GLlMPSES OF ROTHSCHILD.
His Fortune Was Heavy Burden to
Baron A1phOnse, French Banker.

ais Fortune Was Heavy Burden to
Baron AIphOnse, French Banker.
The late Baron Alrhonse de Roths-
child of Paris, head of the French
branch of the famous banking house
and governor of the Bank of France,
was a man Of great culture as we'll as
worthy representative of his family
as a financier, says the New York
Times. He was also interested III
sports, particularly racing.
There have been two attacks upon
the French Rothschilds. The first was
in 1913, when the father of Baron Al
phonse, being besieged by peasant SO
ciaIists, received them and offered to
give his visitors what was due should
be divide his fortune among the peo~
pie He calculated that they should re-
ceive 5 francs each. The peasants left
the old baron in peace.
The second attack was upon Baron
Alphonse. 1t took more cowardly
form. In September, 1895, IL letter was
sent to him containing an explosive
that would go off when the letter was
UDCIlCd. Lie DdtOh w as IL tAC OCftSAo~b
and the letter was opened by clerk,
POLISH Jew, NJ. Jodkowitz. He was
thrown down by the defamation. but not
seriously injured. Curiously enough,
Nj. Iodkowitz was at the time in charge
Of Baron Alphonse de Rothschid's
charitable disbursements, which bene-
nted the deserving of all faiths.

influence, Baron Alphonse was an un-
happy man. He found pleasure in his
family life, in art and in music, but the
care Of his great fortune was a heavy
burden. A visitor once found the bank
er in such moody At that he asked II
he were Ill. 4.---
IT am not Ill; am crazy" was the
reply.
~ will never believe that you are
crazy until 1 see you throwing your
money out of the window said the
visitor.
"Ah." said the baron, exhibiting Q
threatening letter. II am crazy be-
cause do not throw my money out Of
the window"
The baron had one strong superst-
ton which he could not overcome, and
that was that the number IS was un-
lucky. When he was married he chose
as his residence the hotel In the Rue
st. George. in Paris, which had been
the property of NJ. Pescatore. The res
idence bore the number 13. When
the baron saw the number he refused
to enter the house until it was removed.
When letters came addressed with the
old number he refused to open them.
and he offered $4,000 francs to the mu-
nicipality, to be distributed among the
poor, if the number were changed. The
offer was accepted, and III bis" was
substituted.
The baron lost an eye in 1898 while
on hunting expedition through the
carelessness Of one of his guests. Be-
ing a strikingly handsome man, he felt
the Disagreement keenly and said he
would rather have had the top Of his
head blown off.

Transportation Charges.

The freight and refrigerating charges
on a full car. of strawberries from
southern points are often from $500 to
$500, while on a car Of southern
peaches the cost Of freight and refrig-
GRAFTON and the high priced packages
that have to be used run the cost up
above $500 on each car that comes into
the state; $500 of this would be profit
or increased income to the local
grower
The local grower can often sell di-
rect to consumer; there are no heavy
transportation or refrigerator charges
to pay, and these two items alone
often eat up over one-half to two
thirds of the gross sales of fruit
brought from distance, while the To-
cal grower saves it. III. Hale, Con-

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec.
ognize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa.
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations Of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count. it was necessary
to obtain confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
az increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.
In the last few weeks the French
Knights Of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher. of Christ, Of Gregory
the Great. Of Plus TX. have greatly in

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and f0et. Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. / had always
used Cuticura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that l thought would
give them trial. The Improvement
was noticeable in a few hours, and
before 1 had used one box of the Gu
ticura Ointment her feet were we'll
and have never troubled her since /
also used it to remove what is known
as cradle cap" from her head, and.
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now l keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case of any
little rash or insect bites, as it takes
out the inflammation at once Per-
haps this may be the means of help

