When four years old Mozart played minuets and learned music with fa cility, aud at the age of six he com loosed a concerto for the harpsichord, which, though written strictly In nc cordance with the principles and tech nic of his art, was yet so overloaded with diihculties that It could not be played. It is related that Mozart once hap pened to put off some music that he had been engaged to furnish for a court concert so long that he had not time to write out 'the part which he himself was to perform. The Emperor Joseph, who was of a curious turn, chanced to be in the com poser's studio when he asked: "Where Is your part? I do not see it among these sheets of music." "Here," responded Mozart, touching his forehead. St. Louis Republic. Free Baby Day Free. During evey Friday a sitting of your baby and one cabinet picture will be given to you, free.

It is being built on the state fair grounds t IH'S Moines and when finished will occupy three acres under roof. The Judging ring occupies a square almost surrounded by pens. This will be the center oC attraction for the Iowa people nt their state ex position this year, says the Clinton Herald.

An Effective Hat, rink and red are the contrastln colors that are effectively ustl in a stunniiigIiat. For the daring combina tion the velvet is the red, while the plumes are a faint pink, and the cher ries are touched with both hues. The crown of this hat is swathed with velvet, while the brim is smooth and plain. This is turned shandy up at the left front, where a big bunch of tinted cherries rest The plumes are uncurled, one of the fashionable freaks for the moment, and droop over the crown o!I of the back of the hat.
