StevenSon's act.

Will Low, the painter, recently told
a story of the Latin Quarter days of
Robert Louis Stevenson. Low and
Stevenson were great friends in their
youth; their friendship, indeed, con.
tinued up to the time of the writer's
death.
Louis said the artist, "was no
less diplomatic than brave. He could
be fiery, and he could also be gracious
and pacific. One night, l remember,
we sat in garden in Montmarte. The
red wine had been flowing pretty
freely, and one of our party had got
heated and aggressive. Finally some
one said a thing that this fighting
chap disljhed. He, as soon as the
words were spoken, grabbed up a bot.
lie and hurled it at the others head.
1t was strong, true shot, and would
have hit the bull's-eye had not Steven.
son sprung to his feet, and, with that
singular grace and dexterity Of his.
caught the missile in mid air.
Tut, tut, George he said to the
thrower, tut, tut. If the bottle is
passed so quickly, none of us will be
lble to stand out the evening""

are none more venerable on this side

Go!derrod ard Memories.

From fsr-off. blue Wisconsin hills,
There came a gift OF flowers to me,
With prisoned sunlight in their depths
And fragrance sweet of field and tree
They spoke of days long passed away
Of hazy-Soldcn autumn eyes.
OF moonlight filtered softly down
through canopies of yellow leaves.
And like fair ghosts, for years LAID ,ow,
Come back to haunt familiar ways,
There rose to mind the fry dreams
Woven in long-gone childish days;
Deea ms great with noble deeds ana true
Of hard-won fame, and wealth and
power;
Ard who shall say the ripe ypa"s
Eut mock that golden fairy dover?
Fer speaks a living voice as from
The peTlumed flowers my frie"d has
sent:
Tie visions of the child are true,
For what is wealth but sweet Contents
Io' Better than the fairies peif.
The hard-earned wage Of honest men;
The nob!ost deeds are every days,
Done bravely. once and yet again.
Power Il is ou~s. above q kings,
And godler than cNaits throne,
If We but make a single life
Fhe brighter, that It's next our own.
The soul that rules its living Self
IS mighier than q scepterss sway,
The fairy realm Of childish drea ms!
It lies about Us every .iay.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE question of
whether the organization should commit
itself to the doctrine OF socialism came
squarely before the delegates to the conven-
ton Of the American Federation Of Labor
at its session to-day. The question was not
answered, as shortly before o'clock an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow
when the debate will be resumed Some
nine resolutions favoring public ownership
and the organization of a political party
to bring about conditions the Socialists
seek were all reported on unfavorably by
the committee on resolutions. At once the
long arranged plans of the Socialist dele
gates to fight for the adoption of their
principles was put into operation by dele
gate Hayes, of Cleveland. He offered a
substitute to the committees report, but
was ruled out of order. AT this point the
applause from the spectators led President
Gompers to announce that he would order
the galleries cleared If the applause con-
tinued. His remarks were received with
Kisses. Thereupon he ordered the specta-
tors to leave. There was a great deal Of
confusion, and at the end the elected
people, numbering several hundred, assem-
bled outside Faneuil Hall and adopted reso-
buttons condemnlng President Gompers for
his action. Meantime the debate was re-
sumed by the delegates.
Delegate Hayes and other Socialists
spoke at length against the committees re-
port, willie the committees position was
supported by Delegate Lennon, the treas
urer of the federation. Just before ad-
journment the elected spectators were per-
mitted to re-enter the hall.
The following was the substitute offered
by Delegate Hayes: "Since wages can
never be regarded as the full equivalent for
labor's toll, this convention recommends
that the workers use their POLITICAL and
economic power along the lines of their
class interest to secure for labor the full
product OF its TOLL
President Gompers and James Duncan
said this afternoon. relative to dispatch
from Washington stating the federation
was endeavoring to prevent the appoint

migration committee, that If such en-
deavor was being made 1t was without the
official sanction OF the federation. They
could not undertake to prevent, they said,
any person affiliated with the federation
from canvassing on any question In which
he had a personal interest.
