A BOY NAMED W0LFGANG
And How He Grew to Be a Great
Musician

We hear nowadays of many little
boys and girls who are clever musi-
clans, but 1 do not think that single
one of them is such a marvel as was
the famous composer Mozart.
He was an Austrian boy and was
born about $50 years ago. His father,
who was also musician, gave him the
odd name of Wolfgang Amadeus
Chrysostum.
When only years old Wolfgang
began to take lessons on an instru-
ment called the harpsiehord, and in q
year he could play difficult works of
music and compose little pieces of his
own.
He got on so well, indeed. that when
only 6 years old he Travelled through
Austria and other countries, giving
concerts and showing his skill as
player before kings, queens and other
great people
He also went to London.
And the wonderful playing of such a
little boy was the wonder of the time
One of Wolfgang's best friends was the
empress of Austria, who was a hne
lady, on whom everyone looked with
awe.
But the little boy musician was not
in the least awestruck, for once, to the
surprise of all, he jumped into her lap
and kissed her with a big smack.
Then, on another day, when he was
again playing for the empress, he fell
on the polished floor and was helped
up by the empress daughter, who was
only three months older than Wolf
gang The little composer was so
grateful that he said to the little
princess: you are very kind. When
grow up l will marry you!"

A WISE MAN
And His Troubles with the People
in the Market Place

wise man once went to the market
plac< of a town, where a lot Of people
were buying and selling things and he
called out in loud voice. ''Ho! no!
listen to me, all you people. l have
been ordered by the king to collect all
the clever people and take them to
him, because he wishes to reward
them"
Everybody that heard him said they
were clever, and they gathered round;
then he called out in a loud voice:
"Hoi no! you people, listen to me. The
king has just sent me word that he
means to reward only those who are
fools, so only those who are not clever
must go with me to the palace"
All the people of the town looked at
the wise man, and then one by one they
joined him again because, so they said,
they were fools.
The wise man snook his head sadly,
and he sighed as he said: 'Ah, the
world goes as the world blowsi Hot no!
you people, listen to me. You can
all go back to the market place as
quick as you can, for you first said
YOU were clever and then you said you
were not, and you can't be both.''
The wise man knew quite well that
the people only wanted the reward.

A GOOD FAIRY

BY HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD
OF all good fairies round the house,
Good Nature is the sweetest;
And where she fans her airy wings
The moments fly the feetest.
And other fairies, making cheer
With her are gaily present;
They shine like sunbeams in the place,
And make mere living pleasant,
The smiles she gives are rosy light
Shed softly the wearer;
They make a plain face something fair'
And make fair face fairer.
Before them dark Suspicion flies,
And Envy follows after,
And Jealousy forgets itself,
And Gloom is lost in laughter
Were shere great genius or great power
Great wealth, great beauty offered
Let pass these fays, dear heart, but keep
All the Good Nature pronered!

The Sweet Little Girl and Quaint Squeegee

The Sweet Little Girl and the Quaint
Squeegee,
They met by the shore of the violet sea;
Twas midsummer night and the moon
shone bright;
He was dressed in purple and she in white
And a fairy-wind blew o'er the sea
"Oh Sweet Little Grill" said the Quaint
Squeeze,
"A measure, / pray you. come dance with
me!
'Tis midsummer night, and the moon
shines bright
To dance with you I should deem de-

While the wind blows over the seal"

FIRELIGHT

When the north wind and the rain
Batter at the window pane,
And the shadows leap and fall
Down the pattern on the wall
In the flrelight as l sit,
Stories gather. bit by bit.
And l see the castles grow
And the long professions go
Kings and armies, red and white
Marching in the golden light;
Fairy knights in fairy mall
! can Sc a fairy-tale.
And when l am put to bed,
St1l within my sleepy head,
still the castles change and grow,
Stil the long professions go.
ERIC PARKER
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-21

Said the Sweet Little Girl to the Quaint
Squeegee,
"A measure with pleasure I'll dance with
thee!
So that midsummer night, while the
moon shOne bright,
They danced and bowed In manner po-
lite,
And the wind blew over the sea.
Then the Sweet Little Girl and the Quaint
Squeegee
Said good by on the shore of the violet sea,
While the moon so bright, with its ruddy
light,
Still shone through the magical mid
summer night
But the fairy wind fed from the sea.

Like to read McGuffy's readers
And the blue-back spellin' book;
Biography that's set to music,
And the writin' gran pap took,
Like TO rummage in the big chist,
Like to peek in bureau drawers;
Like to read the letters gran pap
Wrote in analyne from The wars.
Say! When 1t is rainin' fellers,
May be hanted. but / dast,
Set there by the winder, seeing
Great things loom up from the past
