A poor son of Erin died and was

found his way barred by Saint Peter.

Peter, will we tell me ye are not
guilty Of any great SIM"

"Well," says Paddy, thinking hard,

"That was a great SIM" said Saint

Paddy turned sorrowfully away, but
before he had gone for Saint Peter

listened in her turn, hoping to be able
to distinguish n or the other Of

was the faint sound of a voice which

that the voice was drawing gradually
nearer, and resolving itself into that
of a perlpatetic newsbOy, who was
vending his wares and shouting out

that when the treaty Is signed the COM

relieved at having the matter sum-

The said cap was, as usual, consid-

consequence for the alarm proved
false. and the cab, which had at first
