SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Claimants Bride,

The Cabman's Bride.
A husky taxicabber wed a prina donna
fair. Henceforth you must not work, ="
she said. MY income you shall share -
The taxicabber tried the life of indo-
lence so gay. And then he knelt be-
fore his wife and unto her did say:
"Oh, please don't make me try to be
a lizard.
Upon a lounge do not wish to rest.
I'd rather drive a buzz bus in a biz
And In a leather overcoat be dressed.
I do not wish to be dolled up and
charming.
I never yet have been inclined to
shirk.
I'll tackle trade or take chance on
farming
If you will only let me go to work" /"
The prima donna's angry face brought
terror to his heart. She cried, would
you with toll disgrace the splendor of
my art? Even pianist scorn who
labors with his hands," The taxicab-
Der. all forlorn, repeated his demands:
"Oh, please don't make me try to be
a lizard.
With patent leather pumps and pol
ished hair.
At driving taxicabs I was wizard.
cannot play the captive young and
fair.
The traffic cop, would view my vain
endeavor
With rude remarks and a sarcastic
smirk.
I'll step upon the gas and fly forever
If you do not consent to let me
work.

Spring.

A few more days of sunshine and
1t may be that people will be safe in
singing spring songs and writing
touches Of green in the country and
the gardens Of the city and one may
find white, blue and pink blossoms in
sheltered places, or those places which
get more sunlight and less north and
west wind than other places. Here
and there one sees the white flowers
Of the chickweeds and on wooded
south slopes the tall scapes Of saxa-
frage are up and the little white flow
ers haYe unfolded. A few bloodroot
plants are in flower and among dry
leaves where the sunlight is bright
and warm the white and blue blossoms
of hepatica may be found.
Trailing arbutus, which is the may
flower Of New England. still grows
on wooded, rocky hillsides, but this
pretty plant has become uncommon
ir the country near the city because
Of the cruelty and unreason Of men
and women. On the uplands and un-
der protection Of dry grass and sedge
some bluets are in bloom, and if you
are not country-bred and do not know
the bluets which used to spread them
selves over wide fields in the District.
it is that little four-petaled. cruciform
flower which is sometimes called
Innocence" sometimes called wild
forget t-me-not" and by some learned
and near-learned folk is called Hous-
tonia cerulea. 1t is a member Of the
madder family and a cousin Of the
partridge berry, a little trailing vine
whose white-veined leaves and crimson
berries have been with US through
the winter.
In moist places the early blue violet
or palmated violet is in bloom, and
the common violet, sweet white violet,
lance-leaved violet, the downy yellow,
the bird-foot and the dog-tooth violet
are making ready for their spring
appearance.
A few days Of sun and warmth and
the purple pealike flowers OF the
Judas tree will open. Already there
is a hint of color in the red naples.
and soon such dogwood and kalmia, or
mountain laurel" as the vandals Of
other years have spared will be ready
for the vandals of the spring OF 1922.

Has William Gibbs McAdoo turned

to head the democratic ticket in 1924?
His speech before the City Club In
Los Angeles might be taken to justify
either conclusion, or both. What we

American cities in their rapid growth

 The United States authorities die not know why Quintant had come tc America. They realized merely that he arrived for no good purpose and they had meant to arrest anc hold him for eytradition if requested for deportation as an undesirable alien anyway
 Only two men in America knew that Quntana had come to the United States for the purpose of re covering the famous "Flamine Jewel" stolen by him from the Grand Duchess Theodorica of Els thonia; and stolen from Quintana, ir turn, by a private soldier in ar American forestry regiment, on leave in Paris. The soldiers name, prob ably, was Michael Clinch
 One of the men who knew why Quintana might come to America was James Darragh, recently of the Military Intelligence. but now passing as d nOlQ-up man nn1er the name Ot Hal Smith, and actually in the em- ployment of Clinch at his disrepu- table "hotel' at Star Pond in the North Woods.
 The other man who knew why Quintana had come to America was Emanuel Sard, a Levantine diamond broker of New York, Quintana s agent in America.
 Now, as the October days passed without any report of Quintana's de- tention, Darragh, known as Hal Smith at Clinch's dump, began to suspect that Quintana had already slid into America through the meshes of the police.
 If so, this desperate international criminal could be expected at Clinch' s under some guise or other, piloted thither by Emanuel Sard
 So Hal Smith, whose duty was to wash dishes, q 10 chores. and also to supply Clinch's with mountain beef"-or deer taken llegally-made it convenient to prowl every day in the vicinity of the Ghost Lake Road.
 He was perfectly familiar with Emanuel Sard's squat features and
