A COUNTRY BOYS RISE.
The Life Story OF Bank President
Williams, Of New York City.

''Forty years ago one pleasant summer
day, good deacon from Norwalk, Conn.,,
drove into the city of New York In an
old fashioned one-horse shay. He
brought with him his son, mere boy Of
eighteen or nineteen, then for the first
time to experience the vicissitudes Of
life in large city. Would you like to
know what became ofthat boyl" inquired
Mr.. ]. s, Gaifney Of New York, Super
intendent OF Agencies for the United
States Life Insurance Company, now re-
gistered at the Coates House.
swell, will tell you. To-day that
youth is the President of the Chemical
National Bank of New York City, the
most solid and substantial banking insti-
tuition in the country. His name il
George Williams, and he has been con-
nected with that bank in some capacity
from the day he first entered the doors
with his father forty years ago until the
present. Such record here in America,
where everything is shifting and chang
ing, is worth more than a passing
mention.
"The Chemical National Bank is the
bank in which the wealthy New York

Goulds and many others who care more
for security than interest make their
large deposits. myself have seen .
check for So, 900, 600 in favor of Jay
Gould drawn on the Chemical National
Bank. The stock is limited to $780,.
900, but the property of the bank, in
dependent of the name, is worth 49,,
O00,0 Is it any wonder that
che shares, which started in at paI
value Of 800, are now worth So, 900 at
least, and it is almost impossible to get
one of them at any figure. Other banks
come and go, other banks rise and fall,
but this bank seems to have cnught
glimpses of immortality, if this phrase
can be used in speaking OF bank.
1.-THE brains of this bank, the man
who has made it what it is to large
degree, is George Williams. His record
is one to be envied. He has made
money himself, and he is rated mil
lionaire several times over in the com
mercial agencies. But he can command
tens of millions of dollars. He is re-
garded as one Of the best among living
6nanciers. II you can get his indorse-
ment to any project you can get any
amount of money that you need in New
York. Go to your Kansas City bankers
or any bank on either side of the water
and whisper the magic name of George
Williams to them and it will cause the
sesame to open their vaults and let out
their millions. Too often the worth, the
merit, the work Of men like George Will
liams is forgotten in the West, especially
where men are always in a hurry, but
once in while we remember these
things. "- Kansas City Times.

Wooihardy People Lose Their Lives
by Trifiing With Danger.
A terrible accident, by which nine fool
hardy persons lost their lives, occurred at

ception of the center Of the river, has been
frozen over for some time
Part Of one day the whole river was COW
cred over with ice, the middle of the stream.
however, being hidden by what the police
Judged to be dangerously thin ice. Conse-
quently the authorities forbade the people to
attempt to cross the river, and the police were
instructed to enforce the order.
In spite of this number of ventursome
men and boys, disregarding the warning cry
OF the police and of the crowds of people who
were watching them, attempted to cross the
Seine ON the ice. As they neared the middle
of the stream dull, cracking reports were
heard, causing a number of the foolhard peo-
pie to rush back to the sides of the river
where the ice was much thicker. Others, to
show how daring they were, jumped on, and
Immediately, with long series of rumbling
cracks, the ice gave way and precipitated
the crowd of people into the frozen water.
Cries Of horror and alarm arose on the
banks and the police and lfe-savers rushed
to the scene Of the disaster and did their ut
most to save life In spite of their efforts,
and though number Of people were drawn
from the river, nine Pewons are known to
have been drown.
