The selectmen have sent out no- 
tices the past week to property 
owners calling attention to the law 
relative to gypsy and _ brown tail 
moths, “which requires cities and 
towns to destroy the eggs, cater- 
pillars, pupae and nests of the 
gypsy and brown tail moths under 
heavy penalty for failure to com- 
ply with the provisions of the law. 
If a property owner fails to destroy 
such eggs, caterpillars, pupae and 
nests, then the city or town is re- 
quired to destroy the same, and the 
cost of the work, in whole or in 
part according to the value of the 
land, is assessed upon and becomes 
a lien on the land.” Full instruc- 
tions as to best methods of work 
against the moths may 
from the local superintendent, Wil- 
liam Young, Washington. street, or 
from the State Superintendent, 
Room 1010, 6 Beacon street, Bos- 
ton. 
Tree Warden (William Young, 
who began his fall and winter cam- 
ea against the moth in Man- 
hester a week or two ago, says he 
ands a much better condition of af- 
here than last year, taking 
things in a general way, though he 
fe 
fair S 
be obtained ‘ 
has found a number of bad spots in 
the most distant sections, where he 
did not go last year. Asa matter of 
fact Manchester has spared nothing 
in endeavoring to rid itself of the 
pest and the results obtained are 
most gratifying not only to the lo- 
cal warden but to the state superin- 
tendents as well. 
The first meeting of the season of 
the Thought and Work club of Sa- 
lem, of which Mrs. Hattie Lee Har- 
ris of Manchester and Salem is 
president, is being held this after- 
noon when there is to be a recep- 
tion to old and new members, by 
members of the executive board. 
Miss Henrietta I. Goddrick will 
speak on “Practical Experiments in 
Industrial Sociology.” 
WHISPERINGS 
Lewis Morgan, the Brook. street 
cabinet maker, presented the Breeze 
man with a little piece of triangular- 
shaped iron the other day, © which, 
though very ordinary looking in ap- 
pearance, is somewhat of a curios- 
ity, nevertheless. Mr. Morgan was 
sawing a piece of mahogany board 
one day a week or two ago when he 
struck a hard object. As it was 
within the board, completely en- 
closed, and far in from where the 
bark of the tree formerly must have 
been, it appeared very strange to 
him. Investigation proved it was 
a piece of iron and with some little 
difficulty he dug it out of the board. 
It is triangular in shape and_ re- 
sembles very closely the head of a 
spear. It is three inches long, and 
a little less than two inches wide on 
its shortest side. Its average thick- 
ness is about three-eighths of an 
inch. It is exceptionally well pre- 
served and looks as if it had been 
hand wrought. The only feasible 
explanation is that the spear was 
thrown against the tree years and 
years ago, probably by the natives 
of “Mexico, © or* “Central America 
where most of the mahogany used 
hereabouts comes from, and_- the 
head was broken off, leaving it stuck 
into the trunk of the then young 
tree. It may have been’ imbedded 
there a couple of hundred years.

One would think the 
Shore abounded in game to see the 
way deer stroll about the fields on 
the outskirts of the towns and even 
intrude upon our gardens at times. 
Last Thursday morning Engineer 
Dority of the first train from Bos- 
ton reports seeing a deer on the 
track between Manchester and Mag- 
nolia. Sometime Friday night, or 
North — 
early Saturday morning of last 
week, a deer ptushed its head 
through a plate glass window in a 
building on Rantoul street, Beverly, — 
next door to the office where the 
Breeze is printed. -

Selectman Fred K. Swett of Man- © 
chester does not pretend to be an 
expert farmer, or berry raiser, but — 
he claims the record for this section. 
One afternoon this week he picked 
a pint of delicious raspberries on 
the parsonage grounds which were 
served for dinner that night.

Officer William Lamasney of Man- 
chester, I am informed, came near _ 
playing As ef Bo Jekyl-Mr. Hyde act 
one day this week ; in other words he 
came very near arresting himself. - 
Tuesday noon he had occasion to cau-- 
tion a chauffeur for a Magnolia sum- 
mer resident against careless driving — 
and for going without his number at- | 
tached to the car. A little girl in the’ 
car made faces at the officer as a re- 
sult of which he proceeded to give her 
a lesson in etiquette, Later in the 
afternoon the telephone bell in the 
police station rang and Officer Lam- K 
asney answered it. 
“ Hello! is this the chief ?”’ came 
the voice. 
“No.”’ answered the officer, ‘ but 
Tam acting chief at present. What 
would you like ?”’ SEP 
“YT want to make a complaint 
against Officer Lamasney,” was the 
SO ae ie ee ee se ea 
reply. ‘‘ He was intoxicated and used 
abusive language. I want him ar- 
rested: 
“ Lamasney,” repeated Bill, in an 
authoritative tone. ‘Are you sure it 
was Lamasney ?”’ ; 
fog hk ay 
** And could you swear he was in- 
toxicated ?”’ . 
ce Veg = / ~ 
Just about that time the ‘phone be- 
came tremendously noisy, and the 
dialogue came to a sudden ending. 
Friend William was boiling under the 
collar. “Arrested!” “Intoxicated!” 
he repeated to himself. ‘If that isn’t 
the Jimit.”” He looked at himself in 
the looking-glass. True, his face Y 
looked red enough. But he knew he 
hadn’t-been drinking, and his language 
was only such as an officer should use 
under the circumstances. A number 
of people could vouch for this. And 
he boiled a little more. 
The party came to the station a 
little later and Officer Lamasney re- 
ferred them to Selectman Swett, who 
effected a compromise by persuading 
the officer not to arrest the autoists, 
and visa versa.
