Atlanta ana Prohibition.

q ATLANTA, Dec, 21.-The legal war.
fare against the declaration Of the re-
suits Of the late Prohibition election
was resumed to day in the Superior
Court of Fulton County, Judge Clark
presiding. The case is identical with
that recently tried before Judge Mccoy,
of the Federal District Court, with
the simple substitution Of the name
of John W. Clayton for those who
went before Mccoy. 1t is intimat.
ed that the remark dropped by Jud. 9
Mccoy, lin his remarkable decision last
Thursday, that certain features of the
bill were uncop stitutional, will be made
the fes ture of the case.
The Constitution of the State forbids
local legislation by general statute. The
wine clause of the bill wnich permits
the sale OF Georgia.made wine, and for
bids that of foreign places, which is ad.
mitted to be unconstitutional, will be
the strong point upon which the legali-
ty Of the entire bill will be tested. The
ipjunction filed by Judge Pardee, of
the Federal Circuit Court, is relied
upon to effectually postpone the de.
claration of the result, even If the
effort of the State Circuit should fail.

The blessed words the shepherds thrill,
The Joyous tidings-Peace, good will!

Santa Claus and the Mouse.

One Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus
Came to a certsIn house,
To fill the children's stockings there,
He found a little mouse.
"a merry Christmas, little FRIEND"
Said Santa, good and kind.
'"The same to you SIR" said the mouse.
u thought you wouldn't mind
If / should stay awake tonight
And watch you for awhile"
You're very welcome, little mouse"
Said Santa, with q smile.
And then he filed the stockings up
Before the mou could wink
From toe to top, from top to toe,
There wasn't left a chink.
"Now they won't hold another thing"
Said Santa Claus, with pride.
A twinkle came in mouse's eyes,
But humbly he replied:
TITS not polite to contradict,
Your pardon l implore,
But in the fullest stocking there
1cOuld put one thing more"
"Oh. hol" laughed Santa. ''Silly mouse!
Don't know how to pack?
By filling stockings all these years
l should have learned that knack."
And then he took the stocking down
From where it hung so high
And said: 'Now put in one thing more;
give you leave to try"
The mouse chuckled to himself
And then he softly stole
Right to the stockings crowded toe
And gnawed a little hole.
''Now, if you please, good Sauta Claus,
Tve put in one thing more,
For you will own that little hole
Was not in there before"
How Santa Claus did laugh and laugh
And then he gravely spoke:
"Well! you shall have a Christmas cheese
For that nice little joker
"What did youg get in yours tocking?"
asked one Chicago girl of another.
Nothing" "Why, how was that?"
''Oh, l suppose it's on account of those
horrid newspaper men makingso much
of my darling little hose. Santa
Claus must have been scared away.

ised. Would woman do that9 Not much I
think. Now, it is plain why women are not
drummers.
I'm England few are travelling for CONNER
cial houses, but they simply go to places where
a trade has already been established and take
orders. They do not work up any new business.
Here in the United States drummers must not
only sell to old customers every time, but work
up new ones Their success depends on it, The
old customer is liable to be persuaded to buy
from the discount drummer who talks and drinks
for hours Commercial houses know these facts
too well, and that is why women are not en-
ployed in that capacity.
"a line. must be drawn somewhere and the
very nature of the business debars them at once.
There are plenty of women in New York to-day
plucky enough to go the road, but they are
wise enough, also, to foresee the result. A large
life insurance company employs a woman to can
vass for policies among women only They in
form me that thus far the trial has gwen eminent
proofs of the fitness of one good, talking woman
to get others of her sex to insure their lives
The company will shortly put seven or eight on
the road in different States. If there ever should
be an American woman drummer with the requi
site qualities. and the irrepressible pertinacity
and lordly assumption of the average male drum
mer, then | will say the time has come to let
women vote and enter the prize ring as slug
gers"
