Work.

Let me but do my work from day to
day,
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In roaring market place or tranquil
room.
Let me but feel it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me astray:
"This is my work, my blessing, not my
doom;
OF all who live l am the one by whom
This work can best be done in the right
way"
Then shall l see it not o great nor
small
To suit my spirit, and to prove my
powers;
Then shall l cheerful greet the laboring
hours,
And cheerful turn when the long shad-
ows fall
At eventide to play and love and rest,
Because l know, for me, my work is best.

NEW BOND ISSUES
FEATURE OF MARKET

NEW YORK, Mar. 6.-The notable
feature of the financial markets of
the last week was the large number of
new bond issues sold to the great ban
king houses, and, by them, offered for
public subscription.
Reports of large orders for new
equipment from the railroads and de-
tails of extensive designs for i'm
provements revived confidence in the
maintenance of industrial activity
The new bond issues were sold ar
prices that show the necessity for at
tractive terms to enlist new capital.
The yield on highly secured bonds is
still much higher than the current in
terest rate on time loans. Special
efforts are made to secure foreign
subscriptions for the new bonds, and
here again a low subscription price is
a necessary incident to success.
The sustained volume of merchan-
disc imports is not yet overbalanced by
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-07

there was one dealer selling liquor by
the drink to every 142 inhabitants and,
in the latter, to every 200 inhabitants.
The number OF inhabitants to every
dealer in Philadelphia was 761, and in
Boston 1873. The other cities having
less than 200 inhabitants to each deal
er were Galveston 134; East ST.
Louis 043), Mobile Q53), Houston
O5S), Hoboken 06S), Sacramento,
Calf. QS8), San Antonio Q79), La
Crosse, Wisconsin QS3), Springfield
H., GSS), and West Hoboken G91)
The smallest number of saloons in
to population is shown for
the cities of Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts. and the largest for those of
Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
In comparing the number Of retail
liquor dealers in 141 cities reporting
for both 1907 and 1905, it is shown that
there was a decrease of six per cent in
the number of saloons in 1907. The
decrease was general in nearly every
