Washington Letter in New York Tribune.
Senator Billy Mason. of Illinois, is with
the legislators once more. The wise ones
say that he Is making a farewell appear
ance, but the curly haired statesman has
apparently a reserve Of hope to draw on.
At all events, he came back with a good
story. which he fired at the first victim
he could lay hands on in the cloakroom.
Thought you were lost, Billy, said COL
league, mildly, to Mason. That was the
opening Mason most wanted, and he replied
with the following story. which doesn t
quite settle the question as to the next
senator from Illinois, but is worth telling:
You know there was a fellow on the
train that 1 came in on who was somewhat
in the position you put me down in," said
the senator. HE put his ticket away so
carefully that when the conductor came
for 1t he couldn't find ii. He dug in every
solitary pocket, he took off his coat and
shook it, he grew red in the face and pro-
fame in the mouth, but no ticket could be

ever had a ticket at ALL? queried the con-
ductor impatiently. The unhappy passen-
ger assured the official of the purchase OF
