Second Baptist Church Mourns the Loss of Its Pastor Dr. Joseph Lowell McCoy PHONE MAIN 1594 Volume 28 The loss that comes by death must find relief in Christian consolation and hope. 一 Wrapped in the robes of ministerial dignity and honor, embalmed in the bitterness of our tears, the body of Dr. J. L. McCoy has been laid to rest in Rosedale cemetery. The day was a beautiful one, and one hour after the sun had crossed its meridian height, the soul of our venerable and distinguished pastor took its flight. Notwithstanding the false and superstitions nations that prevail at the present time, nor what philosophical might be held by the cultured sects, Rev. Joseph L. McCoy stood by the life and works of Jesus Christ. He was one of the leading exponents of Baptist orthodoxy, and in his ability to expound those doctrinal principles, he had few equals; he had no superiors. Dr. McCoy died at his late residence, 1382 East 15th street, Feb 22, 1915. He was born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, in 1861. His early education was acquired in the public schools of Washington, D. C., and from the law department of Howard University. After a fe wyears of successful practise in law in the city of Washington he abandoned the profession and directed all his energies toward the ministry. He went back to his Alma Mater and commenced the study of theology. After a few months in this department the University conferred upon him the degree of D. D. Shortly after leaving the University the American Baptist Publication Society appointed him to do missionary work throughout the East, and in this capacity he served long and well. The Central Baptist church of Charleston, S. C., was organized by Dr. McCov and in turn pastored by him for upwards of ten years. Failing in health and acting upon the advice of physicians he changed climates, going from Charleston to Augusta, Ga., in which place he substituted in the absence of Dr. C. T. Walker, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, and from there was called to the Harmony Baptist church. Augusta. There he remained six years, increasing membership and spiritual growth. From the remote parts of a southern clime he travelled westward in answer to the call of the Second Baptist church of Los Angeles. Here he remained until a few davs ago, when he ended his life's work on earth. While in this state he was elected president of the State Baptist convention, moderator of the Western Baptist association, and was ex-moderator of the Ministers' Alliance. To infuse love, faith and grace into the hearts of his hearers was the constant aim of Dr. McCoy. He breathed into theology a human spirit and proclaimed daily the sanctity and divinity of Jesus Christ. He preached with spiritual power and led a great advance toward Christian ideals. There is an element among those creative, positive minds that enables them to apprehend the truth in a manner and to an extent which the ordinary man does not appreciate nor understand. Dr. McCoy was peculiarly endowed with this element. Having discovered what he believed to be the truth, he labored with untiring zeal and unhesitating regard to have others enjoy the blessings which he had attained for himself. As a preacher his life and work are characterized by long and patient endeavor. By sinking his teaching plummet deep in the abyss of sin he succeeded in winning many souls for God's kingdom. His visits to the sick and afflicted formed a part of his daily work and pleasure. He loved every department of his church and labored for the development of each one. Dr. McCoy was a business man. It required but a little time to convince the people of Los Angeles that he was able to manage the financial as well as the spiritual side of his church. It was in consequence of that ability that he succeeded in liquidating all debts incurred by the church he last pastored. No bills, nor mortgages are left to be paid. The church is in a prosperous, self-supporting condition. As a man: Rev. Joseph L. McCoy was a man among men finely intelligent; among thinkers, purely impersonal; among teachers, absolutely unselfish; among friends, inflexibly faithful. By dint of penetration and unassuming fitness he rose to an altitude of supreme power and confidence, and gained the love and respect of both races and all classes of people. When a few of his contemporaries were drifting from the old landmark, and when confusion and disorder were sounding their discordant meter round their ears; like the swift boreal light that flies at midnight through the skies, the tumult came, and separation and disorder forgot those old Baptismal names. Like the true sentinel of God that he was, Dr. McCoy stayed at the post where God had in His providence set him. He was to be the guiding spirit in that crucial time. Some men of routine, and a few master minds tended to fly off in tangents, disturbing the peace and harmonv of God's church and His people, but