GRAND OPERA HOUSE
a MIsMANAeED HEAVEN.

DEFoRE the gate of heaven there
~ stood
~ One who had cheated when he could.
He'd run trust on earth.
Where he'd been worth
More millions than q flg has seeds.
He had been sued for lawless deodk
At least score OF times;
But, though twas proved that crimes
Had been committed In his interest
And under his direction.
Though juries found him guilty, In bis
breast
There never lodged detection.
whenever any court decided
Against him he appealed.
His doom was sealed
Time and again, but he derided
The sealers, ever sure that he,
Somehow, somewhere,
Could find judge who would declare
That In the law
There was flaw
And therefore set him free.
One day this man appeared at heavens
gate,
And. having been informed about his fate,
He smiled a knowing smile
And stood around awhile
Instead OF starting for the realm below.
At length st. Peter asked. "Why don't
you go?''
"Go? he replied. go where?
You don't expect me TO report
Down there
Where Satan holds his court!
Why. / intend.
My white haired friend,
To hang around this place.
! shall appeal the case"
You must depart" the saint directed,
"Or you will forthwith be elected.
You can't appeal from my decislon.'
With fine derision
He whose appeal was thus denied
Drew himself up In all his pride
OF five feet seven
And. frowning. turned to say.
This is punk old way
To run q heaven!'
