But railroad would cost a mint
of money the commodore said.
1 don't care what it costs; / am
going to build that road replied AS
pinwall.
Sure enough, he was soon risking
practically all of his fortune in the
construction of the Panama railroad
Almost everybody thought he was
crazy to put money into such an en-
terprise down there, especially as
there would have to be two landings
of freight and two changes for pas
sengers. But Aspinwall went coolly
ahead with his task, and when it was
completed he was just about the hap
piest man in the new world-not so
much because the road was at last
done and running, but because his
friends had named the Atlantic termi-
nal Of the road Aspinwall in honor OF
it's builder.
After Mr.. Aspinwall retired from
active business there were some in
cidents in his career which led his
friends to believe that, from a finan-
cial point of view, his association with
the Panama railroad had not been as
profitable as it should have been But
when Mr. Aspinwall was asked about
his interest in that property he was
accustomed to reply that, in the first
place, the building of the road justi-
fed his prediction, although everybody
said that it was a risky thing for a
man who had been exclusively occu-
pied in shipping to go into the rail-
road business: and, in the next place,
he did have some personal pride in
the fact that the eastern terminal,
which was an artificial harbor, had been
named for him for by reason of that
name he would always be identified
with the building of the Panama rail-
road the name would serve as a mem
orial.
"A few years after Mr.. Aspinwall's
! death the Frenchmen undertook to
build a Panama canal and one of the
first things they did was to change the
name of the eastern terminal and OF
the road from Aspinwall to Colon, by
which name it is now known. / have
always been reioiced that that substi-
tuition was not made until after the
death Of Mr.. Aspinwall I know he
would have been grieved greatly had
it occurred in his lifetime"

THE STANDARD OF LIYING.

GONE persons say that if people live as they
~ used to do, if they we're more economical, if
they got down to bed rock" they would not find
the cost of living so high They argue that people
arc living beyond their means and that they are
extravagant To certain extent this is true, but
if persons returned TO the former ways of living
that would mean step backward in civilization,
2 retrogradation.
The first question persons considering this mat
fer-the lowering of the standard of livng-would
be apt to ask is whether il is necessary. People
vil not lower their standard of living without pro-
hest and they certainly will protest loudly if they
are convinced that there is no substantial reason
why they should make the unpleasant sacrifice.
There are many whose standard of living is al
sready low. II could not be much lower and per-
them 20 exist. The figures from various states
owing the small wages paid women in various
o1iuStries would indicate a standard of living that
.ould be low enough TO suit the most pessimistc

SHIPPING MAN WHO SHORTE NED TRADE ROUTE THOUSANDS


The last survivor of that consid-
cradle group of men who were inti-
mately associated with Commodore
Vanderbilt in his business enterprises
was G. c. Clarke, who died in 1910
He was, also. the first man to take
executive position under the Commo-
dore when he transferred his business
activities from steamboats, to rail-
roads.
A contemporary of Commodore Van
derbilt, and for many years leader
in American shipping, was Commo-
dore William H. Aspinwall, who built
the Panama railroad. Mr.. Clarke also
knew Aspinwall well, he having been
brought into close business and per-
sonal relations with him during a
period of many years.
Il often heard Commodore Wander
bilt speak In the highest terms of the
courage which William II. Aspinwall
displayed when he conceived the plan
of constructing a railroad across the
lsthmus Of Panama and undertook, in
1850. to make that plan a reality Mr..
Clarke once said to me.
AT that time the only practicable
way to get to California from any Of
the eastern seaboard towns, which
we're wild with excitement over the
stories told of great gold deposits in
the territory, was by ship chartered
to make the long trip around the
Horn Commodore Vanderbilt also at
tempted to establish a short route 10
and from the goldfelds across Nicara-
qua and for a time he maintained IT,;
but Aspinwalls railroad quickly
knocked the commodores route out.
"At the time the commodore was
planning to utilize the Nicaragua
route, he met Mr.. Aspinwall, and the
two fell to talking about the profitable
traffic to and from the goldfelds.
Commodore said Aspinwall, 4
am shipping man and naturally
would be interested in utilizing some
Of my vessels for the purpose of trans
portation between New York and
California But l am going to do that
only temporarily. ! am satisfied that
there is only one way by which quick
passage from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast can be secured
"The commodore asked what way
could be getter than the Nicaragua
route.
Why, simply build a railroad
across the Isfhmus of Panama" said
Aspinwall IT is only forty miles wide
and there is a good harbor at Panama.
In that way transportation can be
carried from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific in about two hours time

WHISPERS AND PRESIDENCY.

Washington Herald.
Let us pause for a moment, amid the
turbulence caused by the insurgents
and the progressives and the fight for
the Presidential domination, TO con-
slider the important part which
whiskers may play in the final out
come. We are moved to these serious
considerations because the whiskers OF
Senator Kern, of Indiana, who is mem
toned as a candidate, have been the
subject of some humorous remark.
II so happens that no Democratic
candidate for President in fifty or
sixty years has worn an actual full
beard. Douglas was smooth shaven,
and Mcclellan wore only a mustache
when nominated in 1854.
Seymour was smooth shaven when
the candidate in 1868, and the Greeley
beard was like that of a goat, far be-
low the chin, leaving the face absolute
" clean. Tilden's face as a candidate
was without hirsute adornment, and
Hancock had a mustache and goatee,
but smooth-shaven cheeks. Grover
I Cleveland had only a mustache, and
1 Bryan has ever been as smooth faced
as a priest. Parker lacked a beard
in the 1904 campaign. and Bryan con-
/ tinued clerical IN appearance in his
last fight.
On the other hand. most of the Re
publican Presidents since 1860 have
had boards. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes
Garfield, and Harrison were all full
bearded men, while Roosevelt and
Taft were each satisfied with a
mustache. William Mckinley was the
-. !. Il
Dental candidate since 1860.
Every Republican candidate wearing
beard was elected save Blaine, and

SOCIAL SERVICE IN CHURCHES.

SOCIAL SERVICE IN CHURCHES
The Living Church (Episcopal)
The idea Of Social Service" has
swept over the Christian world in re-
cent years That shows that Christians
are learning the lesson. The test of the
reality of the spiritual life is seen to
consist in what il leads one to do for
others. In the past half century there
has been a real spiritual awakening
in the Church; and the result Of it
has been, not pillar saints, but en-
deavors to protect and nourish the
souls and bodies Of men, women, and
children all about us. SO have we
walked to the evil Of child labor. 10
the enormity Of the exploitation of
lust, TO the seriOueness of the econ
omic condition that has kept thous-
ands of our brothers and sisters in
hopeless poverty, and to all the So
cial evils in our very midst.
And just because our spiritual
awakening has been real and true,
we have entered into mortal combat
with these gigantic forces of evil, and
the power of the Christian conscience
is beginning to be feared by those who
love social order in which all this
has come into being. New values In
humanity have become established.
The man-even the pillar of society
and OF the Church--who has multi
piled his millions by apathy toward
those whom he had the opportunity to
uplift and did not, has lost our respect.
That is what is behind the changed
public opinion with relation to multi
millionaires, who were once unreas-
onably worshipped in spite Of their
badness and are now unreasonably de-
spised in spite of their goodness. The
necessity that spirituality should
make good in ones relations with
ones fellow-men has somehow seized
upon the American people in our own
day; and it is right viewpoint