FaStidious Freddies,

Some names are so cosmopolitan
that it makes no difference how they
are spelled, but just let anybody ring
few unauthorized changes on tbs
name Of Frederick and the man who
owns it will have something to say.
They will not be pleasant things to
listen to, either. AS Frederick was
christened so does he insist upon be-
ing spelled. If at the baptismal font
he was invested with the dignity of a
*" he staggers under it's weight to
the end of the chapter. The only per-
son whose indignation can equal Fred
erick's when somebody leaves off the
*" is Frederic when somebody else
puts it on. Family ties have been
severed and irreparable social erup-
tons brought about by the unfortun-
ate omission or addition of that final
letter. To tutored ears Frederick with
or without the "k" sounds just as mu-
steal, but to Frederick himself that al
phabetical error is worse than a whole
orchestra out of tune, and it behooves
the person who would keep on the
good side of him to learn his prefer
ence in the matter

TOOK LOAD OFF HIS MIND.
Farmer Found That Uncle Billy Had
Not SWindIed Him.

/ was sitting on the veranda of a
New England village hotel after din
ner when townsman came edging up
and entered into conversation, and by
and by got around to ask:
DO l understand that you live in
New York city,"
Yes, sir"
Right in the city itself, and not in
Staten Island or Hoboken?"
Right in the city"
And have you been around consid-
erable?"
Il have been on the go for 20 years -
Then you know something about
the restaurants"
"A little something"
The man stopped there for a mo-
ment in an embarrassed way, and
then decided to make a clean breast
of it and continued:
"A few months ago l sent Uncle
Billy Williams of this town, to New
York to do some business for me. In
his expense account when he came
back was as cents for a beefsteak in
restaurant. 1 felt that he was
trying to do me out of at least a qaur-
ter, and we haven't spoken since. Did
you ever run across a 75-cent beef
steak in New York;"
L never knew that there was one
as cheap as that" replied.
What. You didn't"
IF Uncle Billy got one for that
price, then the man who served it
made a great mistake, and has prob
ably been mad about it ever since.
He should have charged $15O at least,
and if Uncle Billy had said it was
81 you needn't have been surprised.
You can get tough old steak at that
figure if you look around long enough,
but If you get anything fresh and
juicy you mustn't kick at S4.''
Great heavens!" gasped the man
as he turned pale. -Four dollars for
a beefsteak, and thought Uncle Billy
was doing me when he claimed to
have paid IS cents! Say, 1 owe him
an apology. 1 owe him hundred.
owe him thousand, and if you don't
see me again before 1 go you may
know that I'm down on my knees ask
ing him if he won't forgive me and
take me back to his heart again"

Famous Missionary Ship to ee Sold

c'iS@S "'SS'Shciy SIuP ~ &c QUA.
After being used for 10 months
among the Michonesian group of is
lands in the South Seas, says the Sc
attic Post-Intelligencer, the famous
ship Morning Star has been taken to
Honolulu, where she will be sold at
auction.
The Morning Star was bought by
the pennies of Sunday school children
throughout the country. Her cost was
$4,000. The steamship was origin
ally the Shoe City, running between
Boston and Lynn
Eighteen months ago the Morning
Star sailed from Boston with a party
OF missionaries bound for the South
Sea Islands. After landing the people
the steamship was employed carrying
supplies from the various Islands and
missionary stations, and also in car
rying native children to the Christian
schools. There are few vessels afloat
so well known to seamen as. the
Preacher Ship as she was named.
The reason for selling the steam
ship is stated to be the cost of operat-
ing her Coal in the South Seas COM
mands a higher price than in more
frequented portions of the globe, and
the traffic would scarcely justify the
board retaining so large steamship.

A Wasp as a Pet.

Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept
by man was a wasp which Lord Ave
bury caught in the Pyrenees and re-
solved to tame. He began by teach
ing it to take its meals on his hand,
and in very short space of time it
grew to expect to be fed in that way.
Lord Avebury preserved this pet with
the greatest care. True, it stung him
once, but then it had every excuse for
doing SO. He was examining it while
on a railway journey and, the door
being opened by a ticket collector, he
unceremoniously stuffed it into a bot
tie. and the outraged Spaniard, not
feeling quite at home during the proc
ess, gave him a gentle reminder as to
the proper way to treat a guest.

A noted specialist in throat and lung

The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis.

that this remedy can besupplied direct
