The refunding has been successful from
every standpoint. Holders of the old
bonds, SIS, As and SIS of 1908, 1907 and
1904, respectively, have voluntarily Of

Edward Markham's Poem.
Me poem IS as follows

The poem is as follows:
We stand here at the end of mighty years,
And a great wonder rushes on the heart.
While cities rose and blossomed into dust
While shadow lines of kings were blown
to air,
What was the purpose brooding on the
world,
Through the large leisure of the cen
turtles?
And what the eEd-failure or victory?
10, man has laid his sceptre on the stars,
And sent his spell upon the continents,
The heavens confess their secrets and
the stones,
Silent as God. publish their mystery.
Man calls the lightnings from their secret
place,
To crumple up the spaces of the world,
And snatch the jewels from the flying
hours.
The wild white smoking horses of the sea
Are startled by his thunders. The world
powers
Crowd round to be the lackeys of the
king.
His hand has torn the veil of the Great
Law,

That far first whisper on the ancient
deep;
The law that swings Arcturus on the
North
And hurls the soul of man upon the way,
But what avail. o builders of the world,
Unless ye build a safety for the soul?
Man has put harnes on Leviathan
I, IN \ ;c, r;orflI Id 10
And yet the periIs of the street remain
Out of the whirlwind of the cities rise
Lean Hunger and the Worm of Misery,
The heart-break and the cry of mortal
tears.
But bark, the bugles blowing on the
peaks
And bark. a murmur as of many feet,
The cry of Captains, the divine alarm!
Look! the last son of Time comes hurrying
The strong young Titan of Democracy!
With swinging step he takes the open
road.
In love with the winds that beat his hairy
breast.
Barring his sunburnt strength to all the
world,
He casts his eyes around with Joyian
glance
Searches the tracks of old tradition.
