WHAT A BABY COSTS.

WHAT \ BABY COSTS.
How much do babies cost?'' said he
The other night upon my knee;
And then / said: They cost d lot:
A lot OF watching by a cot
A lot of sleepless hours and care,
A lot Of heart-ache and despair.
A lot OF fear and trying dread.
And sometimes many tears are shed
In payment for our babies small,
But every one is worth il all.
For babies people have 10 pay
A heavy price from day TO day
There is no way 10 get one cheap.
Why, sometimes when they're fast
asleep
You have 10 get up in the night
And go and see that they're all
right.
But what they cost in constant
care
And worry, does not half compare
With what they bring Of JOY and
You'd pay much more for just a
kiss
Who buys a baby has to pay
A portion of the bill each day:
He has TO give his time and thought
Unto the little one he's bought.
He has 10 stand a lot of pain
Inside his heart and not complain;
And pay with lonely days and sad
For all the happy hours he's had.

His smile is worth il all, you bet"

The trajectory, or path, Of the
projecule can be made straighter
by increasing its velocity, but can
never be made perfectly straight.
For instance. suppose il started
from the same height, IA feet, with
a horizontal velocity of $500 feet
per second; gravity would act upon
IL exactly as before, and bring il
TO the ground at the end of three
seconds, but in that space OF time
II would have travelled $500 feet
instead of $500 feet from the muz-
zle of the gun. This is one Of the
reasons why as great a velocity as
possible is impaired TO modern
protectiles. The gunner knows that
he can 10y no means cheat gravity
OF its full due. 1t will allow him
just SO many seconds and not an
instant more TO keep his projectile
