SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Last Circus Poster.
The last rose of Summer was lingering
there,
With proud salutation it perfumed the
air.
BY the beautiful garden in which it
had grown,
A series of pictures a billboard made
known.
There were wonderful visions who
danced on the breeze
And creatures grotesque 'mongst pic
torial trees.
Of the splendors which fade as old
joys they recall,
The last circus posters the saddest of all.
When the poisoning world was in
glory revealed,
With the sky for the great top above
the big field,
The circus which sent the parade
through the street
Brought the word which made Sum-
mer enchantment complete.
Extravagant colors which gayly I've
met
Are dulled; yet We love them and can
not forget.
Oh, last rose of Summer, your petals
must fall;
Yet the last circus posters the sad
dest of all.
Trying to Please Everybody.
you have some great ideas" said
the admiring friend.
TOO many, I'm afraid" confided
Senator Sorghum. Everybody whose
vote I need has some favorite idea
and doesn't hesitate to remind me that
in politics. as well as other professions,
this is the era of specialization"

NEW YORK, May 26.-Nine men in five planes seek to "circumnavi- gate" the world this summer to lower the Graf zeppelin's record.

WASHINGTON, D. o., May 26.- It is noticeable in discussions over the possible $9OO,OOO,OOo deficit in the Treasury that there is lack of definite recommendations for a tax increase from officials of the headquarters of either the Repub- lican or Democratic parties
 The new Congress meeting in December is almost equally divided politically.
 The session runs directly into the Presidential campaign.
 Increasing taxes at such a time is believed to be the cause of political leaders pondering consid- erably over the question.
 The Republican Tn e pendents, holding the balance of power at the next session, have called for a tax increase without support of the regulars of either major party who are in control of the House Ways and Means Committee and tax re- vision is doubtful.
