SPRING LONGING.

SPRING LONGING.
1 do not sigh for wealth fame.
do not ask a mansion grand,
l want no well known, noble name,
Nor mile mile of fertile land;
want not days of utter ease.
And yet l know what yearning- means,
For, though l do not long for these,
l want want plate of gTeens
This is a poignant, strong desire
1t comes in sprinStime, and. alas,
With yearning L am quite on fire
wish these dragging days would pass,
The things l long for come and go
Enticing are their various sheens;
l want to see the fresh grass grow.
j want want a plate of greens,
| want them fresh and tender, too,
With butter resting the top;
/ tell-you what I'd like to do
Just eat and eat and never stop.
My soul is, sick of bread and meat,
OF stews and rOasts of fats and leans;
And so to make my joy complete.
/ WANT want plate Of green's.

1T is FOUND

What an hour may bring. forth in polar contro-
versy, no man dare say. 1t seems pretty we'll agreed
thus far however that to Captain Amundsen, the red
haired and hardy Norwegian. belongs the fame of
having found the longsought bottom of the world.
With hve expeditions of trained explorers pressing
eagerly forward for the same goal there will be no
occasion for surprise if one more Of them hurry
in week or day hence with the news that he, too,
reached the neither pole. The fact is many of our
greatest discoveries particularly in science, have
been made almost at the same moment, yet indie
pendently,b by men far apart. Thus it was that the
planet Uranus was sighted by an English and by a
German astronomer simultaneously. Whethe, Captain
Scott and perhaps others also. arrived is yet to be
proved. In any event, shall doubtless escape such
a pickering followed the Arctic discovery few
seasons ago.
The vital fact is that the last of the earth's I'M
known and seemingly unapproachable spots has been
brought to light and that mans curiosity Of the globe
he inhabits is appreciably satisfaction This
is by no means to say that the days Of Sinbad are
over or that islands and enchanted forests

at one thing than another beckOns US; that is the
way the earth and man himself made.
Amundsen's feat. however. marks the closing chap

achievement and Peary's have dispelled many illu
sions. Time was, when the tips OF the earth were
