The principal reasons why institutions in

the employees to the service and thus de-
creases the liability to strike. It makes
more certain a continuance of efficient men

perfectly familiar. OF quite much Impor-
lance is the fact that a pension system en-
aoles employers to dispense with the ell

slant encouragement TO good effect on the
part OF younger men hoping for promotion.
NO one can doubt that there is weight In
these reasons. On the other hand, they

SPEECH BY VANDERBILT
NEW YORK BANKER CHIEF
SPEAKER AT CHICAGO BANQUET.

CHICAGO. October 2s-Frank A. Wander
lip, vice president of the City National
Bank of New York was the chief speaker
tonight at the Commercial Clubs first BAN
quet of the season. His subject was "OId
Age Pensions for Workingmen."
He declared that the present industrial
system was severe on the older workers.
and advocated the annuity plan now adopt
ed by many large corporations. His address
was In part as follows:
Mr.. vanderlip's Address.
Mr.. Vanderlip strongly favored thor
ough investigation of the subject of old
age pensions, preferably under the super
vision of the President or the national Con-
gress He suggested that the Commercial
Club request that such an investigation be
made. He said in part:
The new Industrial order has made new
social order. There Is today no such thing
as industrial independence possible for
workingman. The moment he gets out of
harmony with the whirl of the industrial
machine. the moment that sickness over
takes him and accident Injuries him or old
age reduces his power to keep in step
with the Industrial march. his condition is
likely to become incomparably more unfor-
tunate than would have been the case
under similar circumstances in earlier
times.
Such business men as you recognize that
you must shape your business methods so
as to harmonic with the new order of
things. You know that you must cooper
ate In many ways with your fellows: must
share with them their risks; must help to
sustain them in their misfortunes. With
the exception of the United States, all the
great powers of the civilized world pension
their civil servants.
The place where the greatest progress
has been made in an experiment in work.
fngmen's pensions Is Germany. There the
employers contribute roughly one-third and
the workingmen two-tfirds. One incl
dental feature of the administration of the
German system which proves of very
great value Is to be found In the way the
sick and the accident funds are admins
tered by committees made up OF employers
and workngmen. Employers and work.

Sixty years ago the American revo.
luton and the war of 1912 were near
enough to stir the young Yankee spirit
In way unknown to the modern boy
In that day men were still alive who
could tell tales of a winter evening
which gave life to the poems and
school-book anecdotes Of the next
mornings lesson. The old-fashiOned
Yankee boy was much aware that once
we beat the British. Such an old
fashioned boy-nOw great-grandfa-
ther-tells story of the lusty, hui
morous school days of 1910.
His class was reading the history Of
the close Of the revolution. The days
lesson dealt with affairs Immediately
following the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis to General Washington.
When the first boy rose to read, the
other boys were observed to be snick
ering behind their books But the
reader, with solemn mien, proceeded,
invariably rendering the name of the
British commander, which occurred
frequently in the paragraph, as Cob
wallis"
why, jesse interrupted the puz-
zled teacher, finally, why do you keep
saying Lord CobwallisY 1t is Corn
wallis, don't you know
Yes, ma'am, | know his name used
to be CORVALLIS" said the yOungster,
delighted at getting the desired OPP
portunity so easily, but that was be-
fore General Washington shelled all
the corn off him at the battle OF York

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow,
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly fling
Abroad their promises of a spring
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and hoes;
When he has placed beneath the loam
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine,
And proudly says: "All this is NINE
And joyous hears the breakfast bell,
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds pOrtentious on the breeze
Cause his slow curdling blood to freeze
There, cackling sngly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs of leather,
The neighbors' soul-destroying hens
Have flown their fragile makeshift pens.
The big white rooster proudly leads.
The air is full of garden seeds
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps, sod, gravel, and the roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place.
Instead Of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage
Eyer fathers mellerin' with age

cate hues of the burning logs in the
fireplace.
Huntington was silent Polly was in
earnest then. She had broken their
engagement because he must adhere
to the rules laid down for men in
training for the big game. His college
team counted him among their strong
est players; he could not go back on
them Surely, Polly must realize this.
See here, Polly" he began, but she
interrupted him.
Il will not listen, Mr.. Huntington,
and l might add that you may close
the present interview as soon as you
like" She leaned back in her chair
and hummed a snatch of song, utterly
ignoring him.
Huntington rose and took his hat.
"All right Polly! When you are ready
to talk sensibly and wear this ring
again, let me know" and before she
could look around, she heard the big
door close and he was gone.
Alone, she slid from her chair and
sat on the little hassock he had left
so abruptly. How queer and unadOrned
her left hand looked and-yes-there
was an odd, INDISPENSABLE feeling some
where else-on her left side. Why did
anyone invent football?
And yet, Polly sOliloquized, had it
not been for the game, she might new
er have met him and loved him. 1t
was his big, handsome presence on the
field which had first attracted her, and
it was after a splendidly won game
that she had accepted him.
Polly buried her head in her arms
on the big chair and cried-because Of
football, of course and its eyils.
"Huntington's playing the game Of
his life," said Teddy Lathrop, when
time had been called on the first half
of the big intercollegiate game.
"YesT" Polly Westcott's reply was
given in a PARKWAY tone. She wished
they had not called time. She did not
want the players to leave the field at
all. She could not see them during the
intermisson.

son, and he S IN fine TRIM" went on the

what Polly was staring at. He could
see nothing interesting In the vacant
space on which her glance was focused,
but then Lathrop was a freshman and
had not known.
Now watch him." he cried as the
signal for the second half was given.
AS If Polly would do anything elsel
Cheer after cheer went up from the
grandstand as one good play after an
other took place on the gridlron, but
Polly saw only one Of the two elevens,
though she cheered mechanically with
the others.
How proud she was that Huntington
had not gone to the old dances, but
had kept in good trim. Anyway, she
believed the dances were not so Jolly
as they had been formerly-she had
not enjoyed them very much.
"Huntington's hurt" cried Lathrop,
switching Polly's train of thought sud

little procession which was carrying a
man off the field. Take me off the

Lathrop took her arm and they hur-
ried from the grandstand

quite at loss to comprehend the sit
uation.
"To-to-over there" she cried, run
ming in the direction of the little shed
which the teams called the hospital"
Without asking permission she entered
and looked at the man on the low
cot.
Isis he much hurt?" she asked
Let me-" she insisted, rubbing Hunt
ington's forehead, and kneeling beside
him while the others stood around in
blank establishment.
Just knocked silly, | reckon, Miss
Westcott," drawled a big Kentuckian,
who knew both Polly and Huntington
and-Cupid. Hello, Hunt" he said,
as Huntington opened his eyes. Come,
fellows, he's all right"
Polly flashed him a look Of gratitude
as the crowd left the little room.
"Alr. Lathrop, you mustn't miss the
game, really" she added, as the fresh
man stood politely impatient
And although Lathrop was only a
freshman, he noticed that when he
took Miss Westcott home after the
game she was happier than she had

Polly which very much amused her
companion, but he had more tact than
to give evidence of it.

said.
