hlhuelsdTIeH EXERCISES. Inc exercises
in this room never fail to interest Wis
itors as the little folks engage in them
with such total absence of any affec-
tation or feeling that they are do
ing anything which should interest
any one that they are all the more in
teresting.
The formal transfer of the Prescott
& Eastern, Phenix & Eastern and the
Bradshaw mountain railroad to the
Santa Fe company was announced
from New York few days since. The
proceeds of the recent SIC, O0O, 600 issue
of bonds, sold to j. P Morgan &
Company will be used in the com
pletion of the Belen cutoff in New
Mexico, and in completing the Brad
shaw mountain and Phenix & Eastern
lines.
The celebration of the feast of
Chanuca is now being held all over
the world by the orthodox Jews. 1t
began last Sunday night and ends to-
morrow night. The feast commemo-
rates the redemption of the Jews from
the tyrant king Antiochus of Greece,
who tried to abolish the Jewish laws
and make them worship the Greek
idols. Antiochus was defeated by Ju-
das Maccabees, who restored the Jews.
1t is referred to also as the feast of
lights, many candles being kept burn
ing during its continuation.
The New York Store has one of the
handsomest Christmas display win
dows in town. 1t represents Santa
Claus at his desk making out his list
of children to whom he is going to
give presents. His Office is handsome
lY fitted up with the finest office fur
niture, a stock of which the New York
Store always keeps. His office is
also filled with toys which will glad
den the hearts of the children. The
New York Store has one of the most
complete stocks of toys and desirable
Christmas presents for young and old
to be found in the city.
]. B. Jolly purchased ticket today
for st, Louis. He will use it on Sun
day mornings north bound train from
Prescott. If Mr.. Jolly was not such
confirmed bachelor, a suspicion
might be raised in the minds of his
friends that he contemplates CON-
mitting matrimony during the twenty
days absence from the territory. But
perish the thought that he would go
east for such a purpose. He is too
loyal to Arizona and there are too
many charming young lady teachers
in Yavapai county for him to be guilty
of such an act. The Journal Miner
wishes Mr.. jolly bon voyage.
R. G. Parmley and wife arrived in
Prescott from Sioux Falls, South Da-
kota, this week and will spend the
holidays here with NJ. G. Parmley, a
brother of the former Mr.. Parmley
is interested in the Dividend Consol-
idated Gold Mining company, which
owns one of the most promising prop
critics in this county, and combined
business and pleasure trip to this
place. Mr.. and Mrs. Parmley visited
this section two years ago, eating
their Christmas dinner that year at
the property of the Dividend COM
pany. They report the thermometer
at 20 degrees below zero at their home
when they left and 10 below at Kansas
City when they came through that
city. 1t is no wonder Arizona SUD-
shine looks and feels good to them.
Any we'll presented series of articles
on personal beauty is sure to attract |
attention, but "The Fountain of |
Youth" by DR.. Grace Peckham Muir
ray, the Introductory paper of which |
appears in the January Delineator, /
will receive more than passing notice.
There is. an urgent need of such a |
scientific treatise, simply and enlight-
eningly presented. The practical |
modern has discovered that the use of
reason and prosaic methods is snffi- |
cient to preserve the looks and |
strength of the years of prime, but
most women lack proper understand
ing of the methods. DR.. Murray's
orfiaIo an The Eooo oaooy,onor;oJ nth
striking illustrations, treats the sub
ject in detail and is essentially prac-
teal. Women who are in search of,
or DESTROYS of retaining, goods looks
will undoubtedly derive great benefit
from it.
