But the Alnalc Rrached the Spot at
Which She Alined.
The genuinely tactful married woman
of the present day doesn't portray Ikt
husband's shortcomings to him in a di
rect manner. She lulls it all to the baby
when he is sittiuir iu the same room. The
way this scheme works was illustrated
in a happy little !f'J2..iU per moutu home
on Capitol hill the other evening. The
man and his wife had had a few words.
He was sitting by the front window,
reading the paper, and she was goo-goo-ing
to the baby in her lap.
"Yes, she crooned to the baby, it;
father is a nasty, ill tempered brute, isn't
he, tum-tnms, and he's always snarling
and growling around the house, isn't be,
mamma s itty oopsy-woopsy
Then she glanced at husband and fa
ther out of the corner of her eye in order
to ascertain if she had succeeded iu get
ting a rise out of him. He only crackled
the paper nervously, however, and went
on reading.
"And he's getting to be as stingy as a
miser, too, isn t he, mamma s oybsy-boy-
bsy?" she went onr daudlin&-the baby np
and down. And be makes a lug row-
over every penny 1 speuu in me uouse,
doesn't he, mamma's pet, and he known
that I've made over the drosses I hud
when I married him over and over again
until they're nothing but ragscs, doesn't
he, mamma's itty tipsy-wipsy '!"
Again she glanced over at him to sie
if she had him going, but he went right
on reading the Same line for the seveuty-
fourth time, when she resumed:
And he dresses himself like a nabob,
doesn't he, mantpia's oobsy-woobsy, and
he's never at home, and he spends more
money on drink and cigars than he lets
me have for a week g grocery bills, and
goodness gracious only knows what
keeps him ont until about 2 0 clock in tbe
morning three nights in the week, and be
treats baby s itty g anmother like n
brute, and he never has a civil word for
anybody, and be is beginning to drink
like a fish and to neglect and hate his
family, Isn't he, mamma's topsy-wopsy 7"
Say, broke In the husband and fa
tber at this point, throwing down his pa
per, "that's a durned pretty way for you
to "talk to me, isn't It?"
She looked up at him with an expres
sion of Intense surprise.
I haven't said a word to you, she
said In a wrongfully accused tone,
waa only talking to baby. I suppose you
will permit me to talk to my own baby
won't yon?"
Why, of course a woman has a right to
talk to her own baby, hasn't she? This
system of hammering him on bis weak
spots, Involving, as It does, much less
danger of a fierce and noisy come bsck
than If he Is addressed In direct fashion,
is worthy of tbe highest recommendation.

evening a number of men were discuss
Ing sports and sporting men wheu the
subject of nerve and grit came up. Cue
of tbe party, a well known Califoruiun.
who knew "Lucky" Baldwin lo the old
days, said:
Baldwin was about the hardest man
to be chiseled out of anything he set
bis heart on getting that I ever met up
with. A whole lot of people tried to
put It on him In business and other sort
of deals, but none of these ever suc
ceeded in catclilug 'Lucky' Baldwin
sufficiently asleep to make their plans
stick.
"Horsemen still talk about n funuy
game In which Baldwin flgured on one
of the Chicago race tracks a uumber of
years ago. Baldwin had Irougbt bis
magnificent string of thoroughbreds to
Chicago to make nn effort to annex the
swell stakes thnt were then on tnp on
the tracks In the windy town, and In
got them "home first or iu the money in
many of the biggest events. Well, he
had one of his finest horses entered In
a valuable loag distance event, and
Baldwin was particularly anxious to
win this race, not so much for the
purse end of it as for the glory of cap
turing the stake. His horse Just about
figured to win, too, und Baldwin In
tended to 'go down the Hue' on the ani
mal's chances, not only at tbe track,
but at all of the hip; poolrooms In the
couutry. He stood to clean up consid
erably more than $100,000 on the horse
If the brute got under the wire first.
Baldwin's regular stable Jockey was
taken sick on the morning of the race.
and the old man bad to hustle around i
for another boy to ride his horse In the
big event. Trotn smother horseman he
bought for a big round stmi the release
of a lilfrh grade rider, who was to have
taken the mount on 11 thoroughbred
that didn't figure to get near the money
In the stake race. Baldwin gave the
Jockey his instructions as to the way
he wanted tbe horse ridden, and then,
when the betting opened, his commis
sioners dumped Baldwin's money Into
the ring In sucli large quantities that
the horse became au overwhelming fa
vorite. "A quarter of nn hour before the
horses were duo to go to tbe post n
ell known bookmaker, to whom Bald
In bad often exhibited kln-l iess In
less prosperous diivs. ran to where the
ohl man was standing, chewing a
straw, In his linrn.
'Baldwin,' said the bookie to the
old man. "there's a Job to bent you. and
you're going to get beat. They wanted
me to go In with 'em. but you've a!
ays been on the level with inc. and I
otildn't stand for It. The ring b;?
bought up your Jock, mid your horse
Is going do be snatched.'
'Much obliged for telliug tne that.'
replied the old man. 'I'll Just ma'.;e a
stab to see that the boy doesn't do any
Hatching, though.'
Baldwin borrowed another gun
from one of bis stable hands (In those
days he always enrrled one of his own
about as long as your nrml. and with
his artillery he strolled over the Infield
and took up his stand by the fence
nt the turn Into the stretch. He hadn't
mentioned to anybody what be was go
Ing to do. and the folks who saw the
old man making for the stretch turn
Imply thought that Baldwin wanted
to watch the rr.ee from thnt point of
view. He did. for that matter, but he
happened to have another end In view
Well, the horses got r. way from Im
post In an even Imtich. a:i.l then Bald
win's horse went out to iniil.e the itiu
Ding. The Jockey's lib-n was to race
tbe horse's In i:d o!T ami then pull hlin
In the stretch, making It apiienr as If
the animal had tired. Baldwin bad
Instructed the Jock to piny a waiting
game aud muke his bid toward the fin
teh. The horse simply ouiclassed bis
company, however, and be didn't show
any ludlcntlo-js of leg wcailners what
ever ns he uundiil the bacUstrctcli on

that the crooked Jock wss sowing the

were still a hundred feet from him.
Baldwin let ont n yell to unmet his

his two guns In the sunlight nod bawl

" 'Lcggo tbnt borae s hood, you mon
