Is well known that snug sum was
won by an impecunious young munich
pal department clerk at the Brooklyn
handicap who bet on Diablo. ''I9l en-
ter the bet in the mayors NAME" said
he. 'sThen it'll surely be lucky"
When this patched-up horse had been
declared the winner the department
clerk said he would bet on all the
races and use Mr.. Gilroy's name as a
talis1nan. The mayor himself is not
pleased at this wild rush for the use of
his name, as betting and gambling are
distasteful to him, but he cannot see
how to preventit.

The Lady or the Tiger:

Richard Croker, Tammany's dictator,
would be quite Indifferent to any criti-
cism of him by anybody were it not for
the effect it has upon his wife. Mrs.
Croker has been attracting attention
lately by a tendency TO get lin the
swim" But her political abilities
have never yet been limited at. Those
who move in Tammany's esoteric CO.
terie have long known that whenever
Richard Croker is vexed by political
problem he gets his wife to solve it.
She has suggested many an appoint
ment- More than one high official
owes his position to her. She main
tains political salon just as Nine.
Adam rules over literary one
in Paris. Nor is there the faint
est suggestion of masculinity about
her. Mrs. Croker has the most at
tractive of smiles, and her voice in con-
versation is remarkab bly, soft and mu-
steal. 1t happened not many weeks
ago that very desirable position in
the board Of public works was sought
by the protege of powerful leader in
his assembly district. But this position
was held by a young man whose moth
er had been a schoolmate of Mrs.
Croker. Fortune had not smiled upon
this mother. Hearing of the plan TO
displace her son, she visited Mrs.
Croker. An old friendship was re-
newed, and when the Tammany chief

of her girlhood was widowed and had

Bend, hearing of the matter, declared
with the disdainful Indifference that

she didn't want the bauble any more,
