arguments therefor.
Those who talk Of compulsory educa-
ton in Virginia must consider this phase
OF the question. There are more negro
children in this State than in Maryland.
The Sun also quotes Hon. John Hubner
as having said: .The bill is very dras-
tic and, in my Judgment, would impose
great hardships on parents and children
living some distance from schools. It
is all right for Baltimore city
That is objection enough, but it is not

KAISER DETERMINATIONS.

Most people know that the German
emperor is given to epigram, but few
persons know just how far this ten
dency has developed. An enterprising
British journalist has collected the
fol wing aphorislns from the kaiser 8

just as much of passion as love.

a Small Tax.

The minimum tax on the smallest
piece Of property owned by Denver
citizen was paid last week. M. Kraub
appeared at the court house and an
nounced that he had come to see
about his taxes. With that he depos-
tied before the astonished clerk :
cents. Kraub owns piece of land near
Fourteenth and Market streets, which
is just five feet square. This property
is included in an East Denver i'm
provement district and Is accordingly
assessed. With great accuracy the
property owned by Kraub was defined
by the city engineer. 1t was carefully
measured and found to be exactly five
feet square, not big enough to build
on. not big enough even to be buried
in. but still quite big enough to be
taxed. In the advertisement of taxes,
the line which announced that Kraub
must pay 2-cent tax cost % cents.
This leaves the property owner the
winner by 20 cents.
