TIE CONQUEROR OF THE POLE.

Let the guns OF the fort and the fee
thunder out,
And the bells in the churches all ring.
The drums and the busles of victory play
And the school children rally and sing
While the wireless is flashing the news in
the air
And the cable down under the sea,
Old Glory's unfurled on the top of the
world
BY son + the brave and the free!
He entered the stronghold of Winter and
Death
Where darkness and frost were his
foes;
He opened the ice-guarded portals and
solved
The riddle supreme of the SHOWS.
His feet were the first on the desert OF
white.
Ills eyes We're the first to behold
The marvellous marriage Of morning and
night
In .he crystalline kingdom of cold
foes
Columbia welcomes her son
Tho flaming aurora encircles his brow
He fought with the norther ana won.
Oh, tears for the others who suffered and
starved
And persisted but failed OF the goal;
But cheers for the man who has con-
Quered the SHOWS
And planted the flag on the Pole,
