ONLY ONE IN HEAVEN
ST. PETER SHY ON LAWYERS
Western Senator Tells Senator Plat
New story-In Which Politicians
May Possibly Find 4 Moral.

Senator Platt of Connecticut is op-
posed to the admission of the south
| western territories as full fedged
states of the Union and is Industrious
| ly endeavoring to convert other sena-
| tors to his way of thinking. The 9TH
| er day he caught western senator In
| the cloak-room and Mr.. Platt went at
him vigorously with objections to the
admission of the three territories to
statehood.
Its no use to talk to me" said the
westerner MY state was in the
same hole little while ago, and my
| constituents won't stand for the st.
Peter con game
"The-er-what? inquired Mr.. Platt
doubfully.
Never heard of that? Why, 1t was
this way: Once upon n time, before
corporations grew into trusts, there;
was an honest lawyer who got into
heaven. Well, he wasn't much on the
high notes of the golden harps, and
his soul was somewhat bored, so he
started out to see If he couldn't start
n litigation In heaven. The first man
he met was st. Joseph.
"'St. joe he said. sympathetically.
you get mighty rough deal in this
game, don't you?

mildly.
"'Why, according to legal procedure,
your seniority would entitle you to the
job of doorkeeper, with all the little
graft on the siue. Peter has just done
you out of 1t ALL
"'That's n fact said the good st.
Joseph, after some deliberation. SO
he has, but how can l frame 1t up to.
get back the job|
EASY enough said the lawyer
You just leave it all in my hands, and
I'll get out an injunction that win
keep Peter from opening the door,
with due form the lawyer applied
and got his writ of injunction. the
pearly gate shut and stayed so. while
the crowd outside was immense. But
Peter was also next the game, and he
went into court and alleged that ST..
Joseph had secured the only lawyer in
heaven, and that as he was entitled to
counsel he asked that the injunction
be temporarily vacated and the case
postponed until another another law
yer appeared. This was granted and
Peter went back to the door. But af-
ter that no lawyer ever passed the
heavenly portal.
Senator" concluded the westerner,
gravely, don't play Peter.

In an interview with the Associated Press

unless he was able to effect an arrangement
in Washington satisfactory to Colombia in
regard to affairs on the isthmus the United
States would have to fight the entire CO.
iombian people. and that it would be a
second Boer war;
''Ths morning Admiral Coghlan inform
ed me officially" said Gen. Reyes, "that
the United States would prevent the land
ing of Colombian troops on any part of the
isthmus. / promised Admiral Coghlan that
Colombia would not take such action until
reached Washington, whittier / am pre-
ceeding, via Port IAmon and New Orleans.

efforts at Washington failed to bring about
some arrangement concerning the present
situation on the isthmus satisfactory to CO.
lombia the United States would have to
fight the entire Colombian people, and that
it would be a second Boer war
