RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
THE PROPHETS.

The wise old prophets of the
ring now figure in the daily
news. and they explain, like
everything. why Carp will win
or why he'll lose. These seventh
sons of seventh sons are always
here to guide us right, whenever
pugilistic ones are scheduled for
a dras site fight. The mantle of
Elijah falls upon the wise men
OF the ring, and every dead game
sport recalls that prophet-eering
has its sting. For If the prophets
all unite TO say that Jack VIII
win the scrap. and Jack is
beaten i'm the fight, how shall
each prophet save his map? The
prophets told me, years ago,
that willard had a lead pipe
cinch, after seven rounds or so,
poor Jack would be too dead To
pinch. And so | wagered all my
means. according TO the prophets
rede. and when the winners got
their beans my bank account
was gone TO seed. The prophets
said. i'm DAYS of old. that Corbett
was the prince of blows. and he
would knock FitZsimmous cold.

And so. to bet on Jim $ success

Vacation Perils

Washington, June 2o.--Are you go-
Ing into the woods this summer? II
so, do not come back smitten by bugs
and possibly by snakes, poisoned by
ivy. and generally in state of acute
discomfort.
All OF these things can be avoided
but the average man or woman going
into the woods for the first time Is
equipped with nothing but a rosy
and romantic notion Of life in the
sylvan solitudes After about a week
of such life. he is usually in state
OF painful disilluslonment and Joins

his skin and his digestion. And Il
can be done. But il takes time and
care TO learn how. Getting yourself
through the woods or over the noun
tains in comfort is a science.
The perils from wild beasts in this
country have about been abolished
but there are some wild plants that
still bite people every year, and thc
worst of this is the large and varied
class of shrubs known as poison ivy
or poison oak. The eases of ivy pois-
oning must run into the hundreds of
thousands every year. and every case
represents vacation ruined or a
day outdoors severely regretted.
And yet ivy poisoning is generally

the full meaning of the above
words, as they were for a time to
be free-free from books, from dis
cipline-yes, free as the birds of the
air. Supplied with an over-abun-
dance of provisions such as hungry
boys would need and any amount of
fishing material, these wild young
sters made the air ring with their
yelling and loud talking, which
sounded sometimes like az Indian

Even the big Carnival parade
needed its help. The men in the
band have caps now and soon hope
to have full uniforms. Not long
ago all the members were equipped
with new instruments.
We, Algerines have some real
treats in store for us this summer,
for Mr. Loughran is gong to plan
series of open air concerts. The
band has made wonderful strides
since Mr.. Loughran took charge. In
four months he has brought "the
boys" to the front, and made them
create a prestige which is one more
big step to greater development.
We are very lucky to have among
us one who can handle this work,
for much music is hidden in our
men and boys and it needs to be
brought out.

Dept. Public Works
Improving AIgiers
l.. MUNSTERMANN, CHIEF CLERK
TO THE MAYOR, GETS BUSY
WITH DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS.
BEN MORATH TO THE RESCUE

The residents of Algiers, living
near McDonoghville and in the vi
cinity of the Naval Station and the
other outskirts of the town, are ex-
ceedingly pleased with the work
that is being done by Deputy Com
missioner of Public Works. Ben
Morath. Through the influence of
Louis Munstermann, who attended
to some personal complaints about
poor drainage in several sections in
Algiers, work was begun in digging
bitches to relieve much of the stag
nant water which was the subject
Of much complaint.
Mr.. Morath has had a prison gang
working in Algiers, cleaning out and
renewing ditchssFand at the same
time he is giving our free boarders,
which cost our citizens money in
taxes, an opportunity to earn their
meals while at the city Jail.
1t is certainly very commendable
to our department of public works
when the citizens see that the pris-
oners are worked instead Of taking
the peoples money to pay for out
side labor.
We thank Mr.. Munstermann and
Mr.. Morath for this good work.
Within a short time more bitches
will be dug on Farragut, Nelson and
Behrman Avenue.