they were constrained however, by one who was so strongly armed and nerved in righteousness and truth that the vestige was saved from becoming a wreck of fallen humanity. Some have tried to add, and still others have tried to subtract in their efforts to evolutionize a palpable solution for the religious problems of life; some people in trying to formulate new doctrines and creeds have lost their bearing; lost in a labyrinth of doubt, they cannot find any sure footing. Lost in the mazes of their inquiring ambitions not one returns to the oil faith, or find grace enough to accept a new one. As a citizen Dr. McCoy was keenly alive to a sense of appreciation for political franchise and economy. He evinced special interest in the political issues of the day and most especially those that had for their objects the real betterment of members of his own race. His respect was deep and reverent for those civic vir- Los Angeles, Cal., MARCH 6, 1915 tues that form the breastwork of society. After the insidious nature of the disease of which he was a victim had become apparent to himself and friends, he rose on his theme's broad wing, and grasping in his nervous hand the imaginary battle brand, in face of death he dared to fling defiance to riotous living. He was a veritable valedictorian. Realizing and combating with his heart's great anguish, and knowing that the end was near at hand, he declared in glowing sentences, "I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith." These sentences he spake compelled the hearts of his people to quake, and from his Christian tongue these words were intensely and pathetically uttered: "Love ye one another." The lessons he has taught have sunk deeply in our hearts and shall not soon depart. The race has lost an able champion. The state has lost a statesman. The denomination has lost a historian. His remains were allowed to lie in state at the church from 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon until 12 o'clock the next day, during The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a close-up of a person's face, but the details are not clear. which time his body was reviewed by thousands of visitors. Amid rich foliage and floral beauty (expressions of sympathy and grief) his body was interred in its final resting place at Rose-dale cemetery. The funeral service was held from the Second Baptist church on Friday, Feb. 25th, beginning at 1 o'clock p. m. The church was packed to its fullest capacity and thousands were on the street remaining until the service had been concluded. Rev. F. W. Cooper of Riverside preached the funeral sermon and Rev. C. H. Anderson acted as tlemen, who had general car service was so arranged moved with cloak. The pall bearer J. J. Byers, Rev. N. P. Gregg, Rev. Rev. J. D. Go Thomas.

After the sermon had been preached the following ministers made short talks eulogizing the greatness of the deceased: Rev. E. W. Kinchen, pastor of Wesley Chapel; Rev. Coleman, of Oakland; Rev. J. D. Gordon, pastor of the Tabernacle church; Rev. Eldridge, the last preacher given a license under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. McCoy, spoke of the advice given him and his desire that the young men to take up the work where he left off. Many Resolutions Presented. The resolutions presented were many, as follows: By the Interdecominational Ministerial Alliance, presented by Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor of the First A. M. E. church; the Baptist Ministers' Alliance, by Rev. A. C. Williams, pastor of Providence church; Tabernacle church, by Rev. J. D. Gordon; by the Second Baptist church, J. H. Bates; the Missionary Society, by Mrs. M. J. Davis; from the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., read by Myrtle Anderson; from the choir and Young Men's Brotherhood of the church, Prof. H. D. Greer. The funeral was conducted by the Smith Williams Co. and it was indeed a high credit to these gen- M. tlemen, who had arranged a funeral car service and every detail was so arranged that everything moved with clockwork precision. The pall bearers were Rev. W. J. J. Byers, Rev. J. T. Hill, Rev. N. P. Gregg, Rev. E. W. Kinchen, Rev. J. D. Gordon, Rev. H. B. Thomas. Too much credit cannot be given to the Second Baptist church for the pains which they had taken to see that no detail should be overlooked in the last sad rites over their beloved pastor, and all who were present say that this service was a high credit not only to the church and the race, but to the entire community as well. A wife, three sons, two sisters and a legion of friends mourn his loss. Special music was beautifully rendered by the choir, aside from rendering Dr. McCoy's favorite song. Rev. Eldridge and Prof. Green rendered a duett, S. P. Johnson rendered a solo, assisted by the choir. BAKERSFIELD NEWS Rev. M. Stevens is still seriously ill at his home on 13th street. Mr. Frank Washington, the popular tailor, in Winters