Winning a Bouquet.

Among his stories of Homburg in!
King Edwards days the author of "On'
the Track of the Great" notes the fash
ion of punching" presenting bou-
quets to Iadies) on the promenade and
tells this story of King Edward and
the Roman artist, Corrodi:
One morning dear old Corrodf was,
carrying around a bouquet of serious
proportions of fine tea roses which he
proposed presenting to an American
lady for whom he was eagerly seeking
in the large mass of promenaders. All
at once he Unexpectedly came across
the prince, accompanied by Lady Cork.
Good morning, Professor Corrodi"
exclaimed his royal highness. How
very kind of you to think of bringing
Lady Cork such beautiful bouquet"
Of course there was nothing left for
the genial Italian to do but to part
with his flowers and go and buy some
more for the American lady.

Mexieo's Spiked Mountain.

One of the most remarkable geolog-
ical freaks in Mexico is a mountain
situated on the outskirt of Pachuca
which presents the appearance at a
distance of being covered with spikes.
The sides of the mountain are closely
studded with stone columns or pail
sades. These columns are five to
IL feet long and as large around as an
average mans body. 1t is a remark
able uplift of nature which has the
appearance, however. of being the
handiwork of human beings. One side
of the mountain is almost perpendicu-
lar, and the stone columns protrude
from the surface at right angles, form
ing an impressive picture. Pachuca is
one of the most noted mining districts
in Mexico, and it is said by biologists
that this remarkable spiked mountain
is out OF keeping with the remainder
of the formation of the mineralized
region. The stone is as hard as flint
and has withstood the elements for
ages. The spikes form a natural bat

SITE IS SECURED
F0RNEW CENTRAL
GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Board of Education Adds to
Present Irving Grounds on
-. Twelfth Street.
LARGE BUILDING PLANNED
Structure to Be Erected at South End
of Lot VIII Be Fitted for
Higher Grades.

By the purchase of additional prop
erty south of the present Irving school
at Ninth avenue and Twelfth street
the board of education has secured a
site on which will be erected a new
building which is expected to solve
the problem of accommodating pupils
from the southwestern part of the
city.
The property in question is that of
Mrs. Britta NJ. Johnson, 1907 Tenth
street to the alley east 1t adds a
strip half a block wide and about 100
feet deep to the present school
grounds and was purchased at a cost
of $4,000, the residence on the lot to
be retained by the owners.
Tentative plans provide for an en-
tirely new building separate from the
present one, which stands on the
north end of the school property. The
new structure is to be built near
Tenth avenue, extending about 100
feet north. 1t will be one of the larg-
est and most modern in the city.
For Higher Grades.
The new school will be two stories
for the instruction of the two higher
grammar grades, probably on the de-
partmental plan. The present build
ing will be used, as now, to care for
children up to and including the sixth
grade.
Gymnasium, auditorium and per-
haps facilities for instruction in do
nestle science and manual training
will be provided.
For several years the Irving school
has been crowded, lately so that it
was necessary to fit up a room in the
basement for the smaller children At
the same time the older pupils in that
locality were compelled to go either
to the Lincoln or the Hawthorne
school for instruction. The addition
of tracts of South Rock Island
brought more pupils, especially in the
higher grades, for which there seem
ed to be no place. 1t was necessary
to furnish additional accommodations
and the board of education has had
the matter under consideration for
several months. The situation has
been canvassed from every angle and
prices secured on a number of prom
Using sites.
Is Central Location.
The location which has been set
tied upon as result of the purchase
of the Johnson tract is a central one
and convenient for the entire south
western part of the city, though the
area available for playground after
the new building is erected will not be
as large as might have been hoped.

SIGNS To WARN
auto SPEEDERS
Mayor of Davenport Orders
Same Placed Ga All Roads
Leading Into the City.

The moment an auto driver reaches
the city limits of Davenport and is
about to enter the paved street area,
he will be confronted with a sign con-
veying the warning: speed limit 10
miles an hour" before another week
has elapsed.
Mayor Alfred C. Mueller Las h.
structed the board of public works to
order sufficient signs, so that one of
them may be placed at the head of
every main artery leading into the
city. AS a result, Commissioner of
Public Works j. w. Crowley. placed
|orders for the necessary placards,
which will be finished and installed in
a few days. Same will be erected on
posts and will stand 10 feet above the
ground. The letters will be of a size
which will enable the autoist to read
at a considerable distance. These
signs will be placed at the city limits
ON the following thoroughfares:
Rockingham Road, Telegraph Road,
West Locut street, Hickory Grove
Road. Division street, Harrison street,
Brady street, Middle Road and East
River drive. One of the signs will be
placed at the bridge entrance on East
Second street, and at other places
which the board of public works may
see fit to choose.
The mayors action is due to the
fact that in the past autoists have
been arrested for speeding and have
claimed that there were no warning
signs, informing them as to the speed
limit in Davenport. The mayor of
Leon, Iowa, was arrested and fined
few days ago upon entering the city
via Rockingham road. He strenuously
protested, claiming that inasmuch as
the city had failed to provide proper
warning, he should not be held re-
sponsible. Mayor Mueller believes
that the signs should be erected In
fairness to the autoists.

clans at Prague has introduced for its
