A great piece of road building was
completed In Iowa. last week. when in
the short space of one single hour a line
IF road $50 miles in length and stretching
entirely across the State of Iowa was put
in the most perfect condition of any road
west Of the Mississippi river. Weeks
and months were spent in preparation for
the work. but not a pick or shovel wa !
used until the designated second was
licked off Then as il by magic 1000
workmen swarmed out on the roadway,
and when they ceased work 60 minutes
later Iowa had one Of the finest long
distance roads in the entire West
And not the least interesting thing in
connection with the tremendous piece O!
work IS the fact that not man Of the
entire 1900 engaged on the work re-
ceived one cent of wages. Good will and
patriotism alone are responsible for the
splendid showing.
Last winter the Iowa roads became sc
fearfully bad that traffic was practically
killed and farmers were compelled sim
ply to remain in their homes. Finally tbs
matter became a political question. and
both parties got behind the movement
Governor Carroll called a good road,
meeting at Des Mones early last March
and out of this meeting was evolved the
plan of a river to river road, stretching
from Council Bluffs on the Missouri river

worth half million dollars. He used
to exhibit it publicly. One day, ex-
amining the gallery, he noticed sheet

The new queen of England was the

Prince Albert Victor died on Jan.
IA, 1892. The English people sympa-
thized with Princess Victoria Mary,
and on all sides people were say
ing that Prince George, the brother Of
the dead prince, ought to marry her,
which he afterward did. In those days
the new queen was most popular in
England as the Princess May.

KING EDWARD AT THE AGE OF SEVEN.

Driving in Tring park, Lord Roths-
child's place in Hertfordshire, Eng
land, they would lark together like two
overgrown boys, even to the extent of
MASKING in one another's hats in their
exuberance. To Lord Rothschild then
the prince was "Bertie." But the
week that he became king he was
heard to say, "Nye"-that was his pet
name for Baron Nathan Rothschild-
ut won't do now" He never was
"Bertie" again, and there was no more
knocking of hats over one another's
eyes. The friendship remained the
same, but the kingship had to be re-
spected.
As King and as Private Person.
An incident at Sandringham, King
Edwards estate in Norfolkshire. show
ed how keenly he felt that as king he
belonged to his people and how closely
he separated the kingly from the per-
sonal identity. He was attending the
parish church as king. A newspaper
photographer tried to step out into the
pathway to obtain snapshot. A cou
pie of detectives seized the man by the
neck and flung him back into the
crowd. Edward VII. stopped, had the
photographer called and posed for him.
Later in the day Edward VII. was
sauntering around his garden as
private person, enjoying smoke after
lunch. The same photographer, deem
ing he was safe as persona grata,
ventured over q fence for picture of
the king in private life. The king sig.
nailed to his guard, had the man seized
and carried to the railroad station,
with word that he was never to let
himself be seen at Sandringham again.

The lord mayors splendid coach,
drawn by six horses, was one Of the
sights.
But the chief spectacle of all was the
kings procession on the way to the alb.
hey, heralded by prolonged under
tone of joyous applause all along the
route. The king and queen rode in the
famous and costly royal coach, pre-
coded, surrounded and followed by
glittering retinue of life guards, SOL
diers from the colonies on which the
sun never sets, members of royalty,
peers and various other dignitaries.
The interior of the abbey presented
a blaze of color. The archbishop Of
Canterbury took his seat beside the
coronation chair, with the lord high
chancellor seated beside him. King
Edward walked to his chair in front of
the throne and bowed to Queen Alex
andra, who had entered at the left of
the throne. Then he knelt in prayer.
The king stood up, and the archbish-
op read the recognition, beginning,
"Sirs, I here present unto you King
Edward, the undoubted king Of this
realm" etc. A shout, "God save King
Edward!'' went up from the brilliant
assemblage. With king and queen
kneeling the archbishop read the COM
munion service. The administration
Of the oath followed the singing of the
creed.
After the archbishop's amounting
prayer the king Invested himself Of
his outer robe and walked to the an
cient coronation chair, where the arch
bishop placed the crown upon his head.
The Prince of Wales advanced to pay
homage to his sovereign by kissing the
kings hand.

