coiivraii OF NEGRO SURGEHT Business Men . pf Race ; Find These Meetings of Many Advantages to Them.

A KENTUCKY BARBECUE PROGRAM OF INTEREST AND PRACTICAL VALUE ARRANGED FOR AFFAIR, WHICH WILL BE LARGELY ATTENDED. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 7. The Ninth 9nnual Convention of the National Negro Business League which Is to be held at Louisville, Ky Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20th, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the League at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprises which this League has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the League's constantly Increasing -membership. Aside from the program proper an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged, and the Annual Banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville City Council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, 65 miles from Louisville, will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world. BUSINESS LEAGUE AT Has Been Seeking to Revise Consular Service. Denver, Aug. 7. Among the national organizations to be represented at the Denver session of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress will be the Business League of America. This organisation, together with the TransMississippi Commercial Congress, has been persistently at work for a long time to inaugurate a reform in the consular service and three years ago succeeded in passing a bill through the National Congress making consular appointments contingent only upon merit, and not as a reward for political service. This bill was found defective, and President Roosevelt, by executive order, made operative its provisions. At the Denver session of the Congress Secretary Burnham, of Chicago, will urge the strongest kind of a recommendation that the provis ions of Mr. Roosevelt's executive order be enacted into laws. WHEAT HARVEST IS . MUCH TO COUNTRY Means Employment of Many Men in Fields. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 7. The wheat harvest is on, and it is estimated that more than 63,000,000 bushels will have been garnered before the last of the 2,300 cutting and threshing machines finish their task. The gathering of the crop in the wheat belts in eastern Washington and Oregon, north and central Idaho and western Montana, means employment of 65,000 men who will receive between $6,000,000 and $6,300,000 in wages during the harvest season, while the value of the crop is placed at from $57,000,000 to $60,000,000.

The Harrington The village magnate A young hoodlum On the road to tchool The first woman Disgrace and a flirt' will An unfortunate coincidence In trouble again May lose faith The end of Jasonvill IHscharged A loan Charity The positive young lady hopes 1 shall start right The lake front once more I preach myself a good sermon. mHE Harringtons were pretty well known in Greene county, lnd. Father moved to Jasonville Just after the war. when the place was not much more than a crossroads with a prospect of a railroad some time. Ours was the first brick house, built after the kind he and mother used to know back in York state. And he set up the largest general store in that district and made money. Then be lost most of it when the oil boom first came. Mother and he set great store by education 4f father hadn't gone to the -war be wouldn't have been keeping a country store and they helped start the first township high school in ouz part of the state. And he sent Will, my older brother, and me to the Methedist school at Eureka, which was the Itest he could do for us. There wasn't much learning to be had in Eureka "college." however. The two or three old preachers and women who composed the faculty were too busy trying to keep the boys from playing cards and smoking or chewing to teach us much. Perhaps I was a bit of a hoodlum as boy anyway. The trouble started with the judge Judge Sorrell. He wag a local light, who held a mortgage oc most everything in tewn. including our store after father went into oil We boys had always heard at home how bard and mean the Judge wa and dishonest, too, for in some of th cil deals be had tricked folks out ol their property. It wasn't so strange then, that we youngsters took liberties with the Judge's belongings that tht older folks did not dare to. The judge'f fine stock used to come in from tht field done up. raced to death, and tru Orchard by the creek just out of town, which had belonged to us ence, rarely brought a good crop to maturity. We made ourselves believe that the judge didn't really own it and treated him as a trespasser. So one night when the judge made a hasty visit to our house after one of the "raids" my father found me in bed with a wet suit of clothes on. which I had been forced to sacrifice in the creek. The end of that lark was that father had to pay a good sum for my private interpretation of the laws of property, and I spent the rest of the summer on a farm doing a man's work. Perhaps if it hadn't been for that ducking in the river and what followed I might have come out just a plain thief. While I was sweating on that farm I saw the folly of running against common notions about property. 1 came to the conclusion that if I wanted what my neighbor considered to be his I must get the law to do the business for me. For the first time it dawned on me how wonderful is that system which shuts up one man in jail for taking a few dollars' worth of truck that doesn't belong to him and honors the man who steals his millions if he robs in the legal way! Yes, the old judge knocked some good worldly sense into me. (Nevertheless old Sorrell needn't have hounded me after I came back to Jason ville and carried his malice to the point of&eesing me from getting a job when I was hoping to make a fair start se that I could ask May Radge to marry me. But all that was some time later.) May was one of that handful of young women who In those days stood being sneered at for wanting to go to college with their brothers. We were In the same classes at Eureka two years before I noticed her much.

