AS far as is known by the ladies
managing the woman's department of
the Morton County fair, which closed
day or two ago at Mandan, that fair

programme this year consisted OF solos,
DUETS, trios, quartettes, vocal solos
and twelve papers on the life of Mem
delssohn. The fair association offered
$14.50 and private citizens subscribed
over $40 for awards. Individual prizes
were also given, handsome book of
poems by Miss Schallern and a SPLEEN
did music satchel by Miss Ida Allen
The teachers represented were Mrs. w
A. Wheeler, Miss Flora Harmon and
Miss Hazel Creighton. The contest
ants ranked in age from to is years
The compositions rendered were large
ly from the old masters and authors
Of classic music, operate arrangements
not one trashy number being used. The
contest fully represented the class of
work done by the local teachers. The
greatest interest was taken in the
contest and in more than one way IL
has resulted in the stimulation of the
desire for the, best of music and
awakening interest and efficiency Of
music.

washington Post: When young
King Manuel paid his first visit 10
Oporto as king of Portugal, the sta
ton was crowded with people eager to
set eyes on the new king. Among
these were many girls OF the peasant
class, whose fair-hair and blue-eyed
style Of beauty contrasts strongly with
that OF their brunette sisters of the
south.
AS the king alighted from his com
partment one OF these ran forward and
kissed him on the cheek. Manuel was
nonplussed, but only for moment.
The next instant, to the delight of the
onlookers, he had returned the salute,
and the girl, laughing merrily, returned
to her friends.
This prank was very much disap-
proved of by one OF the ministers, who
ventured to reprove his royal charge.
rs not your majesty aware" he said,
that a constitutional monarch should
never act without first consulting his
ministers 2"
In matters Of state" replied the
young king, laughingly, IT am GER
tainly constitutional, but In such mat
tiers as this / am absolute"
A certain old lady told King Manuel
that she had had the pleasure of
kissing the hands of his father and his
grandfather, intending this remark as
a hint that she was DESTROYS of kissing
his hands Also The young king, ignor-
ing her implied request, replied court
eously, "Then 1t is my turn now,
madam" and he raised the lady's
withered hands to his lips.
