THE FINANCIAL,
DOCTORS OF EUROPE

This is the busy season for the Roths-
childs-the financial doctors of Europe.
There are sick nations ailing kings, grippe
stricken banks and malarial financial con-
Germs. All feel that there is danger in the
air, and the trouble is that not even the
Rothschilds-the financial doctors-can di-
agnose the disease.
France has organic trouble; Franz Josef
is harassed; the Bank of Spain needs the
doctor, and no great commercial concern
will venture forth until-the doctor says it
is safe"
And who are these men, the physicians
who heal all national wounds-even those
of royal love? How and where did they get
their name? How maintain their prestige?
sIooleys rise and Barnatos die; Rhodes
uffer-but never a Rothschild smarts
No Jove of old ever ruled the high heav-
ms as they rule the low earth. And surely

horses in the world. His Derby winners are
famous, and 1t was that account that
the matter was questioned when the Prince
of Wales won the Derby Persimmon al
though a first-class horse, was not expect
ed to beat the Rothschild colt, though he
did. These inquiries Baron Leopold's jock
ey interpreted as stain upon the family
honor, and wished to sft the rumor to the
bottom, but the people would not allow it,
The Rothschilds have always had their
own peculiar ways of doing things. Once
clerk absconded with a large sum of mon
ey, but the Rothschllds refused to prose-
cute. They said that the case would ex-
pose their clients and their confidential
business But they took care to place
temptation before stranger no more.
A tale Is told of Rothschild who was
wild and drank and spent money. This
black sheep was taken back to Frankfort
and kept there upon a generous allowance
dealt out to him daily with regularity until
he died The family honor did not suffer at
his hands,
are cared for by themselves in the same
quiet way, and the world never hears of
Rothschild roaming at large in state in
which he can be pitied. Many wealthy fam
lilies have black sheep whose exploits are
subject of wonder and recital to the world,
but not so with the erring of this great
family, though there are now hundreds of
Rothschilds.
Their acumen is as great as their wealth.
Baron Alphonso, the head of the French
branch, who occupies in Paris the mag
nificent old Talleyrand palace, is afraid of
riots. For months workmeu have been busy
at his walls, and now the story is that by
touching secret springs the baron O. cause
all his priceless paintings to disappear ard
the wonderful statues to occupy hidden
shelves within the walls.
Not only to the powerful are the Roths-
child~ he financial doctors, but of the peo-
pie After the great Charity Bazaar
fire in Paris an anonymous contribution of
million francs was received. This proved
to be from the banking house of Roths-
child. They maintain in every capital in
Europe one charitable institution. They
generously head every public contribution.
They give to the poor, as matter of con-
science, a hundred pounds daily.
| Their superstition-if you can call 1t such
! is loyalty to their women. Mother and
wife are worshipped.
Another family popularity promised to
old Anselm. is loyalty to home. This they
fulfill so well that Frankfort is the richest
city of its size in the world, and so we'll
have the Rothschids doctored the enter
prises of the city that there Is one bank to
every 1900 persons.
| OF these 'physicians" 1t may be told, as
a remarkable thing. that they have never
lost case" No country or king borrowing
from them has been too poor to pay.

About this time they formulated the fam
lily rules that have given their fortune
chance to accumulate and have held the
family intact. The rules were drawn up by
their mother, the aged wife of Anselm,
who lived until 1919 and died at the ripe old
age of So. and were governed largely by the
advice of their father on his deathbed.
These rules were substantially that:
No Rothschild should make a financial
arrangement without the unanimous con-
sent of the whole family.
That the mother or oldest living woman
of the family should be present at all i'm
portant financial meetings.
That the great councils should take place
at the banking house at Frankfort-on-the-
Main.
That the family residence should be MAIN
tanned at Frankfort at the original
home which stands where once was the
Judengasse which divided the Jewish from
the Christian part of the town.
That no Rothschd should go out of the
family for a WIFE
That only the members of the family
should be employed in the banking houses;
That the family arms should be req

My Daphnes music charms all ears.