Pennsylvania Railroads Pension System

It was with a view to keeping intact its force of employes, and to securing from them the most efficient service, that the Pennsylvania railroad in 1900 established a system of pensions for its employes under which every man in the company's service is retired when he reaches the age of 70 years. If he is physically disabled and has been in the company's service for 35 years, he may be retired after attaining 65 years of age. In an article in McClure's Magazine for December, 1908, Mr. Burton J. Hendrick states that the Pennsylvania railroad's pension system "might fairly be described as the most enlightened now in force." The Pennsylvania railroad employs men with the expectation that they will spend their lives in its service. It has in force a system of civil service under which men in every kind of work are advanced as opportunity offers. The company does not employ a man unless he gives evidence of ability to advance to positions of responsibility, and it is this rule of relying upon its own ranks to supply its officers that is responsible for the wonderful esprit de corps that prevades the entire organization of the Pennsylvania railroad. The company's system of civil service trains its men. and these men are imbued with a loyalty worth millions of dollars a year to the railroad. It was to further Intensify this loyalty which makes for efficiency more than anything else that the company - inaugurated its pension system, under which every man in the service, from a track laborer to the president, is entitled to retire at the age of seventy years. This rale holds good, no mat

raottnuinr She was little and pale and delicate, with serious, cold gray eyes and a mouth that was always laughing at you. I can see today the very spot where she stood when I first spoke to her. Good weather I used to drive over from father's to Eureka, and one spring morning I happened to drive by the Rudge farm en my way to school Instead of taking the pike, which was shorter. There was a long level stretch of road straightaway between two pieces of green meadow, and there ahead of me I saw the girl, walking steadily, looking neither to the right nor to the left. I slewed up with the idea that she might give me a nod or a word. But she kept her pace as though she were thinking of things too far oft to notice a horse and buggy on the road. Somehow I wanted to make her speak. Pretty soon I said: "Won't you ride to school with me. Miss May?" Then she turned her head, not the least flustered like other girls, and looked roe square in the eye for a min ute. I knew she was wondering what made me speak to her then, for the boys at school never took notice of the college girls. But she got into the buggy and sat prim and solemn by my side. We jogged along between the meadows, which were bright with flowers and the soft green grass of spring. The big timber along the roadside and between the pasture lands had just leaved out. and the long branches hung daintily in the misty morning air. All of a sudden I felt mighty happy to be there with her. I think her first words were, "Do you come this way often?" "Perhaps I shall be coming this way oftener now," I made bold to answer. Her Hps trembled in a little ironical smile, and be least bit of red sprang into her white face. I said, "It isn't as short as the pike, but it is a pret- ' tier road." The smile deepened, and I had it on my tongue to add, "I shall be coming this way every morning If you will ride with me." But I was afraid of that smiling mouth. (Of course I didn't tell his honor all i this, but I add it now, together with . other matters that concern me and belong here. It will help to explain what happened later.) So that fine spring morning, when I was seventeen, I first took note of what a woman is. The rest of that year I used to drive the prim little girl back and forth between her father's farm and school. I was no scholar like her, and she never went about with the other girls to parties. She wnsn't in the least free and easy with the boys. In those days most girls didn't think much of a fellow who wouldn't take his chances to kiss them when he could. Evenings, when we called, we used to pull the parlor door to and sit holding hands with the young woman of our admiration. And no barm ever came of it that I know. Most of those girls made good wives when the time came, for all they were easy and tender and ready to make love in the days of their youth. But once when I tried to put my arm about May Kudge as we were driving along the lonely road she turned and looked at me out of those cold gray eyes. Her mouth rippled in that liaie ironical way, as if she were laughing down in her mind. She never said a word or pulled away from me, but I didn't care to go on. May gave me ambition, and she made me want to be steady and good, though she never said anything about it But now and then I would break away and get myself into some fool scrape. Such was the time when I came back from a Terre Haute party pretty light headed and went with some others to wake up the old Methodist president of the college. I don't remember what happened then, but the next morning at chapel the old boy let loose on "wine and wantoning" and called, me bjr name. I knew that I had ter how strong or alert a man may be at the age of seventy, and it is the inflexibility of the rule that makes it reasonably certain that the Pennsylvania railroad will always be managed by men at their greatest period of efficiency. All employes of the Pennsylvania retire on relatively the same terms. For every year of service rendered the company, they are awarded one percent of their average salary for the ten years immediately preceding retirements In other words, if a man serves the Pennsylvania railroad for fifty years and in, the last ten years before retirement receives an average salary of $5,000, he would receive 50 per cent of $5,000, or $2,500 every year until his death. For the first year of its operation, the company appropriated $390,000 for its pension department In 1906, this appropriation had risen to $600,000. Up to the present, for the nine years of the operation of its pension system, the company has paid out for this purpose $3,44573.77. These figures indicate in a striking manner the experience of the Pennsylvania railroad with the pension idea, and the belief of the officers of the company in its value. More than 2.000 employes of the Pennsylvania railroad received pension allowances during the year 1908, the payments of them amounting to $541,101.06. A total of 367 employes were retired on pensions, while 211 men', who had been on the pension list died. The exact number of employes receiving pensions on January 1, 1909, was 2,176. This was greater by 156 than the number on January 1.1908. - k

