Selling Pistols Quite Difficult NON.

ATLANTA, Ca, March SELLING
pistols will be a great deal more diff
cult in the future in Atlanta than 1t
has been in the past, under the drastic
terms of an ordinance just passed b3
the city council at the request OF the
Fulton county grand jury, and intend
ed to curb the practice of pistol to5-
ing. which has always been a fruitful
source of crime in this city. The or
dinance requires all dealers to file
written application with city council
for a license to sell pistols, to prove
good character, to state the details
of any other business they conduct
and to pay a license of 500 a year
III advance. 1t requires them to keen
a record oe the name, address, Occu-
patton and description of every per-
son to whom they sell pistols.

Where Mistletoe etows.

In addition to all the many kinds of
oak trees and the naples, mistletoe
grows with persistency and fondness
on the paper mulberry, the persimmon,
locust, ash. gum, sassafras, elm, Usage
orange, pecan, hickory, cherry. pear
and apple trees. In the far west 1t
takes hold Of the cedar and the pine
trees, especially the yellow pine lodge
pole pine and Douglas fir. The plant Is
widely distributed by birds. which eat
the whitish-green semitransparent
berries, those birds being mostly mock
lngbirds. cardinals, cedar wax-wings
and sparrows. The robins have some
thing to do with the distribution Of
the seed. The pulp of the berries is
very sticky, and when, they become
overripe they fall from the parent
sprig and stick to some other part Of
the tree. thus developing another sprig
of mistletoe. The department OF agrt-
culture considers the mistletoe pest
and Inns inveighed against 1t, but the
,nistletoc still fiourishes.

Beautiful Sea and Sky Effects.
S. G. w. Benjamin says: mo part Of
the Atlantic is more prolific In the
wonders of the sea than the Azores.
The inexhaustible diversity of the
cloud scenery of those islands have
never seen approached except at Ma
deira, combining the effects of sea and
land clouds.
"At sea the impression of distance is
conveyed as never on land, because
no hills nor mountains intervene to
interrupt the view of the most dis
tant cloud strata, and no clouds are
so full Of suggestive form, of repre-
sensations of dreamland as those far

Mr.. Bowser was half IN hour late
in coming up to dinner and Mrs. Bow
ser had begun TO worry for fear of
accident, when he arrived. He came
along In brisk, excited sort of way,
and he had not yet entered the door
when he called out:
''Is that dinner ready? have only
ten minutes to spare"
''What is it?" she asked. as she fol-
lowed him down to the dining room.

GREAT EAGLE OF STONEWORK
Quartz Rock Bird, Work Of Indians,
Measures 100 Feet From Tip to
Tip of Wings.

Conflicting stories are told concern
Ing large (stonework eagle which is
situated on the broad top of stony
rain-gullied hill in middle Georgia.
The one point that seems to be GER
tain, observes q writer, Is that the In
dams left the eagle as a legacy to
the state. A hundred years from now
1t will probably be found lying on its
back, with outspread wings and tail,
even as 1t lies today. For 1t is made
Of quartz rock So cunnlngly placed
that 1t would require pick In a
strong mans hands to displace any
one OF them. The rocks lap and over
lap In such a manner as to represent
feathers. No cement holds them In
position, and the stones vary In size,
weighing from half pound to three
or four pounds. The image rests on n
very firm foundation, for the stone
work extends several feet into the
ground.
Once, perhaps twice, treasure-seek-
ing vandals dug into the breast of
the eagle; but the work must have
proved too laborious, for the diggers
gave up before they had reached the
bottom layer Of overlapping stones.
Rough but fairly accurate measure
ments of the bird show the length
of the eagle from the middle of the
tail to the head to be 102 feet, and
from tip to tip Of outspread wings
100 feet. The length Of the beak is
10 feet, and the height of the body
ut the center Of the breast Is 10 feet.
The eagle lies with its head to the
west.
Tradition does not give any salts
factory explanation Of the age or the
meaning Of the great stone mound. It
may have had religious significance
to the Red men who built 1t, and It
may be the burial place of some great
chief. 1t is most mysterious and
interesting prehistoric monument.

