The classes of living creatures
or animals arc divided into -four
classes, namely: Vertebrates. ar
ticulatcs, mollusks md radiates.
TO the vertebrate class belong al
animals composed Of flesh an
bones. There is one particulaI
species which is sometimes callec
a tax dodger. The tax dodger IS
1 vertebrate who regardless OF his
wealth and millions, through the
nfluence of a political pull and
oribing of assessors, has a wonder
full d~exterity, peculiar to all his
sind, which enables him to dodge
the assessor so that his taxes art
comparatively low with the species
Of an honest taxpayer who pays
taxes on every dollar he is a lucky
possessor of. The tax dodgers
usually inhabit very large cities
like Chicago. New York and such.
according to statistics there has
been deposited in the banks OF
South Dakota S3I,ooo,oco, bu,
taxes are paid on less than a mil
ion. There are in existence sc.
curities for money loaned to the
mount OF 1000 900, but taxes
ire paid on less than a million
lollars. We have stated that tax
dodgers swarm very large cities;
md as we have no very large cities
n South Dakota we may De thank
tut to Providence that our state
is free from this pest.

In 1856, before the great mutiny. the
British forces In India consisted Of less
than 10000 Europeans and more than
10000 natives, besides some 10000
c~ontingcnts, as they were called. main.
tanned by the rules Of the native
States and at their expense. The
greater part Of the artillery was a
ned by native soldiers under European
officers. Three-fcurths OF the native
soldiers participated In the mutiny.
The Madras forces In Southern India
and the sheikhs In the Punjab were
not only loyal but rendered valuable
services In suppresslng the revolt. On
the reorganization OF tho army after
the mutiny was suppressed. Il al de-
cided that there should never be more
than two natives 10 one European In
ne service; that the artillery should
be manned by Europeans exclusively,
and that all the a~rsenals and supply
stations should be In their charge.
Since the reorganization there has
been an average OF 10000 British and
10000 native troops In India. All the
artillery has been manned by Euro
peans, the British troops have been
garrlsoned ut stations where they can
render the most prompt and efficient
service. and all OF tho cantonments,
as the European camps are called. all
the f~ortresses and ~arscnals, are con.
nected with each other and with Bonn
bay and Calcutta By railway. When
the mutiny broke out In 1857 there
were only about 400 miles OF railway
In India and II was q matter OF great
difficulty, delay ana expense to move
troops any distance. To-day India has
nearly $4,000 miles Of railway, which
has all been planned and constructed
as a part OF tho national defense sys-
TEN. In 1857 II took between three
and four months for a relief party to
reach Delhi from the seaboard. To
day 10 times the force could be sent
there from any part Of India within Y
hours.
