STAKEHOLDER MISSING
Waterbury Nopey on EIeclIoa- Bets Bard 10 Locale.

How would you like 1t If you had congratulated yourself on winning few hundred on election, only to find out that you had really lost. The bettors in this city who made a pool, sent 1t to New Haven and cashed in on Liuey, cashed in speaking hgur- lively. for they have not yet received the money they bet on Governor elect George L. Lilley, will now feel grateful if they get their own back. Realizing that Congressman Lilley was going to carry the state few men in town made up a pool or about $4O0 and sent Baron Torkom- ian to New Haven to place 1t. He had no trouble in placing 1t on LII ley, all right. Torkomian endeavor- ed to have some of his friends take more of the Robertson money but they didn't, and they should shake hands with themselves that they dld not.
 When the returns came in on Tuesday evening the men that had taken the Lilley end of the bets smiled when they thought of the fine time they would have with the few hundred simoleons which they had won. They would get 1t on the nor row as it was reposing snuggly in the jeans of the stakeholder in the Elm City.
 But what did the morrow bring forth? Bright and early Wednesday morning Baron went to New Ha- ven to collect. He called at the ap- pointed place but the stakeholder was not there, just little late. An hour passed and no stakeholder. Another hour and still another. After becoming somewhat worried, MT Torkomian started in search Of the man with the money. He was not long in learning that the man was not to he found.
 It seems that the stakeholder had dead sure "hunch' as he supposed that Chanler was going to carry New York. He was so confident that Chanler would defeat Hughes that he bet a few hundred on the result. He thought he might just as well make a killing while he was at It, so he proceeded to back Chanler with the money he was holding for other people. He dropped his own s7OO and is said to have lost about s1,00O which he was holding Tn stakes.
 So you see when the Waterbury men thought their money was re- posing snugly in the jeans of that man in New Haven it was really in on flyer" on the wings of which it was waited away.
 The Waterbury winners. yes win ners. have chance of collecting their own money, but the lawyer i'll New Haven whom they consulted has small hopes of procuring their win nings. The stakeholder has not yet reported.

SECOND WARD WATER
SuIl Coming From Supply q
 Wlgwsm Reservoir.

Some folks In the second ward were taking too much water. but 1t Is quite evident also that they are endeavoring to restrain their appetite for It. After considering the matter MT Kennedy the superintendent of the water bureau decided that that part of the second ward including Waterville and Grove. North Main and Burton and Bishop as the south and east boundary lines could still be allowed to use water from the Wigwam! So when he cut of the rest Of the city the other day he aI- lowed this slice of the second ward 10 remain on the Wigwam supply. The superintendent of the water sup- piles then saw that the people of the part or the second ward In question either were all prohibitionists or had great appetite for water. He found on inspecting the machines that ir. dicate the consumption of water that the portion of the city referred 10 consumed between Friday noon and saturday noon three million three hundred and forty thousand gallons or water. It was said when this news was spread through the city hall. that this consumption of water ex- plains the absence of rcd noses in the second ward. But meantime MT Kennedy got scare. He saw that II these people who were allowed
 on the Wigwam water supply con tinued using water at that rate there would be dry Wigwam in no time. And the people somehow divined this pending calamity too. And they ac- cordingly swore/off. They just sad they would let up on water for time. And they did, for between noon on Saturday and noon on Sum- day they just got away with a whole lot less. Their consumption of water Tor the period' stated was just one million and fourteen thousand gal. ions. There was reduction that Just did MT Kennedys heart good when he read the indicator yester- day noon and he made up his mind that the people of the second ward are all right; they just need to be informed what to do and they do it

The Revenge Of the Lorelei
BY O. III. Fernbach

Ger the crags that border the silver Rhine
And are lashed by the rivers spray,
Where the nymph SO fair, with her golden hair
Long tempted her sailor prey,
Steal the mists that from the sirens tears
As they drop the rocks below,
While the Tilt that lured in her breast nmured
Gives place wall of
For she's the banks how the thousands throng
Aud she's heard the applauding cry
And the whistles screech, as beyond her reach
Count Zeppelin sailing by;
And her graceful arms have been hopeless spread
Toward the vessel that rides the air,
And her siren strain has been sung in vain
So she weeps in her dark despair
Alas for her beauty her locks of gold
And the melody wild and VERDI
They will in the eddys roar
The Loreleis job is queered
For ages, from Constance to Zuyder Zee
She's ruled stream and bed
But her day past she has lost at last
The counts gone her head.
And he sails in his arsIip proud
Nor heeds he her sob and groan,
AS with rage she hears all those Strassburg cheers
The wond'ring oh de Cologne
Then she calls TO her aid the fire hend grim,
And on speeding cloud they mount
so the tide is turned on the who spurned
The nynph, though she takes the count
