From the Chicago Record.

from tne InicaSo RECORD
Baron William Rothschild. the present
representative of the great family OF bank
ers in Frankfort, is very eccentric man.
He is .'ecluse. He lives within himself.
and does not seem to enjoy the society of
his fellow men. His habits are those of an
anchorite. No monk of the middle ages
was more scrupulous about his religious
duties or more abstemious in his diet.
Baron William observes all the Mosaic in
functions He takes his own cook and
cooking utensils wherever he goes. and has
his food prepared according to the strict
est Jewish regimen. He will never sit at
the same table with a Christian, nor par
take of food from which a Christian has
eaten. He is always very courteous. and
even deferential in his manners, but IL he is
in the same room with Christian who Is
standing Baron Rothschild will sit down.
If the Christian sits down he rises. In the
plain little Office where he receives those
who have business with him there is only
one chair. The entire furnishings of the
room would, not bring s. at auction. He
has the same desk and other furniture that
was used by his father and grandfather,
and i was informed that he has written
with the same quill pen for more than
forty years. but that may be an exaggera-
ton. He has. however, worn the same hat
for nearly a quarter Of century. and it il
said that he buys a new suit OF clothes
every fifth year.
This is not due to parsimcny. because
Baron Rothschild's residences are numer-
GUS and palatial, he has a host OF servants,
fine horses and carriages. and his family
fare sumptuously every day. He is very
generous. and gives to several men OF HIS
race more money every year a char
ity than he spends for his own comfort.
His wants are few. IL Is his pleasure to
live simply, and he enjoys his own society
more than that of other men,
Another OF Baron Rothschild's peculiari-.
ties is to conceal his benevolence. He 10
said to give away a great deal Of money.
but IL the man who receives II ever men,
tons the fact SO that Il comes to the
baron's ears. he Is not likely to get any
more. His confrfbutions to general be-
Eevolence are Always anonymous pass
through the hands of the rabbis.

The Poster Girl:

The blessed Poster Girl leaned out
From ink-puiple heaven.
One eye was red and one green;
Her bang was cut uneven;
She had three fingers on her hand
And the hairs on her head were seven.
Her robe. ungirt from clasp to hem,
No sunhowers did adorn;
But a heavy Turkish portiere
Was very neatly worn;
And the hat that lay along her back
Was yellow like canned corn.

That she standing on,
And high aloft she flung a scarf
That must have weighed a ton;
And she was rather tai at least
She reached up to the sun.

And wagged her gorgeous e.frs.
