One of Senator Mason’s.

“A friend of mine,” said Senator Mason, “met a traveler from the East out in Illinois, and after looking him over carefully in order to avoid embarfassing mistakes, put the question: “ ’Do you drink ?’ “ ‘That’s my business,’ bluntly replied the stranger. “ ‘I understand, but have you any other occupation?’ was the quick reply, and they parted in the hotel lobby.”
