Why does a man so soon forget his own childhood when it comes to deal ing with children? The boys rights are just as dear to him as the mans. The boys troubles are just as real and as heavy for him as the mans. The boys fond plans and ambitions mean worlds to him, and yet often they are ruthlessly dashed aside by the man without word of prepara- tion or reason. It is no wonder that older people lose the confidence and control of children when they cease to have genuine respect for the feelings and ideas of the young peo- pie, fail to enter into their enjoyments and troubles, and insist on substitut- ing grown-up plans fiatfootedly for the visions of latitude of youth.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
IN ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Statis-
tics just published by the British
board of trade explode the theory
that there are more accidents on
American than on British railways.
1t appears from the figures that
American railway travel is safer in
proportion than railway travel in
the British isles. According to the
report for 1904, 1877 passengers, 44S
railroad employees and 573 other
persons, a total of 1853 persons,
were killed, and 1892 injured in
railway accidents in Great Britain.
During the same time AL passen
gers. 1852 employees and 1913 other
persons were killed and Sales in
jured by railroad accidents in the
United States. The total mileage
of the British railways is 22,600
miles, while that of the American
railways is 213,904 miles. The
American mileage is nine and one
half times that of Great Britain,
while the total of American railway
fatalities is less than nine times
the English total. The total of in
jured on American railways is less
than four and one-half times the
English total. In addition to that
If must be considered that the DaSS-
enger and freight mileage on Amer
lean railways is far greater than
that on British railways and that
the amount of business done in this
country and the speed of the trains
is also far greater than the bust
ness and speed in Great Britain.

turned up at North Milwaukee,

himself generally fruitful of inter-
