It was at this point that Oakes Amoe—the moving aptrit In the Promotion and the real builder of the great enterprise-—-pat a mone Ment to perpetuate bis mem Upon the eminence factng the tracks stood the striking granite Memorial where every passenger could see and admire it, But alas, for the egotiam of men! Yoars passed and Oakes Ames died and the worms gnawed his Denes. There came a day when economy required that the rail road track should be straightened im order to shorten the distance and avoid heavy grades, The short cut was made and the old tracks Were taken up and the right of way abandoned. And now the massive rock pile that waa to keop the memory of Oakes Amos fresh every day in the finds of men stands fourteen miles away from the track. You may see from the main Ioe, far away on the rim of the horizon, a mere speck. With a glass you can make out ft fs an ar tifieial heap of stones. That i# Oakes Amos’ monument, given orer to the tangled wilderness. Pathetic reminder of man's puny efforts to project, by material evidence, his life and deeds to a future generation. eee But Oakes Ames is not forgotten by the world. dered in another way ‘This big man of a former time was more than a financier. He Was aa tnventor and manufacturer. He was the maker of the Ames shovel. One kind of shovel invented by him was the Ames No. 2, of raitroad shovel, which was especially dealgned for track purposes built for getting under the sides and ends of railroad ties, Ames also made a “tamper” for tamping earth and ballast and other tools contrived expecially for railroad work. Today everywhere.in the world the Ames tools are weed by men in the construction and maintenance of ratlroads. The lone rock pile at Sherman fs seldom called to the attention of the tourist. [t is forgotten of men But Oakes Ames ts remen Dered because he provided the world with something useful. “eee Few men are able to build for themselves monuments of gran tte with entablatures of brass and graven words of eulogy, yet every men can live in the thought and Myea of those who follow him. But he can so lve only as he is useful to men. He can be a pioneer and Diane the way for civilization some where. He can open a new road to commerce, or make a farm, or build & house, or dig a well, or plant a tree. He can train up a child who will be of use in the future time. He can write vomething of pieture something or say something that wtil help his fellows to bear their burdens. He can sing a song of hope that will breathe courage into droop ing hearts. He can face and fight the dragous of evi! and beat them back from the Bomes and haunts of mon. He can brightea aud biess the Hives of those made miserable by fear or misfortune. * Why, then, if men ¢an do theee things and live and grow in the lives of others, why should they seek an eminence and a pile of Stoaes, or a shape of bronze? . “* Make vo mistake, Every right-thinking man of woman wants to be well thought of by other men and women. Men hare sup posed that Mf they had plenty of money that would suffice, they would not care for the esteem of others. They have gotten the money and discovered their mistake. We want the plaudits of our fellows. We are built that way, Oakes Ames was following his strongest instinct. Only be went about it in the wrong way. “es ee Who knows—or who cares—-what king ordered the pillars of Luxor graved? Who knows—or wants to know—what tyrant of Egypt worked myriads of sieves to make a great pyramid over his tomb? All the lower valley of the river Nile ls a vast mummy field where every pick that turns up a dried cadaver tells the story of the eclipse of human glory. The world remembers only its benefactors. For centuries and centuries the human race did nothing more than to merely mark time on the vast plain of Mesopotamia—made not an inch of progress. Thebes could make fine vases but it could not make fine men. Anaxagoras spent years in trying to equare the circle. The monks of medieval times argued together for years to show how many souls of saints could dance on the point of a needle. Bat Archimedes discovered the principle of the lever. Even Greece lagged. One day Diogenes roiled bis tab through the streets of Athens and said, “That is all there ts to your boasted progress.” But Hiero invented the screw for pumping water and first employed the pulley. Epictetus, the Phrygian slave, never owned more than 4 pallet of straw and an iron lamp ebody stole the Jamp—but he gave the world more gentle wisdom than all the Roman conquerors.
