An amusing story about the late
Professor MOmmsen is going tn"
rounds, having recently been told for
the first time in Herliu. Far back in
the nineteenth century. 1t is said. when
he was n sentimental youth, Momms"l
wrote a book of songs in conjunction
with two friends, of whom he was tn"
long survivor. In the great scholars
old age this volume was un"Hrth"d amt
his permission asked for its ropubli'
cation. Monlmscn fatty declined, on
tho ground that neither the gravity nor
the eayetv of the book was worth srri-
Gus consideration. He declared That 1t
had become scarce by the very "ioc-
tual method Of making vast" paper OF
nnsnld copies" which were many.
leave the little book its rarity. eX-
claimed the old servant; that is one
of it's most indisputable virtues.

prize with some staZas, which began:
THE dismal day, with dreary pace

Instead of celebrating one day, as in former years, the celebration will continue for three days. During the days band concerts will be the attraction and in the evenings there will be elaborate displays of fireworks. Many people from out of town will attend and will help to make the celebration one that will never be forgotten in Waterbury.

HE WAS SURPRISED.
Man Who Couldn't Find Weather Re-
 port at City Clerks Office.

A man called at the city clerk s office yesterday and asked to be shown the weather report for the past month. He was so sure that it was there that he had adjusted his eyeglasses and was all ready to look it over before the clerk had time to tell him that if he wanted to see the weather bulletin he would have to consult Nelson J. Melton.
 Well" he replied, apparently very much disappointed, "but that beats all. In Pittsfeld and other cities where I've lived the weather condi- tions are on record in the city clerk S office, and all anybody has to do who wants them is simply say so. The rain gauge is located near the city hall and is considered an indispensable public utility. This state is hundred years behind Massachusetts You people know all about brass, but that's all. Your roads are in a shocking con- dition, and as for other things such as parks and public baths you have none at all. You don't pay your public school teachers half what they ought to get. In Pittsfield no eighth grade teacher gets less than $15 week and the lowest price paid to beginners is $S a week.
 The gentleman left to look up MT Welton, rema1king as he went that he hoped the next time he dropped in Waterbury would be the owner of a rain gauge.
