RED TAPE GALORE.
Des Moines Teachers Duties In.
creased by the Operation Of the
Free Text Book System.
Marshalltown Will Enjoy the Same
Experiences Next Year-Strict
Rules a Necessity.

West Des Moines voters adopted the
free text book proposition for the public
schools last spring at the time 1t was
fayorably voted on in this city. Des
Moines had the necessary funds with
which to place the system in operation,
while in Marshalltown 1t was found
necessary to wait another year. The
Leader tells of the experiences of the
city in putting In force the free text
book law, and perhaps Marshalltown
can gain some pointers therefrom. The
Leader says:
For the first time In history pupils in
the West Des Moines schools are now
enjoying the privilege OF the free text
book system. The word enjoying is
expressive of the pleasure Of the pupils
in having new books furnished free of
cost, but it is extremely doubtful IL the
teachers are very greatly elated over
the prospect before them. The amount
of red tape connected with the system
would make an army officer green with
envy. The authority of the commanding
general of the United States army sinks
into the utmost insignificance In the
eyes of the pupils when compared to
that of the superintendent OF schools.
The pupil who needs a book must apply
to the teacher for ii and the teacher
must apply to the principal and the
principal must go to the superintendent,
who, II he honors the requisition, issues
the book, charges it to the principal,
who in turn charges II to the teacher
and she In turn charges it
to the pupil with all needful
advice and caution as to the
care necessary to the proper preserva-
| ton Of the aforesaid book, coupled with
tie terrible warning that IL by any mis-
chance or by willful negligence or by

Like private in the army, the pu-
pill runs the real danger of loss. while,
like a corporal, the smallest paid officer
in an army, the teacher assumes the
greatest responsibility, and the princi-
pal has still less worry, while the SUI

CURIOUS ATTACHMENT.
4 Little Brown Dog shows a Pig the
Way Home.

From the London Mail.
There are few things more interesting
in the natural history of animals or, in
deed more wonderful than the partiality
which individuals of totally different race
have exhibited for each other. About ten
years ago a friend who was rector of
rural parish in North Wales bought a pig
at one of his village fairs. 1t belonged to
a cottager who lived nearly four miles
from the place where the fair was held,
and who had probably brought it on loot
from his cottage that morning.
The pig was driven up TO the rectory
and placed in the sty,N and on the next
morning my friend went to see his new
purchase and to turn him out into the field
to take an airing, where he was left to
pick a few peas that had been thrown
down to make his pasture more agreeable.
After a while the pig was not to be
found. and a servant was sent to see if
the pig had strayed back to his old home.
There he was found happy and free
among the other animals of the cottage.
He was again driven to the new quarters,
and confined 10 the sty for nearly two
days. When it was thought he had be
come reconciled to his new home or had
forgotten his old one, he was again iber-
ated and suffered 10 roam at will about
the fold.
He was watched for awhile. but SEEM
ed to be so entirely at home that he was
left and forgotten until it was time to con-
fine him TO his own quarters, when he was
again sought for in vain
He had once more strayed to his old
haunts and had to be brought back again.
On the morning following this escape
my friend went TO the sly and found near
it a little brown dog, which he then re-
membered he had seen about the premises
several times since the fair and it oc-
CURED TO him that the pig and he were ac-
quainted and would, if the opportunity
We're offered, trot home together.
So the pig was liberated in order to see
if the surmise was correct and sure
enough, recognition, sweet and tender was
soon witnessed.
They were followed at a respectable dis
tance for fully half a mile, as they dill
gently trotted home together, the dog lead
ing the way, and anXiously looking back
every now and then to see if his friend
was following.
The little dog had been missed by his
master for long periods together and his
absence could not be accounted for till
my friend solved the mystery. There was
evidently a strong attachment between
them, but whether it was the force of this
attachment or anxiety to look after his
masters interests, the conduct of the dog
was equally wonderful.

The fish commission experts declared the
fish a new species, and an Investigation
was proposed; but, before il could be car
rled out, dreadful catastrophe occurred.
In March ana April lSa2 vessels arriving
at Boston, New York ana Philadelphia re-
ported tnat they had passed through nun
dreds of miles of dead and dying fishes OF
an unfamiliar kind floating on the sur
face Of the sea. These, as II proved We're
tile fish and The evidence gathered on the
subject showed that at least 1850 square
miles Of ocean We're strewn thickly with
scaiy victims numbering at least 900 OOo,t0J
enough TO feed the entire population of
the United states for two months.
Thus passed the tile fish the whole spe-
cies being apparently wiped out by a mys-
ferrous and wholesale calamity. But sue.
sequent Investigation has made it pretty
clear that the catastrophe was caused by
an intrusion Of frigid water upon the trop-
ical strip Running southwark on the
shoreWard side of it, as already explained,
is an arctic current from Labrador, which
during this fatefm season carried mucn
more cold water than ordinarily, possibly
because of the presence of unusual guam
titles of floating ice in the North Atlantic.
The COLI stream pushed away the warm
stream from the continental slope, and
frOze the tile fishes to death.
As Good as the Goldfish.

Trimble, Robert Gillian and Il. L..
Martin. The application for the APP
pointment of receivers was made by
Charles A. Grannis and other stock
holders and creditors of the road. 1t
was decided by the local officials of
the road to take action which would
retain the system in the control of those
who were its best friends and who had
been most prominently identified with
its growth and development. The in
terest due April amounted to S575, 900
and it could not be met When this
fact became known a movement was
inaugurated to secure the appointment
of a receiver who would be specially
friendly to the eastern interests of the
road. This move was checkmated by
the preparation of the papers for the
appointment of local receivers.
