usually the 
case at the meetings, anyway. 
It is reported that there will be ex- 
hibited at this meeting an enormous 
pumpkin, and the committee very sug- 
gestively asks in their notices: ‘* Have 
you got anything to bring along for the 
exhibition table,--a handful of fine 
dahlias, some extra fine corn, or a new 
variety of bugs?’’ 
Let the Breeze do your printing 
whenever you have any. Prices reason- 
able, work always done _Promptly and 
neatly. *