block, was called to Los Angeles to the bedside of his sick wife, Mrs. Georgie Washington, last Friday. He was expected to return Monday, but she was so ill that he did not come. We pray that she will recover soon. The Passover feast at the A. M. E. church was such a success that it was extended a week longer. Music was a special feature of the delightful program, being favored two evenings by beautiful selections by Professor Heath. Rev. West spoke Thursday, his subject being "Rubbed In," and was a most pleasing and uplifting one to all, and awoke all to their sense of duty to their fellowmen. Friday evening, aside from general program, Mr. Robt. Blackwell, a member of the Dixie Concert Singers, favored us with a baritone solo which was beautifully rendered. Mrs. N. Buchner, Miss Smallwood, Mr. Edward Atkinson, Mr. Blackwell and Mr. Buchner were kind enough to favor us with two beautiful selections, that were artistically rendered, showing each to be an artist. Especially glad were music lovers of Bakersfield to welcome Mrs. Buchner, who so delightfully entertained them three years ago. She is an artist with the most beautiful birdlike tones of the race. Rev. Price was pleased to have them and thanked them again and again for their kindness. Mr. Romeo Price left for San Francisco Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Buchner, Miss Smallwood and Edward Atkinson and Miss Anita McClanahan weer the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Winters at dinner Friday evening. Miss A. McClanahan was very pleased to meet a student from Washington, D. C., Mr. Blackwell, where she had attended school Will Alexander's advice to Miss Leona Moore be heeded? Miss Marie Simpson of the Western Grocer Co. is on the sick list. Miss Mamie Hudson is clerking at the Western Grocery store this week. Miss Lillie Simpson made a flying business trip to San Francisco to get pointers of the new styles at the opening of the season. Miss Mary Van Brunt has started her vocal lessons again, and is making rapid progress. We hope that she will continue her lessons, as she possesses a wonderful voice. Miss Anita McClanahan, her chum, is also studying and possesses a promising voice. She is one of our June THE PEOPLES FORUM graudates. Mr. Godwin Van Brunt is expected to join the rank of singers in a few days. Madam Azalia Hackley is invited to spend a week in Bakersfield with Mrs. Pearly Lowery Winters, on her way to the fair. The music lovers here are expecting to hear her in a grand recital. Mrs. Winters wishes to thank her many friends in Los Angeles who were so kind to her sister during her illness, also for the many beautiful floral pieces and letters of condolence at her death. She wishes to thank her Bakersfield friends also, the Thimble club, the Eastern Star, and the Golden West club. STOCKTON NOTES. "Time." By Mr. Charles Stanley of the Dunbar Literary Society. Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we as individuals are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory. Of no talent He has given will He require a more strict account than our time. The value of time is beyond words of expression. Christ regarded every moment as precious and it is that we should regard it as such. Life is too short to be fooled away. We have but a few days of probation in which to prepare for eternity. We have no time to waste, no time to devote in selfish pleasure, no time to indulge in sin. It is now we are to form characters for the future, immortal life. It is now that we are to prepare for the searching judgment. The human family have scarcely begun to live, when they begin to die; the world's labor ends in nothingness unless a true knowledge in regard to eternal life is gained. The man who appreciates time as his working clay will fit himself for a mansion and for a life that is immortal. We are admonished to redeem time, but time thrown away can never be recovered. We cannot call back even one moment. The only way in which we can redeem our time is by making the most of that which remains. Now is our time to labor for the salvation of our fellowmen. All are to labor in winning souls to Christ. We are to stand as minute men, ready for service at a moment's notice to speak to some needy soul the word of life that many never again be offered. God may say to that one, "This night thy soul is required of thee," and through our neglect he may not be ready. In the great judgment day, how shall we render an account unto God? The improvement of our time depends upon our success in acquiring knowledge and mental culture. The cultivating the brain need not be prevented by poverty or unfavorable surroundings. Only let the moments be treasured, a few minutes here and there fooling away in aimless talk, the morning hours often spent in bed, pleasure reading, while if a book were kept at hand and these fragments of time were improved in study, reading or careful thought, what might be accomplished?

