Gould Afford II,

With him the wearing of old clothes
Was something of hobby,
Although he would. you might suppose,
Prefer ones new and nobby,
But still he chung to ancient bags
That should have been in carpet rags.
He said the old ones seemed to him
Like friends, SO well they fitted.
They would not in the social swim,
/ fear. have been PERMITTED
All over them they bore the stamp
OF clothes affected by the tramp.
For garments that the beggars wear
Would hardly hold a candle
To them. and. really, you would swear
They were Il public scandal,
But he made friends with every one
BY dressing like the ragman'S son.
Was he so poor he could not buy
Some neat and natty raiment,
And could he not, though he might try,
Afford to make the payment?
Oh. yes; he was a millionaire.
And SO he didn't have to care!

Pinkerton detectives and United

Permits Granted During Aug
ust For 500, ,OOO.--Rain
Delays Operations
IMPORTS NEARLY 100000

Building Inspector Connolly has been
kept busy during the month Of August.
He isued permits for Improvements in
Wilmington valued at $lOS,7l9. This
showing that the building boom is here
with a Vengeance.
The recent wet weather. however.
has prevented the digging Of cellars
and the contractors have been accord
lngly delayed in taking out permits
amounting to fully $4,000 more. The
month Of September promises to be a
record breaker. The demand for
houses is growing daily but the real
estate men have not a house to rent
cr sell in the sections where they are
most needed
Port Importations.
While the building boom is going
along merrily the value Of importa-
tions coming into the port Of Will
mington have been climbing upward
steadily. For the month OF August
the value of imports was nearly $780,
600. The only way to treble the value
Of imports. officials say. is to build a
road to the river and have a pier
where ocean steamships can unload
their cargoes. Wilmington is gradu-
ally becoming the great morocco
leather centre and as all the skins are
Imported their value would show up
greatly when the representatives of
Delaware in Congress would ask for
appropriations FOR the improvement of
the harbor Of Wilmington.
Health Of the City.
While there We're 14S deaths in Will
mir gton during August, according to
the report of Secretary Wigglesworth,
city Registrar. there were 157 births

Poles swelled List.
The olice were on the alert during
this month as they made 456 arrests.
That number includes a large number
of Poles who were brought in for vio-
lating the Sabbath by holding a we'd
ding celebration.
Contractors Were Slow.
Garbage contractors failed during
the month to give good service in the
collection of garbage. Both telephones
are kept ringing almost continually as
over 100 complaints are received daily
