A CHILD'S PERCEPTION


 and seem not to notice much that passes before them. but they see deeper into life and people than we realize. They study expression; they weigh motives; they jndge and honor or despise their elders according to their deserts. For better or for worse each child is being educated by his home sur roundings, and is receiving the indelible stamp that develops into the staple character of manhood. If the atmosphere of home is cruel, deceitful, critical. vulgar. igncble- SO will the child be who breathee and grows in the atmosphere. If the character of the home is kindly, gentle. sincere. honorable, truthful, charitable and high-minded-so will the children be. It is difficult to believe, but we really are known by our children It is not what we say, it is not what we want others to think of us, but what we really are, that is discerned by the clear eyes of childhood.
 If we are unsta pie and deceitful. our children. know it and despise us. If we are cruel and critical, our children know it and fear us. If we are tender and honest. our children know it and love us. If we are wise and noble hearted, our children know it and worship us. Words may count with strangers or even with neighbors, but with our children, who see us live, they stand for naught.
 What are their thoughts of us these little ones who are com manded to honor us, their parents Although their tongues are silent through fear or timidity, the true word is uttered in regard to us
 Does the growing lad think of his parents half scornfully as good hearted but unsta pie and foolish;' ; does he think of them angrily as hard hearted and mean; does he long for the day to come when he may return blow for blow or run away from home?
 Men and women have only to look back upon their own childhood to see how varied are the observa- tions and thoughts of children, and how deep the speculation Reason is undeveloped, and therefore imagination runs riot, and the soul is clear for vivid impressions They people the darkness with
 visions, and the daylight is full o
 wonder. How silent we are about { all these strange things when we q are little. Grown people art g garrulous, they long to talk O
 their experiences = but children
 have neither the desire nor tht e language to convey their thoughts : We have been too ready t D believe that children's thought e are hardly worth considering, bu Y there is much helpful in thei > point of view. Children neve E despair-they see too clearly fo J that. They are persistent optimists
 When we are overcome witt n trouble we should turn to childrel
 for consolation. and learn to thin with them that having our simples . wants and desires gratified, W
 should be contented. Childrel '. will teach us the true values of life . What the Father has given toda he will provide for the morrow. i ,. the simple faith of childhood Food, shelter, clothing. a littl e work and little play. someone t love and to be loved-these suffic # for happiness in the child's world
 Faith, hope. justice, charity, tender
 ness-these virtues we may lear 70 by studying the thoughts of ou e children. F. D. Phillips. Q

ANOTHER RAILROAD
ALREADY MAYBE NETT
Big Bend RancheFs Threaten te
Build Railroad of Their Own
Parallel to G. \.

The Spokane Chronicle of last
night contains the following article
in reference to another railroad into
Waterville:
road ignored Waterville and its pos
sibilities in surveying their Big Bend
line, says J. w. Scott, wealthy Big
Bend rancher. Waterville residents
are up in arms and declare their in
tention of building an electric line
nearly paralleling the Great North
ern in their section OF the country.
Waterville is to be the terminus
of the new line, which will tap all
of the richest wheat lands on the
plateau, asserts a Seattle report. In
building the line the route to the
Columbia river taken by the Great
and the lines of both roads in Moses
coulee, the only descent to the river.
will be few rods apart.
The promoters Of the new road
will not depend on the steam roads
to carry the freight originating in
the Big Bend If the line proves a
success, branches will be built to
Quincy. Ephrata, Wilson Creek and
other grain towns along the line of
the Great Northern and carried into
Spokane. the proposed eastern ter
minus of the new road.
1t is the intention of the men be-
hind the new road to connect at CO.
lumbia river with the Big Red Apple
electric line projected through the
Wenatchee valley from Leavenworth
to Wenatchee and thence beyond to
the Columbia river.
The power for the Big Bend roe
lis to be derived from the Entiat. a
swift mountain stream emptying in
to the Columbia a few miles above
Wenatchee. The power generated
by the river is sufficient toy operate
a heavy freight and passenger line
through the Big Bend and to sup
ply light and power to farmers living
along the right of way.

MINIS. Patti, in relating how she
first met King Edward, says: 1T
was at New York in 1859, when
was 16, that the future king, who
was then touring the United States
incognito, introduced himself to me
after my debut in Lucia di Lam

king for As years.
Nine. Patti said that Wagner
wanted her to take the part of Kun
dry in ''Parsifal'' She refused be-
cause she thought that Kundry
would have to shout too much. Wag-
ner was furious, and would never
again consent to meet her.
The great singer said that her
husband, Baron Cederstrom, would
like her to sell Crag-y-Nos and leave
England, but the baron would not
have his way this time.
