GEN. GRANTS WOUND.
Youthful Fred D. Is Declared Not to Have Been Hurt fin Line of Duty.

 Youthful Fred ID. h Declared Not to
 Have Been Hurt in Line of Duty.
 February 20 was the forty-seventh anniversary of the day that Maj. Gen. Frederick D. Grant was shot during the siege of Vicksburg-the event which has been the basis of the de mand by Vice President Sherman that Gen. Grant be enrolled as a Civil War veteran.
 pr. c. A. Blake, of West Brookfield, has come out with evidence to show that the wound received by Gen. Grant was not in the line of military duty. The man who handled the rifle which was responsible for the wound, says pr. Blake, was the late Caleb Perry, for many years a carpenter on the State farm at Bridgewater and prior to that a hunter and sharpshooter of note.
 At the beginning of the siege of Vicksburg Perry was stationed about the regular Union forces on the Mis- sissippi River, with orders to shoot at all persons and craft attempting to pass him without permission. The boy Grant and a companion, according to the story related to pr. Blake by Perry, were in camp with their parents and went out on excursions, which had nothing to do with military duty and which frequently placed them in jeopardy.
 On the night of February 20, 1863, so Perry's story goes, the two boys were out in a canoe, and in returning to camp passed the spot where the sharpshooter lay concealed. Perry said they did not heed his warning to stop, and, after firing in the air, he took aim and wounded young Grant. The next day Perry was called on the car pet, for it had been ascertained by Gen. U. s. Grant that he was the man responsible for the shooting. What threatened to be, if not court mar tial, at least a severe lecture, turned into dismissal from headquarters when he exhibited his order to shoot all who passed without needing his warning.
 Perry puts Gen. Grant on record as being moved almost to tears when he found that his son had unwittingly strayed into the trap set by Union sol diers for Confederate soldiers. and the outcome of the affair was that Fred got more of reprimand than had been originally intended for Perry.-Boston Cor. New York Sun.

Buildinq Up Affection.

Natural affection offers a fine foundation on which to erect the ed!- flee of firm and enduring friend ship. but 1t will not rise up itself We must build it, stone by stone, if we would possess 1t. If we have val ned and respected friend. what pains we take to cherish his friendship;
 how carefully we endeavor to prune away from ourselves that which would displease him, and cultivate those qualities which he admires; how we strive to gratify him by pleasant sur prises. and to avoid all that could wound or trouble him. Yet, let the familiar house-door shut us in, and how many of us take the same pains

For the Service of the Race.

There is no division of opinion as to the goal for which our girls are educated. More and more, out of the chaotic past, the conviction stands out that each enc of us is in training for the service of the race. A woman's goal, like mans, is to give up her life that the life of the next genera ton may be safer and wiser and hap pier than this one. No higher educa- tion that Is not foolish and ill-judged can unfit a woman for bringing splen- did children into the world and train ing them wisely. No higher educa- tion that is not foolish and ill-judged can unfit a woman, who is not blessed with children, for dealing nobly and wisely and generously with the rising eneration.-Louise Collier Wilcox, in Harper's Bazar.

HIGH RE ORD MARK FOR RENT
Small Store In New Fitzgerald Build ing In New York L1t for
 So,ooo Wear.

It was announced the other day that the first ground-fioor store in the new Fitzgerald building, now being erect ed on the southeast corner of Forty third street, in Times square, oppo- site the Times building. has just been leased for a term of ten years at ap- proximately 5000 a year, says the New York Times. The store will be the third from the Forty-third street corner. It will have frontage in Broadway of Il feet and will be 40 feet deep, giving a total of 440 square feet
 The price Is one of the highest ever paid in the city for a small store front age, exceeding the prices asked for some of the choicest locations in the busiest Fifth avenue retail district For the corner store. which will con- tain only little more floor space-about 450 square feet-the rental on ten years term is $16.00O, or about $36 square foot, which is we'll nigh if not the high record mark for business leases in Manhattan. There will be seven stores in the Broadway front of the Fitzgerald building, and before the structure is completed by October 1, it is believed that all will be rented, as negotiations gre practically closed for some of them. The building also includes the George M. Conan theater, entrance to which will be in Forty. third street
 All of the ground-floor stores will have large glass fronts, and the same plan will be followed in the adjoining building to occupy the rest of the block on the Forty-second street cor ner. It is expected that the demolition of the present structures, including the Shanley restaurant building, will begin early in July.

