house that caters not to the ordinary
banking business, but to the great
capitalists of the country. The latest
member of this great firm of finan-
ciers is George w. Perkins, and be-
hind his rise to power in the world
of finance is some interesting person
al history and achievements.
Mr. Perkins is a son of the west,
being born in Chicago in 1862. The
silver spoon was missing at the time
of his birth, and was not found in his
mouth. His father was life insur
ance agent, and the son began his
business career as an office boy in
the Chicago branch of the New York
Life company. There are to-day men
connected with the life insurance
business in Chicago, and who claim to
have predicted his rise to power in
the financial world because of the
ability he displayed as an office boy.
During his connection with the life
insurance company promotions came
rapidly, and when he quit that COM
pany to enter the great banking es-
tablishment he had risen to the po-
sition of second vice president of the
company, a member of its board of
trustees and the chairman of its
finance committee. He is in all re-
spects a self-made man, and sample
of what any progressive American
boy may become if he but has the
push.

ago harbor when the attempt was
made to bottle up the feet of Ad-
miral Cervera, has been promoted to
be grnner's mate in the navy, a po-
sition worthy the ambition of any
American boy; and Calvin Titus, who
was the first of the foreign soldiers
to scale the walls of Pelting, and by
whose hand the stars and stripes was
planted on that wall ahead of the
flag of any other of the allied armies,
has been given an appointment to
West Point. Both are Iowa boys.
Of the two acts it is hard to say
which was the bravest. Deignan was
one of company that faced death
together, but of all that company
none but the brave commander of the
doomed vessel occupied such an ex-
posed position, for they stood side by
side at the wheel, at which every
Spanish shell was directed, and it is
probable that neither expected to
ever escape with their lives. For this
act Deignan would in all probability
have been sent to Annapolis had he
not have been past the age limit for
naval cadets. AS it is, way is now
opened for him to advance to the
rank of an officer from the ranks.
Titus acted practically alone in his
| daring, and in the face of murder
Gus fire. BY his daring he made pos
sible the entrance of the allies into
Peking at time when every moment
| was valuable. His reward is none too
great for the act of bravery he per-
formed. His home is in Vinton, Ia.
and he is but 90 years of age.
