KNEW FRIENDS or BoYH00D

Over the Many Years That

J. r. Hughes of Kamiah, Idaho, was
standing in the lobby of hotel the
other day when man, apparently an
Englishman, approached the desk, and
after registering, walked up to Mr..
Hughes, says a Spokane (Wash.) dis

"How are you? haven't seen you
for long time" said the newcomer,
and then followed the bellboy with his
luggage.
Mr.. Hughes remarked to Clerk John
son: "He doesn't know me. He must
have mistaken me for someone else"
The man was registered as DR.. A. W.
Evans of Cincinnati, but the name
meant nothing to Mr.. Hughes. Later
the two men met again and Mr..
Hughes challenged him.

Welsh. They discovered they both
came from the same town, and then
suddenly Mr.. Hughes exclaimed :
"Wait q minute. / know you. Don't
tell me who you are-you are the son
of the Congregational minister"
"Yes, and you," rejoined the doctor,

we went to school together"
The two men had not seen each
other for twenty years. They sat
talking till 8 a. m. of the good old days.

Bru-os of TODAY.

Mrs. B. o. rufneIl. writing in ref
erence to Bruges. says: 81 think it
may be of interest to you TO know that
Bruges is extraordinarily little chang
ed since the war We were most agree
ably surprised to find our things left
behind intact and only one case had
been opened. The hotel was still well
run and comfortable. and the food was
good. only the pre-war prices had
changed for the worsei The beautiful
old city looked much the same as De-
fore. The carlton is still pealing In
the belfry, and few of the public build
ings have suffered. The port has been
greatly altered, and there the signs OF
war are very evident. not only In the
huge works started by the enemy, but
in the effectual destruction of them by
our airmen. The shops are open, and
the life of Bruges goes on as 1t did.
Only the welcome appearance of khaki
clad men or businesslike w. A. A. C.'s
strikes a strange note In the cobbled
spaces of the Grande Place"

suspense Worse Than Attack

There are sailors who will tell you
that the actual torpedoing of vessel
was not very much worse than the sus-
pense and the many false alarms-any
of which might have proved to be an
enemy submarine. A merchant cap
tain was looking out TO sea one day.
when in the distance he thought he
saw something dark and round. He
watched to see whether It would move.
It did move. and then suddenly 1t dived.
There was no time to do anything,
since he did not know from what direc-
ton the torpedo might come. He wait
ed. To his horror the dark. round OBJ
ject rose from the waves only 80 yards
away from the boat. He said it was
the worst moment in his life until he
realized on further inspection that the
~periscope" was in actual fact 4 large
seal with a dirty yellow neck and a
full crop Of whiskers.

This Is Fine.

NO gas pressure, no gas bill, will be
the rule in Kansas hereafter.
Under provisions of law passed by
the last Kansas legislature it becomes
the duty of the Kansas public utilities
commission to fix a standard pressure
for gas service and to compel the In
stallation of pressure gauges, reguls
tors and the like for determining and
recording the pressure. The consumer
then is to be billed according to pres
sure as well as according to quantity
so that when the pressure is poor the
gas bill will be lower.

1t is now certain there will be al
least five candidates for the Republic
can nomination for governor and pos.
sibly six if efforts on the part of some
TO get returned soldier to make the
race succeed.
So far j. n. Tittemore, Omro, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin and National
Societies OF Equity is the only one who
has so far definitely announced his
candidacy. He declared, when defeat
ed for the nomination for governor
last fall, that he would be a candidate
again in 1920 and every two years un-
til he is elected.
The other men who are sure to be
candidates for the Republican nomina-
don are Lieutenant Governor Dithmar,
Secretary of State Merlin Hull, Law
renee c. Whittet, executive secretary
and former speaker of the house. and
Senator Roy P. Wilcox, Eau Claire,
who ran close race with Governor
Philip.
Dfthmar will be the La Toilette can
didate and is depending upon his own
strength, having been elected lieuten'
ant governor three times
Secretary of State Hull has not an
nounced his candidacy. but members
OF the assembly, who have been seen
in consultation with him frequently
during the session, make no secret OF
1t.
From present indications Whittet
will be forced into the race by his
many friends.
Although Senator Wilcox has not
announced his candidacy and probably
will not do so for months, it is gen
orally conceded he is even now can
didate, and his closest friends admit
he will be in the race.
Returned soldiers are said to be
divided on the question of running one
of their number for the Republican
nomination for governor. A boom was
attempted for Brig. Gen. c. r. Board
man, Oshkosh, but he has declared he
will not be a candidate, and reports
have been received here that the same
persons will try to get Col. William
Mitchell Lewis, Racine, to seek the
nomination.
For lieutenant governor, Senator A.
J. Pullen, who served in the medical
corps, will be a candidate, while for
mer Senator G. Fl. Everett, Racine
who made the race with Wilcox In
1918, will likely enter the race again
and friends of Senator A. H. Wilkin
son. Bayfield,, are urging him to enter
the field.
G. b. Shaffer, Madison, chief clerk
of the assembly, is being mentioned
for secretary of state as Is also AS
