Carried It In His Head.

When four years ole. Mozart played
minuets and learned music with fa-
cility, and at the age Of six he COM
posed a concerto for the harpsichord,
which, though written strictly in ac-
cordance with the principles and tech
mic Of bis art, was yet so overloaded
with difficulties 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 ont 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.

I came back and entered the dead room
Henry lay in that open case, and he
was dressed in q suit Of my clothing.
He had borrowed It without my knowl-
edge during our last sojourn In st.
Louis, and I recognized instantly that
my dream Of several weeks before was
here exactly reproduced, 50 far as
these details went, and I think I
missed one detail, but that one was i'm
mediately supplied, for just then an
elderly lady entered the place with a
large bouquet consisting mainly Of
white roses, and in the center of it was
a red rose, and she laid It on his breast.

TIE Indirect Method.

Homemade ice cream was regular
item on the bill Of fare at Willie's
house. and while he liked the cream he
drew the line at turning the freezer
One day when his mother returned
home she was agreeably surprised to
frd him working at the crank as If his
life depended on it.
''I don't see how you got him to turn
the ice cream freezer" she said to her
husband. II offered him dime to do
II, and he just laughed at me-
"You didn't go about It the right
way, my DEAR" replied her husband.

"Hanqed" and "Hung.'

Perhaps the Bible has had an tnfu-
ence in preventing many people from
distinguishing between the uses OF
hanged" and chung" says q London
writer. They 'hanged" Haman, but
the Jews in captivity also hanged
their harps upon the willows" and in
the New Testament we read cit were
better for him that milestone we're
hanged about his neck" If hanged
was correct in either sense In the days
of the authorized version, those who
are not strong upon grammar may be
subconsciously induced to believe that
hung" is correct N both senses now.
But it is curious that the exclamation
"I'll be hangedw never appears as I'll
be hung
