RIPPLING RHYMES.

| ply my Tyre the whole day long,
and have since long ago and ship
out bales of .deathless song at fifty
cents a throw. And ii faltered IN
my zeal, the sheriff would appear,
and promptly place his large red
seal on all my worldly gear. And
when my harp gets smoking hot, ITS
cooling system clogped, to some
calm park or kindred spot | often
times have logged; and there the
loafers always sit on benches, day
bv day; they do not toll, they do not
knit, they never strive for pay. | see
the same old musty grouds by cay,
and after dark; barred out from all
the city's coops, their home is IN the
park. They seem TO think there's
nothing wrong, they burble and they
laugh, until some peeler comes
along and prods them with his staff.
How doth the seedy little shirk
still find existence nice, when men
who buckle down and work can
barely raise the price? How doth
the boozy little bum contrive to
stay on earth, when we must toll
and make things hum, to gain our
board and berth? 1t is mystery,

and when my air cooled harp gets

Effective Action Is the Need.

The State Board of Health, last week,
ssresolved" quite extensively in respect OF
the elimination of various nuisances and
condition. detrimental to health and
nroner sanitation. Improperly handled
milk. dirty markets, piggeries, aocumuia-
tions of garbage, weed-infested lots, and
other dangerous annoysnces were placed
under ban. with penalties for ignoring the
resolves" Local Boards of Health were
directed 70 enforce these righteous regula-
tions.
Tbi. action is very well so far as IT goes
It hit. at nuisances that are detrimentaito
health and aggravating to personal com
fort. All the resolves promulgated by
the State Board of Health should De
resoiutely enforced.
Here is work cut out for the Whining
ton Board Of Health. The city is an add
ing place for about everything included IN
the State Board Of Health's resolves.
Brt there will be no use in resolving
without a foIlow-up in the form OF prac-
tical operation. Our local Board OF
Health might take practical step in
this direction by paying attention 70
vacant lots and seeing that all are de-
nuded of offensive weeds and rubbish
Every community in the State should
be kent in a condition of cleanliness. and
II is the special duty of Boards OF Health
to see that they are so kept. Wilmington.
in some respects. is notoriously dirty and
unsanitary. Now that the State Board OF
Health has so righteously resolved. let
its mandates be enforced TO the letter
