pilyeu, the local pitcher, was. In
good form throughout the game, but
his best playing, perhaps, was his
excellent head work, the confidence
he inspired in his field. Backed up; by
excellent fielding, he saved himself
frequenlty by totting the visitors hit
the sphere which always found a
fielder under it, waiting to pull it
down. The game put up by the
Joseph team was a good one a bet
ter one, In fact, than that of the
preceding Sunday;, but it was not
good enough nor fast enough to cop J
even a solitary run. j
According to the new schedule
Just arranged at the meeting of the j
league officials, the locals will play
.Sunday and Monday next at La
Urande wblh the La Grande team.

DATIONS FOR 108.
The growth of Enterprise hav
ing doubled in the paat few years
is such that the Increase of school
children demands school accommoda-
fcttis -in excess of those now af
forded. Looking to such an lncrea3e
the public school board Is wisely
getting plans for the addition, of a
large wing, containing t,wo splendid
rooms and affording accommoda
tion, for 108 additional pupils.'
The plans are now drawn up. The
remodelling will greatly improve the
architectural appearance of the
present school buIUlng, and provide
for the growth of the young popu
lace. The school officials, are com
.nended for their foresight in. this
natter, which la a characteristic one
it Enterprise's "enterprise," and
will no doubt press the matter to a
splendid completion.

OLD HORSE FALLS INTO
WELL IN THE NIGHT.
An old horse, a pitiable picture
of advanced age and equine despair,
fell into Uie dry and unused well la
the rear of the Enterprise Press
jtflce last Friday night. The animal
was discovered In the morning. Ac
cording to the looks of the hor3e
and the examinations of his teeth
by local authorities he must have
passed some twenty blistering sum
mei and come twenty rigorous, win
ters. Marshal Hug was communi
cated wiith, and responded at once,
bringing aid. He dug the animal
from the well, and later men ar
ranged a derrick, getting the old
fiellow on his feet, when he walked
3ff. No owner hae yet been, found,
xhe brands on the animal are as

pleted, "
Wallowa was represented in the

The Making of Lenses.
The essential part of any device for
the study of the starry millions the
suns, planets, couiets and the oebulue
that are perhaps uew worlds In the
making is the leus or the optical train
that consists of a series of lenses,. It
Is; this that makes the modern science
of astronomy possible. There is abso
lutely no other human occupation that
requires the. accuracy of observation
and the delicacy of touch that are
requisite for the making of the finest
lenses. These are the most perfect
products ' of human bands. It may
convey some Idea of the labor requir
ed in the making of a large lens to
say that at least one year's time Is re
quired for the grinding and polishing
of a thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two Inches In diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention of
a skilled workman for two or three
days. It .la easy, then, to see why It to
that even lenses of high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty Inch
object glass for a targe telescope can.
not be made In much less than four
rears' time, and if everything does not
go just right It may require much
longer than that. Kansas City Star.

Persian Jeets.
An exceedingly ugly man. says the
Persian Joe' Miller, was once In the
mosque, asking pardon of Allah for
bis sins and praying to be delivered
from the fires of belL One who over
heard his prayers said to him: "Where
fore, O friend, wouldst thou cheat hell
of such a countenance? Art thou re
luctant to burn up a face like that?"
Another story .the Persian jester tells
Is that a certain 'person with a hideous
nose was once on a time wooing a wo
man. Describing himself to ber and
trying to make au attractive picture,
be said, "I am a man devoid of light
ness and frivolity, and I am patient in
bearing afflictions!"
. "Aye," said the woman. "Wert thou
not patient in bearing afflictions thou
hadst never endured thy nose thes

Bohemians and Wedding Rings.
. "Here are two wdlng rings that 1
have Just made over," said the jew
eler. "They are for Bohemian women.
They lost their own rings, so they had
their husbands' rings cut down to fit.
That is a custom in their country.
Both husband and wife wear wed
ding rings there. If the man loses bis
ring he has to buy new one, but if
the woman loses bers she wears ber
husband's. 1 do a good deal of that
kind of work. Other women who lose
wedding rings just buy another one
and say nothing about It. but these wo
men are too conscientious for that'
Usually I have to make the man's ring
smaller, but once In awhile It has to
be spliced to make It fit The women
are always considerably cjiagrined
over the splicing and offer all kinds of
explanations to account for their big
fingers." Mew York Sun.
The Roulette Ball. .
That 'capricious little ball that de

One afternoon It slipped from its
manipulator's fingers and found Its
way Into an Englishman's coat pocket
So impressed was the Englishman
that be promptly lost, a couple of hun
dred pounds. But the little ball once
found a far stranger destination than

hand, it flew straight Into the mouth
of a German onlooker, and he was so

Tea In Paraguay.'
When tbe natives of Paraguay drink
tea they do not pour It from a teapot
into a cup. but Oil s goblet made out
of a pumpkin or gourd and then suck
up the hot liquid through a long reed.
Moreover, the tea which they use is
altogether different from that which
comes from China, being made ont of
dried and roasted leaves of a palm
like plant which grows In Paraguay
and southern Brazil Tbe natives say
that this tea Is an excellent remedy
for fever and rheumatism.
