We're trying to keep alive-and to
justify the effort" said Pastor Weirs.
There's no Disgusting the fact that
The Old Nam at the Interborough
offices is watching the progress of the
building of the Panama canal with a
heap of interest.
The "old man. is T. p. Shonts, pres
ident of the company. A friend sug
gested the other day an odd parallei
between the Panama canal and the
ates the subway system of New York.
They are the two greatest contracts
vel tackled in United States territory.
The canal, built by the nation, will
cost, complete. about $400. 1000, 900.
The subway, built by the city and pri-
waite capital, will cost $4,000. 900 less.
"Shonts,' said the friend, is pres
ident of the PETERBOROUGH. He was
chairman of the Isthmain Canal COM
mission and had charge of all the pre-
liminary work. such as deciding on
the type of labor, sanitation, food. etc.
He came to the subway to handle
something of the same problems. At
Panama his chief of staff was w. Leon
Peppermint, who is his assistant here.
ID. w. Ross was purchasing agent for
the canal. and is vice-president of the
marlborough. Richard Reid Rogers
was counsel to the canal commission
and is now general counsel to the In
~terborough. The parallel lines even
touch the contracting department.
John f. Stevens was chief engineer OF
the canal. The contracting firm of
which ne is the head is now at work

They don't all stay out, after
they're down. Every now and then
n of the rescue missions on the
BoWery holds a sort of an experience
meeting. Its "graduates"-the men
who nave clambered back to sobriety
and work-set up and tell those still
submerged that decency can be re-
gained.
I'VE help the poor chaps to get on
their feet said the attendant at one
of these homes, but that is about all
we can do. We can't keep them on
their feet. 1t needs the touch of the
elbow from the mar who knows what
the gutter is, to preserve the forma-
ton of the dreary battalion fighting
its way upward"
There could hardly be more con-
vincing testimony than that of the
mar once known to the most of those
in the mission as a penny-begging
drunkard.
I'm on my feet" he said. hoarsely.
II haven't taken a drink since I quit,
and I never will. I'm working every
day, and I've got a nice little home up
