The poet was fayoring a friendly soul with his last verses, says a writer in St James Budget. The verses were descriptive of beautiful girl. The poet read:
 Her hair was massed In flowing curis.
 The color of a whisper"
 This made the listener "slt up" "what's that?" be said. Read that again"
 T thought you would say something about that" the poet answered. "I don't want to appear egotlstical, but that little phrase gives some scope for the exercise of the mind"

 The poet laughed.
 Don't you sec" he said, 'how beau tifully that describes the shade of her hcIr? Every poet speaks of golden hair or raven locks. To be a success one must be original. We'll. she did not have golden hair. It was nearly golden, and I convey the impression by means of that one word"
 The other still looked puzzled.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Franklyn A. Taylor Says He Has No
 Notion. of Voting for Lilley.
 The following Waterbury letter to the New Haven Journal-Courier ex- plains itself:
 Waterbury. Aug 17.-Franklyn A. Taylor of the Randolph-Clowes com .pany of this city, who was so grossly misused by Lilley in the submarine investigation will not vote for the Waterbury man if he Is nominated for governor. MT Taylor came out willingly with definite statement to this effect to-day to a Journal Courier correspondent.
 The only excuse, he declared, that the Waterbury Republican, MT Lil- ley's paper, had for supposing he would vote for Lilley was a state ment he made "that so far as he was concerned the Republican would as suredly win its bet"
 This bet was referred to in the news columns of the Waterbury American last Friday as follows:
 The New Haven Journal-Courier feels that Congressman Lilley grossly misused two prominent citizens dur ing the submarine investigation, whereat the Waterbury Republican offers to bet the Journal-Courier the price of 33,0OO copies that Messrs John P. Kellogg and Franklyn A. Taylor-presumably the two prom inent citizens referred to-will vote for Lilley. MT Taylor said this noon that so far as he was concerned the Republican would assuredly win it's bet
 MT Taylor admitted making this statement which was put out in "Lil- leyesque" style with the hope of giv- ing the impression to readers that he, Taylor, would vote for Lilley. As matter of fact, MT Taylor stated yesterday that he did not intend to give any such impression and the way the story was put out convinced him that the hand of Lilley was in it.. He had his own meaning and is not explaining it now.
 In closing the interview, MT Tay- Tor said: T have no intention of voting for Lilley." ,-

There is a big row on in political circles about Middletown., Some of the democrats who used their influ- ence to support T. M.
