Twas the night before Christmas
Not creature stirring, a mouse,
The stockings hung by chimney w care
In hopes that st. Nicholas be there
The children nestled snug in their beds
While visions of sugar pums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her kerchef and in my cap
Had just settled brains a long winter nap
When out on the lawn there a clatter
sprang from bed the matter
Away to the window flew fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave luster of midday to objects below;
When what to my wondering eyes appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
knew in a moment it Nick
More rapid than eagles his they came
And he whsted shouted and called them by name:
Now, Dasher! now Dancer! and Vixen!
On, Comet on, Cupid! on Donder and Bitten!
To the tpo of the porch top the wall!
Now dash away, dash away, away ALI"
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane Ay
When they meet with obstacle mount to the sky
SO up to the housetop the coursers they few
With the sleigh full of toys-and St Nicholas too
And then in a twinkling heard roof
The prancing and paving of little hoof
AS drew in my head turning around
Down the chimney ST. Nicholas bound
lie was dressed all in fur from his o foot
And his clothes all arnshed ashes and SCOT,
bundle of toys he had flung back
And he looked like peddler just opening his PACK
His cheeks were like roses his like cherry;
His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry
His dro little mouth drawn up like a bow
And the beard his chin as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe he held tight n his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his like a wreath
Te had a broad face and a little round belly
Ihat shook when he laughed, like a bowl full or ieIv
lie was chubby and plump-a right jolly elf;
AND laughed when him spite of myself
A wink of his eye and twist head
Soon me to know 1 mad nothing to dread
lie spoke not a word but went straight o his work
And filed all the stcckings with jerk
And laying his finger aside nose
And giving nod, the chimney he rose:
lie sprang to his sleigh, to his gave a whistle
And away they all flew like down of a thistle.
But heard him eXclam drove out of sight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a GOODNIGHT"

Want Some Of
THE BLACK SHELLS

Stand beforeyour dealer and say that
You will not guess they're all
right" You will say, "Those BLACK
SHELLS are the quickest and surest
that ever came my way" That's what
they all say.
The improvements in THE BLACK
SHELLS are big enough to count.
Here are few-think 'em over:
The Non-Meremic Primer is better than the
old mercury-and- ground glass kind, because it's
uniform sure and quick. The United States
Government has discovered this and no longer
uses mercuric primers for high explosives, fuses
or small-arms ammunition.
The Flash Passage 1.-THE hole in the head through
which the flame passes from the primer to the
CHARGE is 1000 larger than in ordinary shells.
That means speed, and fraction of second
counts when you re stopping bird on the wing
THE BLACK SHELLS are really waterproof
even a ducking won't hurt them. They'll
not stick in the barrel and they'll not cut off,
There are three classes of THE BLACK
SHELLS:
ROMAX. black powder shell with 5fl6-in. bas,.
CLIMAX. the most popular smokeless Doth dense
and bulk shell made. Has 12-in. base
AJAX is the highest grade smokeess (both dense
and bulD shell made. Has long. lin, brass base.

Possibility That Sundry Civil
Bill May Not Pass Causes
Serious Delays.

Possibilities that the sundry civil
bill will fail in conference, along with
the delay in getting action on 1t, are
causing serious interference with
preparations for Government work
throughout the country and with in
vestment business in Washington.
The appropriations in the bill. as a
rule would be available July l. This
date is only three weeks of. Until
the bill Is passed. no calculations
can be made on use Of the funds con-
tanned in the measure.
Should the bill fail entirely, the
Government would be put in a most
embarrassing situation as to a large
number OF proposed expenditures.
The bill carries s2,s23s72 to pay the
balance of the awards in the condem-
nation for enlargement of the Capitol
grounds Owners Of the property have
been expecting this. 1t will mean
serious loss Of revenue to many peo-
pie in the District having properties
between the Capitol and the Union
Station If the bill is not put through
in a reasonable time.

Legislation HurtfuI TO Bust
ness of Inn Keepers.

The seventh annual convention of
the Georgia Hotel Mems Association
VIII be held at the New Kimbal,
house Friday and Saturday, Decem-
Der IL and 10. and it is probable that
some questions vital to the hotels will
De taken up. One of these is the at
tltude OF certain legislators toward
hotels and hotel keepers.
The officers of the association are
warming the members in regard to
attempts to pass legislation hurtful
TO the institutions. In literature SEM
out the following is set forth:
Warning Sent Out.
10 you know that during the last
session of the Legislature that seven
ollls were introduced affecting the
hotels in this State, any one of which,
II passed, would have proven a hard :
snip TO the hotels and would have
aDsoluteiy put some out Of business
Ihis association has undertaken and
Is gradually bringing about a much
needed reform In the hotel laws of
our State. One of the objects is to
prevent the passing Of unjust legisla-
ton. This association should have
the nearly support of every hotel man
in this State.
BY investigation you will fnd that
practically all the legislation that has
been secured in any State for the pro-
tection or hotel men has been secured
only through the efforts of the hotel
associations. 1t Is reasonable to be-
lieVe that the larger the membership
or your association the greater the
influence"

to search the police records and get the
