teresting for him that Mr.. Kahn decided
to stay in New York for a while. He soon
became the right hand man of Mr.. Harri-
man in certain enterprises and extended his
influence to all parts of the United States.
So interested did he become in the develop
ment of this country that later he renounced
his allegiance with Great Britain and be-
came citizen under the Stars and Stripes.
His attachment for the new land was
strengthened by the fact that he had mean
while married the daughter of one Of the
founders Of the international banking house
OF Kuhn. Loeb Co.
In his business hours he is the precise and
active man of business which he learned to
be by his devotion to the ink wells at Karls-
ruhe.

Bishop Manning Still Works
Eighteen Hours Every Day

y y
IT. HAT habit of his of working eighteen
hours a day and attending to all
kinds of details made William
Thomas Manning the Protestant Episcopal
Bishop OF New York. Some of those who
opposed him Tor election as the tenth head
of the metropolitan see laid it up against
him that he was born in England. The
wonderful efficiency which DIR. Manning at
tanned in the management of affairs ecclesi-
astical was largely due to his American
training His parents brought him to this
country when he was still in his teens and
gave to him first Nebraska environment.
The youth felt a call to the ministry and
was sent to the University of the South. at
Sewanee. Tenn. which is chiefly devoted to
the rearing of capdidates for orders.
Here his capacity for work sent him we'll
toward the head of his class. Upon his
graduation he was sent as a rector of a
small church. at Redlands, Cal, where he
remained several years. Sewanee wanted
him back as professor of dogmatic theology,
and there he trained young theoogians. DR..
Mannings desire for executive positions
however, led him to accept another rector
ship in Pennsylvania. He then went to
Nashville and from Nashville to st. Agness
Chapel. New York, a part of Trinity.
The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix, the venerable
rector of Trinity recognized the ability of
the young clergyman and made him his
assistant. Then upon DIR. Manning fell the
burden of the great parish with the death of
HIS preceptor. His ability in leadership has
now been crowned by his election to the
bishopric of New York-and he still works
about eighteen hours a day.

Washing Ink Wells We'll

I
w TASHING ink wells was one of the
N best accomplishments of Otto
Hermann Kahn when he was a
boy apprentice in bank. AS all stories of
success must have a background OF an hum
BILE beginning, that of the financier and con-
noisseur whom New York knows so well
would not be complete without revealing
this dark past
He washed the wells so efficiently that
he permitted TO bring in sausages and
beer for the other older clerks and the
cashier at the bank i'm Karlsruhe where he
began his financial career. Then he became
"A messenger, and from that point his training
was toward higher realms Before long he
was starting up the ladder OF success, and
then climbed so rapidly that he was at the
head OF the agency OF the Deutsche Bank
IN London.
Although his parents had subjected him to
The strictest discipline In his younger years,
Mr.. Kahn had far better start than most
boys who wash ink wells. His family N
Mannheim where he was born, belonged TO
the highest social circles Their house was
q meeting place for musicians and artists
Its atmosphere was so congenial TO those Of
artistic tefnperaments that Mr.. Kahn at
first found the hard and fast ways OF foreign
finance far from alluring
In the English capital he found so many
friends OF congenial tastes that he became
an English subject
Thinking that travel toward the west
would develop him, he came 10 the United
States a visit While here he came In
