THE ECHO OF A SONG.

To my fancy, idly roaming, comes q
picture Of the cleaning
Comes fragrance from the bios
SONS Of the lilac and the rose;
With the yellow lamplight streaming
l am sitting here and dreaming
OF half-forgotten twilight whence
mellow memory flows;
To my listening ears come winging
vagrant notes of woman's sing
ing;
I've sense of sweet contentment as
the sounds are borne along;
'Tis mother who is tuning her fond
heart to love and grooming
To her laddie such a
Sleepy little,
Creepy little
Song:
All, how well do remember when by
cracking spark and ember
The old fashioned oaken rocker
moved with rhythmic sweep and
slow;
With her fet upon the fender, In ca
dence low and tender,
Floated forth that slumber anthem
Of a childhood long ago.
There were COLLINS in the cleaning,
and the half-closed eyes went
roaming
Through the twilight for the ghostly
shapes Of bugaboos along;
Now the sandman's slyly creeping and
a tired lad half sleeping
When she sings to him that
Sleepy little,
Creepy little
Song.
So I'm sitting here and dreaming
with the mellow lamplight
streaming
Through the empowered win
dow in yellow lagree,
On the fragrant air come winging va
grant notes of womans singing,
tbs the slumber song of childhood
that is murmuring to me,
And some subtle fancy creeping lulls
my senses half to sleeping
AS the misty shapes of bugaboos 90
dreamily along,
All my sorrow disappearing, as tired
lad I'm hearing
Once again my mothers
Sleepy little,
Creepy little
Song.

swelled with joy He saw his beloved
 Mayer crouching over book, and
 chanting from it's pages, as if learning
 something by heart. Approaching near
 CT he saw that the volume was the Tal- mud.
 What are you reading, my boy?"
 asked the father, taking the book with lone hand. while he patted his sons
 head lovingly with the other. Before
 the lad could answer a loose leaf slip ped out and ficated to the floor. The
 father picked up the runaway sheet of
 paper, and stared at it hard. Finally I the smile returned, but it was broader
 and more worldly. The boy had tucked
 into his Talmud a leaf from an old Earithmetie. There was no further effort
 to thwart the lad s ambition, and a year
 or so later he was sent to Hanover to
 serve as an employe of the banking
 house of Oppenheim, After a short ap- Iprenticeship young Rothschild returned to his native town and opened bank ing establishment of his own.
 i When Mayer Anselm Rothschild lay dying in 1872 he summoned his five sons to his bed and enjoined them to be faithful to the laws of Moses, to remain united to the end and to undertake nothing without having first consulted ther mother. Observe these rules. Twas his last injunction, and you will soon be rich among the richest, and the world will belong to you" The fortune which Mayer Anselm divided among his sons was by no means small He had
 been the court banker of the Landgrave of Hesse, who was afterward the elec-
 tor of Hesse Cassel In 1906 when the -rector was compelled to fly before the
 French, he left his large private fortune 1 in the hands of his banker, who invest I ed it so shrewdly that it increased two- | fold before the elector returned.
 Tn the belief that they could anass greater wealth by establishing banks in different cities, the five brothers sepa- rated. Anselm remained at Frankfort, while SaIoman settled yip Vienna, Ma ithan in London, Carl in Naples and James in Paris But, although the brothers were divided by distance, they linked together by family and financial lties as inseparably as ever. Whenever possible, each assisted the other. and in order to prevent death letting any
 money leak out of the family, the mem bers of the family intermarried. The
 marriage of close relatives has been a custom among Hebrews ever since the ldays of Isaac, but 1t has seldom been
 observed so strictly as by this family.
 For example, James, founder of the
 Paris house, welded his brothers daughter; Anselm, who succeeded his father in the management of the
 Frankfort firm, took for a wife the eld- est daughter of Nathan and Alphonse, lthe grandson of the original Roth lschild. the present head of the Paris

