SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON, Championship. A plain deal does not sat days: You've got to be a champion and in- vite the world to gaze. A champion at polo, or a champion at base ball, Or tennis, golf or swimming, or most anything at all. ¥A champion in the market, or a cham- 1 pion in the ring, A champion in music if you even want to sing, A champion on the ballroom floor to! take a damcing prize, {A champion in science, if your tend- i ency is wise.