S. HARRIS, Box 16, Watts LAW PARTNERSHIP. James Hosick, who has, until recently, been a deputy in the City Prosecutor's office, and Griffith Jones, well known as an attorney of prominence, have issued announcements of partnerships. The Eagle takes this opportunity to congratulate each one upon his association with the other, and to wish them great success. Hosick and Jones will have their offices at 512-14 Byrne Bldg., corner of Third and Broadway. "Jim Hosick" was internationally known as a detective and later, when he became an attorney established a marvelous record as prosecutor. The writer has been present upon numerous occasions when Mr. Hosick has been prosecuting and his manner was always that of a man who merely laid the facts before the jury, as was his duty, and there let the matter rest. He was in no sense a persecutor. He is as strong a defender as he was prosecutor. While Attorney Griffith Jones is well known in the courtrooms of this county, it is a political speaker the writer is most acquainted with him. During the recent campaign the editor was frequently upon the political platform, and as chairman of many meetings had an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with Mr. Jones. Wherever this gentleman spoke he received a welcome which expressed the esteem and high regard of his audience. The Eagle wishes the firm of Hosick and Jones that success which surely will be theirs.

Continued from Page 1 A good purpose, and a careful economy of time will enable any person to acquire knowledge and mental discipline which qualify them for almost any position of influence and usefulness. There is no excuse for slothful work of any kind. Where one is always at work and the work is never done, it is because mind and heart are not put into the labor. The one who is slow, and works at a disadvantage, he should realize these are faults to be corrected. Let every person value their time, whatever line of work or anything which takes our time let it be to the uplift of God and humanity. THE MUSEUM Our Motto "Service." Frank Fukuda, M. A.

Peace! Prosperity! Union! Thanks unto heaven the Democratic congress has adjourned and that should be at least of some benefit to the people. The Kansas City Herald we must say carries off the palm as a booster. If they can say what they do about some of the gentlemen whom they are boosting for their virtues, we can truly say we are prolific with true greatness. --- Have you noticed the fact that The Eagle prints the news, without fear or favor and that is what the people want. We stand for the people and our highest ambition is to give them what they want, and therefore news beyond the pale of personalities they shall always see in these columns. 一 Our jellyfish mayor and mediocre judges and other wind jammers who could see no harm in the Clansman should by all means read in this issue the news from New York. The National Board of Censors opened their eyes and saw it, the Police Commission saw it, as a result the Clansman pictures will not show in New York. Back there they recognize the fact that the war is over. Thanks to the N. A. A. C., which organization is really doing things. If the gentlemen who are advocating the placing in the field in the coming campaign a Negro ticket are really sincere and the proverbial Negro is not hiding in the woodpile, there are many who think it is a step in the right direction. We have only so far fired our five pounders at the political bums who are around representing that they represent the Colored voters. We are oiling up and placing in order our heavy artillery to use on them and then we are going to hear something drop. The political bum is a disgrace to the race and he must go. The people have decreed that they must be eliminated, and woe be unto the man who countenances their support in his behalf. New York, 3:20 p. m., March 2, 1915. Mr. E. Burton Ceruti, 501. Thorne Bldg. 501 Thorpe Bldg., Los Angeles, Cal. Association has scored great triumph in New York. National Board of Censorship, after advanced performance of Birth of a Nation (Clansman), unanimously voted last evening to disapprove entire second part of film and to cut out all objectionable race allusions, including that to little child from first part. Police Commissioner has promised to stop production in New York. ( Signed ) MAY CHILDS NERNEY SEEK TO PUT UP A NEGRO TICKET. The Mutual Reform League met at the office of G. W. Whitley and W. Jackson at 159 Wilmington street Thursday evening at 8:30 and selected a ticket of their own to be placed in the field for the primary election to be held May 3rd, 1915. Several names of prominent citizens were present and names were suggested to be placed on the ticket as candidate for the city ticket. A committee was appointed to look into the eligibility of names submitted and report back next Monday evening, March 8, at 159 Wilmington st., 7:30 p. m. The organization subscribed $500 to help defray expenses. KANSAS-MISSOURI The Kansas-Missouri club held their regular meeting at the residence of Mr.