| "D'' When he was a
boy Of ten he was with his mother,
Queen Victoria, at Balmoral castle, in
the Highlands Of Scotland. At that
time the queen was quite a skillful
painter in water colors and spent
many days by the waterfalls and in
the glens making pictures.
One day while she was sitting at her
easel young Edward was playing
around her. The little prince sudden
~ caught sight of a Highland lad in
kits. The lad was making a sand
castle and adjoining it with heather.
"Ye'l No Dae That Againw
The prince advanced to him with
royal hauteur and asked for whom the
sand castle was being built.
For Bonnie Prince Charlie" was
the playful reply Of the boy, who stood
with his hands on his hips to see the
effect Of thistle on the top story.
The lad had no idea that his inter-
locutor was any different from any
other boy. The young prince, however,
determined to make it clear that he,
and not Prince Charlie, was to be king
some day. He kicked over the castle.
The Highlander, glaring at him, said:
yell no dae that again!"
It was a challenge. The lad rebuilt
his sand castle very deliberately. The
prince waited until the thistle was
stuck on the top story, then kicked it
over.
"Ye'n no dae that third timer
challenged the little Scot, beginning
to rebuild with even more deliberation.
The queen had been noticing the af
fair. She set aside her brush and pal
cite, but said nothing, only watched.
A third time Prince Edward kicked
over the Highland lads sand castle.
No sooner was it done than its killed
builder closed his fists and lowered his
head. In another moment the two
boys were hammering one another.
The queen sat there and never inter-
fered by word or act. The little prince
presently returned, weeping, bruised
and bloody nosed, while the rebel Gael
stood apart. To the little princes
plea for speedy justice and vengeance
the motherly queen merely replied as
she wiped the blood from the future
kings nose:
ut served you right"
One other boy who has long since
grown into a tall, sturdy Californian
told tales in former years of an en-
counter which in his schoolboy days
he had in Scotland with the then
youthful prince. In this case, too, it
seems royalty was the aggressor. The
Californian. James Miller, was living
at the time. in Scotland. AS James
was enjoying donkey ride one morn
ing near the Firth of Forth the prince
passed by and-just for fun-pulled
him out Of his saddle. Next moment
his royal highness found himself CIV
ing and taking blows with plebeian
rather bigger than himself, who did
not spare him punishment. In after
life the prince often referred pleasant
~ to the ''little mixup." He never re-
scented the drubbing he got and once
on learning that his former adversary
was in money difficulties went gener-
ously to his assistance.

Official Proceedings.
In all probability the course Of pro-
ceedings followed on the death of
Queen Victoria nine years ago will be
adhered to in the present instance, save
that the serious illness Of King Ed
ward necessitated a postponement Of
the coronation ceremonies. On that
occasion. as on this, the Prince Of
Wales was in the death chamber. A
meeting Of the privy council was call
ed at st. James palace the next morn
ing, at which orders were issued for
the official proclamation Of the new
ruler. Public announcement Of the
death Of the queen was made by the
male members Of the royal family, the
archbishop Of Canterbury, who is head
Of the Established Church of England;
the privy councillors, the lord mayor,
the aldermen and other officials of the
city of London. All these persons and
officials declared the succession to have
come to "the high and mighty Prince
Albert Edward, our only lawful and
rightful liege lord, Edward VII" The
following afternoon the houses Of par
lament met to receive the oaths Of al
legiance and supremacy.
At the meeting of the prtvy council
the king made brief speech, announc-
ing his acceptance Of the name Ed
ward VII. which was published in the
Official Gazette. The formal public
proclamation of the new monarch took
place at 9 o'clock on the morning fol-
lowing the taking of the oath.
