in America that such things are done.”
“Well, If the Caruso affair Is taken
into consideration it is only in America
that such things happen, nnd mighty
lucky It Is, too, for the rest of tho
world. The attitude of tho New York

excusable. •

gan by giving a false name, a false gd

when summoned. On thh other hand
was Caruso, whose prominent position
made It Impossible for him to escape
tho publicity which,tills affair was giv
en. How was Caruso treated? They
started out by dragging him through
the mud. They overwhelmed him with
false und Calumnious accusations—
they created around him a wretched
scandal. And what for? Because they

Great enthusiasm has been shewn by

“HOW BETSY AND I MADE UP,
Ell
By WILL CARLETON.
(Following tho publication, by re
quest, In Thursday's Georgian of "Bet
sy and I Are Out.” came a requeet for
Mr. Carleton'e very satisfying sequel to
his popular poem. The Georgian cheer
fully compile# and gives herewith "How
Betsy and I Made Up.") „
Give me your hand. Mr. Lawyer; how
do you do today?
You drew up that agreement—I s’pose
you want your pay:
Don't cut down your figures; make It
an X or a V,
For that ’ero written agreement was
Just the makln' of me.
Golrt' homo that evenin'. I tell you, I
was blue,
Thlnkln’ of all my troubles, and what I
was goln’ to do;
And, If my bosses hadn't been the
steadiest team alive.
They'd've tipp'd tile over, certain, for I
couldn’t see where to drive.
No—for I was laborin’ under a heavy
lo® 1 *! . ...
No—for t was traveltn an entirely dif
ferent road;
For I was a-tracln’ over the path of our
lives og'in,
And secln' whero -we miss'd the way
and where we might have been.
And many a corner we'd turned that
Just to a quarrel led.
When I ought to've held my temper
and driven straight ahead.
And the more 1 thought It over the
more these memories came.
And the more I struck the opinion that
I was the most to blame.
And tilings I had long forgotten kept
rlsin’ In my tnlnd.
Of little matters betwixt us, where
Betsy was good and kind;
And these things they flash’d all
through me, us you know things
sometimes will.
When a feller's alone In the darkness
and everything is still.
But,’’ says I. "we’re too far along to
take another track.
And when I put my hand to the plow
» I do not oft turn back:
And taln't nn uncommon thing now for
couples to smash In two,"
And so I set nty teeth together and
vowed J’d see It through.
When I came in sight o' the house
'twus uome'al In the night.
And Just us 1 turn'd a. hill-top, I see
the kitchen light;
Which often a han'some pleturi to a
hungry person makes.
But It don't interest a feller much that’s
goln' to pull up stakes.
And when I went in the house the ta
ble was set for me—
As good a supper’s t ever saw, or ever
want to see;
And I cramm’d the agreement down In
mv pocket as well as I could,
And fell to eatln’ my victuals, which
somehow didn't taste good.
And Betsy, she pretended to look about
the house.
But she watch'd my side coat pocket
like a cat would watch a mouse;
And then she v ent to foolin' a little
with her cup.
And Intently leadin' a newspaper, a-
hnblln' It wrone side up.
And when I’d done my supper I draw’d
the agreement out.
An'- give It to her without a word, for
she knnw'd what 'twas about;
And then I humm'd a little tune, but
now and then a note
Wan bu'sted by some animal that
hopp'd up In my throat.
Then Betsy she got her spebks from off
the mantel-shelf,
And read the article over quite softly
to herself;
Read it hy little and little, for her eyes
Is genin' old, .
And lswyers' writing ain't no’ print, es.
peclally when It's cold.
And after she'd read a little she give
my arm a touch.
And kindly said she Was afraid I was
Towin' her too much; •
But when she was through she went
for me, her face a-streamln' with
tours,
And kiss’d nte for the first lime In over
twenty years.
I don’t know what you'll think, sir—I
didn't come to Inquire—
But I pick'd up that agreement und
. stuff'd It In the fire;
And 1 told her we'd bury the hatchet
alongside of the cow,
And wo struck an agreement never to
have another row.
And I told her In the future I wouldn't
peak cross or rash.
If half the crockery in the house was
broken all to smash;
And she said In regard to Heaven, we'd
try and learn Its worth
By startin' a branch establishment and
runnin’ It here on Barth.
And so we sat a-talkln’ three-quarters
of the nlgM,
And open'd our hearts to each other
until they both grew light;
And the days when I was wlnnln* her
away from so many men
