now sHoNrs WON HIS WIFE.

That Mr.. Shonts has a habit OF ac-
comprising TO the queens taste what nc
sets out to do, is illustrated by two Incl
dents furnished by his career.
As young men will do. there came a
time when he fell in love with a young
lady. She was the daughter Of General
Francis NJ. Drake afterwards Governor
of Iowa) and a musical enthusiast.
Somehow, Shonts got il into his head
that to win her he would havs to become
prohcient in music, and. nothing daunted
By the circumstance that from his earliest
boyllood he had never been able TO carry
a tune or distinguish one note from an
other, he set resolutely to work to master
the art It was hard work. but he kept
at Il, and before long he was being com
tlimented BY Miss Drake on his unsus-
pecfed accomplishment. Still later he
was rewarded for al his trouble By gain
ing from the young lady's lips the word
he ionged most to hear. To this day.

has only two-the other is work.

THEODORE P. sHoNTs, chairmaa
and executive head of the Isthlnian

Il and executive head of the Isthnian
Canal Commission, soon received
this word from Mr.. Roosevelt, and he,
IN turn, lost no time in passing it on
70 John +. Stevens, chief engineer of the
Commission and his right-hand man.
After many weary months of preparation
and of waiting for Congress TO deter
mine the type of canal. these two men
now have well under way the actual con-
struction work connected with the biggest
Engineering job ever undertaken by man,
and along the whole length of the canal
route the dirt is flying with characteristic
American energy.
1t is peculiar fact that until both Mr..
Shonts and Mr.. Stevens were selected
for their present work, their existence
was undreamed of by the great Ameri-
can public, which now has their names
on its, lips daily.
When the President determined to re-
organize the Canal Commission he nat
urally looked about for the proper man
to head it. Elihu Root refused the task;
he was welded to the law. Henry c.
Prick did not want it; he had already
done his work. One day Paul Morton,
then in the cabinet as Secretary of the
Navy, suggested the name of Theodore
P. Shonts, friend of his.
As the good old expression has it, the
President took to Mr.. Shonts at once,
and when the latter frankly stated that
he would not consider taking the posi-
ton unless he could have full authority,
and his judgment would be final in all
matters wherein there was a difference
of opinion, that settled it Mr.. Shonts
was straightway offered the position un-
der this condition, and as promptly sc-
cepted, thus leaping from obscurity, as
president of third-rate railroad, to in
ternational prominence, as executive head

vice-president Of the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific.
His greatest engineering feat was ac-
n complished while he was in the employ

road. At the same time he had his most
thrilling adventure, or, rather, series of
adventures.
It was in 1900 the year that he went
with the Great Northern as principal as
sistant engineer, that he undertook to
get the road across the Cascade Noun
tains and Washington State. To find
pass in the mountains through which the
road could be run, and TO locate the line,
Engineer Stevens disappeared one day in
the wilderness with two Indian guides
and pack mule. There befell adventure
sufficient in scrambling up mountains,
skirting yawning precipices, treading vir-
gin territory; but on top of all this the
guides turned deserters and the pack
mule lay down and gave up the ghost.
Imagine yourself in an untamed coun-
try under such circumstances. Would
you push on inirepidly? That is just
what John F. Stevens did, and he not
only discovered Stevens Pass (named
after him by grateful employer. but
in addition located the line so admirably
that it remains unchanged to this day.
This bit Of strenuous endeavor made
Mr.. Stevens chief engineer Of the road
five years after going with it, and some
time later he became its general manager.
As such he did much TO make the road

the Great Northern he went to the Rock
