ests, though he used strong language
in pointing out the critical situation
now confronting organized labor. A
long and detailed review of the nu-
merical growth of the labor unions DUR
ing the past year and a recapitulation
of the various strikes and other diff
culties was followed by strong appeal
to the federation to stand firm and
prepare for the decisive battle believed
urged to continue the fight for the
eighth hour work day and for the vari-
Gus other legislative measures in which
the federation is interested. At the
conclusion of his address President
Gompers was the recipient of another
ovation in which seemingly all of the
delegates joined. The appointment of
committees and other business of a
routine nature occupied the remainder
of the session. The subsequent ses-
sions of the convention. which will last
week or ten days, will be held be-
hind closed doors.
Aside from the possibility of fight
over Ine pfeSluellCe Vi Tie ltuSIhtioii
the present convention promises to be
by far the most important the organ1-
cation has held in recent years. Never
before has there been such long list
of vital questions prepared for con-
sideration and action. Some of the
more important matters of national
character that will come before the del
egates will be the open-shop question,
the injunction bill and the recent
action of D. E. Loowe of Danbury,
Conn. who brought suit against the
united matters of North America and
the American federation of labor for
damages growing out of boycott. The
question of the open shop will furnish
food for the greater part of the session
and doubtless result in some decided
action regarding President Roosevelts
attitude in the recent Miller contro-
versy.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 9.-On the
floor of historic Faneuil hall, where a
century and more ago the early build
ers of the republic were wont to as
semble and pour forth their patriotic
utterances, there We're gathered this
morning hundreds of representatives of
the bone and sinew, the muscle and
the energy of the toiling millions of
the United States They were the del
egates to the twenty third annual con-
vention of the American federation of
labor and among them was represent
ed every trade and every industry of
the new world.
Promptly at 10 o'clock President
Samuel Gompers mounted the rostrum
and called the gathering to order. The
presidents appearance was the signal
for an outbreak of enthusiastic APP
plause and a similar ovation greeted
the arrival of James Duncan, first vice
president of the federation and prom1-
nently mentioned as the possible sue
cessor of Gompers in the presidency.
After quiet had been restored welcomes
were expressed in behalf of the state
of Massachusetts,, the city of Boston
and the labor unions of the municipal
ity, and appropriate responses were
made by President Gompers and sew
eral of the delegates. These formali-
ties over Secretary Morrison proceeded
to read the call for the gathering, and
the roll call of delegates followed. The
calling of the roll showed the conVen-
ton to be the largest numerically in
the history of the federation. The fea-
ture of the opening session was the
annual address of President Gompers.
The paper was somewhat longer than
usual, but from first to last was list
ened to with closest attention by the
large assemblage. The president, true
to his conservative policy. refrained
from any extreme criticism of those
believed to be opposed to labor inter-

How People Came to Have Blue Eyes.
There is a legend about blue eyes that
is very interesting. When the world
was first made people all had, so runs
the story, eyes as dark as the duskiest
night. And of all the people on the
face of the earth the fairest was a
maiden who lived on the banks of
great sea and who used to sit and
watch the waves roll up on the shore
and anxiously wait for her father. who
was a sailor. to come home and bring
the days net of fish. But one night
the fisherman did not come home, anc
his daughter sat and watched for him
until morning. And all next day she
walked up and down the sands, still
gazing at the sea and praying for her
fathers return. But as day after day
passed and all hope Of him was given
up and his empty boat was washed
upon the shore the girl lost heart and
cried bitterly. All day long she sat on
the beach looking into the blue water
until little by little her eyes turned
from black to blue, so the story runs.
and that is how there came to be SC
many blue eyed people In the world.
But when her guardian angel saw
the change and noticed how the girl
grieved she whispered to her that
henceforth half Of all the great people
Of the earth should have blue eyes.

Julia Morelli lived on the top floor

ing in the rear of the four-storied
rickety old building that looked out
on Mulberry street. The four-storied
building had a little air and sun
light to give to it's hundreds OF men,
women and children.
In the winter the building in the
rear was comfortable as home, but
in the summer it was fearfully hot.
and everybody had to sleep on the
roof. Here little Julia, for she was
only fourteen years old and small for
her age, could lie awake at hight and
look up at the stars and dream of
Pasquale.
He was her neighbor. He lived in
the front house. He was eighteen,
and he was tall and brave, and gave
her the peanuts and apples that he
could not sell, so that she loved him
and he loTed her.
Julia's father was a shoemaker, and
had but little liking for Pasquale.
All of the Bucios had been ne'er-do
wells, he declared; the father had
died and left his only son nothing but
a pushcart and a barrel of apples and
bag of peanuts. Pasquale had
worked hard, he admitted, but he was
not in a good position, and his trade
did not pay we'll, for the policeman

he had sold three dollars worth OF
apples and peanuts, and then arrested
him and took him off to court, where
No, Pasquale was not the man for
Julia, her father declared, for she was
extravagant and used to every COM
fort, such as shoes in the summer
time and new shawls when the patri-
otto sons of Italy had their picnics in
Lion Park. So Julia was told never
to think of Pasquale again.
Julia was sure that she loved Pas.
quale, and she knew that he loved
her, too. So that it was all soon ar.
.anged.
Pasquale said that he would make
a formal offer of his heart and hand,
and then, if her father would not let
them get married, why they would do
so anyhow and ask his consent after
ward. Then he went away.
The next morning when her mother
went out to market she was ready.
She crept down the stairs and then
through the alley to Mulberry street
and then down to the Bowery. Pas
Quale was waiting for her. They got
on the elevated and went away up
own.
"Now we are safe" said Pasquale;
they will never seek for us up this
far, and have bought a shoeblack
stand up here and we. will soon be
rich-and so happy"
when are we to be married?"
asked Julia, her heart beating violent.
ly at the mere prospect of so much
happiness.
"You will trust me, won't you, my
