river tragedy floated across the mind
of Mr.. Bachelor and on Sunday he ar.
rived in Burlington, having traced the
party, here.
The boat was seen to arrive here
Saturday evening at the levee by Cap
tain Doug Hammond. When the own
er was informed of the location of his
property he decided that it was best to
ship it back by freight, so he rowed 4
to point near the Rock Island freight
house.
Imagine his surprise when upon re
turning to the boat, after arranging
for it's shipment, to see one of the
gentlemen in possession of the truant
craft. The latter returned it to the
levee, to which Mr.. Bachelor FASTENED
in pursuit, taking the land course, as
he was not prepared to make swim
ming match.
Eventually a compromise was eff
fected by which the boat was re
turned to the freight house, this time
with the owner as passenger. 1t de

been forgotten. Now, who Della is
and who the gentlemen are, Mr.: Bach
elor failed to state, but he will refuse
to accept luggage in the future as Sc
curity for his boats.
The members of the party claimed
to be from Davenport, but Mr.. Bache-
lor is inclined to the belief that
who ever rowed the boat here from
Muscatine must have at one time be-
Ionged to a champion shell crew.
The boat, the lady and the gentlemen
have disappeared.

MISS JANSEN TO
SUPERVISE PLAY
At Long View Park During the
Month of August, Begin
ming Monday.

| A new pleasure is to be added to the
many that are provided for the chill
dren at Long View playground, for
they are to have a thoroughly comps
tent supervisor of play. beginning Mon
day morning. At that time Miss Hull
da Jansen of Davenport, who has
spent many years in preparation for
just such work. will begin the super
vision of play under the auspices of
the Fairgrounds committee of the
civic department of the Woman's club.
Miss Jansen will teach the children
new games, of which she has a big
store; will instruct in folk dances to
the music of a victrola. which will be
provided, and will pay special atten-
ton to kindergarten work Tennis
courts are a great attraction and rack
cts and balls have been provided by
the ladies and are for the use OF those
who will take care of them. Arrange
ments are also being made for a story
telling hour on Monday, Thursday and
Saturday of each week, which prom
ises to be a drawing card. A number
of people from the tri-cities have con-
scented to assist during this hour and
will come ready to tell wonderful
stories to the always interested chill
dren
The season will close Sept. and at
that time Miss Jansen will supervise
the presentation of program of
dances, etc., which will be for the gen
eral public.
The grounds are open each day from
9 to IL a. m. and from to $50 p. m,
and parents are urged to send their
children to the park, where they will
be well taken care of and at the same
time be taught many interesting things.
The playground at the Denkmann
park in the west end of the city, with
three days trial, is proving to be an
attractive place for the children of
that portion of town. NJ. A. Clevett of
the Y NJ. c. A. is on the ground every
afternoon from to 4:30 and has
taken charge of the boys and girls
who gather there. The average at
tendance has been about so and they
take an active interest in everything
provided for them. The tennis courts,
volley-ball courts. baseball diamond,
etc, are filed all the time, and MIR.
Clevett is giving instruction in the
playing of the games. Teams will be
organized as soon as the rules of the
games have been thoroughly learned
and there will undoubtedly be many
lively contests before the season is
over.
