An army officer has just been telling
of an experience with tho governor
which tools place (hiring the war. He
wan stationed at Camp Derena, Massa
chusetts, nt which point a regiment bad
been whipped into shape and was ready
for tho journey overseas. The governor
of the state was to come out to give
these fighting men a final word of In
spiration before their rfnnnrtnrn.
j. no commanuing otucer Bent an array

mired to be puuetlllioua, to drive him
out. Observing the amenities to tho
letter, the captain waited for the aov.
ernor to begin conversation. Milopoats,
Villages, uamicts, tutted by the hurry
ing car like hours in the springtime and
the Journey came to nn end without the
governor having broken the silence.
Two montm later another occasion
presented itwlf at Camp Devens and
tho same ollir.cr again went to Hoston
to Wing out the governor, This time
it was a sporting proposition with him.
Ho was making a book with himself ns
to whether the silent ride of the former
occasion would repeat itself. Ho was
giving hlraiell odds that the same re
cord of alienee would be maintained.
He lost. Just as the car passed
over a railroad crossing that is not
more than an hour and a quarter out
of Uoston, the governor cleared his
throat and spoke.
"It seems to me," ho 6ad, "that I
have seen you before."
.. es" 6a,(1 tho captain genially,
the Ice now having been broken. "I
had tho pleasure of driving you out to
Devens two months ago."
He paused and smiled and waited for
an answering response, now that the
talk had got going. But the little con
versation had fluttered Itself oat. It
languished right there and died. The
goveruor, having satisfied that degree
of garrulity with which naturo had
endowed him, lapsed into n thereafter
unbroken silence.
