This train is constantly traversing it's circular tracks, and is the object of much admiration on the part of the youthful spectators. On the evening of December 24, at the Royal theatre during the intermission be- tween the two picture shows, mini ature electric trolly car and tracks will be given to the person holding the lucky number, these numbers now being given with each soc pur- chase at the store. or by clipping the coupon appearing in the stores adver- tisement in the press. This is one of the most attractive toys ever seen in a Clifton store, and is well worth the admiration of the little ones.
 Among the articles carried by this store which are especially appropriate for Christmas gifts are Christopher's candies, in dainty boxes; perfumes i'm ported from all nations; manicure and dresser sets that are of the finest in design and of the most durable quality; full supply of the most beautiful in cut flowers, especial at- tention being devoted to American beauty roses, which are grown in the famed Rosary" at Phoenix. No more appropriate gift for the Christ mas days could be imagined than these flowers of delicate beauty.

Good PaxEor Herrnita.

Hermits were a century or more back regarded as picturesque feature of country houses Samuel Rogers re- cords that Archibald Hamilton, aft erward Duke of Hamilton, advertised for a hermit as an ornament to his pleasure grounds, and it wasAstipulat- ed that the said hermit should have his beard shaved but once a year, and that only partially" Mark Powyss, the squire of Afareham, in Lancashire, offered $50 a year for life to any man willing to live as hermit on his estate for seven years. He was to be well supplied with provisions and books and other comforts and in return had to abstain from strayfng beyond his hermitage and from cutting his hair, beard or nails. The offer was accept ed by man who abode by the scondi- lions for four years and then threw up the job.-LonG1on Chronicle.

Tn those days women work cd fn the mines. and two or three rows of grimy, staIwart damsels, black and robust, with a blackness and robust ness hardly ever seen now, formed themselves in front of them
 O'Connen rose and began, "Sur- rounded, as am, by the fair, the gen tie and the good''- Up went the grimy arms and the grimy threats roared applause
 The fair, the gentle and the good eheered every sentence after that, and as they almost alone in the vast audi ence could hear what was said, their cheering was of some importance, be cause when they applauded the people behind appiauded. and so on. till the outermost ring was reached, which rendered it's tribute to the concluding sentence of the speech some time after ex was over

NEW BASEBALL ALIGNMENT
 PROBABLE NEXT sEAsor

If Q bunch of real inside dope isn't spilled within the next few months, the 1914 season will witness a brand new deal in the circuits of the big minor leagues.
 According to this information, the international League and the Ameri- can Association will not only be per nlitted, but will be urged, to place clu bs in the cities that now have rep resentation in only one of the majors. These cities are Washington, Cleve- land, Detroit, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. By the change in cir cults, all the larger cities of the East and middle West would be given con tinuous baseball, thus shutting out the possibility of a successful "outlaw'' in vasion.
 Brooklyn and Washington. and pos sibly Pittsburgh, will get International League clubs if this project is carried out, while the American Association will invade Cleveland, Detroit and Gin cinnati. Whether the International or the big Association will get the Smoky City is-stin up in the air.
 Jersey City and Providence are the clubs likely to be dropped from the International, if this scheme goes through. In the American Association the clubs to be left by the wayside would most probably be Toledo, Co., 1umbus,, Kansas City and Louisville.
 Not much oppOS1tlOn IS e1pSCC6o from Jersey City or Providence. as both clubs have been losing money. Tn the West, however, there will be one grand fight against the proposed scheme. It is said that there will be a large sized rookus if any attempt is made to transfer the franchises of any Of the cities
 The big stum bling block is the fear that the displaced cities in the West would refuse consolation in the shape of clubs in a, reorganized Western League, and. would organize an out law circuit
 If Kansas City will be good, and quietly subside into the Western League, and Louisville will be con- tent with a berth in the Southern or Western, the promoters of the reor- ganization will take chance with Columbus and Toledo. Those are husky s'ifs.'' however, and 1t is diff cult to, imagine the big cities on the Ohio and the Kay accepting any such solution of the problem.
 But that is the dope now being com sidered by the inner circle of the baseball trust and. they may be able to pull it off.
