HAD NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT
Enjoyed" Poor Health on Earth
Mas Unhappy in Paradise.

Good old st. Peter, tuking Il stroll
through the realm OF Paradise. OBJ
served a middle-aged woman, "A very
recent arrival, whose expression be-
tokened anything but happiness. In
stantly he approached her TO inquire
the cause.
my good woman" he began, you
don't look as though you were enjoy
ing yourself. Your golden harp Is I'M
touched ut your side. Your crown Of
glory Is not on straight, yet seemingly
you do not care. In fact your whole
appearance and demeanor suggest de-
spair rather than rapture. Don't you
know where you are, my good soul?
This is heaven"
The woman looked up at st. ePter
with a lack-luster eye.
"Aias, / know It," she said, in hollow
tones, but it is not heaven to me-
"What? Why, my dear madam, what
-"
~ can't help it; it's true. When /
was on earth l got my chief enjoyment
out of talking about my ailments,
swapping symptoms with the woman
next door. Oh, you cannot realize the
happy hours / passed. And now-and
now"
But, my dear SOUL" expostulated
the saint, there are no ailments In
heaven"
The unhappy shade heaved a heart
rending sigh.
"That's just the trouble, I'm per-
fectly WELL" she said II haven't a
single topic for conversation."-Puck.

UN TELEGRAMA HISTORICO

FL escandalo Hoffmann-G Grimm, ha
producido intensa sensation en- los
pueblos aliados; sensation vivisima
en- Suiza, y es probable que no la ha-
yam recibido con indiferencia en- los
PASSES g~ermanicos.
La pe~rsonalidad notoria de los pro-
tagonistas concede mayor g%ravedad
al asunto. FL diputado Roberto Girl

y uno de los patriarcas del marxismo.

~republica, y jefe del departamento
p%olitico (ministerio de Negocios Ex-
tranjeros.)

fista. I'm dia aviso telegraficamen-

ell Comite de Obreros y Soldados es-
taban de acuerdo para concertar la

Aunque Hoffman, parezca trasmi-
tr sus impresiones a Grimm, el tono
de seguridad con que afirma que "A

cion ofensiva contra Russia y "sus
