and I pitied his poor old mother.”
A SUITABLE TITLE.

HAD BEEN BOTH.
A clergyman who advertised for an
organist received this reply:
Dear Sir: I notice you have a va
cancy for an organist and music teacher,
either lady or gentleman. Having been
both for several years I beg to apply for
the position.
I’LL BE ALL SMILES
TONIGHT, LOVE.
I’ll deck my brow with roses,
The loved one may be there,
The gems that others game me
“Will shine within my hair;
And even those who know me
Will think my heart is light,
Though my heart will break tomorrow
I’ll be all smiles tonight!
Chorus:
I’ll be all smiles tonight, love,
I’ll be all smiles tonight,
Though my heart will break tomorrow
I’ll be all smiles tonight 1
And when the room he entered,
The bride upon his arm,
I stood and gazed upon him
As if he were a charm.
So once ho smiled upon her,
So once he smiled upon me,
He knew not what I’ve suffered,
He found no change in me.
And when the dance commences,
Oh, how I will rejoice!
I’ll sing the songs he taught me
When flatterers came around me
When uatters come around me
They will think my heart is light,
Though my heart will break tomorrow
I’ll be ali smiles tonight.
And when the dance is over,
And all have gone to rest,
I’ll thing of him, dear mother,
The one that I love best.
He once did love, believe me,
But now he's cold and strange,
He sought not to deceive me,
False friends havo wrought this change.
THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.
The fact that corporal punishment is
discouraged in the public schools of Chi
cago is what led Bobby’s teacher to ad
dress this note to the boy’s mother.
Dear Madam:—I regret very much to
have to tell you that your son, Robert,
idles away his time, is disobedient, quar
relsome, and disturbs the pupils who are
trying to study their lessons. He needs
a good whipping and I strongly recom
mend that you give him one.
Yours truly,
Miss Blank.
To this Bobby’s mother responded as
follows:
Dear Miss Blank:—Lick him your
self. I ain’t mad at him.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Dash.
THE NEW WOMAN.
“Oh, mother, may I go out to vote!”
“Oh, yes, my darling Ruth, dear;
Wear your best hat and your ponyskin

But don’t go near the booth, dear.”

A. M. BEATTY.
General Manager Postal Tele
graph Co.—Popular Fraternal-
ist—A Great Church Worker,
and a Former Member of the
Fourth Estate.
Mr. A. M. Beatty is the genial manager
of the Postal Telegraph Company in At
lanta, which is soon to move into hand
some new quarters in the Grant Building.
Mr. Beatty is a fine, up-standing fellow,
built like his ancestors—Scot Highlanders
—looks like a senator, and is as warm
hearted as a Southern breeze. On the
roll of the Recording Angel, his name
comes just after that of Abou-Ben-
Adhem—a lover of his fellows and a
friend of men.
He landed on the planet at Eaton,
Ohio, July 25, 1865, and, as soon as he
could run around, it was in the uniform
of a messenger boy.
Later on he embarked in newspaper
work and the two loves of his life have

Mgr. Postal Tel. Co.
been and are yet—Telegraphy and Print
ing.
He came to Atlanta in 1905 as manager
of the Postal Telegraph Company, and
the company here owes its large and
rapidly growing business in no small
measure to the fine business ability and
personal popularity of its genial man
ager.
When the day’s work is done he goes
to heaven—which is an ideal little home
out on Copenhill. He is somewhat of a
joiner, belonging to Piedmont Masonic
Lodge, Ad Men’s Club, Chamber of Com
merce, Ohio Society of Georgia, Postal
Telegraph Club of Atlanta, and is a
valued member of the First Christian
church, in which he holds the office of
publicity man, and president of “The
Auditorium Class”—the largest single
Bible class in Atlanta, and which has
attained to the enviable position of im
portance through the unique and attrac
tive advertising of Mr. Beatty.
