Thomas was going to America to-

It was not that he had been
disloyal. He had written loving

Sheila into ecstacies of happiness.
But after five years had passed

the day of their marriage would

Twice, thrice lately, Thomas

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by a Withdrawal Of Blood
From tho Brain, Says Modern
SPhysloiogy.

All the organs OF life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an In
terval Of rest between each combined
act OF contraction and expansion and
the beginning of a fresh act. b.
tween each expiration OF the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is period Of repose Physie sogists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about onefourth of the
time.
Certain Of the otner organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure OF the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology. with tendency to regard
the brain as the origin Of all force
and of all functions of the body. In.
clines to the view that sleep is
caused by withdrawal Of blood from
the brain.

. HE IS WAITING.
Hugh Farrelly Doesn't Know Ye,
About SenatOrship.

Hugh p. Farrelly of Chanute is
considering his chances for the Unit
ed States senate next year, although
the Chanute lawyer is not yet ready
to announce his candidacy. Farrelly
does not believe that either Governor
Hodges or Congressman George A.
Medley of the Seventh district will be
candidates for the senate and expects
each of the men to be renominated
to their present offices without oppo-
sition and elected.
Since the first discussion of the
1914 Democratic senatorial middle,
Farrelly has always been considered
as a possible candidate, although
there was at one time a plan to elm
mate him from the race by offering
him the Third district congressional
nomination. Evidently Farrelly has
waved aside such offers and will eth
er stay out of active politics next year
or become a candidate for the senate.
Really haven't decided yet-won't
make an announcement until I have
to- said Farrelly. Have been busy
with my law business and have not
kept in touch with conditions. But,
Of course, am considering the mat
ter. In view of the fact that had a
big popular majority in the race last
year, think I may be able to get a
few votes in the campaign next year
If should rum"
Last year Farrelly lost the United
States senatorial nomination to Sen
ator William H. Thompson, although
Farrelly's popular vote was 1850
greater than that Of the Garden City
Democrat.
Lately there have been rumors to
the effect that Medley will stay out of
the senatorial race next year If Far
reilly decides to run. Farrelly, how
ever, says he knows nothing about
such an arrangement.
II have a good deal Of correspond
ence with Mr.. Medley, but not about
political matters" said Farrelly. IF
there is anything to such a plan.
know nothing about it.
Asked If he believed that Medley
and Hodges would be senatorial can
didates, Farrelly expressed the belief
that both Of the men would seek re-
nomination to the offices they now
hold.
IT don't think either Neeley or
Hodges will be candidates for the SEN
ate" declared Farrel1y. Both men
could be renominated without opposi-
ton and there is every indication
that they would be reelected in view
Of the situation in Kansas. In my
district, the Democrats are well
pleased with the state administration,
barring of course the complaints of a
few disappointed candidates for APP
pointment'
