Out at the Children's Hospital,
Thirteenth and w streets northwest

who is known as the Miracle Boy"
Not that he has performed any super
natural feats but that wonderful
change has taken place in his physi-
cal apprenticeship can now walk,
whereas u few months ago he could
only hoppble.
Peter Medrofuscie is the young
ster's name. and his presence in the

| in the guise of a visiting nurse saw
| Peter, one day last spring, in his
mountain home in West Virginia. His
bright face, his CHEEKY smile in the

prattlc won her heart at once. with

and gnarIed Hike roots OF tree. and
he had TO drag his sturdy little body
along tho ground or about the floors
of his humble home whenever he
wished 10 move from place to place.
The benevolent ladies at the Episco-
pal Institution decided that thoFe was
a chance of having the deformed
members Strengthened, and accord
ingly he was brought to the Chill

treatment
That was last summer. Through

1t was an intense moment for tho
physicians and nurses when Peter
with the aid OF braces, found that ho
could walk. Tears straycd into the

FOR CAPITOLADDITION
Canvass Of South Dakota LEGISLATORS
Said to Show Majority Favor
ing Idea.

Pierre.-1t is said that an informal
canvas has been made among the
members OF the legislature on the
question Of building an addition to
the state capitol building and that .
safe majority for the proposal ap.
pears to be in sight. Provisional
plans have been prepared for khe
construction of a wing costing about
$500, 900. An allowance for the cap
itol building addition may be included
in the budget committees estimates
to be placed before the members
within a few days. With committee
rooms and corridors nearly all taken
up by boards and bureaus the legis-
lators are fully convinced that the
state must enlarge the capitol build
ing or get a thinner type or indi-
viduals for public officials. The ef.
fort to move the legislative recess
ahead one week failed. 1t will com.
mence on Thursday, January 90, and
extend to Tuesday, the 2Sth. Under
the arrangement the farmers meet
ing at Mitchell will be held on Janu.
airy Is. and at hat time it will be
determined whether the farmers are
going to insist on a state owned pack.
ing house and a state owned terminal
elevator.
