The results that could be obtained
through advertising the resources Of
this state through the North and West
can easily be judged by the results
that the Southern Land Development

Wonderful Miniature Creation
for Xmas Made bv Nez0urker

which. when lighted, give the tree an
appearance almost fairy-like.
The tree itself sits on a ~now-covere
hill, the top of which has beer leveled
and occupied by a company of tiny sol
diers with guns. cannon, tents, flags,
etc. The sides of the hill are given up
to a multitude of. children on miniature
sleds.
On n side of the plot is a model
two-story house, with transparent
windows, brick chimney and all the
other features of a dwelling. Each
room has been wired and lights in
stalled so hat with the turn of a
switch the whole may be illuminated.
Around the whole affair runs a trolley
line, which derives it's motive power
from an overhead wire system, dupli-
eating the regulation system. The car
has an electric headlight, which lights
the track. The trolley line is con-
trolled from tiny switches set on the
wall of the room. In addition to this,
there is an embryo amusement park,
electrically controlled, which, when the
proper switch Is turned, carries tiny
people on a tiny merry-go-round to the
tink1ing tunes derived from an cleo
trically-driven music-box.
The whole plot is surrounded by a
picket fence a few inches high.
Mr.. Stevens, the man who is respon-
sible for this unique idea in Christmas
decorations, is a young, smiling, beard
less fellow, apparently not more than
26 years in age. He says that the tree
was made merely for his own and his
two children's amusement, and that all
the work together did not take more
than twenty-four hours of his odd mo-
ments. The more intricate toys were
purchased. but most of the layout was
made by him from odds and ends
picked up about the house.

WANTS TO STOP ALIMONY
TO WIFE WHO REWEDDED.

John L. Maher, a former police SER
geant of few York, who married Mar
Saret " Frazier. of this city, in 1905.
has begun action to be relieved of pay
ing alimony to his first wife. who has
also remarked. At the time of the di-
vorce Maher was ordered to pay his
wife $50 a month alimony. Mrs. Meher
was granted permission to rsmarry.
but he was not permitted to do 50.
Despite this he took the Newark wom-
an : r his wife.
Maher informed the court that his
divorced wife had married William r.
Cole, formerly a boarder in his home.
Maher some time ago had the alimony
reduce to $4S. Maher contends that
he is not compelled TO support the
wife Of another man. As he is in ar
rears he is technically guilty Of failing
to live up to the courts order. When
he has paid the back alirnony his ap-
plication will receive consideration.