-J. Wait, 1346 W. 36th st., on last Tuesday evening, the guests of Messrs. Wait and E. Waller. It was a grand old time meeting, with genuine Kansas-Missouri hospitality shown on all hands. Messrs. Waller and Wait always make good in their efforts to entertain the club and this meeting was indeed no exception. A program was rendered and all enjoyed the evening to the utmost. THE TILLMAN LUCKY CO. S. B. Tillman, the well-known contractor of the West side, and W. E. Lucky of Gladys avenue, have formed a partnership in the well drilling business, Mr. Lucky having bought a half interest with Mr. Tillman. They will operate in the Victorville district and elsewhere. These gentlemen will no doubt be a success, as both are men who can be relied upon and they have a first-class line of machinery that will do the work and all they ask is a trial and they guarantee the best work at the lowest cost. They have more than $2000.00 worth of machinery and start out under the most favorable auspices. They are the pioneers among our people in this line of work and we all wish them the success which we know will be theirs. Mr. Davis of 176 S. Utah st. announces that arrangements are being made for a grand entertainment for every minute of the time for the Masonic visitors at San Francisco in June. Mrs. J. W. Coleman, wife of J. W. Coleman, the employment agent, who was employed at the Cadillac hotel, was the victim of a serious accident on last Monday at that place, when she fell down two or three flights of stairs, severely bruising herself and injured internally. At this writing she is reported slowly improving. Mr. Alex B. Moore of San Diego was a visitor to Los Angeles this week, returning home Thursday. R. C. Owens, our local capitalist, returned from a ten days trip to San Francisco and Oakland, where he was present at the opening of the great Exposition. He reports the time of his life. The grand rehearsal of Mdme. Hacklev at 8th and Town street church. Tuesday evening was a huge success and let it be known no one should miss the concert on next Tuesday evening at Trinity Auditorium. We failed to mention in announcing the arrival of Mr. Chas. B. Dones from Seattle last week that he was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Dones. We are informed that Mr. Wood Wilson has been appointed to a denutvship by Sheriff Klein and that W. H.

See those who are our friends. Their names will appear in these columns. The big meeting will come off on Tuesday night. Everyone should be out to hear the issues discussed and hear prominent speakers who will be present. Mr. Treifzger, the University Avenue plumber, who is a candidate for the Council, is a friend of all the people and will receive a strong support from all classes. The editor of The Eagle on his recent visit there found our correspondent a very busy man at the Exposition grounds, where there is about 40 to 50 young men and women of the race employed, Mr. Ramsey is entitled to great credit for his efforts to secure employment for our people. Review by Staff of The Eagle On Our Annual Visit. One will go a long ways to find a city the size of San Diego with the grit and ambition of this city at the furthermost point of the United States on the bay of that name. Here we find a class of citizenship which is up and doing and have built the greatest exposition of any city of its size in the world, and they are running it with great credit, not only to themselves, but to the entire country as well. No one who can should fail to visit this fair. It is all that it is represented to be and no one can only in a faint way tell of its wondrous beauty. It is a cast of tasting the pudding to tell of its sweetness and flavor. The Eagle has an appreciative clientage here, it is firmly established, and it is our custom to annually visit our readers, the business men and firms, who see the great work which we are doing, and they are not backward in encouraging us by giving to us a hearty support. So, even in these Democratic times, they realize our worth and continue to give to us a hearty recognition. The following firms and individuals are now and have been willing to give to this great enterprise their support: The Crest Market & Grocery, Deans Millinery, Mode Cloak and Suit House, Mdme.

FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM The real story of the life and times of the Negro Race will be told in this city in the near future under the title of "Fifty Years of Freedom." Over three hundred of our townspeople are in the production. All of our prominent ladies will stand as sponsors and be the active patronesses, enlisting the performers and will help to arouse this city to the true grandeur of the successful achievements of the colored people in fifty years, since the laws of this country bound the Race to servitude, and would not tolerate even the simples form of education for them. The great advance made will be presented in such a manner that the Negro will be proud of his Race. Proud of his achievement in the face of almost unsurmountable obstacles. There will be a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. and the active patronesses of Fifty Years of Freedom at the Y. M. C. A., 829 South San Pedro street, every Tuesday at 2 p. m. to further the work in completing the lists of the three hundred characters who will take part in the great historical scenes which are soon to be given in our city. The scenes show the wonderful progress of the Colored race in fifty years—unparalleled in the history of any race. It will be given in the largest auditorium of this city. Secretary T. A. Green desires to have the ladies of the Auxiliary who were elected last September to sarve upon the various committees as Active Patronesses. Members of the Y. M. C. A. Auxiliary. viz.: Mrs. H. W.

Williams dis= cussed, intelligently, the topic, “What will improve our prayer. meetings?” He said in part that. the prayer meeting was a business a6 well as any other enterprise and could be greatly improved with the election of strong confidencial offi— cers and conducted like any other organization, He spoke of what n inspiration it would be were every one willing to forgive his brotber of an offense and by living the golden rule by doing to others as he would have done to him. Another improvement would be to have as leaders the strongest Chris- tians possible and as references spoke of Abrabam, Moses, Joseph and other strong Biblical charac? ters whom God saw fit to choose as leaders of men and Christianity, He also stated that the life of any eburch was due largely to the strength and influence of its prayer meetings and beseeched the church asawhole to attend those meet-: ings regular'y and willingly with @ strong determination to walk closer with God and man; conquer 8in and its resulte, and to let their lights shine brightly before sin- ners. When this is done, the prayer meetings can not help but be improved.

In The Midst OfThe Desert Realistic Story By Mrs. Octavia Green Origanly published In this paper January 22 1915 Origanly published In this paper January 22 1915 SVNOPSIS Louis Barnes, a young Negro, after taking a course in electrical engineering marries Eva Lee and comes to Los Angeles to live. He applied at mary places for a position for which he has been prepared, but he is turned down, very often on his inexperience, but more often on the color of his face. Finally he accepts a position as porter on the limited (now run by electricity) from Los Angeles to New Orleans. On one of his return trips the engineer drops dead at the throttle in the midst of the Mojave desert Louis, being the only one abroad who has studied electrical engineering, is given the job of completing the run. He makes the run to Los Angeles on schedule time, he is given $200 and a life time job by the superintendent who formerly turned him down because of the color of his face. Louis Barnes sat at the desk of his scantily furnished library thinking hard of that great problem that confronts every energetic young man who is trying to rise above the discriminations against his, the most persecuted race on earth. But the thought that gave him most concern was how was he going to rise in the world financially and support himself and wife on thirty dollars a month. He was thinking of the difficulties that had hindered him obtaining a position for which he had prepared himself. The facts were these: He, Louis Barnes, had been reared in a small town in Alabama. His mother and father having had no advantage of an education themselves, were desirous of Louis, their only son, having all they could possibly afford, so for this reason they had denied themselves of many things. They sent him to the public schools at home and then to Tuskegee Institute. In the course of his six years training the Grim Reaper claimed both his father and mother, and Louis was left to face the world alone, but the lessons that he had been taught by his parents were seed sown in good soil. Louis spent the greater part of his time in Tuskegee in preparing himself for an electrical engineer, and he did well. When he came out of school he married the girl of his choice, Eva Lee, and they came west to live. Like other young men of his time he felt that the world needed him badly and was stretching out her arms to welcome him among her core of workers: so, when Louis landed in Los Angeles he was filled with himself. Louis promptly domiciled himself and wife in a thre-room apartment and after placing an advertisement in the Examiner for a situation as an electrical engineer, sat down to await results. As a result of his advertisements he received three