TAXING 100 PER CENT VALUES.
Says a Topeka dispatch:


Kansas has been creating wealth in goodly
chunks during the last ten years According to

first year of reasonably just assessment the valua

Pretty good for Kansas, in whose welfare Georgia
people interested. of course, well her own,
Kansas and Georgia both being integral parts ofthe
nation But the interesting thing for is the fact
that the Kansas books show property returned uni
ormly over the 100 per valuation which
permits the preparation of figures showing exactly what
progress in an aeeumulative way the state is making at
ali times The chief value of this tax system however lies

A VERSE 4 DAY.
NOW LAY NE.

MO doubt you have heard of one "Blinkey' 0'Shay
x The big Irish sergeant of company k,
AS tough as the puttees he wore his shns
STEPPED in the dregs of his manifold sins;
A dandy good locker as game a cock.
AS straight as a limb and hard a rock
And toush-holy smoke! how that trooper could cuss
Before he mixed up in that free-for-all fuss
Over yonder.
Now Blinkey raised "soIter sniff ius us true.
His Nanny dead, and his Daddy was TOO,
And he lived with his kin, jst as orn'ry as he
Till he met the girl, and betwixt you and me
The first thing she did to work his heart
And Blinkey wiln', she got a good start
She taught him prayer-short and simple, but deep
Which he promised to say ere he lay down to sleep
Over yonder
In trench or in dugout;in raid or in rout
The seed the girl planted grew sturdy and stout;
Each time that he gambed each time that he swore
That prayer would enchain him a little bit more
And the drama: a swift, bghting breath
Sweeping down from the north in whirlwind of death
nest in the mud and a smother of blood
wreck in the wake Of the onrushng flood
Over yonder
His eyes to the sky; whisper of pain
His palm reaching out to the beat of the rain,
Sergeant O'Shay with gasp and
Knew he bleeding and dying-alone
'Oh Lord-jist a minute-she told me to pray
She said you would hear what my heart would convey
And she said: can't fight, but I'll teach you prayer
''Itll help you lot if you say it for fair,
Over yonder.'
How many young bucks do you reckon have said
That one little prayer ere they rolled into bed?
Now lay down sleep (Be it shell hole, alone
Be it couch made of silk or pillow of stone),
Il pray thee Lord" BE it uttered in tears)
Or the calm of a soul unacquanted with fears)
MY soul to- keep (Hark you, what could be said
In that land of destruction, that prison of Dread?)
Over yonder.
Eff should die. Lord Hear the sound of the guns
And jeer the trench the battle mad Huns)
Before I awake" cat the dawn of the day.
II pray take the soul of poor Blinkey O'shay,'
The gray dawn appeared through riff in the fog,
trooper lay still in his nest in the bog;
The body was there with its face to the fore,
But the soul had passed on to that Evergreen Shore
Over yonder.

Mabel Solseng
One Of the sadest accidents that
have occurred in this vicinity, was
last Saturday, when Mabel Solseng

She was accompanied by her father.
On leaving town the team became
frightened and entirely unmanage-
able; in turning the corner at the
south end Of main street tho buggy
tipped over and the little girl was
thrown violently against the wire
fence. She was taken to w. Gardens
residence and Drs. Greene and Dur
min Of Westhope were called immedi-
ately, but nothing could be done, and
she expired in about three hours.
Mabel Solseng was born on a farm
two miles south of Landa, April 8,
1905. She leaves her parents and
two little brothers to mourn her loss.
She was a member of the 9Th grade
in the public school and also Of the
confirmation class in the Norwegian
Lutheran Free church. Through her
gentle lovable disposition and quiet
unassuming she was loved
by every one that knew her, and she
will be specially missed by her teach
ers and classmates. But our loss is
Mabel's gain, as we can rest assured
that she went to join her Savior, He
who she loved to hear about in con-
frmation elias and Sunday School. Her
remains were. laid to rest in the Lam
da cemetery Tuesday, July 8. Her
pastor, Rev. Chr. Jorgenson oficiat-
ed. We wish in behalf of the many
friends Of the bereaved family to x
tend our heartfelt sympathy.
O, how sweet it will be in that beau
tiful land,
When free from all sprrow and pain;
With songs on our lips, and harps in
our hands
To meet our loved ones again.
