VII of Norway
King Frederick VIII was born at
Copenhagen June 8. 1888. He was pop
ular with the people of Denmark, as
was his father.
King Frederick was noted for his
culture, and possessed many foreign
distinctions While seldom openly iden-
tifying himself with political questions,
he took an active part in all public
movements. He was at one time chan,
cellor Of the Copenhagen university
and head of the Free Masons of Den
mark. He was we'll known as a pro-
moter of philanthropic objects.
Blow to People Of Denmark.
Copenhagen, May 15.-The people
of Denmark are momentarily stunned
by the sudden death of their popular
king, who only two days ago, they
were informed in official communica'
lions had completely recovered from
the serious illness which had affected
him earlier in the year and was re-
turning to Copenhagen in excellent
health.
Evidences of the deepest sorrow and
sympathy are visible every where.
Copenhag is fast assuming the garb
of mourning.
The tragic circumstances Of the
kings seizure are virtually Identical
with those of his first illness three
months ago. with the exception that
this time the attack terminated fatally.
On both occasions his majesty was
walking in the streets alone when he
collapsed with heart failure.

iesty's return from Nice has been
fastened. as the physicians recognized
the possibility of catastrophe. The
court physicians were unable to induce
him to observe the quiet necessary to
his convalescence. A rumor is cur
rent that the late king recently visited
fortune teller incognito and was In
formed that he would die on May Is.
Late King Admired Americans.
Frederick VIII was a great friend
and admirer of the United States. He
read daily newspapers and was close
student Of American literature. He was
always glad to greet American visitors
at the palace. During the first two
years of his reign he was not beloved
bv the Danes. but in the last couple
of years. when the people had
recognized his ideal for Danish well
fare and prosperity he became most
popular.
New King Proclaimed.
Copenhagen. May 15.-Christian x.
was proclaimed king of Denmark from
the balcony of the palace at o'clock
this afternoon in the presence of a
huge concourse of people who. had
gathered u the square in front of the

Prince Christian went out for his
customary ride early today. unaware
of the death of his father. When he
arrived in the capital from his resi-
dence outside he saw the flags flying
at half mast and THIS was his first
intimation Of the bitter blow.

WOMAN HAS
TWO HUSBANDS
MRS. ZIMMERMAN, SICK IN KEo.
kUk HOSPITAL, HEARS THAT
FORMER HUSBAND RETURNS,

! Keokuk, May 15.-Centered about
Graham hospital in Keokuk Is one OF
the most interesting real life stories
that has been brought to the notice
of the public in months, while one or
the principals in the tale OF double
marriage is suffering from the affects
of an operation for tumor.
Mrs. A. M. Zimmerman, wife of
local blacksmith, has two husbands
one who has just returned from the
dead after fourteen years absence,
and Mr.. Zimmerman, with whom she
has lived in Keokuk for the last nine
months. The Hannibal Courier-Post
discovered recently that tale woven
with litigation, supposed death and
other prominent features for season
ing, was laid at its door.
While Mrs. Zimmerman could not
answer the telephone, her sister-ln-
law. who lives near her, at Eleventh
and Fulton streets. confirmed the
statement that the woman IN the
hospital was the first wife OF Otis
Wilton. The son, Otis, Jr., came here
last Sunday and is working Tor the
water power company.
The son brought the news that his
father had returned to Hannibal, the
sister-in-law said.
The marriage of Mrs. Zimmerman
to her second husband is legal, accord
ing to Missouri state laws, seven
wears being the required time limit
to establish legal death in that state.
An engaging account in the han
nibaI Courier-Post relates:
'Rivaling the story Of Enoch Arden

nibal last Friday after having been

along the gulf. 1t was universally |

former home that he had been killed |
in a railroad wreck in the south
Everybody lost trace of him and he
dropped out of the world so far as
any of his former friends or relatives
were concerned.

election of Gov. McGovern is, how
ever, a question.
Really the greatest advantage to
the Democrats in the situation lies in
the fact that all the Republican forces
will be fighting from different angles
and that there will be no centralized
fight in favor of any of the eandi-
dates Thus if the state and national
campaigns are directed by different
committees it cannot help but aid the
situation for the Democrats most ma
terially and the campaign made by
the Republicans will be faetional
rather than party campaign. In
other words, there will be no unit
battle in the fight.
Anyway, the Democrats seem will
ing to take their chances in the cam
lpaign and to make their battle against
the Republicans on the lines the lat
ter party has arranged. It is the fact
the Republicans are so broken up that
gives the Democrats such real hope.

have been in school two years, and so
on up the line, the average error, or
amount Of time over this standard, for
the children in each grade was comput-
| ed, the two classes, those with and
those without kindergarten training,
being kept separate as before. From
this, an average for all grades was
computed.
! This average retardation was found
to be forty-two hundredths 42) of a
! year for all children with kindergarten
training and ffty-nine hundredths
(.59) of year for all children without
| such start. From this it was readily
reckoned that the 925 children of the
former class were ahead of where they
would have been without kindergarten
training by total Of Isl years and
that the 73S children without the
training lost a total Of 121 years by
being thus deprived
When this saving and loss in years
| is expressed in money cost it takes on
more concrete significance, especially
with school boards. Here is a situa-
tion, as Mr.. Ayres says, where time y
| is money.
The average cost per year of chill
dren in the Kenosha schools is about
1913. From this unit cost it is found
that by providing children kindergar-
ten training, the city mas saved S3489
on 925 such children involved in this
count; and that it has lost, through
the greater retardation Of the 1888 chill
dren who had missed such training, a
total of $27S3.
Here, then, are my two arguments
in favor Of kindergartens.
First, it lis the right Of every little
child to have the best possible educa-
tional start, and hence the duty of
school officials to see that kindergar-
ten privileges are furnished for all.
Second, it is the right Of taxpayers
that there be wise and economic ex-
penditure of school money, and that,
therefore, all means for diminishing
retardation, and consequently for
lessening the cost of education should
be employed. One Of these means is
the kindergarten as the above describ-
ed investigation proves.