he thought, as near as he could tell at present, that it would take off about twenty feet of the land owned by the Gas company, but that it would only displace the old office and barn and also the meter house, not interfering with the new plan at all.
 The plan, as mapped out, would ne- cessitate the filling in of the mud flats along the edge of the harbor and also, as the tracks would extend around the end of Long Wharf, some pretty deep water in that vicinity. Alderman Minor explained that at this point spiles would be sunk and a trestle made. There seemed to be 8 slight question in the minds of some of the aldermen whether this might not interfere with the docking at Long wharf, but the claim was made that instead of this being detriment it would be a benefit, as when it came to unshipping cargoes they would be right along side oe the main line of the railroad and could be taken by train from there to any desired place.
 The line, it is said, if adopted, would be more convenient for the new station which is to be erected than any other plan which has been 50 far proposed.
 Alderman Minor, in explaining the plan, said that the tracks if built would be on a foundation like that at Bridge port
 The committee on railroads and bridges will hold public meetings on the subject in the near future.
 If the plan were adopted the Artizan street engine house would not have to be moved.
 Citizens commenting on the matter last evening said that the new plan, if carried out, would present a more in teresting view of the city to, traelers than they can now get.

THE RoTHsCHILDs.

New York Nickels Soon to Flow to Their Coffers.
 New Workers are likely to take pe- Iculiar interest in the Rothschild family Iof financiers when they realize that they will soon be contributing to the wealth of that famous group of bank CTS. Tn furnishing the money for the subway, August Belmont is said to have used many millions of the Roth schild gold, so that certain percentage of all the nickels paid for fares in the new underground road will thus cross the Atlantic.
 It would seem that the Rothschilds hardly need to reach out into foreign lands in order to make both ends meet In the century and a half that they have been doing business they have amassed a fortune which is incal- culable. Estimates of it that have been printed from time to time vary from 0O,O0o,0OO to $1,OOO, ,0OO,000 One may ob- tain some idea of the magnitude of their fortune, however, by comparing the sums which they have lent to vari- ous governments. Since 1915 they have raised for Great Britain alone more than $1,0OO,000OO0 They have lent to Austria in the same length of time $250, ,000, ,000; Prussia, $200, ,000,000; France, $4O0, 100000; Italy, $S0O,0OO,OO0; Russia, $125,O00,OO0; Brazil, $70,0O0,OOO; and they have taken up more than $50, ,000,000 of United States bonds. In addition to such tremendous operations, the Roth schild firms in the cities of London, Paris and Vienna handle vast amount of private capital. They lend great sums to embarrassed nobles," and not a few rulers owe the splendor Of their courts to borrowed Rothschild gold. For this reason, it is not remarkable that ten of the family are barons. Had the father of the "originap' Rothschild had his way, the talents of this family might not have been known | to the world of finance. When Mayer Anselm Rothschild was born in the Ju- denstrasse, Frankfort, in 1743, his par- ents consecrated him to the churchh. l Although he worked In his farnther's store, driving a bargain whenever there was an opportunity, he was told con stantly that he was to become a rabbi, For a long time the boys remon- Etrances were in vain, but he finally overcame his fathers will in the follow ing way:
 The elder Rothschild had left his son one day at the home of a neighboring rabbi, in order that this reverend doc i tor might persuade Che youth to choose the synagogue, rather than the count ing room. After a long talk the rabbi gave the boy the Talmud, and asked
 him to read certain passages. An hour or so later the father came for his child, and, finding no one at the door, he stepped into the hallway. A low mur- mur from an adjoining room caused him to look quickly, and his heart

 Tt is unjust to compare man with capital and intelligence. organizing faculties, invention and knowledge with any gross brutal workman who applies to his work only the unintelligent work of his hands
 Those who know him most intimately say that the present head of the Roth schild family is one of the unappiest of men. When Heinrich Heine visited him one time he found the banker in such a moody fit that he asked him if he were i'll.
 T am not i'll. am crazy, !" was the reply.
 T will never believe that you are crazy" said Heine, .untill;1 I see you throwing your money out of the win- dow.
 "Ah." said Rothschild, with almost a shout, T am crazy because do not throw my money out of the window"
 Nathan Rothschild, the founder of the London house, was also said to have been in continual fear of death from as- sassination. One day two tall, dark men, with heavy moustaches and pene- trating eyes, were ushered into bis room in New Court. The financfer bowed; the visitors on their side, did the same, but said nothing. As the door closed behind them they began to feel in their pockets for something which was apparently concealed there Rothschild's fear at once led to the con- clusion that he was in the presence of assassins, and hlirriedly seizing a huge ledger, which wa on the bureau, he hurled it with all his force at the strangers and shouted loudly for help. When at last an explanation was forth coming, Nathan discovered that the visitors were two foreign bankers bear ing letters of introduction, which in their nervous haste they were unable to discover.-New York Tribune.