Ootie for myself at Eureka, and I was pretty mad to be sirJgled out for reprobation from all the offenders. I got up from my seat and walked out. while the school stared. As X was getting my horse from the place where I kept It May Radge came Into the yard. "You aren't going this way?" she demanded quickly. "I don't see as there's much use waiting for bouquets." "You aren't going without apologizing!" she flashed out ' To tell the truth, that had never occurred to me. It seemed she cared less for the disgrace than for the way I took it. So in the end. before I left town. I drove up to the president's house, apologized and got my dismisssi in due form and was told I should go to hell unless I was converted straightway. Then May drove down the street with me in face of the whole school, who contrived to be there to see my departure. "I guess this ends my education and being a lawyer and all that" I said gloomily as we drew near the Rudge farm. "Dad will never forgive this. He thinks rum is the best road to bell, the same as the old preacher. He won't sell a glass of cider in the store." "There are other kinds of work," she answered. "You can show them Just the same you know what's right" "But you'll never marry a man who Isn't educated," I said boldly. "I'll never marry a man who hasn't principles and religion." she replied without a blush. "So I must be good and pious as well as educated?" "You mast be a man" and her lips curved ironically "and now yon are just a boy." But I held her hand when I helped her from the buggy, and I believe she would have let me kiss her had I wanted to then. Father and mother took my expul

sion from school very hard, as I expected. Father especially who had begun to brag somewhat at the store about my being a lawyer and beating the judge out was so bitter that I told him if he would give me $30 I would go off somewhere and never trouble him again. "You ask me to give you $30 to go to hell with!" he shouted out "Put me in the store, then, and let me earn it. Give me the same money you give Will." But father didn't want me around the 6tore for folks to see. So I had to go out to a farm once more, to a place that father was working on shares with a Swede. I spent the better part of two years on that farm, living with the old Swede and earning mighty little but my keep, for father gave me a dollar now and then, but no regular wages. I could get sight of May only on a Sunday. She was teaching her first school in another county. Father and Mother Rudge bad never liked me. They looked higher for May than to marry a poor farm band who had a bad name in the town. My brother Will, who was a quiet churchgoing fellow, had learned his way to the Rudge place by this time, and the old people favored him. After awhile I beard of a chance in a surveyor's office at Terre Haute, but old Sorrell. who bad more business than any ten men in that part of the country, met the surveyor on the train, and when I reached the office there wasn't any job for me. That night when I got back from Terre Haute 1 told my folks that I was going to Chicago. The next day I asked my father again for some money. , Mother answered for him: "Will don't ask us for money. It won't be fair to him." "So he's to have the store and my girl, too?" I said bitterly. "May Rudge isn't the girl to parry a young man who's wild." "I'll find that out for myself!" Always having had a pretty fair opinion of myself. I found it bard to be patient and earn the good will by my own deserts. So I said rather foolishly to father: "Will you give me a few dollars to start me with? I have earned it, all right, and I am asking you for the last time." It was a kind of threat and 1 am sorry enough for it now. I suspect he hadn't the money, for things were going badly with him. He answered pretty warmly, that I should wait a long time before be gave me another dollar to throw away. I turned on my heel without a word to him or mother and went out of the house with the resolve not to return. But before I left Jason ville to make my plunge into the world I would see May Rudge. I wanted to say to her: "Which will you have? Choose now!" So I turned about and started for the Rudge farm, which was about a mile from the town, beyond the old place on the creek that used to belong to us. Judge Sorrell had put up a large new barn on the place, where he kept some fine blooded stock that he had been at considerable expense to import I had never been inside the barn, and as I passed it that afternoon it came into my mind for no particular reason to turn in at the judge's farm and go by the new building. Maybe I thought the old judge would be around somewhere and 1 should have the chance before I left Jasonville to tell him what I thought of his dirty, sneaking ways. But there was no one In the big barn apparently or anywhere on the place, and after looking about for a little I went on to May's. I came up to the Rudge farm from the back, having taken a cut across the fields. As I drew near the house I saw Will and May sitting under an apple tree talking. I walked on slowly, my anger somehow rising against them both. There was nothing wrong in their being there nothing at all. but I was ready to fire at the first sign. By the looks of it mother was right; they were already sweethearts. Will seemed to have something very earnest to say to May. He took hold of one of her hands, and she didn't draw it away at once. There wasa't anything more to keep me In Jasonville. X kept right on up the country road without much notion of where I was going to. too hot and angry to think about any thins; but those two under the appie tree. I had net gone far before I heard behind me a great rushing noise, like the suddea sweep ef a tornado and then a fallowing roar. I looked up across the fields, and there was the judge's fine new barn one mass of red flame and black smoke. It 3 raartag ee-jfcat I ossS hear it

