stepped into the vehicle.
The address he gave to the chauf-
feur was that Of the quiet uptown
apartment house.
The little old Irishwoman clad in
black silk opened the door. He fam
cied she had aged, but on seeing him
she broke into beaming smiles and
ushered him in with eager welcome.
The girl who was like Floyd was
standing in the firelit room. AS Stan
ton paused on the threshold, she re-
treated against the window opposite,
her fingers winding themselves hard
into the draperies, her marvellous gray
eyes wide and fevered. So they gazed
at each other, dumb.

As to- Biographies.

no " biographies
The announcement comes from Lon
don that a biograph of Mr.. Lloyd
George in four volumes is to be pub
lished this autumn. 1t is the latest
manifestation of curious modern
tendency to give to the world biog-
raphies of people while they are still
alive. A biography used to be regard
ed &C the crown, posthumously award
ed as the crown, posthumously award
to great man gone past recall, and
a record of his deeds for the benefit
Of succeeding generations. An old
man, at the close of long and inter-
esting life, might beguile the leisured
autumn of his days by inditing his
memoirs, and nothing is more fasci-
mating reading than such an autobi-
ograph we'll done. But the modern
world is too impatient to wait; it is
too impatient even. to wait till 1t is
quite certain that man In the popu.
lar eye really deserves biography at
all. We remember, a few years ago,
glancing at an authorized" life and
appreciation Of Mr.. G. K. Chesterton,
and 1t seemed a foolish thing to pub
lish the biograph of writer of thirty
five. It seems also a foolish thing to
publish the biography Of a statesman
of forty-nine. We say this In no dis
paragement Of Mr.. Lloyd George, al
though the four volumes that are to
be devoted to him at least suggest
comparison with the three volumes
in which Lord Morley managed to
compress what was most vital In the
long life of w. e. Gladstone.

GROSNfR'S BIG SELLING
OF HIGH GRADE
CLOTHING
AT VERY Low PRICES
kuppenheimef Clothes Combine
Quality and Style With tconom,
No Better Clothing Can Be
Found At Any Price.

The House OF Grosner has sold more
clothing this year than ever before.
There Is reason. The Overwhelming
superiority of Kuppcuheimer clothes,
the exclusive styles. the large variety
OF fabrics. the well-knOwn wearing
qualities OF these Suits and Ovcrcoats
has been a big factor In the unprrcc-
dented sale OF kuppenhc!mcr clothes
during the past year.
AS Is usually the case, the high quail
ity of Kuppenhelmer clothes has led to
the belief that they are also high
priced. Had We been able to correct
this erroneous idea and to have let the
I men Of the town know the fact that
though Kuppenheimer clothes are high
| in quality, they are correspondingly low
| In price, there would have been many
more men wearing kuppenheimcr
| clothes.
The Kuppenheimer suits at 1850 are
illustrstive Of the values we are offer
! ing. These suits cannot be duplicated
| In style, ft. or workmanship anywhere
| for SIS.
| The same that Is said Of our $3.50 suits
| can honestly be said OF all other kup-
| penheimer suits and oVercoats.
| Then there is the guarantee OF perfect
satisfa ction that goes with every suit or
| coat sold by the House OF Grosncr,

ROOSEVELT MEN IN
MASSACHUSETTS TO
OPEN WAR ON CRANE
Attempt Will Be Made to Get
Senatorial Preference
Primary Law.

BOSTON, May 5.-Colonel Roosevelts 8
followers in Massachusetts have started
an open war against the recollection of
w. Murray Crane to the United State
Senate. This became known today,
following the return of Matthew Hale,
chairman OF the Roosevelt Massachu-
setts convention, from conference with
the colonel.
The Roosevelt forces will attempt to
have Senatorial preferential primary
bill passed. The Massachusetts, senate
defeated a bill of this kind on Friday
by vote of 10 to 6. The bill will come
up for reconsideration tomorrow.
The first thing Mr.. Hale did when he
reached Boston was to have Raymond
II. OVeson, executive secrctary Of the
progressive Republicans of Massac lu-
sets, write to the members If the SEN
ate and enjoin upon them the necessity
of being In their seats tomorrow and
passing the bill.
Mr.. Hale also made a demand on the
Taft forces In this State for the four
delegates elected last ,Tursrlay IN the
Eighth and Tenth Congressional dis
tricts, on the ground that Colonel
Roosevelt received the preferential vote
in those districts, and that the Taft
men ought to give Roosevelt these be-
cause Roosevelt gave Taft the dele
gates-at-large elected for him where
the preferential vote was for the Presi-
dent,
