ORDERS WERE ORDERS TO HIM
German Soldier Had Been Aeeus-
toned to obey Implicitly, and
Did 50 In This Case.

There seem to be some character
istics which Germans and Chinese
hold in common. Many are familiar
with the story of the Chinese serv-
ant who threw the broom down the
back stairs every morning at ten
o'clock because his mistress had done
so when she first instructed him in his
duties.
Recently q young German In Mu-
mich, fresh from his service in the
army, where he had been taught to
obey orders implicitly, got employ
ment with q baker who owned a dog,
for which neither he nor his wife had
any great love. AS the time approach.
ed for the renewal of the dog license,
amounting to marks (32.25), there
was some discussions in the family
as to whether 1t would not be bet
ter to have the dog killed. The
baker, however, instructed the new
assistant to take 8 marks to the ex-
else office and bring back the dog IL
cense. At the same time, the wife,
not knowing what her husband had
done, told the young man to take
the dog to the animals home and
have him killed; she gave him mark
Us cents) for the fee and II cents
for himself, because he appeared to
be rather fond Of the dog.
The valiant soldier reported him
self later in the day minus the nine
marks and dog, but proudly showed
that he had executed both commits
sions faithfully by producing the Ii
cense for the dog and a receipt for
the money he he'd paid for having
him killed.

Topeka, July 31.-In spite of
the horse plague in Western
Kansas last fall, one of the poor
est crop seasons in many years
and unusually dry weather dur.
ing most of the present summer,
Kansas came forward today with
an increase of 81 million dollars
in property.
The state tax commission
completed its equalization of all
the Kansas county assessment
returns today and found that
Kansas had a total of $2,816,961,-
092 in taxable property. The
total assessed value for 1912 was
So, 746, 9OO,291.
The increase in the assess
ment of 1913 oyer 1912 is $64,-
06o, 8o1, being made up as follows:
Increase on farm lands with i'm
provements, So, 1856, 923; increase
on city real estate SIS, 1856, 416; in
crease on personal property,
$45, $780, 900; increase on public
service corporation property,
A,939,4 56. Total, $54, O6O,sO1.
The large increase in personal
property results from the year
1912 having been a normal crop
year. The year 1911 produced
short crops and necessitated the
shipping of a great deal of live
stock and the disposal of prac-
tically all grain on hand, so that
March l, 1912, there was little
grain in the country for assess
ment purposes and the stock
that was on hand at that date
was of an inferior class and of
less value than it was on
March 1 of the previous year.
Hence there resulted in the per-
sonal property assessment for
1912 loss of practically 40 mil
lions. This, however, was part
ly Offset by gain of 10 millions
IL the assessment of real estate
in 1912.
The net loss of 1912 because of |
the bad year, 1911, was approx
mately 80 millions. The increase
this year over and above 1912 !
makes good the loss occasioned |
by the bad year, 1911, and an
equal amount inf excess of the
loss. The valuation for the year
1913 is the largest ever had in
this state.
The levy for state tax purpos-
es has been fixed by the tax COM
mission at the same figure as for
1912 and 1911, one and two-tenths
mills. The tax levy in 1912
raised SO, ,2SO.35, and the ag.
gregate tax raised by the same
levy on the valuation for 1913 is
So, 373, 1881, the tax thus levied
in 1913 at the same rate being
in actual results $40, 1872. 90 high

A strong light is thrown on the
difference between street railway
travel in this country and England by
the recent proposal to place small
libraries in the English tram cars.
What a vision of placid easy-going
populace that suggestion calls up!
Years ago, however, literary activity
Of just that sort was still possible in
American cities, for 1t is said that
Horace Greeley mastered two or
three tongues while riding to and
from his office. But reading on the
cars is a doubtful benefit, after all.
The strain on the eyes is consider
able. and the eyestrain tells on the
nerves. Arnold Benefits way of
passing time in transit is to be recon-
mended to those who find the loss of
time occasioned by street car travel
distressing. With little will power,
says Mr.. Bennett. anybody can learn
to reflect during the half hour or the
hour he passes each day in the cars.
Reflection is quite as valuable as
reading, and it is probably true that
the average mind finds it more diff
cult to get time for the former than
the latter.
