'Cooperstown Courier: The Valley

Rddium and Liquid Air
Coming to Our City

So great interest has been shown
by many citizens in having brought
to our city the demonstration of Ra-
dunn, Liquid Air and Wireless Teleg-
raphy, that contracts have been sign
ed to have these wonders shown and
clearly explained by VIM. B. Patty in
an evening of delightful and instruc-
tive entertainment, the 23rd Of Octo-
Der.
Supt Hanna and Mr.. Biggs have
carefully looked into the merits of
the attraction, and are sure an unusual
treat has been secured. The three
wonders have been much heard Of,
but little seen by the most people,
and this opportunity to gain tirst-hand
information Of three live subjects and
see dozens of marvellous experiments
performed Herewith will doubtless
bring out a large audience. Prof.
Patty is fluent speaker, witty and
entertaining, and uses language such
as even the children can understand.
He has been demonstrating these sub.
jects for years, and hundreds of hear
ty testimonials from all parts of the
country attest the superior merits of
the program. Besides, every ticket
sold carries a printed guarantee that
money will be cheerfully refunded if
the entertainment is not exactly as

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD FOR COM

SNOW FLIES

With more than fifty men at work, a
big ditching machine on the job, and
prospects for good weather for the
next three weeks all indications point
to the completion of the gas COM
pany's mains before the annual freeze
comes.
F. e. Ployhar, manager of the plant,
is We'll pleased with the progress
made so far. The shortage of labor,
several weeks of almost incessant
rain, and the subsequent demand for

difficult to keep the work going, but
nothing now stands in the way Of
starting the plant this fall.

Rag Time Ausic, TwAes
and Candy for Prisoners

Atlanta, Dec. 25.-There wee
genuine air of Christmas cheer
about the dinner served today to
the 318 prisoners at the federal
penitentiary here. Plenty of
roast turkey with cranberry
sauce was set before Warden
Meyers "boarders" in the pris-
on mess hall to the accompani-
ment of Christmas melodies and
rag-time songs.
Never before in the history of
American penal institutions have
the inmates of one enjoyed such
spread. The warden explained
to his charges when thew sat
down to dinner that he believed
that every human being was en-
titled to be happy at least one
day out of 365. He wished the
prisoners Many Merry Christ
masses and many Happy New
Years, and he touched respon-
sive cord when he expressed the
hope they would spend them
outside.

the foot of hill crowned with great

tinkled ceaselessly in the evening

Here they dismounted and together
made the ascent Of an age-old wooden
stairway, broad and easy. and throng-
ed from the first rise to the last With
weary pilgrims. beggars, lepers, laugh,
ing children, mendicant holy men. The

having received permission. with meet
show of reverence entered the temple.
1t was very dark inside and for
time they moved blindly in and out;
but at length they came to a massive
doorway looking toward the West, and
here they paused, hand In hand, look
ing up to the placid face of a huge
Buddha, who squatting cross-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through the
incense-scented gloom ceaselessly for
ward to Nirvana.
The figure, carven originally from
stone, had been so heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by the devout, that
now it had all the semblance of being
gold to it's core; and, lavishly deco

rare jewels set in crusted gold. in the
