NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE The Last Proof Reader When the story of Mammon is printed And the binder has laid down his tools; When none of the facts have been stinted— And the deeds of the wise and the fools Have been written by prophets and sages— And bound in the rawhide of man; Then God will blue-pencil its pages, As only the Almighty can. He will see the proud kings of the ages As they rot in their filigreed graves, And measure their virtues withguages That he’ll use for both masters and slaves; While princes whose caskets were freighted With laurel wreaths, honors and flags, May find that their souls have been rated ’Neath beggar man buried in rags. So in the long it is better To lead our lives humbly contrite; Find truth, live up to the letter, With hearts free from rancor and spite; For the great proof-reader is tracing Man’s record straight back to the flood, And we hope for a merciful placing In the book that is printed in blood. —New York Herald.
