Conaidurablo building is now

Wo expected to get nothing out
of the war and wo are getting it,
multiplied many times.
Laborers in Germany receive
ntit more than ten dollars per
month while women work for ten
cents per day.
Birth control is doomed. The
poor don't beliovo in it and the
rich ncced the income tax exemp
tion. The woman who once spanked
her son forsmoking cigurettos
now spanks her grandson fdr
stealing her cigarettes.
Our idea of a rich man is one
who can smoke fifteen cent cigarH
without wishing it had been giv
en to him.
The average t $27 cow would
certainly be Btuck up if she knew
she was wearing $05 worth of
shoes on her back at the present
prices.
We don't know whether the
girl of today has lis much back
bone as th n girl of our boyhood
days, but she certainly shows
more.

000 people, day by day, year after year, in nearly 40 different com

St. Peter stood guard at the Golden Gate,
With a solemn mein and air sedate,
When up to the top of the Golden Stair
A tunti aud a woman ascending there,
Applied for admission. They came and
stood
Before St. Peter, so great and good,
In hopes the City of f'eace to win
To aslc St. Peter to let them In.
The woman was tall aud lank and thin,
With a scraggy beardlet upon her chiu.
The man was short and thick and stout.
His stomach was built so it rounded out;
His face was pleasant, and all the while
He wore a kindly and gentle smile.
The choirs in the distance the echoes
awoke,
And the man kept still while the wouau
spoke.
"Oh, thou who guarded the gate,"
said she,
"Wc come hither beseeching thee
To let us enter the heavenly land,
And ptay our harps with the angel band.
Of me, St, Peter, there Is no doubt;
Thcro's nothing from heaven to bar me
out
Iv'e been to meeting three times a week
And almost always i d rise and speak,
"I've told sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way:
I've told my ticlgbors I've told 'em all
'Ilout Adam aud Kvc and the primeval
fall;
I've showed them what they'd have todo
If they'd pass in with the chosen few;
I've marked their path of duty clear,
Iald out the plan for their whole career.
"I've talked and talked to 'cm loud and
long,
l'or my lungs arc good and my voice is
strong.
bo, good tt. Tetcr, you'll clearly ice
is open 10 me.
This gala Isn't kept as it ought to be;
You ought to stand right by the opening
there
And never sit down In that easy chair.
"And say, St. Peter, my sight Is
dimmed,
But I don't like the way your whiskers
are trimmed;
They're cut too wide and outward toss,
They'd look better narrow, cut straight
across,
Well, we must be going, our crowns to
win,
So open, St. Peter, we'll pais Inl"
So St. Peter sat and stroked bis staff,
rile t'nle of llrnvrn is ntim
Hut, my old man, I regret to say,
Hasn't walked exactly in the
narrow
swears, and grave
wnv
He smokes aud he
And I don't know whether he'll pass or
not.
"He never would pray with on earnest
vim,
Or go to n revival or join a hymn,
So I had to leave him In sorrow there,
While I, with the chosen, united In
prayer.
He ntc what the pantry chose to afford,
While I, In my purity, sang to tlicl.ord.
Aud if cucumbers were all he got,
It's a chance If be merited them or not.
"Hut Oh, St. Peter, I love him so,
To the pleasures of heaven please let
him go,
I've done enough a saint I've been;
Won't that atone? Can't you let him iu?
Ily my grim gospel I know 'tis so,
That the unrepentant must go below,
Hut Isn't there some way ynu can see,
That he may enter who's dear to tue.
"It's a narrow gospel by which I pray
Ihij.thc chfxcn cxiwet to find some way
Of coaxing or fooll.ig, or bribing you,
So that their relations can amble thru.
And say, St. Peter, it seems to me,
Hut in spite of his office he had to laugh,
rlicii said with a fiery gleam in his eye:
Who's tending this gateway? You or I?"

And then he arose in his stature tall
And pressed a button upon the wall,
And said to the Imp who answered the
bell:
'Hscort this lady around to Bit"
The man stood stilt as a piece of stone;
Stood sadly, gloomily, there alone.
A life long settled idea he had,
That his wife was good and he was bad.
He thought if the woman went down
below.
That he would certainly have to go
That If she went to the regions dim,
There wasn't a ghost of a show for him.
Slowly he turned by habit bent
To follow where the woman went,
St. Peter standing on duty there,
Observed the top of his head was bare.
He called the gentleman back aud said:
"Prlend, bow long have you been wed?''
"Thirty years,' (with a weary sigh)
And then he thoughtfully asked him
"Why?"
St. Peter was silent. With head bent
down
lie raised his hand and scratched his
crown.
Then seemed a different thought to
take;
Slowly, half to himself, he spake:
"Thlrtv vcars with that woman there?
No wonder that a man hasn't any hair!
Swearing Is wicked; smoke's no good.
He smoked and swore I should think
he wouldt
"Thirty years with that tongue no sharp!
Ho! Angtl Gabriell Give him a harp!
A jeweled harp with a golden strlngl
Good sir, pass in where the angels sing!
Gabriel give him a scat alone
One with a cushion, up near the throne!
Call up some angels to sing their best
Let him enjoy the music and rest.
"See that on the finest ambrosia he
feeds;
He's had about all the ell he needs;
It isn't hardly the thing to do,
To roast him on earth and the future
too.t'
They gave him a harp with golden
trln
tit
And he said as he entered the
us.
A L'llttcrlni? robe and a txilr of wines.

"Well, this beats cucumbers, onywoyl"
Aud so the Scripture has come to pass,
That, "The last shall be first and the
first shall be last."
