She holds out the Croker millions for

Behind this is story of loyalty I'M

"All that l have l owe to the boys

theirs" That is what Croker told
his young wife shortly before he died.

with me after he died. Il is with me
now. And so now 1 am doing what l
know he would do.

Croker continued. "he told me that
the most desirable quality in any man
was gratitude. The boys in Tammany

.IMI the purse of a hopeless cripple
comes a magnificent gift-a
gift measuring $1,00O,00O in money
but priceless in the measure of its
aid to a stricken humanity.
William Henry Eustis, former
mayor of Minneapolis. helplessly lame
since boyhood, has saved and

he might prevent other children suf-

Affection and despair have made no

than he has been for more than three

the realization that at last he has full

handicap fate imposed upon him.
Gets Noted Surgeon
Eustis has set apart a million dol
lars from his savings for the erection
and perpetuation of a hospital and
convalescent home for crippled chill
dren to be administered by the Uni
verslty of Minnesota.
And he also makes it possible to
have the hospital placed in charge Of

from the University Of Vienna to come
to the University of Minnesota and

Later he was able to get around

he was wasting his time His father
by that time wanted him to be a
cobbler. since his affliction prevented
him from following the blacksmith's
trade.
But young Eustis taught school In