Clothes for the Boy.

An occasional suit in heavy pongee Is seen, even for the boy of ten, and this, too. is self-trimmed and finished with the strictest tailor effects. as q first-class outing shirt for a man would be. The waist which older boys are best pleased with has a center box plait and one or more pockets. A heavy leather belt. with large buckle and a soft tie. often Windsor. are the usual accompaniments to such suits. Low. rolling collars are provi. ded for the boy of five to seven. but a high turnover form is preferred for the older boy-Harper's Bazar.

Fresh Air Not Away. Free.

We smoved three times in six months just because the landlord wouldn't allow the baby to sleep out doors," said student of hygiene, who resides in Chicago. Then I took to explaining the case to the agent before we moved in. We were refused a1 apartment in four other riac1s before we finally found a landlord who didu'r object to the fresh air cure.
 ''1 don't care how much fresh air you get in a legitimate way was the way one agent put it, but it looks bad for the house to see beds and cradles piled up on the fire escapes. The o,n- CT tenants who have neither babies nor fresh air convictions find fault. They say it makes the place look like tene- ment, attracts attention from eie street, and all that, and they threaten to move if it isn't stopped. Even if the fire escapes are in the rear of the building. the neighbors talk and make things unpleasant
 And there you are. Fresh air may De as free as heaven, but it seems al most az hard to get enc as the ether"

Some Woes of Diet Treatment Victim
to All Reader.

terday morning at precisely a quarter of four o'clock, after the last of a regi- ment of savory sQuabs had marched directly under his nose. each squab carrying a julienne potato for mus ket, he sat up in bed and in clarion tones demanded that the nurse bring him two yards of porterhouse steak, half a peck of French fried potatoes and such vegetable brick-a-brack as might be necessary to accompany the steak on it's journey.
 Nothing doing in the steak line" said the sleepy nurse. Go back to bed and Illlgive you another walnut. :"
 I'm done with walnuts," said MT. beginning to feel like squirrel. It's James for a little broiled COW and fix ings'
 The nurse assured him that it was against the rules to allow diet patients to break training. She left the room just then and her patient embraced the opportunity to take himself by the hand and make a dash for freedom and regular food.
 Policemen McManus and Almond saw the white-robed figure and sneak ed up behind it with drawn clubs. Be lieving it to be the ghost of some misguided commuter, they were get ting ready to soak it on the head when MT. McGowan saw them.
 "Gentlemen," he pleaded, have pity on me and get me something to eat"
 What you need is something to wear" said McManus. What do you mean by frightening two honest po- licemen out of a nights rest with your night-shirt drill?"

ART OF EATING AN APPLE.
It Is at Its Best if Munched When
 Sitting on a Fence.

Ii Is mt It's Best if Nun nched When
 Sitting on a Fence.
 The apple is so engagingly vaga- oondish a fruit. It is the black sheep of tha fruit family, the tramp and roadster, just as the berries are the gamins and beggars. To eat an apple at a table is to treat it with all disre- gard of it's charm and character, the New York Sun says; to approach it with knife and plate is to take the hopelessly wrong road to its good graces. It should be munched out of doors, preferably with others in ones pockets. An apple is at its best if eaten while sitting on a fence. It then admits you to its sweetest juices, and SO attuned is it to the posture, so grateful for your understanding of it's proper environment and for the spirit of your attack, that any apple, even a lamentably gnarled one, contrives at such a time to be not wholly unworthy of your attention.
 An apple always incites to theft, se- ducing toe most carping moralist, and yet making theft seem right, seem the only sane act, in the very moment of your downfall. Apples love wanderers, approve of homeless people ard fol- lowers of the highway. They encour- age them by growing near the road and doing their best to sustain and nourish Even in a city apples hold their own and exert their influence. They make opera goers stop at fruit stands and in the flare of a gas jet drop carefully chosen apples into a vulgar and undisguised paper bag. With its pleasant bulge against one's side ones habits change, sinking to distinctly informal plane. Apples are above all an informal fruit and they argue that opera clothes have no weight against the enticing of rowdy- ish diversion of a ride on the top of a motor bus, air and apples being snfi- cient pleasure to justify the fall of any man. They argue so we'll, backed by their wholesome, lawless tastes, that one must needs agree, and pro- viding the apple sets the tone they make any lark success
