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.
