.W0MAN'S mo" ALL POWERFUL
RothsehIld Group Of Bankers Listened
to Advice Of Mother, and There
Was No War. -.

A manuscript. dealing with Gudula
Rothschild, the mother of the great
banking family, and wife Of Maier
Amschel Rothschild, the founder of
the financial dynasty, has just been
unearthed in family that at her time
lived In the Ghetto, at Frankfort, Ger
many.
One of the most interesting entries
Is this:
Learning that another war was in
the air I went to Mother Gudula; say
Ing that didn't have the money to
buy of my son; that he would prob
ably be taken for the military and
might be killed. Mother Gudula said
she. would see about that and told me
to come back the next day, for in the
evening her sons would arrive from
London, Naples, Paris and Vienna to
talk business with her, for all these
great bankers went to seek the iad-
vice of Mother Gudula in business
matters of international magnitude.
when I went to see Mother Gu
dula again, she was all smiles.
"'Be OF good cheer she said, there
will be no war. I advised my sons
against it. The boys won't give tho
kings any money

INSTINCT SERVED DOG WELL
Study and Research Evidently Are
Not Necessary Among the Lower
Animals. r. ~ =,

"Shep," dog belonging to a board
Ing house In Tacoma, Wash, was
awakened by the explosion OF a lamp,
and, although he should have run
away with his tail between his legs,
he went upstairs, barked from. ono
door to another, aroused the sleep
ing inmates, who succeeded in saving
themselves, and then himself perish
ed miserably and incontinently in the
flames.
What a singular way for q dog to
act, says Life. especially as he ap-
parently, so far as we can learn from
his past, had no actual knowledge Of
the real value Of human life. He
conducted no laboratory experiments
upon human beings, nor upon any Of
his own species. In order to perpetu-
ate the race of dogs or men. He
had given no lectures nor had taken
fees for work done in connection
with the saving of human life. He
occupied no important scientific post
of honor. He had engaged in no re-
search labor, and, in fact, he had no
knowledge whatever of the scientific
necessity of sacrificing some lives to
save others.
And yet, in spite of this. he seem
ed to have the true scientific spirit,
and, although but a dog, he was
willing to sacrifice himself for 9th
ers. This shows the great power OF
instinct.
