derson. "Which Is tbo handsomer?" spoke up some
ono standing nearby, much to tho embar
rassment of tho Indies. Quick as a flash Mr.
Henderson turned to tho mother of the

and still a woman of much beauty. "Their

could havo been no happier reply.
Senator Mason Is a ready and captivating
speaker, says a Washington lottor. Ho Is a
wit and can construct an epigram as well
as John J. Ingnlls, William J. Ilryan or
Jonathan P. Dolllvcr. I never saw him dis
concerted but once. It was this way:
Tho senato was considering tho Internal
rovenuo features of tho Dlngley bill, and
Lindsay had offered an amendment, tnxlng
wood alcohol. Tho protectionists with char
acteristic hypocrisy said that alcohol was a
raw material, and they regarded It strangn.
that a democrat should wish to tax It. Lind
say retorted that wool also was a raw ma
terial, but that ho saw no disposition on
tho republican eldo to leavo wool on tho frco
list.
And then Lindsay proceeded to make a
sledge-hammer argument such ns only ho
could mnko In nil that senate. Mason nd
drcrscd tho chnlr: "Mr. President, will tho
senator from Kentucky permit mo to nsk
a question 7" And then a colloquy something
llko this occurred:
Lindsay Certainly, I will hear the sena
tor's question. -j
Mason Is not tho tax on spirituous
liquors based on tho fact that they are
luxurious?
Lindsay I think ao.
Mnson I will ask tho senator If wood al
cohol Is a beverage?
Lindsay I understand It Is In Chicago.
Tho big Kentucklnn was as solemn ns a
clock when ho sent that shot, but the senate
threw dignity to the winds and laughed audi
bly. Mason fell Into 'his chair nnd laughed,
too. It waa tho first tlmo ho was over com
pletely knocked out.