pnnmy a quarter or a mile away. TSatu rally 1 started to rum for the fire and ran hard all the way across the fields. By the time I got there seme men from town had arrived and were rushing around crarlly. ' But they hadn't got out the live stock, and there was no chance now to save a hen. The Judge drove up presently, and we all stood around and stared st the fire. After a time I began to think it was time for me to move on if I was to get to any place that night I slipped off and started up the road once more. I hadn't gone far. however, before I was overtaken by a buggy In which was one of the men who had been at the fire. "Where be yer goln'. Van?" he asked peremptorily. "I don't know as I am called on to tell you. Sana." I answered back. "Yes. you be." he said more kindly. T guess you'll have to Jump right In here anyways and ride back with me. The judge wants to ask you a few questions about this here fire." "I don't answer any of the Judge's questions." I replied sharply enough, not yet seeing what the man was after. But he told me bluntly enough that I was suspected of setting fire to the barn and drove me back to the town, where I stayed in the sheriffs custody until my uncle came late that night and bailed me out Will was with him. Father didn't want me to come home, so Will let me understand. Neither he nor my uncle thought I was Innocent but they hoped that there might not be enough evidence to convict me. Some one on the creek road had seen me going past the barn a little time before the fire was discovered, and that was the only ground for suspecting me. The next morning I got my uncle (who wouldn't trust me out of his sight) to drive me over to the Rudge place. He sat In the team while I

