Nothing could be done to relieve him.
He was examined by noted specialists
who diagnosed the case as paralysis
Of the optic nerve resulting from
shock.
Sometime he might regain sight,
but they held out no certainty Of
hope. "
ooh, yes, remarkable cure.
Through the treatment Of a noted
psychologist, DR.. he had regained
his sight, misty at first, but daily
growing stronger
On hearing this "the man next
door," under his apparent lightness
being 100 per cent American, flushed
q dark red from shame, but grew pale
a moment after as sudden realiza-
ton that he loved this woman as a
man loves only one woman in lite
time, that his careless pursuit had led
him into deep waters Of emotion, and
that his feeling now was akin to wor-
ship for this brave soul who so pa
tiently had borne her sorrow in 81
lence for so long.
Late in the afternoon next day
he called at the hatter's and pleaded
his suit. She laughed at first. The
sad, dreamy eyes were sad no longer,
but dancing wells Of Joy. But as she
saw the mans depth Of emotion she
grew serious.
II am sorry; but you see next month
am going to marry the psychologist
who restored my brothers sight!'

Inexcusable Negligence.

The injustice of an incorrect "slack-
er" list receives the following deserved
criticism from the WASHINGTON Her.
aid:
"How careless paper work. in a
government department may lead to
tragic injustice and bitterness is no.
where better illustrated than by the
appearance in the war departments
"slacker list" of the name of Thomas
Monahan, who died from tuberculosis
in 1919. His relatives are justly in
dlgnant at what they deem inexcusable
official carelessness, both in the orig
lnal mistake and failure to investigate
before branding the guiltless with the
mark of cowardice. And to those
without personal interest in the mat
ter there will seem something pecu-
liarly repulsive in this CHASTITY mis-
take that, unrectifed, would have
placed the stigma Of AL that is con-
temptibie upon one whose lips were
sealed by the fingers Of death, Had
Thomas Monahan been without rsia=

probably would have forever defaced
an otherwise spotless name. And the
pity OF it is that the whole thing was

FULL MEASURE
BY LILLIAN p. LEONARD

g. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
"You must know that sad, dreamy
eyed type requires finesse and a re-
sort to romantic methods to win. You
don't know how to do 1t, that Is all,
Now watch mel"
This speech had been preceded by
an ejaculation made by the younger of
the two men, sitting at an adjacent
desk in the pleasant office.
Partners in business that seemed
to give them plenty of spare time for
dallying even in business hours, their
favorite Indoor sport" being mild fir
tations with those females who had
become wise as to the depth of their
intention and consequently rather
tame, pastime, it was with Strenuous
efforts they tried to capture the at
tention Of any stranger or newcomer
to their floor.
Innocent, possibly In intent, but new
ertheless trivial and somewhat cheap.
SO thought recent arrival in the next
room-a sad, dreamy-eyed, well-pre-
served woman Of mature years, who
had opened millinery shop next door.
The younger man had tried every
means to become acquainted, but be-
You'd cool smile, nod, or passing
greeting, he had made absolutely no
Roadway.
So the elder man took hand in
this flippant pastime Of capturing a
passing fancy, and he tried the ro-
mantle, mysterious way, that his su-
perior (?) wisdom mapped out.
A rosebud through her letter slot
greeted her in the morning; a blank
card, sometimes. A box Of flowers de-
livered late in the afternoon, from a
mysterious source. He had the salts
faction of seeing his flowers in wa
ter in place Of honor; but he did not
know that the woman had heard that
that was a habitual custom Of his to
try to soften the heart Of the fair sex
with the touching presentation Of a
flower, and she had no decisions as
from whence these sudden attentions
proceeded.
So 1t was an inwardly-amused wom-
an who set the flowers where he could
; see, but no hint Of her amusement
looked from her sad eyes as they cas-
ually met In the hall. Her bow and
greeting were, if anything, cooler.
Then one day a tall, blond man,
somewhat younger than the woman,
came along the hall: His step was
faltering and there was stfa6ge,
cropping movement in his hands, yet
he went straight to the door marked
"Maison, Hatteg" where cry Of rap
tufe greeted him. The door was
quickly closed and only a Continuous
joyous murmur could be heard.
i The shop was closed for the remain
der 81 the day, and together they were
lost to sight.
Though silent, uncominunlcarfve and
aloof in the time of trouble, hiding
spartan.like, hef exquisite torture Of
uncertainty through d most grilling
ordeal; in the glow of this most GER
tain Joy the woman expanded and had
to give out Of her happiness and re-
lief from corroding anxiety.
80 the news spread like wildire
through the building. for human ma
ture, prone to gossip, is the same in
an office building as elsewhere.
Eyes, my baby brother; we are all
that is left Of the family; was in
France she told a neighbor. Had

