A YOUNG MANS RISE.
FROM ERRAND BOY TO VICE
PRESIDENT OF BANK.
Rapid Strides Made by Walter w.
Lee in Fourteen Years-Eis Sue
cess Entirely Due to
Hard Work.

New York. There was urgent need
one afternoon about 10 or ~ years ago
for Frederick d. Tappan, then presi-
dent of the Gallatin National bank, to
have a certain statement prepared.
He went into the bookkeeping depart
ment to get it. The head bookkeeper
was away i'll. The two regular book
keepers were more than doubtful of
their ability to get up the statement
1t was very difficult to prepare and
they did not know just how to get at
the facts. The work was of so much
Importance that they did not like to
take chances on it.
Mr.. Tappan was angry. He never
liked to be thwarted. He noticed a
brght-faced boy, one of the youngest
clerks in the office, looking at him
intently. The boy had heard the con
versaton of the president and the
bookkeepers. Something impelled Mr.
Tappan to turn to the boy and ask
rather sarcastically, if he could make
up the statement. He expected the
boy to answer as had the bookkeep-
ers, but to his surprise the boy said:
"I'll try" There was such a spirit
of confidence in that "I'll try" that
the great financier told the boy to go
ahead.
And the boy not only tried, but he
made successful job of it. The state
ment was on the presidents desk
within a few hours.
The other day the boy. whose "I'll
try" caught the fancy of Frederick
d. Tappan was elected vice president
of the National Bank of North Amer.

He will assume his new office on Jan.

uary l. He is only 81 years ole,
and does not look to be more than
%. He is the youngest bank official
of such high rank in the city. Four
teen years 40 he was an errand boy.
He is the most striking example of
rapid advancement that Wall street
has afforded in a long time.
Mr.. Lees success has been due to
sheer hard work He has had no out
side influence to push him along. He
pushed himself. He has followed
one business rule all his life, and
that is to do little bit more than is
expected of lim. AS q boy of II he
went to the financial district from the
College of the City of New York. His
first employment was as errand boy
for the Gallatin. He had to clean
the inkwells, run with messages and
be at the beck and call of everybody
in the establishment. 1t was not long
before the bank people noticed what
a lively interest he took in every
thing. He seemed to be eager to do
any and every kind of work. He took
a pleasure in cleaning the ink-wells
and in running errands. He was keen,
alert, cheerful and tireless.
The fact that he was getting a
very small salary did not seem to af-
feet his spirit any. When he got his
first promotion he worked all the
harder. He was anxious to learn all
he could about the banking business.
1t was his custom when he finished
his own work to look over that of his
fellow clerks to see if he could i'm
prove by their methods. Step by step
he was advanced in the Gallatin I'M
til he became loan clerk. BY this
time young Lee had attracted the at
tention of persons outside the bank.
In 1899, when the City Trust. com
pany was organized, the assistant
! secretaryship was offered to him. He
was barely 25 Some men-men of
! fine education and influence-have
been in the banking business nearly
half a century, and have not got that
far He accepted the offer of the
trust company, and when that insti-
tuition was absorbed recently by the
North American Trust company he
was made manager o. its Wall
street branch, which office he now
fills.
Success has not changed his hab-
its. He is the first of the employees
to be in the office in the morning
and as a general thing. is the last to
leave his desk at night. He shows
just as much interest in his work as
he did when he was cleaning the ink
pots. While there is work to be
done ne is happy in doing it.
A man who went to Mr.. Lee the
other day to inquire what he thought
of the chances of young men in Wal
street was told that conditions there
are just the same as in any Other
branch of business.

of buttons, or little work basket, as
he will have to learn the use OF them
in his bachelorhood.
Another game appropriate to the
day is Broken Hearts" Cut out CT
red cardboard as many hearts, about
six inches across, as you will have
pairs of guests. Then, with sharp
shears, cut each of these into many
small pieces, square, crescent shaped,
wedge shaped, and so on, keeping the
pieces of each heart separate from
the others by putting them into an
envelope.
Now, from different colored papers
cut small hearts, two of each, and put
them into two bowls. The players
then select one each, the girls from
one bowl, the boys from another, and
/ the boys then find their partners in
the girls who have hearts matching
in color those they have selected
The envelopes are then distributed.
one to each couple, and they must
try to put the pieces together to form
perfect heart. The two who first
do this stand up and are crowned with
red roses made of paper, as this was
a classic honor bestowed upon Cupid,
the god of love. If you prefer, the girl
may be crowned with roses and the
boy with laurel wreath
This diversion is especially good
fun. Get a sheet of heavy cardboard,
twenty-five or thirty inches square,
and draw on it as large heart as
you can. Then cut the heart out
and cover it with white muslin to
strengthen it; it may also be braced
at the back by strips of wood.
Around the edge of the heart paint
a border in green, about three inches
wide, which of course, gives you the
outlines of a green heart. Inside this
paint black heart of the same width,
and again third in yellow, fourth
in blue, fifth in red, and in the cen
ter a bull's-eye of gold paint, leaving
space of white implanted.
Having prepared as many arrows as
there are guests and gilded Cupid's
