ALARM EXPRESSED
FOR GEN. GRANT
Said to Be Stricken by Throat
Trouble Like That Which
Killed Father.

WASHINGTON, April Great con-
eral Frederick Dent Grant, son of for
mer President Grant and brother-in-
law of Mrs. Potter Palmer. of Chicago,
who has been suffering from an affec-
ton of the throat for several months.
and is now, by direction of a famous
specialist. in Florida at Mrs. Palmer's
great estate seeking relief from the
ailment.
Solicitude for General Grants condi-
ton is heightened by the fact that the
death of his distinguished father was
brought about by throat trouble, irri-
tated by constant smoking. General
Grant is like his father in that he
smokes continually.
General Grant was communicating
chief of the Department of the Great
Lakes, with headquarters at Chicago,
until a few years ago. Then he was
ordered to New York and placed in
command of the Department of the
East.
Early in the present year he was
taken i'll, and on February l was
granted a leave of absence for two
months. Part of the time he was
under the direct care of a noted spec
ialist in New York, without apparent
relief. His condition became SO seri-
GUS that he was told to seek another
climate, and he went south to Sara
sofa, Fla, where Mrs. Potter Palmer
is building a magnificent country resi-
dence.

HOME POOR PLACE TO WORK
Best, Whenever Possible, That Man Should Be Away from t1c House
 in Daytime.

The man of the house should not be the man in the house all day long, if it can be helped If he be an aftst with a studio at homo, a minister with a study at the top of the house phy- sician with office hours, CT any other man who is accustomed to carry oD his work at home, the household -2e commcdates itself to him, and in sense ignores his presence. It is true that he is constantly subject to inter ruptions when he wC@ks at home, his wife softly opening the door to sa% 'oThe milkman has called for his bill, and cannot make change" CT Some body has asked for you at the door Will you not go dcWn and Sec him: or. Do pardon me for breaking iu Ep. on your work, but Aunt Jennie has just telephoned that she is coming to i luncheon. Won't you step over to the butchers and get q porterhouse i steak"
 l It is not quite ideal for the man of 1 the house to do his work at home. For his personal convenience and com i fort it is preferable that he shoNld do it elsewhere. The temptation to run in upon him, to read a letter, tell q bit of news or ask advice, is t@0 great for the average woman to overcome.
 Also, he gains something in the es- timation of the family by gong away in the morning and returning at night, while for himself there is the manifest advantage of a charming and restful change of scene when he steps within his front door to be stolmea tpon with kisses by the children and welcomed by his true comrade ane partner on the road.-Womans Home Companion.

Why They Can Spell Ite.

'sBefore l went to Europe" said t&e school teacher, .'it was one of the mysteries Of my profession hGV every British child enrolled in our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might hesi- tate over one tl'' or two, the children never. They might make orthographic mess of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. One wiqtry mouth in, those same islands told me why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clnthing stores, in shops of all kinds cures aud preyentives Of chilblains ape uni yersallys advertised.

READY TO FOLLOW LEADER
Unless It Is Fear, There Is No Con tagion So Quickly Spread as
 That of Emotion,

George F. Bass used to tell a story that illustrated the contagion of emo tions.
 An old darkey sat by his tireside in de1ected frame of mind ruminating on the miseries of the human race. Towser, his faithful hound, lay on the hearth with his joWl on his paws, ab- sorbing the heat in blissftl som. nolence. Presently the master groaned sepulchrally Towser courteouslT opened one eye for a second and tapped on the floor with his tail. A silence. Then said the master: "Houn. man am oon to trouble as de spa'ks fly upwa'd."
 ToWser shook off slumber for 9 mo. ment. lifted his head and eyinced his sympathy by steadfast lock, then settled down to dreams again. An other silence. Then the master in- spired to fuller expression of his woes by the response of his auditor, con- tinued:
 "Houn', dis y 'arth am place O trouble an a vale O tears; de debbil he roams, up an down like a hongry lion seekin' who he may devour; de ways of de weekcd am shorelY full O tribbalation."
 This time ToWser's nose was lifted toward the ceiling and long, luguDri ous woo-o-oW-woo-Woo! expressed his acquiescence to his masters sentl ments.
 "yes," was MT. Basss conclusion emotions are contagious; all that is ] needed is a proper leader"