next thing you hear of me, shall be
on the bloody field and, perhaps, have
fallen with the others"
II Mr.. Bowser expected Mrs. Bow
ser to faint away, or burst into sobs
and tears, he was disappointed. She
took the news very calmly. Indeed.
she rather smiled than grieved as she
said:
IL have been wondering for some
time why you didn't go to war. You
are an nble-bodied man and 1t Is really
your duty. When the honor Of your
country Is at stake, you should be one
of the first to uphold 1t. / will gladly
help you get ready"
eyes, ! am going to war and shall
do my best to rout the enemy" said
Mr.. Bowser, in less enthusiastic
tones. Its one chance in thousand
that ever return, for shall ask to be
sent right into the first battle which
takes place."
''Of course you WILL" replied Mrs.
Bowser. "There will be no such thing
as keeping you out of battle. AS for
your being killed, you must run the
risk Of that. Won't 1t surprise the
neighbors around here. / can boast
that my husband has gone to war and
that he will kill a terrible number Of
the enemy. Are you through with your
dinner? If so, will help you pack"
Eyes, I've got to pack" said Mr..
Bowser, but he was rather slow about
1t. Indeed, he did not get up from the
table for about five minutes, and then
he did not rush upstairs.
"About my writing your" said Mr..
Bowser, as he scratched his head. "Of
course, l want to write you as often
rs can, but you mustn't expect let
ter every day."
"Oh, no, no, no. If you write me
once in two weeks, / shall try and be
patient about II. You will be In bat
tie every day, probably, and, of course,
you won't have MUCH time to write.
Tell me In every letter how many Of
the enemy you have killed that day.
Now you can be Off as soon as you
like"
"But I was going to say something
important, and 1t has gone out Of my
mind"
"Never mind. 1t will probably come
back to you after your first battle, and
you can write 1t. You have only lit
tie time to get to the depot. / wouldn't
have you miss the train for any
thing"
Bowser was not enthusiastic. He
followed Mrs. Bowser downstairs mad
gave her formal kiss. and picked up
the suitcase and walked down to the
gate. When he reached the corner.
he left his suitcase against tele-
graph pole and returned. to the house.
Mrs. Bowser was still on the front
steps. and she hailed him with:
you will miss your train II you
don't walk faster than that, What
brought you back?"
Say. did you put In a couple of
clean handkerchiefs2" he asked.
II don't think did, but will run
right up and get two or three for you.
They say that men In battle perspire

hat II don't wish was going with
you! have got kidney trouble or I'd
have enlisted long ago. Well, good
by, old man. If you never return we
will hold you in memory as gallant
man."
Mr.. Bowser's butcher came running
over, as he stood there, to say
"Mr. Bowser, are you going to WARP
eyes"
There Is a little bill of fifty cents
against you, but, If you are killed,
shall not ask Mrs. Bowser for It,
like brave men and you are certainly
mighty brave"
Mr.. Bowser had thoughts as he
leaned against that fence. He thought
of Mrs. Bowser and the cat. He
thought of the good dinners he was
getting every week. He thought Of
the grave. He thought Of having his
two short legs carried off by cannon
ball. Slowly-very slowly-he as
sumed an erect position. Slowly
very slowly-he walked down to the
corner, from where he could see his
front steps. Mrs. Bowser was not out
there. Slowly-very slowly-he walked
down to his gate and entered. He
heard Mrs. BOwser singing, and the
cook laughing. while the cat was in the
back yard looking for trouble. Mrs.
Bowser heard his step, and called out !:
as that you, Mr.. Bowser?"
Yes"
II was expecting you back. Take
your things right upstairs and put
them back in your dresser"
And Mr.. Bowser went upstairs with
his suitcase knocking against his leg
ut every step and climbed up into the
garnet, and sat down on an old trunk,
and thought and thought and thought.
1t was eight o'clock at night and the
whippoOrwill was telling its lonesome
tale when the warrior came softly
downstairs and lighted his cigar and
took the seat he had always occupied
in peaceful days. and Mrs. Bowser-
good woman that she was, never spoke
of war during the whole evening.

In an awful way and. Of course, You
want handkerchiefs."
Mr.. Bowser sat down on the steps
and, when she had brought the hand
kerchiefs,a he seemed In no hurry
about going. The cat came up to him
and he stroked her back In un affec
tionate way and said: ~
''Of course l must uphold the honor
Of my country, but | do love you and
the cat. She seems to realize that l
AIN going away to be fodder for gun
powder"
"Yes, you may be killed." replied
Mrs. Bowser, "but other men will be
killed, too. 1t isn't so very dreadful
to be war widow" a
Mr.. Bowser stood up. He looked all
around He looked up and down. He
hated to go, but his country called
him. He shook hands with Mrs. Bow
ser, gave her another kiss and was off.
He went up to the corner again and re-
covered his suitcase and went march
ing. He marched about so feet and
then came to halt and leaned against
the fence. Half dozen men who
knew him came along and stopped and
asked him If he was going on Jour-
ney, and his reply to each was:
II have started for the war;"
And their exclamation In each case
was:
"Good for you. old mani You are
the stuff. l have been expecting to
see you go for the last year. Let
yourself loose when you get there.
Remember Lexington mad Bunker Hill.
Don't let your heart have any pity.
