PERSONAL AND LOCAL DOTS-
In ancient days when a lover wooed
And asked a girl to be his wile,
The maiden fidr
Would make him swear
That he would stick to her for life.
At present, when a lover wooes
And asks a girl to share his lot,
She gently sighs
And then replies,
“It all depends on what you’ve got.”

Stories'of Senator Mason.
The latest story about Senator Billy
Mason concerns the energetic Senator
Chandler, of the Granite State, says
the Washington Post. ’ Long ago the
largeliearted Illinois lawmaker had a
friend whom he has, in recent years,
lost sight of- The friend lived for a
time in Illinois, and later tried his for
tunes farther west, in the state of Col
orado. There he participated in re
publican politics, won the esteem of
his fellow workers, and early in the
present session of congress was named
by Maj. McKinley as postmaster of bis
town. He had been here more than a
week before the session, attempting to
secure the appointment, and, being a
poor man, was running very low in
purse before his name reached the
senate. Then there was a Jong wait
for confirmation, and he was on the
verge of despair.
At last he came across the friend of
his boyhood, Senator Mason, and to
him he poured out the story ol bls
trials. He had purchased a round trip
ticket, the limit of which had nearly
expired, and bis nomination was still
buried with a heap of similar other pa
pers, and little chance of its being
reached.
"Just stay here for a minute,” said
Senator Mason, after listening patient,
ly to bis story. The meeting was in
the senate corridor, and the senate was
about to begin an executive session.
The Illinois senator entered the cham
ber and immediately called up the
Colorado case, requesting confirmation
at once.
"I object to that unless there are
some unusual circumstances,” put in
Senator Chandler.
"Well, there are unusuaf circum*
stances,” replied Senator Mason, and
he began to talk pathetically of bis
friend’s hardships. "Why, his wife
died ”
“That is enough,” interrupted Sena
tor Chandler, peremptorily; “I with
draw my objection,” and the nomina
tion was conarmed then and there.
"I didn’t intend to deceive you,”
said Senator Mason to Senator Chan
dler a few minutes later, “but you
didn’t allow me to finish my sentence.
This man’s wife died tjwo years age.”
A member of the House tells anoth
er story oa Senator Mason, which is a
little older, concerning a lady who
keeps a local boarding house. The
senator boarded there for a while, as
did the representative. The lady be*
longs to one of the well known churches
here, and is very punctual in her at*
tendance on morning services. For
this reason she insists that her boarders
must be down early for breakfast Sun
day morning. The senate? - was tot
aware of this regulation and hi* first
Sunday in the house came down stair*
rather late.
“You are not on time this morning,
senator,” said the lady gently, but
rather reprovingly.
"No, madam. I spent a half hour
on my knee* this morning.”
“That was very praiseworthy of you,”
spoke up the tending mistress.
“Hunting for a d—n collar button
that rolled upon the floor and under
the bureau,” declared the senator con
cluding his sentence.