port compiled by the state tax co
mmission is Sl29,7l0,7SS, which is
$424,374 more than the assessed
valuation of these properties for
1921 when a total of SIPS, ,2S6,394
was assessed against the rail lines
of the state.
The tax commission has just
completed it's work of assessing all
of the railroads of the state and
has sent out notices of the tentat-
i've valuations to all tax attorneys
of the various railroads operating
in South Dakota.
From statements which have
been filed with the commission
there have been slight additions
made in the physical value of some
Of the larger systems while the
gross earnings shown a very per
ceptable falling off for the year
1921. The net earnings, however
show small increase over 1920
which is attributed to the reduct-
ion in the cost of operation.
On the basis of this years ass
essment it is expected by the ta>
commission that railroad propert,
in South Dakota will pay fully as
large per centage of the total
taxes for all purposes as they did
in 1921. The commission compar-
es this showing with that in Min
nesota. where a gross income tax
is in force and where the falling
off in revenue to the state this
year will amount to approximately
S1,700,000 over that of the proceed
ing year.

Washington Memorial
Near Mount Vernon

Alexandria, Va, the turn
ing of the first sod on a beautiful
spot on the outskirts of Alexand-
dia overlooking the National Cap
itol, work has begun on memor-
ial to George Washington which
will be a fitting companion piece
to the Lincoln Memorial at Wash

The edifice, a stately temple in
spircd b Greek and Roman arch
itecture, is being erected by the
combined efforts of all the Masons
and Masonic orders in the United
States, and will be tribute to
Washington, the man and Mason
! 1t will be two hundred feet from
portico to observation plat form
or the top, and will be surround
ed by an extensive landscape gar
den to be known as George Wash
ington Park. 1t is expected the
memorial will be completed in from
four to five years. The cost will
be approximately S2,5O0,OO0.
Constructed of snowy marble
and white concrete, the columned
structure will tower high above
the river and will stand out from
background of desely verdured
hillsidcs, a fitting tribute, visiba'
from miles, and within short dis
tance of the Nation's Shrine, Mou.
MT Vernon.
Every Mason has been asked &c
contribute a dollar toward the flu
nd, and already more than 800
600 has been collected. Additional
pledges bring the figure to almost
Sl,600,000. Masonic orders and in.
dividuals contributing S100 to.
ward the fund will be placed upon
the honor charter roll to be kept
among the temple archives.
The building, according to arch
itects, will be after the style oi

Dor entrance of ancient Greek and
Roman cities. 1t will be erected
! on ridge 250 feet above the Pot.

destruction at St. Charles, S. D..

Saturday night, was given by Jud-
ge George H. Cross when he re-
turned to his home here Sunday
from St. Charles.
''To realize how Ditiful condi-
tions are at st. Charles, one must
go there and view the sccne," sale
Judge Cross. THE town certainly
looks like it had been struck by q
cyclone. 1t is mass of faller
timbers, demolished household
goods and wrecked buildings. To
the little town of ST. Charles the
disaster has its effect rs the de
struction Of some ancient Greciar
and Roman city had to its popu
lace-and as terrible, comparative
ly speaking-is the scene.
Il saw women and children
standing by the ruins Of theii
homes, their eyes filled with tears
asst they gazed upon what had
been their homes. saw residents
searching in vain in the mass OF
fallen and broken material from
buildings for their belongings
But through it all there was a
spirit of optimism. st. Charles

and shall rebuild.

There were about 20 residences
in the town and al but one OF
