May Day tomorrow! 
DeEcoRATION Day falls this year on 
Monday, May 31. 
Ir you are a man of more than 20 
years, a resident in Manchester, do not 
forget to leave a memorandum giving 
your name, age, occupation, and resi- 
dence for May 1, 1909, for the conven- 
ience of the assessor assigned to listing 
work in the district where you live. The 
assessors start out on their work tomor- 
row morning, May l. 
Tue tide changes! Though the tide 
flows strongly toward Gloucester this af- 
ternoon and tonight, it will change be- 
fore tomorrow morning’s sun rises, and 
will be owing toward Salem with full 
vim before Saturday night. The 10.20 
from Salem will be the ‘““booze’’ train 
from now on. Gloucester hars close 
Salem’s open tomorrow morn- 
Manchester is between 
tonight; 
ing. Verily, 
two fires! 
THE movement to commemorate the 
three-hundreth anniversary of The Land- 
ing of the Pilgrims and the Founding of 
New England by a World’s Tercenten- 
nial Exposition in Boston in 1920, has 
gained headway every day since its an- 
nouncement a fortnightago. New Eng- 
land alone, of all parts of the Union, has ° 
never had its World’s Fair; and it is be- 
lieved that the national and universal in- 
terest in the historic event which the Ex- 
position will commemorate will com- 
mand the enthusiastic approval and sup- 
port of the American people of all sec- 
tions and of all classes. 
Manchester and other sections of the 
North Shore will naturally share in the 
interest and enthusiasm, as this part of 
Massachusetts bay is rich in the events 
and scenes that made up the early days 
of New England.

: (ft the Breezes § 
Beverly is getting publicity to the very 
ends of the country, if not the entire 
world, and hundreds of newspapers are 
commending the spot as an ideal one. 
The history and charms of the Garden 
city are being written up as never before, 
mostly in a respectful and creditable 
manner. ‘The following, clipped from 
the New York Sun, is a specimen of 
some of the more practical: 
" Beverly-by-the-Depot.”’ 
A wonderful city 
Has sprung in the night 
Upon the map, blotting 
All others from sight. 
New York, London, Paris 
Are not in its class, 
They’ll have to take hats off 
To Beverly, Mass. 
Reporters and sages 
Will swarm to its door, 
The cranks and the statesmen 
Upon it will pour. 
All capitals other 
Will please go to gras3, 
The whole nation centres 
In Beverly, Mass. 
Old landmarks historic 
In interest will fade, 
Old shrines be as nothing 
Before the new made, 
The shades of the Pilgrims 
Will mutter: ‘‘ Alas, 
We ought to have landed 
At Beverly, Mass.’’

Ter eS 
May Flowers. 
When April snows were lingering inthe woods, 
I sought again the sylvan solitudes, 
Tracing the path thro’ devious ways and dank, 
To where the sunlight kissed a sloping bank. 
With eager eye and hand I stooped to trace 
The early May Flower, genius of the place. 
With tender grace the pale pink clusters grew, 
But Spring was laggard and its mates were few. 
Its rusty leaves hugged round its shrinking form, 
Nourished and fenced it from the cold and 
storm, 
The while, obedient to the season’s date, 
It raised its head and bravely dared its fate. 
So did it bloom three centuries ago, 
The first wee blossom after Winter’s woe, 
That smiled upon the May Flower’s dauntless 
crew, 
So like what erst in English meadows grew. 
Their homesick hearts rejoiced when thee they 
saw 
And hope revived by Nature’s kindly law. 
This truth, writ plain, they read on leaf and 
stem: 
The God who planted thee would shelter them. 
Preach thou that living lesson unto us, 
Brave, modest, faithful, trusting Arbutus.

Ninchestes Pas 27, 1909. 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: Notso very long ago a 
new lot of sign boards were placed in 
position along our highways and at the 
junction of some of our streets. Itis my 
belief that a little better care should have 
been exercised in their location. “Take, 
for instance, the Gloucester board at the 
corner of Washington and Sea streets. 
It is so placed as to be shadowed and a 
person driving by quickly, or in the even- 
ing, cannot tell which direction is in- 
dicated. 
Some other signs were supposed to 
take the place of the old ones, but still 
the old ones remain, making the contrast 
very marked. In some cases all that re- 
mains is the post. Even all signs on 
lamp standards are broken, and, really, 
it is very hard to tell if you are ‘*on 
your way.’’ 
Yours for 
ce 
* ““ IMPROVEMENT.’”’ 
When you write a 
Oifice Stationery. Lunineee letter, 
rrite it on a neatly printed letter head; that 
is the kind we furnish. We can furnish you 
with printing, paper, envelopes, etc., at low 
prices.—THE BREEZE OFFICE.
