you ever saw. l lived in the coun-
try and supposed I'd Have to live In
the country ell my life. and 1t seemed
TO me that l just couldn't endure it
never going anywhere or seeing any
thing. That summer a geologist board
| ed with us for while, a professor
from Harvard, and one evening, very
quietly, without my realizing what he
was doing, he drew from me my ambi-
tions and discomfort Then he began
to question me about the country
round me-the rocks and flowers and
birds; couldn't tell him anything. I
| never had cared enough to study them.
l never shall forget the sudden way he
turned on me, and the change In his
voice as he exclaimed: My dear child,
how do you think you will ever be able
to see Gods world abroad If you have
| not learned to see the beauty Of Gods
world about you? Wherever you go,
you will have to carry your own eyes
with you"
Mary Louise drew long breath.
"And that was the way you began to
like things?" she asked, timidly.
"That was the way. He opened my
eyes to my own ignorance. All my
life l never can repay what owe
him."
Mary Louise turned her earnest face
toward the shining hills. Words were
never easy for her, that was why she
did not try to say anything; but In
her heart was the resolve that she, too,
would try to learn, and not walk blind
ly all her days.
| 1t was two weeks later that Mr.. Claf-
lin arrived Unexpectedly at his sisters
| house.
"To take me home!" Mary Louise re-
| peated when, after the first delighted
greetings, they went out for stroll
| together.
Her father glanced down at her quiz
zically. well, not precisely, that Is,
not for long. The fact Is, Uncle Wal
| ter has to run over to England for
three months Aunt Felicia declares
that nothing less than year abroad
could induce her to cross the sea, but
Evelyn is going and he offers to take
one OF our girls at the same time.
And the general consensus of opinion
at home seemed to be that this was the
opportunity for which Mary Louise
had been longing all her life."
But Emily, or Felicia!" cried Mary
Louise in daze.
Emily doesn't seem to be pining for
ocean experiences, and Felicia says
that she has been away three times al
ready, and it's your turn now"
From Mary Louises eyes the daz-
zling vision was clearing She looked
up at her father unffinchingly.
81 can't put it into words WE'LL" she
said, "but | didn't understand before.
/ thought 1t was things that ought to
| be different when 1t was really me;
guess it's better to get yourself ready
even If you never go, than to go and
not be ready And besides, Felicias
the Oldest and it's her right"
A flash of keen pleasure came into
her fathers eyes; Mary Louise looked
| away.
"You are sure that you won't be
sorry?" her father asked.
Eyes, sir, l am sure" Mary Louise
answered, sturdily. I've found a
friend, and I've learned how much
there is to learn in the world, and l
think that's a good deal for one sum-
mer, don't you?"

Nr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
 Labor Day is a legal holiday and 1f was made so because the legislators thought the wage-earners worthy to oonsiderafion oa h of themes @ that concern those who toll appreciate the com pliment paid me by the program com mittee of this city in inviting me to participate in the ceremonies of this day. and 1t was gladly accepted. be- cause Chicago is the second city in the Union, and as laboS centre 1t Is scarcely second to any city in the
 If it were proper to speak from a text. would select passage from Proverbs, for I know of no better one tifan that furnished by the words Of solomon when he declared that as a man -thlnketh in his heart, so is he.' This Is Bible doctrine; 1t is common sense. and 1t Is human experience. We heads--out of the heart ''are the is- sues of life" It is a poor head that cannot find plausible reason for do- ing what the heart wants to do; begin my speech with this proposition because l want to impress it upon the minds of those who listen to me, and upon those who read what say to you The labor question is more a moral than an intellectual one.
 Tolstoi. the great Russian philoso- pher, in defining the doctrins of bread labor gives asypne of the reasons in
 
 with manual labor--not a recollection of former toll, but continued acquaint- ance with it--is necessary to keep one in sympathy with those who work with their hands. He contends--and is 1t true7--that lack of sympathy, one with another, Is at the root of most of the problems of society and government.
 The world is growing toward broth erhood. and our nation is leading the way. There is more altruism in this country than anywhere else in the world. and more today than there ever has been before There Is more recog- hilton of the kinship that exists be- tween us, more thought about the questions which concern a common hu- n.anity than at any preceding time. The Tabor organization Is part of this great movement of the masses toward closer fellowship. It has worked wonders in the past and its work is only com menced.
 The labor organization helps those outside of 1t as its members because the increased wages and improved con- Attions are shared by non-uion men as well aa by union men.
 Do not understand me to say that q labor organization is perfect; "the kfng can do no wrong" can no more De spoken of a group than of indi- wtduais. The labor organization is romposed of men; its affairs are con- trolled by buman beings. and human beings are not perfect All that man touches Is stained with mans inner zecttons, and his frailty can be traced
