MAYOR BUSSE'S START.
Game With a Horse and Wagon Left Him
by n Suicide.

came With n Horse wagon Left Hin
by n Suicide.
The new Mayor of Chicago is a bachelor
and lives with his parents in a fiat over the
Office of the Busse Coal Company.
Fred Bussedid not remain long in school
say the Rerieu OF Reuieus. His boyhood
was spent in various occupations, much OF
the time helping his father.
h young mans kindness of heart
brought him an opportunity. through an
others misfortune. TO go into business for
himself in q small way.
One day an old expressman whom he
had befriended was found hanging to a
rafter in his stable. In the pocket of the
dead man was this note: Il want Fred
Busse to ave my horse and wagon
With this outfit Mr.. Busse vent into the
express business, which rapidly b~roadened
into a general teaming business. Later
the sale OF coal was added and to-day the
Busse Coal Company is among the largest
retail dealers in that line in Chicago.
Mr.. Busse is a man of large frame and
rotund figure. but notwithstanding his size
he is quick of action physically, and mem
tally is alert. As postmaster at Chicago
he has given an efficient administration.
When he wanted anything at Washington
he did not write. He went.
During his year and a quarter of service
as postmaster he had been to Washington
twelve times, never taking more than three
or four days for each trim. He has slc-
ceeded in having 500 employees added
TO the post Office force in Chicago. Various
improvements in local Office Management
have also been made by him. Discipline
has been we'll maintained.
The campaign hat brought him into
office is notable for the fact that during il
the successful candidate never once an.
peared in public nor made a speech. On

returning from Washington, Mr.. Busse

ONE HORSE RACERS.
Not Many American Women Have Kept Up
Racing Stables.

A few years ago il looked as il horse
owning by women was going to be a fad.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and Mrs. Her
man B. Duryea formed a racing partnership
under the turf name Of "Mr. Roslyn,"
fashioned after the partnership that ex-
listed between their husbands. They raced
only one horse and then decided to retire.
They got more notoriety thar they ex-
peoted, says the Broadpop Magazine. They
also got more followers thar they had an
ticipated.
Before the season was ended Mrs. Nj. NJ.
Goldblatt, Mrs. McCatferty and several
other W omen were in the racing business.
Mrs. Goldblatt has a big stable, operating
mostly in the West, and Mrs. McCafferty
is the wife of q trainer.
There probably are 100 woman who as
horse owners are registered by the Jockey
Club or the American Turf Congress. Not
a few men found IL convenient to dodge
the Sheriff by putting their horses in the
names OF their female relatives and friends.
Miss Thelma Littlefeld. the nine-year-old
daughter OF former Jockey Fred Littlefeld,
races a horse In her own name.
Miss Kate Smith was the owner Of a really
pretentious stable OF racehorses a few years
ago. Miss Smith was the stenographer in
the stock brokerage establishment con-
Quoted by Alfred M. Lamar in the Con-
solidated Exchange building, at Broadway
and Exchange place. There were some
pretty fair horses in the bunch, Belle Strome
and Invader being only u tribe short Of

Around these two horses a bit Of romance
centres. They were entered in races In
Morris Park one day. Invader being in an
overnight handicap and Belle Strome in
a stake affair for nllies. At that time the
financial affairs OF Alfred NJ. Lamar were
not quite 30 sound as those OF the Chemical
Bank. The stable had been a sore tax on
his store Of money and there was not 90
much profit from the brokerage business
as there should be.
II 10 said that there was a serious dis
cussion as to whether II would not be wise

Belle Strome or Invader to bolster up the
business. The chance seemed too poor
and Il was abandoned.

the average price against Belle Strome
was 20 TO /. and against Invader 90 to /.
Belle Strome won her race and Invader
