work Of keeping the voters in line
This was in the days when the Tam

in the tenements, when he saw they
were supplied with coal in the win
ter and with ice in the summer, ana
that there always was something on
hand for the youngsters to eat.
II would do nothing for the
crooks" explained the old lady to-
day. But if it was some poor boy

This is the human side of this po-
litical leader, who, born herself in
the shadow of the Bowery, started a
millinery shop to assist in bringing up
four fatherless nieces. She was only
4 girl herself at the time and she
worked like a beaver night and duy
to put the shop on its feet. Then
came Max Porges, good-natured, love-
able-the. finest man in the world
and she married him. From then
on she divided her time between aid

for nor accepted a political office and
she proudly boasts that she never has
made single penny out of politics.
Her hold on her district comes from
shrewdness, it is true, but it also is
rooted in gratitude.
There was a mix-up over push cart
licenses not long ago in the Second.
Did the frantic peddlers 81 to the
inspectors in the city hall? They
did not They came running in an
excited rabble to Barbara Porges;
they poured out their tale of what
they termed injustice. Inspectors tried
to interfere and they called in the
police to aid them. Mrs. Porges met
them. 81 haven't any job and I'm
not looking for one" she told them, SO

But" here she touched the shining
badge of one of the men, you have

The inspectors left and the police
men with them. Then the muddle
was fixed up by the exercise of a
little common sense and the city au-
thorities were satisfied.
Mrs. Porges still keeps her old quar-
tiers over the saloon at SO Rivington
street, although occasionally she stays
with niece in the swell section on
Riverside driye. She keeps open house
whenever she is in the district. Any
one who needs her always can get her.
