and Nobby! Take Me Homo for
Eight-seventy-ilve!" and goes in
and procures it, wearing the same

unless, so be, it should occur to
the gentlemanly purveyor to re
move it.
Once or twice a year he does this,

Augustus Owsley Stanley doesn't
give much time to the consideration
of his personal sartorial embellish
ment. Nor does ho. A suit of clothes
Is a suit of clothes with Stanley, con
trived for the utilitarian purpose of
covering the body, not for the pur
poses of plumage or parade.
"A. O.," said a friend who ob
served Mr. Stanley sitting at the
head of the house committee that is
investigating, tho steel trust, "you
dught to spruce up a little. For
Heaven's sake, go and get you an
other suit of clothes!"
"What's the matter with these?"
inquired Stanley. "I've only worn
them a year or so."
"You ought to get a new suit,"
persisted the friend.
"All right," replied Stanley geni
ally. "If you say so, old man, I'll
do it." And he went and bought a
fine layout for se.ven-sixty-two.
Clothes are the least of Stanley's
concerns. He la of an inquiring
turn pf mind. For several years he
has been crusading against the steel
trust and desiring to know about the
inner working of that beneficent
as Judge Gary says organization.
Inasmuch as he Js a' democrat and
every house of which he has been a
member until the present one has
been republican, Stanley's thirst for
information has not been supplied
with an official assuager. The re
publican majority wanted no investi
gation of the steel trust, or, if they
did want one, restrained themselves
with marvelous and stoic heroism.
Furthermore, they couldn't see
where a democrat from Kentucky
could put one over anyhow. Nor
did they. However, it so happened
that, for this and for many other
reasons, the present house is demo
cratic; and no sooner had it or
ganized than Stanley raised the long
yell for his cherished investigation
and got it, being made chairman of
the special committee that is now
inquiring Into the billion-dollar en
terprise, where the witnesses in
variably speak of Andrew Carnegie
as "Andy," thus showing scant rev
erence for that busy promulgator of
libraries and universal peace.
He is full of curiosity, is Stanley.
He goes around asking: "Why?"
One day he said: "Comparing men
to dogs, if I do not malign the dogs,
men naturally divide into the same
classes as dogs. Now there is the
bird-dog he's an investigating chap,
going about to find out what is going
on; and there's the bulldog, who
wants to fight; and the hound, who
is good for speed and so on. Tak
ing my own case, I'm of the bird-dog
type. I'm an investigator. I want
to know what's going on."
And, by the same token, that is
what he is doing now wanting to
know what's going on and what has
been going on in the steel trust
being reasonably successful in find
ing out, too.
Stanley was born in Shelby county,
Kentucky, of one of the bluest of
the blue-grass families, but .moved
over to Henderson after he began the,
practice of law. He is a gregarious
citizen and would just as lief meet
up with night-riders as -with preach
ers perhaps liefer. At any rate,
pursuing his studies of the varied
human nature of western Kentucky,
he came to bo acquainted not -only
with tho high and eminent but also
with various other classes of society;
and he defended a lot of those vari
ous other classes when it happened
they were in contravention of the
statutes in numerous cases made and
provided. He was successful at the
bar, being a pleader for fair; and
tho result was that the various other
classes all become his devoted fol
lowers. He Is a spellbinder who can
roach up and yank tho burning stars
from the everlasting heavens too;
and he put in a good 'deal of time
making speeches for various candi
dates. Discussing his political activities
with his wife one day, he said: "I
believe I could be elected to con
gress." "Pshaw!" replied his wife. I don't
believe you could."
"I reckon
Stanley.
I could," asserted
"I dare you!" exclaimed his wife.
Stanley took the daTe and went
out and was elected to the Fifty
eighth congress, and has been com
ing back regularly every two years
since. Three or four years ago he
began his series of attacks on the
steel trust in strong, able, analytical
speeches; for, with all his occasional
extravagance of rhetoric, Stanley is
a digger and a student, and he had
facts at h!a control.
Politically ho is one of the com
ing men in Kentucky. He is widely
known and very popular in the state,
where he is always referred to as
"A. O." They wanted him to be a
candidate for governor a" time ago,
but he declined; and it is more than
probable that eventually he will get
to the senate. Indeed, that is prob
ably his ambition. He is not only
good at sustained effort in political
speaking but he is quick and ready in
rough-and-tumble debate either on
the floor of the house or on the
stump.
"I don't say Stanley is a night
rider," asserted an opponent; "but
if he is nominated all the night
riders will vote for him." "And,"
Stanley retorted, "I don't say he is
a negro; Tmt all the negroes will vote
for him!" which made a' tremen
dous hit with the crowd.
Naturally Stanley reverences all