went up to the house and knocked. I was feeling pretty desperate in' my mind, but if May would only believe my story I shouldn't care about the others. She would understand quick enough why I never appeared at the farm the day before. Old man Rudge came to the door, and when he saw me he drew back and asked me what my business was. "I want to see May." I said. "I guess she don't want much to see you." "I must see her." The sound of our voices brought Mrs. Rudge from the kitchen. "Mother," old Rudge said, "Van wants to see May." "Well, Cyrus, it won't do any barm, I guess." When May came to the door, she waited for me to speak. "I want to tell you, May," I said slowly, "that I didn't have any hand in burning the judge's barn." "I don't want to believe yon did," she said. "But you do, all the same!" I cried sharply. "Eery one says you did. Van," she answered doubtfully. "So you think I could do a mean, sneaky thing like that?" I replied hotly and added bitterly: "And then not have sense enough to get out of the way! Well. I know what this means. You and Will have put your heads together. You're welcome to him!" "You've no reason to Bay such things. Van!" she exclaimed. "There ain't no use in you talking with my girl, Harrington," put in Rudge, who had come back to the door. "And I don't want you coming here any more." "How about that. May?" I asked. "Do you tell me to go?" Her lips trembled, and she looked at me more kindly. Terhaps in another moment she would have answered and not failed me. But. hot and beady as I was by nature and smarting from all that had happened. I wanted a ready answer. I would not plead for myself. "So you won't take my word for It?" 1 said, turning away. "The word of a drunkard and a good-for-nothing!" the old man fired after me. "Oh. father, don't!" 1 heard May say. Then perhaps she called my name. But I was at the gate and too proud to turn back. I was discharged the next week. Although there was nothing against me except the fact that I had been seen about the barn previous to the fire and the well known enmity between me and the judge, it would have gone hard with me had it not been for the fact that in the ruins of the burned barn they found the remains of an old farm hand, who had probably wandered in there while drunk and set the place on fire with his pipe. When I was released my uncle said the folks were ready to have me back home, but without a word I started north on the county road In the direction of the great city. "So," said his honor when I had finished my story in the dingy chamber of the police court "you want me to believe that you really had no band In firing that barn any more than you took this lady's purse? But be smiled to himself at his own penetration, I suppose, and when we were back In the courtroom that dreaded sentence fell from his lips like a shot "Officer, the prisoner la discharged:" "I knew be was Innocent!" the young lady exclaimed the next Instant "But judge, where Is the purse and my friend Worden's fur coat?" the old gentleman protested. "You don't see them about him. do you, doctor?" the Judge Inquired blandly. Then he turned to me, "Edward, I think that you have told me an honest story. I hope so." He took a coin from his pocket "Here's a dollar, my boy. Buy a ticket for as far as this will take yon and walk the rest of the way home." "I guess I have come to Chicago to stay." I answered. "They aren't breaking their hearts over losing me down home." "Well, my son, as you think best. In this glorious republic it Is every man's first privilege to take his own road to helL But at any rate, get a good dinner to start on. We don't serve first class meals here." "Ill return this as soon aa X cas." I said, picking up the coin. "The sooner the better, and the less we see of each other In the future the better, ebr I grinned and started for the door through which I bad been brought Into covet. abut aa.oOfier peiate to uotfter

She called to me: "ster. mister, what will you do now ?" "Get something to eat first and then look for another purse perhaps," X replied. She blushed very prettily. "I am sorry I accused you. but you were looklug at me so bard Just then I thought 1 want you to take this!" She tried to give me a bill rolled up In a little wad. "No. thanks." I said, moving off. "But you may need- it Every one says it's hard to find work. "Well. I don't take money from a woman." "Oh!" She blushed again. Then she ran to the old gentleman, who was talking to the Judge, and got from him a little black memorandum book. "You see. my cards were all in the purse. But there!" she said, writing down her name and address on the first page. "You will know now where to come in case you need help or advice." "Thank you." I replied, taking the book. "I do so want to help you to start right and become a good man, she said timidly. "Won't you try to show your friends that they were mistaken in youT' She turned her eyes at me appeallngly as if she were asking It as a favor to her. I felt foolish and began to laugh, but stopped, for she looked hurt. "I guess, miss. It don't work quite that way. Of course I mean to start fresh, but I shan't do It even for your sake. All the same, when you see me next it won't be in a police station. "That's right!" she exclaimed, beaming at me with her round blue eyes. "I should like to feel that I hadn't hurt you made you worse." "Oh. you ueedn't worry about that miss. I guess I'm not much worse off for a night in the police station." She held out her hand and I took It "Sarah. Sarah!" the old gentleman called as we were shaking bands. He seemed rather shocked, but the judge looked up at us and smiled quizzically. Outside it was a warm, pleasant day. The wind was blowing merrily through the dirty street toward the blue lake. For the moment I did not worry over what was to come next The first thing I did was to get a good meaL - After that refreshment I sauntered forth in the direction of the lake front the most homelike place I could think of. The roar of the city ran through my head like the clatter of a mill. I seemed to be just a feeble atom of waste In a great stream of life flowing around me. When I reached the desolate strip of weeds and sand between the avenue and the railroad the first relay of bums was beginning to round up for the night The sight of their tough faces filled me with a new disgust. I turned back to the busy avenue, where men and women were driving to and fro with plenty to do and think, and then and there I turned oa myself and gave myself a good cussing. Here I was more than twenty and just a plain fool and had been ever since I coujd remember. Whea I had rid myself of several layers of conceit It began to dawn on me that this was a world where one bad to step lively If be wasn't to join the ranks of the bums back there In the sand. That was the most valuable lot of thinking I ever did in my life. It took the sorehead feeling of wronged genius out of me for good and all. Pretty soon I straightened my back and started for the city to find somewhere a bite of food and a roof to cover my head. And afterward there would be time to think of conquering the world!
