SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

War OF the Future.
Inventors say they'll find way
OF scattering terror through a foe
BY sending shot to any spot
That they can reach by radio.
No warrior bold need then behold
The carnage over mound and ditch.
From miles away he'll start the fray
BY simply turning on a switch.
When cities burn and children turn
From lifeless mothers left behind,
Far from the scene he'll rest serene
VIII not all this be most refined.
