The Spartan

The Spartan, sorely smitten,
kicked up no angry coil, but MUIR
INJURED, ut was written that should
have boil; and now said boil is
growing, its throbbings never stilled,
to all the people showing a prophe-
cy fulfilled. l new not like kitten,
nor Whitney like a mare; things
come as they were written, and man
must grin and bear" l have a boil
that's throbbing with zeal beyond
compare, and you may hear me sob
bing around city square. l have
no Spartan training to cope with
such plight, and, bitterly complain
ing, | walk the floor all night. And
neighbors come and chide me, and
protests wildly make; they hate to
live beside mel keep their cows
awake. And peelers come and tell
me I'll have to can my wall, or with
their clubs they'll quell me and run
me off to Jail. I'm civilized so vast
ly, in cotton wool SO reared, that
every ache seems CHASTITY and makes
me rend my beard. And so l view
the Spartan with something like
disdain, though nothing can dis
hearten that martyr in his pain. Oh,
he is sorely smitten, with boils upon
his brow, but says he, ut was writ
ten. so why kick up a row."

Amundsen had not decided tonight
whether he would carry out his plan

trip would put an unnecessary
strain on a ship that has so much
flying before her in the next few
years.
The explorer plans to leave for

then will proceed to Seattle, where
the Maude is to be drydocked April s..
sens visit to Washington is to COM

His radio plan at present consists of
flashing reports from afrplane to the

cate with Nome, Alaska, and Nome will
relay to the powerful station at St.

Mr.. Pinchot declared that he had
received assurances that united par

Mr.. McSparran said ''the terrific