telephone calls to apply in person for the position wanted. Accordingly he dressed himself in a way to seem as important as possible, and started to the designated places. At the first place he opened the door of the manager's office and walked in. ager; not turning his head for so much as a glance to see who his visitor might be, "what can I do for you," and continued to write. "You told me to apply in person for a position as electrical engineer," Louis replied. "Oh!!" said the manager turning in his chair for the first time, "Where are your references?" Louis pulled cut his diploma, and passing it to the manager said that he had just finished that course last year. "You have never been employed in doing this work," said the manager, merely glancing at the certificate. Louis replied that he had not. "Your experience is not sufficient," said the manager, passing the paper back and returning to his writing at the same gime. In vain did Louis try to interest that person in the thoroughness of his course but he refused to listen and continued his writings as though he had never been disturbed. Louis was provoked with that manager, but he consolled himself by think.ng that he had still two other places to present himself. When Louis arrived at the second place and stated his mission, he was told that another had applied and had been given the job. When he was on his way to the third and last place things didn't seem so bright. He hoped for the best but he was wholly unprepared for what he did get. Arriving at the general office, of a railroad company Louis went into the superintendent's private office and stated his errand. The superintendent turned in his chair and said, "We don't hire niggers for that position." It took a great deal of courage to withstand that retort, but Louis although surprised, had himself well in hand and merely said, "Thank you" and walked out. Deep down in his heart he said, "you don't now but you will." When he reached home Eva, his wife, knew from the look on his face that he had not met with success, so she wisely refrained from asking any questions. The next week he advertised in the Times with no better results. Finally he fell to answering advertisements as they appeared in the local papers. He was always turned down, very often on his inexperience, but more often on the color of his face. Then he had to take whatever he could get to do, so he accepted a position as porter on the Limited from Los Angeles to New Orleans. This position paid a salary, of $30 a month, barely enough to support himself and wife. Now as he was going over these facts his heart was becoming more and more hardened he tapped nervously on the desk with his pencil as he thought of different plans to advance himself along financial lines and as often as he made them he dismissed them as no good. Finally he became so worried that he jerked up his hat and slamming the door behind him he strode out into the street for a breath of fresh air. When he returned his wife was laying the table, and when she saw him she gave him a smile of welcome, whereupon he clasped her in his arms and smothered her with kisses. He had never been able to behave himself when R.B. Odom, Treasurer. she smiled bewitchingly at him, in fact it was one of her bewitching smiles with a mischievous twinkle that had answered for "yes" when Louis had asked her to be Mrs. Barnes. Like all women know their winning card, Mrs. Barnes knew that certain one of her smiles was her winning card when she was playing with her husband. So just like an ardent young lover he held her off at arm's length admiringly and said: "I haven't a job worth a cent but I have the most adorable wife in California." When they had finished their evening meal, while Eva was washing the dishes Louis went to the book-case and took out his text-books on electrical engineering and renewed his mind on the fundamental principles, not that he had forgotten, but he wanted to keep them fresh in his mind. He sat with his face in his hands, his eyes closed and imagined himself with an electrical engine in hand, she was responding to his every touch, and a thrill of pride passed over him as he realized that God had made man to rule the world. He was awakened from his reverie by a light touch on his arm, wher he looked up his wife was bending over him. She nestled down beside him, placing her arms around his neck and promptly all thoughts of electrical engineering were dismissed and he became all eagerness to hear what she had to say, for he knew that this was the position she chose when she had something important to say to him. "Darling," she said, "I know that you have great ambitions in life, and too. I know that you are in no way near the goal you wish to attain, but you must be patient and not allow discriminating against our color and lack of financial means keep you from appreciating the beauties around you and a use you to become old before you are actually so in years. We have youth and health and pure purposes and with such we can accomplish many things, we must be patient." She waited but he made no reply other than to tighten his grasp around her waist, then she kissed him and left him. Next morning Mr. Barnes arose early to make ready for his long run. "Dearest," he sain, "I'll be away possibly a week this time, my run, takes me straight through to New Orleans, amuse yourself as best