csgo. lie Is known all over the country as
VII, raoonteur and orator. He deserves
al his fame, TOO, bat II would have taken
L..
present pitch II hs had not had some method
about his exuberaRce. For two or three
month sssaftSr his first appearance in congress
Mason made it a point u have new story
every day. Hs had an Immense reserve fund
10 draw on, for he has bsen telling stories all
ms life Ia few days it cams 70 be
known in ths cloak rooms that a member
could get story from Mason every day
just as he could get newspaper from TIC
printing Office. Members used % surround
Mason IN skies and dozens, and demand
tbs days instaIlmeaL Those who didnt
hear il first handed heard II repeated,
invariably labeled BILLY Mason's latest.
After his days contribution 10 tho universal
bat unpublished literature Of his country had
been fairly started on its rounds Mason would
20 out into the corridors and wait for the
correspondents 70 come along. By couple,
and tripletS the newspaper men heard the
days tale repeated, and il was very un-
lucky day Tor Mason in which one of hi:
yarns was not printed i'll six or eight OF the
most prominent papers in the country. Fame
comes raridly 10 a man who works for it with
much tact aud industry as this.
Two Of the greatest story tellers In this
country arc Dick Wintersmith and Gen.
Horace Porter The latter is like Mason in
that he endeavors 10 have "a new story every
day. New stories are not hard TO find, but
stories good enough 10 do justice TO the repu-
tation of 50 famous teller Us Porter are al
most as scarce Us sunstrokes in coal mines.
/ am told that Porter has correspondents IL
over the country, of whom Mason is one and
Wintersmith another, from whom he expects
contributions whenever they get hold of any
thing new and sparkling OF course, Win
terSInith, Mason anu all the others get in re-
turn the good things which fall in Porter's
way, and thus, you see, they have a sort o.
story tellers' exchange or trust.