Was nothin' to that evenin' I courted
her over again.
Xexf mornln' an ancient virgin took
pains to call on us,
Her lamp all trimmed and a-burnln’
to kindle another fuss;
But, when she went to pryln' and
openin’ of old sores,
My Betsy rose politely and show'd
her out-of-doors.
Since then I don’t deny there's been
a word or two;
But we've got our eyes wide open and
know just what to do;
When one speaks cross the other just
meets It with a laugh, ,
And the first one’s ready to give up
considerable more than half.
Maybe you’ll think me soft, sir, a-talk.
In’ In this style,
But somehow It does me lots of good to
tell It once In a while;
And I do it for a compliment—'tls so
that you can see
That that there written agreement of
yours was Just the milkin' of me.
So make out your bill, Mr. Lawyer;
don't stop short of an X;
Make it more if you want to. for I have
got the checks;
I’m richer than a National Bank, with
all Its treasures told.
For I've got a wife at home now that's
worth her weight In gold.
The names of fully 15,00b colored
male residents of Atlanta will not np-
pear In the new city directory for 1907,
to bo Issued December 17, six days ear
lier than usual.
According to estimates furnished by
Joseph J. Hill, chief compiler nnd one
of the publishers, tho new directory will
show an increase of 8,000 Iq popula
tion over last year. The last directory
gave Atlanta 108,000 people, and the
new one 116,000. Including surround
ing towns and suburbs linked to At
lanta proper by street ear service, the
population Is 152,000.
Mr. Hill, In an Interview, shows tho
prodigious difficulties under which the
compilers of the directory labor. As
stated, he estimates that 15,000 bona
fide negro residents of the city do not
appear In the directory, and It Is im
possible to get them.
Many Dodge Directory.
Tills, however, is not the most start
ling feature of this matter. Mr. Hill
says that hundreds of single men,
clerks and those receiving small sala
ries do not appear In the directory.
"We make heroic efforts to get these
delinquents, but cannot," said Mr. Hill.
"Why do they avoid listing In the di
rectory? It would be safe to soy that
all the negroes and the bulk uf the
young white men do so to escape pay
ing poll taxes. The negro making only
a few dollars a week—many of them
nothing, because they loaf—and the
salaried clerks who make from *35 to
*50 a month, want to avoid this respon
sibility.
"Lot me give you an Instance. One
of our men went in a railroad office
where some 35 young fellows were em
ployed. They gave names, but the so
licitor noticed that they were all very
hilarious over It. When ho had se
cured a name from every man, he took
the list to the chief of the department,
who scanend It, und said only two In
tho lot were genuine.
"We go to boarding houses where
many young men live. We nsk the
landlady for the names of her boarders.
Bhe declines to give them, and when w»
Insist, she tells us that her boarders
have requested her not to do so, and
threaten to leave If sho does do It.
What can we do? There Is no-way to
force people to give names for the dir
rectory."
' Bad Numbering System.
■ Mr. Hill deplores the system of house
numbering employed In Atlanta. He
says that it Is antiquated, confusing
and a serious drawback to the progress
of the city. This needed reform Is
stressed In the foreword of the direc
tory.
Tho new directory will contain about
224 more pages than the last on*. A
new feature wilt be pictures of the gov
ernor, mayor, council members and a
large number of the city officials.
This edition will be larger than that
for BIOS.

Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 8.—An over
amount of confidence In Madame Hud

The story os learned from the police
Is that Peterson had a big deal on In
volving several thousand dollars and
needed the services of the clairvoyant
a* a medium to successfully carry It

that Peterson furnish several thousand
In real money which sho was to wear
around her wnlst In a belt and thus
bring him gool luck and success. Tho
money was furnished and Peterson was
to wult a week for the desired result.
When he . called to get his cash the
Clairvoyant, the real money and the
promised good luck had vanished.
Madame Hudson hod quietly folded
her tent and stole away..
Wanted in San Francisco.
The detectives have learned that the
woman and a male companion left
here Saturday and are believed to be
headed for Cuba. Madame Hudson left
a negro girl In charge of her office with
instructions to keep the place open all