you can, I'll send you cards all along the way so that you will know I'm thinking of you, so good-bye." She watched him from the kitchen window till he got on the car. He turned as he was getting on the car and blew a kiss to her. She arose from the window with a sigh and went about her duties with a heavy heart. I wonder what the future has in store for him mnsed: "Then Fates said, 'I wonder.' The Limited, now run by electricity, had excelled all records in making the run to New Orleans of two and a dav's and now was on the way back to Los Angeles. The passengers were engaged in various bits of conversations, some laughing and chatting gaily, some making-acquaintances, others gravely discussing the war and the probably effect of it. No one seemed to have noticed that they had now entered on a broad level stretch of arid land until the porters called their attention to it. The Limited was now speeding toward, the center of the Mojave desert. Suddenly the train began ts lose time and shortly came to an abrupt stand-still. Porters began to rush to the front o ascertain the cause of the stop. It did not take long for the news to spread that the engineer had fallen dead at the throttle. The passengers were politely sympathetic at first, but when they began to realize that they were in the middle of the desert with no one to steer them further their sympathy for the poor unfortunate died away and they began to wonder what could be done. The conductor cursed his luck. Why had not the company provided him with a substitute in case of necessity, as it was, he was in the center of the desert with no engineer. Louis walked to and from among the passengers and listened to their remarks about the stupidity of the company. He learned from them that none of them were delighted at being compelled to halt in the middle of a desert and await results. Could he trust himself with the control of this train, unacustomed as he was to railway signals. He strolled up to th MRS. E. R. BALDWIN, M. E. Q MISS M. BUSBY, W S Mrs. A. Wesley, Worthy matron.

He knew he could run her; there was a faint gleam of hope in his eyes as he walked up to the conductor and said in a decisive manner. "Mr. York, I can run this train into Los Angeles for you." "Hump," said Mr. York, "where did you learn how to run an electrical engine?" "I took a complete course on electrical engineering at Tuskegee," replied Louis. "Go to it," said the conductor, "and if you do well, one hundred dollars and I'll see what I can do with the company for you in the way of a job. The passengers had gotten out and were discussing the situation in excited tones. "All aboard," shouted the conductor. The command came as a surprise, but the passengers scrambled into their respective coaches, wondering who was the new engineer. Louis pressed the button that turned on the current, placed his hand on the throttle, the whistle blew and the Limited sped on the way to Los Angeles. There was a little time lost but Louis made it up so that they came into Los Angeles on schedule time, 8:45 a. m. "Come with me into the office, Mr. Barnes," said the conductor in a tone a trifle more respectful than he was accustomed. When they entered the superintendent's office Mr. York said, "Mr. Burns, we were in the middle of the desert coming this way, when the engineer fell dead at the throttle. There was no other who knew enough to run the train other than this young man. You see he has brought us in on schedule time. I promised him a hundred dollars and— "I will double it," said Mr. Burns "and give him a life-time job." While all this was going on, Louis stood like one in a dream. When he first went into the superintendent's office he remembered his first visit and now, as he heard the superintendent's words, he recalled the saying "vengeance, is sweet," and he knew that he had obtained his revenge in an honorable way. While Mr. Burns was writing the cheek, the conductor walked out. When he had closed the door, the superintendent turned to Louis and said, "Young man, I remember you to be the same one who applied to me some time ago for a position as electrical engineer. I also remember that I told you that we did not employ niggers; the truth is I was the nigger and you proved yourself to be a gentleman by the way you withstood hat retort. I apologize for that remark, and I desire to employ you as engineer on this train. Will you?" "I accept the position," said Louis with a gleam of triumph. "Report for duty day after tomorrow," said Mr. Burns, passing Louis the check for two hundred dollars. Louis thanked him and with a bounce was out of the office. He was so eager to be home to tell Eva the glad news that he could not wait for a car, so he hailed a jitney bus, promising the owner five dollars if he would take him home as fast as all speed laws would allow. The news of the former engineer's death preceded the Limited to Los Angeles by wire, so that when the train arrived newsboys were loudly calling out the daring h. adlines, "Negro takes position as electrical engineer on the Limited!" Eva Barnes bought a paper and could scarcely read of her husband's wonderful good luck because tears of joy blinded her eyes. Later while they were discussing the matter she said, "Darling, only a week ago we were in the midst of the desert with no engineer, but now we can see the lights of the city to which we are going."
