When Comp’ny Comes.
! Sometimes my sister Mabel, who’s
GrownUip, looks almost like a fright.
: She wears a pair of rna’s old shoes
Because her own are always tight.
She does her hair up in a knot
No bigger than a chicken’-* egg
: And doesn’t call it “limb” when what
She means is nothing but a leg.
But, 'im-mun-nee. you ought to see
How she can change! She’s pretty
near
As sweet as any girl could be
When comp’ny’s here.
Sometimes when ma is feelin’ glum
And her and me have had a spat
She slaps my ears and makes things
hum
And says that I’m a little brat.
One day she told me to my face
I’d drive her ravin’ crazy yet
And chased me all around the place
Because a pitcher got upset.
But, gee, how lovely she can be!
It’s “Willie, pet, ;ind “Willie, dear,”
And not a pincn or slap for me—
When comp’ny’s here.
Pa often growls about the way
The meat is cooked and kick's because
He has so many bills to pay,
And when the coffee’s cold he jaws,
And if he has to hunt his socks
Or some one’s used his brush or comb
It’s horrible the way he knocks
And darkens our once happy home.
But, jim-mun-nee, you ougnt to see
How quick his grouches disappear
And how dee-lightful he can be.
When comp’ny’s here.
I s’pose some time I 11 have to die,
Because a 1 people must, they say,
And have a home up in the sky
And get a golden harp to play.
There won’t be no cold coffee then,
And Mabel’s shoes won’t hurt her feet,
And even in the mornings, when
She has no switch on, she’ll be sweet.
Oh, gee, bow long it seems to me
“Forever” is! But I won’t care,
Because there’ll always probably
Be comp’ny there.

The Thrice-a- Week World, now that a
[ great Presidential campaign is foreshad
owed, hopes to be a better paper than it
| has ever been before, and it lias made its
arrangements accordingly Its news ser-
I vice covers the entire globe, and it reports
everything fully, promptly and accurately,
i It is the only newspaper, not a daily,
which is as good as a daily, and which
I will keep you as completely' informed of
| what is happening throughout the world.
The Thnce-a-Week World is fair in its
I political reports. You can net the truth
| from its columns, whether you are Repub
j iican or Democrat, and that is what you
j want.
I A special feature of the Thrice-a-Week
j World has always been its serial Action.
It publishes no"els by the best authors in
j the world, novels which in book form sell
for 1.50 apiece, and its high standard in
this respect, will be maintained in tiie
future as in the past.

‘‘Georgia Tech” is Doing Fine
Work.
The Georgia School of Tech
i nology, located at Atlanta, opens
j this session with the brightest
prospects of any year in the
'school’s history, a fact of which
j the whole south should be proud.
The interests of this great school
i are identical with the interests of
industry throughout every State.
‘ ‘The Georgia Tech” is peculiar
ly fitted as a training institute
for the young men, who are to
captain the great industrial en
terprises of the south What bet
ter site for such a school than in
the neighborhood of great factor
ies and engineering works, such
as are in operation at Atlanta, the
most* prosperous and most pro
gressive city in the Southland.
The Georgia School of Tech- 1
nology has been pecubarly fortu
nate in the men who have always i
composed its corps of instructors.
Broad-minded scholars, splendid
ly equipped by nature and expe
rience for their task, they have,
at all times, thrown their energiesl
into the school’s work, enthusias
tically, completely. The result
is a high standerd of thorough
ness, a faithful daily devotion to
a lofty idea, which makes of the
graduate a finished high-grade
engineer, whose services are hid
for on all sides, whose brain and
skill are in demand. Such a
school is the Georgia Tech pre
eminent in the South, and on a
parity in every way with the
leading Technological schools of
the country.
This fact could have no more
striking and forceful illustration
than the history of the members
of the last “Georgia Tech” class.
Before graduation every member
of that class found a lucrative
position. Any man with half an
eye appreciates what a demand
there must he for a skilled tech
nical man in a section where in
dustrial growth Is so rapid and
extensive as that in the South
| to-day, and the marvelous South
ern development, is still in swad

A Railroad Man’s Prayer.
An old railroad employe was
converted at a meeting recently
and was asked to lead in prayer.
He hesitated a moment—then
with trembling, but clear, re
sounding voice he said revently:
“0, Lord, now that I have flag
god Thee, lift up my feet from
the rough road of life and plant
them safely on the deck of the
train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence
and the couplings in the train
with the strong link of love; and
let my hand light he the Bible.
And Heavenly Father, keep all
switches closed that lead off on
the sidings especially those with
a blind end. O Lord, if it he Thy
pleasure, have every semaphore
block along the line show white
lights of hope that 1 may make
the run of life without stopping.
And Lord give us the Ten Com
mandments for the schedule; and
when I have finished the run on
schedule time, and pulled into
the great station of death, may
the Superintendent of the Uni
verse say: Well done, thou good
and faithful servant, come and
sign the pay roll and receive your
check for eternal happiness.
its gigantic maturity no prophet
would dare foretell. The whole
world needs the engineer, and no
section needs him as do the South
ern States. In this section, last
year, 6,000 new industrial enter
prises were launched and there
were only 4,000 technical students
in all the Southern schools and
colleges combined.
For every technical graduate
supplied by the South, there
were fifteen imported into the
section from the North and West.
The South’s interest in the
“Georgia Tech” is too apparent
to need discussion. And D xie
may well take pride in the pres
tige which this great school has
attained, and take pleasure in
the thought that no effort or
expense will be spared to main
tain that prestige and to increase
the usefulness of this splendid
practical institution.
