A Boss! By No Means!

Not being boss, of course it is the colonels priv
lege to select Oscar S. Straus for the Progressive
the candidates for the Progressive State ticket to IN
struct the California Progressves to renomnate Gov
Johnson his old runnng-mate, and to inform the I'LL
nois Progressives in detail as to their duty Having
forsworn politics for some weeks naturally the
colonel performs these congenial tasks in the dis
charge of his daily abors as literary man. The po-
lticai pilgrims who gather Oyster Bay are merely
taking lessons in grammar and style of picking up
casual orders from their leader in the course OF dis
cussons on poetry and the uplft of the South Amer

AT the Gate.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY.

A soul clamored for admission at the gate of St
Peter.
There was no response.
Finally, the Soul cried out the Saints name
voice replied: Friend why do you call on me p
Because have escaped from the world of men
and long to lead the life of the spirit"
"The life of the spirit may be led anywhere and
at any time Why did you not lead it in the world
tof men?"
For few moments the soul was silent with as
tonishment. At last it replied: "In the world of
men had to live men lived"
There souls about you that lived accord
ing to the spirit
Il did not know thenl," the soul answered.
"And yet you met them every day."
The soul stood rebuked. But what shall do p
it cried at last. Now that have left the body there
is no place for me to find rest and peace but here"
"You must find rest and peace within yourself. We
cannot give it to you. If you came here, you would
only be disturbing force. You would distract the
other souls from their work"
From their work" the soul gasped. 81 thought
there was work beyond the world of men,"
There is always service. 1t is the only real work.
All other striving that men call work is waste"
"But in the world l worked"
What did you work for?"
"For success among men and for honor"
"Why did you work for those things?"
Because longed for happiness
And did they make you happy?"
"Oh. no. could not understand why. But al
ways was disappointed l was glad when found
it was all over. longed to come here
But what preparation have you made?"
Il do not understand"
IF you did not know how to live in the world of
men, why do you think you can live where the ex-
he The
is higher?"
The soul grew humble. "If you will only teach me
l will try to learn,
you must teach yourself"
"But how can Iteach myself now: 1t is too late"
You must go back"
"To the world of men," the soul cried in horror
"You must seek body and make it, not the
means of selfgratifcaton the abode of evil thoughts
and gnoble feeling, but the temple of the spirit You
must learn how to be happy"
But tried-every day tried to be happy"
"You tried"
The soul was downcast perhaps did not know
what happiness really was" 1t fingered At last,
in despair, it said: "Tell me what must do"
"You must find your real self by giving up your
imaginary self"
What then is my imaginary self"
"All that you regarded as precious in your days
in the world of men, all that you strove for so des-
perately. Then for the first time your eyes will be
open the eyes of the spirit Instead of seeing less,
you will see Instead of blaming and envying
and hating you will feel patience and pity and love-
"But it will be hard for me-" the soul exclaimed in
anguish.
1T will be easy. The way you chose before was
the hard way"
"And it will be long?" the soul asked. "Will it
be for years and years, like my other life earth?"
There will be no time
mo time? | do not understand"
Time is creation of men, When once you have
found your real self you will be part of the uniyer-
sal harmony. You will belong to eternity"
"Oh. let me begin now" said the soul
In the atmosphere there was faint ripple like
Ia smile.
TT is for you to choose the moment"

One of Chicago's policewomen is so timid that a
policeman has to escort her from the elevated rail-
