followed the sermon the conversation
came to the important subject in hand,

The ship had lain becalmed in trop-

of air stirred the mirrorlike surface of
the sea or the limp sails that hung
from the yards like drapery carved In

no longer. He piped up all hands on
deck and requested the passengers to
also come forward
Il must ask all of you," he said, "to
give me every match that you have"
Wonderingly the passengers and crew
obeyed. The captain carefully arranged
the matches in his hands as each man
handed him his store until all had
been collected. Then he threw them
all overheard but one, drew a cigar
from his pocket and, striking the soli-

Samuel j. Randall of Pennsylvania
was an avowed protectionist Democrat
and a -Ssnan who, his colleagues had
learned, usually was able to get his
way. Randall had first entered con-
gress In 1862. He was a quiet, per-
sistent, Woodworking person who at
tracted little attention for several
years. Then the Republicans, sure Of
their majority and wishing to expedite
business, undertook to adopt rules
which would prevent obstruction. The
quiet Mr. Randall set himself against
the attempt He led the small Demo
cratic majority with a skill SO unusual
that more than once he blocked the
Republicans way until it was too late
to pass the measure, His endurance
seemed unlimited From one session
lasting forty-six hours and twenty
minutes, where Randall had forced the
roll to be called seventy-five times, he
came out as fresh as he went in. At
another time in the fight over the
force bill he was on the floor for sew
enty-twO consecutive hours. = Ida NJ
