Sugar Price Jumps

The wholesale price of sugar was
advanced Jn Omaha yesterday from

Our Children
As a Child Sees.
Every father lias been shocked at
some time or other by discovering his
child's opinion or impression of him.
Ho recofrnizes what he knows to be
hut an immaterial phase of his char
acter, a mere idiosyneracy, and won
ders how the child came to believe it
characteristic of him. He is hurt to
find his child so unappreciative.
What do children ace when they
look at us? That is rather important
when we remember that what they
see often they are likely to become
through practice.
Children see only what their experi
ence has taught them to see. They
see only what they have a background
for and understand on the basis of
that background. They see with their
minds, which are made of experiences.
Children love candy. It would
never do lo let. them eat all they
wanted of it, and the usual formula is
"Two pieces. No more. N'o. You will
make yourself sick. Too much eaml.v
t is not good for j’ou."
A Indy who had a little daughter ,
that was forced to hear this formula
often liked to sit in a rocker and read
a hook and cat chocolates from a box
on the little table at her elbow. Every
afternoon when she hnd changed her j
dress she settled herself for an hour
“of solid comfort.” She was rather j
stout.
One afternoon as she sat and rocked
and nibbled she became conscious of
liter little daughter's voice. She was I
I talking to her playmate. "When 1 '
I gl ow up big I am going to have a |
l big chair and a book and a big box :
of candy and I’m going to cat 'em and
cat '*un and I’ll be big like this," and
she blew out her cheeks and pushed
out her front in a ludicrous imitation
of her mother.
Wrath filled v<he lady's soul. "The
idea. You'd think that. I was a perfect
glutton to hear her talk. And about
her own mother. Children are aw
ful."
There was nothing awful about
rocking and eating chocolates to the
mind of the child. She thought that
would be blissful. The idea that It
was not just the thing was in her
mother's mind. Besides, she didn’t
