Cooperstowns First Fire.

Early Tuesday morning the people OF
Cooperstown were startled by the alarm oi
fire. and Fastening from their beds, found
that the old and abandoned McCres resi-
denee was burning. Water was procured
from the pipe lire that runs through the
town to supply the wells, the Oil Well
Supply Co. furnished hose and as there
was no breeze the fire was subdued, but
not until it had burned the five buildings
between Bellas & Miller's store and the
Oil Well Supply store.
The buildings were owned by McCres,
Sheppard, Leslie, and Kline; and Stoppsrd
alone is sald 10 have had some insurance.
Bellas and Co. removed their stock and
sitter the fire carted it back again.
On the other side of the street the glass
o. the show windows of the NcClelland
and Birch dry goods store was cracked,
and had to be replaced.
This was Cooperstown's first fire and
very fortunately for the town there was
no breeze at the time. The loss is put at
So. 900.

In recent lecture, Prof. Denote,
who has made q lifelong study of electric
ity. said that the idea that electricity con-
tanned any medicinal or curative proper
ties, was simply absurd. To be sure 1t
has value, he said, in the hands of a skill
full physician, but the thousand and one
devices for the alleged cure of diseases, such
as electric belts and electric in-soles for
shoes. were uttsrly worthless.
The following lines often prove true
in these days:
"He went to bed at 8 p. m.
Got up again at five,
And worked from dewy morn till eYer
Quite more dead than alive.
And so he piled the dollars up,
And left them TO his son.
The boy then blew in every red,
And had no end of fun"

suits by an experienced fakir. Equipped

This particular individual works from

applies the watch having the weak tick to
the ear, returns the watch to his pocket,
applies some of his "4ightning hniment,
does considerable talking and rubbing, and
winds up by applying the other watch this

cure he makes probably dozen sales, and
then excites further interest by making
another cure.
Between two girls, equally accom-
plished and equally beautiful, the one rich
and the other poor, the average American
youth will select the poor girl. The TACT
is, that the poor girl is the more desirable
from every point of view. The rich young
woman is naughty, disdainful, artificial,
admiration loving, selfish, unrestful, en-
vious, ostentatious, and a lot more uIpleas-
antnesses. And not because she wants to
be, but because her environment has made
her so. The poor girl, on the other hand,
is likely to be amiable, self sacrificing
sympathetic, and to possess qualities that
make her lovable. The American youth
