sion for three days. The program
has just gone to press and is represen-
tative of the high purposes of the
League, being confined to men and wo-
men who have actually succeeded in
business,-example being considered
more important than theoretical dis
cussion not buttressed by tangible
achievement. Among other subjects
to be discussed are the following:

story after story Of success won in
spite of many difficulties by men who
represent the wealth of the Negroes Of
the country.
These meetings of the National Ne
gro Business League have proved in
calculably helpful and successful.
They inspire help and confidence and
more than that, they afford oppOrtuni-
ty for giving to the world examples of
which it knew not of Negro thrift and
accomplishment.

I WILL NOT SING THIS OLD SONG.
For the CoEOred American.


1 will not sing this old song
If it brings regret or pain,
If it's tender memory recalls
Dead memories again.
If its simple strains are hallowed
By thoughts of friends now dead,
I'll not arouse the anguish
Of hopes forever fed.
I will not sing this old song
If it causes tears to rise
Such tears would fail to ease thy
heart
Or check those bitter sighs;
If it reyives that passion
In thy bosom soothed at last,
Recalls a hopeless vision
From the loved and buried past.
1 will not sing this old song,
Though the air is sad and sweet
Though the dear old music thrills
me
As its burden I repeat,
l will fOrbear to breathe it,
Though others it delight,
Since it mas a spell that grieves
thee,
I'll not sing the song tonight.
