Intimated their Intention of lending

Great enthusiasm has been shown by
fashionable French society this year
over the chrysanthemum show. A rage
for things Japanese has swept the city
recently, and tho reason of the chrys
anthemum show nuccess Is because the
flower Is Japanese.

day.
The room In which her perform-
ances are given holds a hundred* peo
ple at most, and every night and mati
nee It Is packed with eoclety people
In magnificent gowns, who flock there
to gratify their craving for morbid
sensationalism. Hanako presents
piece III which she Impersonates
mousmee who Is loved by a warrior
who is killed by her brother.
In despair the mousmee commits
suicide by performing harlkarl. She
plunges a long dagger Into herself In
most realistic fashion. Several women
faint at each performance, but the
room Is packed just the earne.
Considerable Indignation reigns In
the American colony over the persistent
manner In which tho United States am
bassador and Mrs. McCormick treat
their fellow countrymen and women
with social contempt. The magnificent
dinners and receptions which are con
tlnually given at the United States em
bassy on the Qua! Debllly hardly ever
Inctudo any Americans among the
guests unless they be the wives of
French noblemen.
Mrs. McCormick has Just given a
most elaborate dinner party at which
the principal guests were Comte Louis
do Turenne, Count do Gontaut Blron,
Comte do Gabrlas and numerous other
titled French men and women. There
were no Americans present except the
wives of the Counts Gantnut, Blron and
Gabrlac.
The mayor of Toulon Is determined
that people shall not show their bore

the dignified calm necessary to the
proper enjoyment of the drama shall
not bo disturbed."
Visitors to the theater are also not
to be allowed to make their complaints

“HOW BETSY AND I MADE UP.”
• HiHIHItMHItHHIlHHHM'HMMHtM
By WILL CARLETON.
(Following the publication, by re
quest, la Thursday’s Georgian of "Bet
■y and I Are Out," came a request for
Mr. Carleton’s very satisfying sequel to
Ills popular poem. The Georgian cheer,
rully compiles and gives herewith "How
Betsy and I Made Up.”)
Give me your hand, Mr. Lafcyer; how
do you do today?
You drew up that agreement—I t’pose
you want your pay:
Don’t rut down your figures: make It
an X of a V,
For that ’ere written agreement was
Just the makln’ of me.
Coin’ home that evenin’, I tell you, I
was blue,
Thlnkln’ of nil my troubles, and what I
was gain’ to do;
And, If my hosses hadn't been the
steadiest team alive.
They’d've tipp’d me over, certain, for I
couldn’t see where to drive.
No—for I was laborin’ under a heavy
load;
No—for I was travolln’ an entirely dlf.
ferent road;
For I was a-tracln’ over the path of our
lives og’ln.
And seeln’ where 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.
the more 1 thought it o-
more these memories came,
And the more I struck the opinion that
I was the most to blame.
And when I’d done my supper I draw’d
the agreement out.
An’ give Tt to her without a word, for
she know’d what ’twas about;
And then I humm'd a little tune, but
now and then a note
Was hu’ated by some animal that
hopp’d up In my throat.
Then Betsy she got her specks from oft
the mantel-shelf,
And read the article over quite softly
to herself;
Read tt by little and little, for her eyes
Is gettln’ old.
And lawyers’ writing ain’t no print, ea.
rtApInllv whan li’a nntrl
And things I had long forgotten kept
rlaln’ in my mind,
Of little matters betwixt us, where
Betsy was good and kind;
And these things they flash'd all
through me, as you know things
sometimes will,

nnd everything is still. f
But," says I. "wo're too far along to
take another track,
And when I put my hand to the plow
I do not oft turn bock;
And tafn't on uncommon thing now for
couples to smash In two,”
And so I set my teeth together and
vowed I'd see It through.
hen I came In sight o’ the house
twas Home'st in the night.
And Just as I turn'd a hill-top, I see
the kitchen light;
blch often a han'snme plctur’ to a
lgry 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—
good a supper’s I ever saw, or ever
want to see;
And I cramm’d the agreement down In
my pocket as well as I could.
And fell to eatln’ my victuals, which
somehow didn’t taste good.
And Brfay, 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 went to foolin’ a little
with her cup,
1 Intently leadin’ a newspaper, a-
holdln’ It wmne -Ide up.
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
’lowin’ hsr too much;
But when she was through she went
for me, her face a-etreamln’ with
tears.
And kiss'd me for the first time In over
twenty years.
I don’t know what you’ll think, sir—I
didn't come to Inquire—
I pick'd up tlmt agreement und
stuff'd It In the fire;
And I told her we'd bury the hatchet
alongside of the cow.
And we struck an agreement never to
have another row.
And I told her In the future I wouldn't
speak cross or rash.
If half the crockery In the house was
broken all to smash;
And she sold 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 eat a-talkln’ three-quarters
of the night,
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.
Next mornln’ an ancient virgin took
pains to call on us.
Her lamp all trimmed and a-bumln'
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 Idugh.
And the first one’s rsady to glra up

TO ESCAPE PAYING
THEIR POLL TAX
Fully 15,000 Negroes and
Thousands of Whites Not
Listed.
The names of fully 16,004 colored
mole residents of Atlanta will not ap
pear In the new city directory fur 1907,
to be Issued December 17, six days ear
lier than usual.
According to estimates furnished by
Joeeph J. Hill, chief compiler and one
of the publishers, the new directory will
show nn Increase of 8,000 In popula
tion over last year. The last dlrectbry
gave Atlanta 108,000 people, und the
new one 116,000. Including surround
ing towns and suburbs linked to At
lanta proper by street car service, the
population Is 152,000.
Mr. Hill, In an Interview, shows the
prodigious difficulties under which the
compilers of tho directory labor,
stated, he estimates that 16,000 bona
fide negro residents of the city do not
appear In the directory, and It Is Im
possible to get them.
Many Dodge Direetory.
This, however. Is not the most start
ling feature of this matter. Mr. Hill
says that, hundreds of single men,
clerks and those receiving smull 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 say that
all the negroes and the bulk of tho
young white men do so to escape pay
ing poll taxes. The negro milking only
a few dollars a week—many of them
nothing, because they loaf—and the
salaried clerks who make from 886 to
$60 a month, want to avoid this respon
sibility.
“Let me give you an Instance. One
of our men went In a railroad office
where aome 86 young fellows were em
ployed. They gave names, but the *o-
Icltor noticed that they were all very
hilarious over It When ho had se
cured a name from every man, he took
the llet to the chief of the department,
who scanend IL und said only two In
the lot were genuine.
"We go to boarding houses where
many young men live. We ask the
landlady for the names of her boarders.
She declines to give thorn, and when we
Insist, she tells us that her boarders
have requested her not to do so, and
threaten to leave If she does do IL
What can we do? There Is no way to
force people to give names for, the di
rectory.”
Bad Numbering 8ystem.
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
tor.
Tho new directory will contain about
224 more pages than the last one. A
new feature will be pictures of the gov
ernor. mayor, oouncll members and
large number of the city officials.
This edition will be larger than that
for 1900.
