Young Sam Randall Gets a Political Position
for His Chum.

Washington Special.
Sam Randall, jr., is political leader among
the boys of Capitol Hill He is ten or twelve
years of age, and wears spectacles, which makes
him look even more like his father than nature
intended During the late campaign his faith in
Cleveland never wavered, although his school
fellows were nearly all for Blaine Among
his comrades he had one Joe budding
ton, who emulated him in the steadfast-
ness of his Democracy, and Sam deter
mined to reward him with an Office. AS
soon as Congress assembled Sam called upon
Colonel Jim Wintersmith, oor-keeper of the
House, and demanded place as page for his
friend Joe. The Colonel told him to bring Joe
down some day and he would see what could be
done. Last week the two boys appeared
at the Capitol, and Sam told the Col
onel that Joe now ready to be sworn
in. nor would he be pacified until the oath was
administered. Nov you're a page, Joe I told
you Id get you something good when Cleveland
got in" said SAM and the two boys went away
in full faith that Joe was on the roll. He re-
ported for duty promptly the next morning, and
the Colonel concluded that the best way out of it
was to keep him. The parents of the two boys
knew nothing of the scheme until it had been
successfully carried out.
