Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Conversational Nature.
I wonder what he talks about,
The bee In yonder clover?
Is he a creature filled with doubt,
Or but singing rover?
I wonder what they have to say,
The kline so softly lowing,
Or fowl that lift barnyard lay,
The pigs who grunt while growing?
They paused in matters they discussed
And said, in naughty humor,
You're not supposed to know. You're
just
The ultimate consumer"

Everybody fishes some,"

Only got skate.
As the seasons go and come
Still the custom clings.
Everybody fishes some,"

In his testimony, the Princeton

Roosevelt has invented a scheme by
which he hopes to control the opin-

If granted to one President" he
clared, 1.-The power cannot reasonably
be denied later presidents and prob
ably will not be, for the step is too
radical to avoid being fixed as a pre-
cedent for a long while to come"
The educator pleaded for a "heal-
thy skepticism toward the existence
Of an emergency justifying revolu-
