Ye who wander free from care,
Seeing goodness everywhere,
OF serpent's fang beware
Cruel deadly, keen.
In the covert dark he lies,
Hidden quite from human eyes,
Or assumes harmless guise,
Or a friendly mien.
When our hearts with rapture bound,
And our ardent hope seems crowned
BY the love and friendship found
Turks that reptile near.
From beneath kindly screen,
Envious grow his eyes of green,
AS he views the happy scene
With hateful eer.
Watching till the victim sleeps,
Soitiy near The serpent creeps-
Strikes the fiery venom leaps
Deadly through each vein.
Writing lies the stricken low,
Stung 20 madness by the blow
None his agony can know,
None relieve his pain.
Ministers that dwell above,
Where is naught save peace and love,
Car we not to pity move
Hearts 10 envy given7
Is their mission to destroy
Happiness, with hate employ

PROPOSALS FOR A SIZE
Government Sends OutAdvertise.
ments for Bids for Federal
Building Lot.
Ground l4Oxl5O Feet Desired,
Unless the Building is Located
on Corner.
Methods of Procedure in the
Selection OF Grounds for
Public Buildings.

| Dispatches from Washington an
nounce that the treasury department
Thursday sent out advertisements for
bids for a site for the federal building
In Marshalltown, with those for other
cities. The official documents and in
structions are expected in few days.
The proposal Will call for lot 140x15O
feet. The course of procedure In such
matters is as follows:
AS soon as appropriation Is available,
advertisements for site proposal is
made-usually for a period of thirty
days-after which an agent is sent
from the treasury department to ex-
anime all sites proposed. After such
examination he makes his recommen-
dations and reports to the secretary of
the treasury. After the site is deter
mined upon, the matter Is referred to
the attorney general, who investigates
and reports upon the title. When the
title is declared perfect by the attorney
general, who operates thru the United
States district attorney for the district
in which the building is to be located,
then the department prepares the plans
and specifications for the building.
Matters as to suitable materials, etc.
are determined by the treasury depart
ment, thru the architect Of the treas
ury. The superintendent Of the build
ing during it's construction is placed in
charge of one of the corps of superIn-
tendents in the employ of the treasury
department, who are In the classified
service of the government.
Incidentally 1t may be said that gen.
eral preference Is given to corner sites
for the reason that the law provides
that there must be forty feet clear on
each side of the building between 1t
and the other building Gas safeguard
against fire), and where a site is Dor
dered by a street forty feet of ground
is thus saved. A public alley way
would also provide that much space
that would not have to be purchased.
If, however the requisite ground, in
GLIDING forty feet of space on each
side of the building. can be purchased
as cheaply, or cheaper than corner,
and such site were deemed advisable.
the department would not necessarily
hold to the general preference for a
corner site. In other words, such pref
erence is not an iron-clad rule. It Is
the policy of the department to secure
as much ground as possible for the site,
to provide for any addition that might
become necessary In the future to the

OFFERED IO Mr.. CRANE
Dayton. Ohio. Man rendered
Position OF Superintendent
of City Schools.
Practically Certain That He Will
Accept = Board Considers
Him Prize.
Highly Recommended as an
Educator and Gentleman
His Career.

The position of superintendent of the
+. e. Willard, has been rendered to Mr.
William 1. Crane, of Dayton. Ohio.
| Chairman Click, of the teachers COM
mittee, sent the tender by wire today,
and Mr.. Cranes acceptance is momen-
| tarily expected.
| This selection was reached after due
elaboration on the part of all the board
members, who have been working har-
moniously in the matter, and after a
thorough investigation of Mr.. Cranes
qualifications and character by the
teachers committee, Mr.. Click and Mr..
Church, the latter acting in the place
of Mr.. Turner, who is absent from the
city.
The board has reason to believe that
In Mr.. Crane they have a prize. Mr..
Crane recently visited the city and at
that time signified his willingness to
accept provided the board concluded to
offer him the place. He believes, after
looking over the field and from the
reputation of the Marshalltown schools,
that Marshalltown is an excellent place
for him to exercise his talents in a
work to which he is devoted.
Mr.. Crane Is a young man, SO years
of age. His immediate family consists
of wife and three children. He was
educated at Western Reserve Univers-
ity in Ohio, and for the past eight years
has been connected with the schools of
Dayton. He has occupied the chair of
English in the Steel high school IN that
city for a number of years. Mr.. Crane
has the strongest recommendations
from leading educators of the country
of any of the candidates for the super
intendency and of those who were in
vestigated by the teachers committee.
Mr.. w. N. Hileman, superintendent of
the Dayton schools, recommended him
as a progressive educator, possessing
a strong personality, popular with the
teachers. students and school patrons.
He regretted the prospect of having
mendations were from Mr.. e. G. Cooley.
superintendent of the Chicago
schools; r. G. Boone, super
"
schools; President living. presiden of
Western Reserve University; John
Dewey, of the chair of pedagogy in
Chicago University; Hon. Henry Sabin,
of Des Moines, and others.
Mr.. Cranes work has been PERSONAL
ly investigated by eastern friends of
members of the board, and they will be
sorely disappointed if he should change
his mind and decline. He is recon-
mended as strong man among edu-
Gators, and is widely known among
leading school men of the country. He
has no entanglementS with book con-
Germs, alho he has edited several text
books, and during the vacation period
is in demand as lecturer and instruc
tor in normal Institutes Mr.. Crane
has been secured by County Superin-
tendent Hostetler to assist in the COM
ing Marshall county institute.
Mr.. Crane will receive for his first
years work here salary of $1,000. He
is expected to visit the city next month,
while en- route to Oregon to fill three
lecture engagements and to deliver an
address before the teachers convention
at Minneapolis.
