A WONDERFUL BOY.
What tho Brown Family Thought Of
the New Arrival.

the New Arrival.
This is what the Browns had to say
Of the latest addition to the family:
The Mother-Oh isn't he the cutcst.
Grandest, handsomest, Smar;est little
fellow In the whole world? SUI h eyes.
Such features! Such shoulders. And
hear him talk, will you? Why, he I'M
derstands perfectly every word say.
The Father-Thcre's a boy for you!
Smith will brag about that kid Of his,
will he? Well. you just wait until this
youngster is a month old and III take
the conceit out Of Smith!
Little Bobby--So that's what the
stork brought, eh? Gee. the stork must
have it In for this family!
Little Bella-Oh ma he's swallowed
all his teeth, and all his hairs bowed
off!
Bachelor Brother-I don't want to
cause you folks any anxiety, but he's
the smallest human being l ever saw
outside of dime museum. You want
to feed him upon roast beef and por-
terhouse steak right away
Uncle Jack "a dog fancier)-Is his
nose cold? Hold him up by the back
of his neck and we'll see II he's got
any nerve.
Grandma-There you go, spelling the
child as soon as he has his eyes open!
l suppose when he's Il month old we
shall all have to stand on our heads to
amuse him! Give me that infant this
instant before he has collie and dies.
The Family Cat-Well, that settles
my hash! It's either hunt new home
or become tailless feline inside of a
month. Why. that kids got grip on
him like longshoremans
The Baby-Goo-goo! GOo-goo! Goo
goo-goo-goo! Or, in other words, "I'll
make it good and hot for this family
about midnight!-A. b. Lewis In New

A FLAW IN THE LENS.
The Loss Of Time and Money Involved
In This Scientific Tragedy.


Probably few persons took much in
terest in the announcement that flaw
had been discovered in the great 100
inch lens for the Mount Wilson reflect
ing telescope. To scientific men this
was no less than tragedy. since 1t
means an expense Of $4,000 and de-
lay of a year. with the possibility that
the second effort will be no more sue
cessful.
1t is doubtful If many persons ever
saw rejecting telescope. When the
term telescope is used we naturally
think Of an instrument with long
barrel" and lenses ut each end. These
are the most common. but are not in
many cases the most useful. They
have defects which cannot be remedicd
in our present state Of knowledge. and
they have limitations put upon them
by nature which perhaps may never be
overcome. Rut the rejecting telescope.
consisting of Il single lens placed hori-
zontally and without any BARREL" Is
in many respects the more useful IN
strument for astronomers, although it
also has its dra wbacks.
In this instrument the light falls di-
rectly on the lens and is reflected back
to Il focal point. which is distant from
the lens according to its diameter. |,
is open to the objection that the light
reelected back intcrfereS with the fall
ing rays, but ingenuity has overcome
much of the disadvantage The largest
effective instrument Of this sort Is at
the Yerkcs observatory, but the one
planned for Mount Wilson is to be
more than twice as large and much
larger than that Of Lord Itosse. which
was so famous fifty years ago
The difficulty in constructing n lens
more than eight feet in diameter arises
absolutely flawless. or as near so as
human skill can make it. To make
such lens is long, expensive and
difficult process, and many failures in
evitably result before success Is
achieved even for small lenses. If the
100 inch lens is finally turned out nor
mally perfect. we shall have an in
strumcnt which will greatly add to
our knowledge Of the universe about
US. 1t is an interesting fact in this
connection that for several generations
the best glass has been made in
France. but the best workmanship in
grinding the lenses Is done in this
country. The latter work is so deli
cate and difficult that 1t requires al
most n sixth sense to accomplish any
thing like desirable results.-Philadel-

Much Money In Cows.

The creamery companies have
been operating in this vicinity
but little over half year yet
many of our farmers are already
realizing nice profits each month
from the sale of cream.
John Jungert, who resides
south of Keuterville, informs us
that from nine COWS he sold cream
to the value Of $77.48 in thirty
days last month, besides having
all the cream and butter neces-
sary for home consumption, to
say nothing of the separated
milk, which was fed to the cal
yes and pigs and formed an i'm
portant part of their daily rations.
This is only a single instance
and there are no doubt others on
the prairie who have done as we'll
or better than has Mr.. Jungert.
The above figures, however, show
that the sale of cream is certain
to become an important feature
with our farmers and the one
who arranges to handle it prop
erly by grading up his stock and
arranging for their proper care
will be the one who will make
the best success of the business.
Monthly cream checks are fine
thing on the farm and, when
when combined with the sale of
fat hogs and a few steers occa-
sionally, will do more to put the
farmer in an independent class
than any other phase of farming
he can engage in.

WOULD FORM A
BALL LEAGUE
Lewiston Fans" Try to Interest
Prairie Towns in Forming Base
Ball League to Cover Both
Counties. A Good Scheme.

The following letter was re-
ceived here this week from the
manager Of the Lewiston base
ball club and is self explanatory:
Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. %, 1909.
Manager Base Ball Association,
Dear Sir: We are interested
in forming and promoting an
Interstate Base Ball League a.
mong the towns in this section,
and our representative, Mr.. F.
H. Campbell, will be in your city
within the next ten days to con-
fer with you in regard to this
matter, and in the meantime we
would like to have you talk this
over with your people so you will
be able to furnish him with all
the data possible at that time, as
to some positive assurance of
your cooperation and such other
matters as we shall be mutually
interested in to make this organ
ization a success.
Yours very truly,
N. H. E.
In connection with the above
we can say that base ball
league, such as is now attempt
ing to be formed, would afford a
great deal of amusement for our
city this summer and, with good
teams in each town, games could
be arranged so that each place
could have from one to three
games a week. Cottonwood had
the best team in Idaho or Nez
Perce counties last year and we
believe a team equally as strong
could be supported here this year.
Several good players have located
in this vicinity since last year
and it would not be hard to or
ganize a good team composed Of
nearly all home boys. Why not
try it whirl, anyway. We don't
want to have it said that Cotton
wood is the only town this year
not in the league.
