J.IAOHINE" tDNOUNOED. Vexas Member Asserted th'at .Part: Had Deserted People's Interest, But Would be Oalled to Ac tount. The State. Washington, May 22.-The so called republican ''machine'' was th< subject of it scathing denuniciation it the house of representatives at th, hanids of Mr. Randel .(Texas), wh< said that the leaders of the house wil( t-owtitute and run the ''machine' hiad done absolutely nothing except t< itiake hypocritical pretense as to sOmi things and to uhblushingly advocat( the ''stand pat" doctrine in othei things. ''The compileteness with which th( republican party had deserted thc p-eople's interest is apparent in itl treatment of every vital question be fore the congress,'' said Mr. Randell. He was of the opinion ithat the con centration of wealth, so great ii amount as to stagger the comprehen sion of human intellect was greatei menace to free government than all the armed hosts of its enemies. He said the attitude of the republican party toward the territories is an other proof that it is unworthy tc rule. "The sisterhood of states,'' he said, ''should make common cause tin rebuking the cruel and outrageous crime committed by the republican party. Impelled by fear, the ma chine may yet admit one state, but the people will understand the mo tive and should not stay the hand of retribution. "These machine leaders haVe been and are deceiving the great mass of voters who put them in power. The rank and file of the republican party wants justice, and if only they would examine the record of their represeni tatives the avenging hand of an out raged constituency would strike dowi tiese stand pat statesmen and lave a new deal as well as a squtiare one.'

She Threw nin Over. A I ffila4elplia politician was talk- t img about the late -Samuel H.

Thtit was implicit. obedience to t orders. If he told you to do a thing, V that, and nothing else, was what you I were to do. 'He didn't like a subor- il dilate to try an(d improve on his or- e ders. t 'Once I tried to improve on an or- w der of Mr. Aslibridge's. .An errand a I had been sent on, I did better, as I thought, and he told me a story. ''He said that, there was a young 1111111 inl love with a rich and beautiful A girl. The girl informed him one af ternooii that the next. day would be II her birthday. He said lie was glad to C hear it. lie said he would send her s( next morning a bouquet of roses, one B rose for each year. li 'So that. iiiglit lie wrote a note to his florist, ordering the immediate de- 1l livery of twenty roses to the young hi lady. But the florist,. reading this d order thought lie would pleasec the young man by improving on it, so lie said to his clerk: d '' 'Here's an order from young Smith for twenty roses.

A number of army officers in Washington were one day exchang- F ing stories of the campaign in Cuba during the summer of 1898. One of them was reminded of an occasion A when a volunteer officer thought, to e give his men an object lesson in per- e sonal bravery without much risk to himself. - The American regiment had been brought into position, occupying a h sunken road near Santiago. Spanish batteries were busily engaged in h pouring shot and shell into the sur 0111ding vitritory. his lire how- i ever, Was passilg over the regiment hidden in the roadway, so that really there was little dange, to them. ,till the officer meItioned thcouht the op. portunlity a good one to do 11 little ''posing,'' so lie climbed a bank of b slight grade and stood behind a big tree. It. was not long before a shell struck the tree, scattering bark and splinters in all directions. The officer who tells the story overheard the fol lowing conversation between two of the privates in the road beneath: ''Say, Bill, it was a lucky thing for the colonel that the tree was there.'' ''Sure thing 1)" responded the see ond private, ''but you can bet your life if it hiadn't been for the tree, the I colonel would never have been there in the first place!') Wrong In His Head. A Yorkshire mill worker charged with having set fire to a hwrge hayrick t was dlefended1 on the ground that lhe - was not altogether responsible for his ,' ,aetions.

" Can you mention any occasion on s which the prisoner behaved in a man ner to warrant your sttmn? he - was asked by the prosecuting counset. - ''Yes,'' answered the witness. ''Ah mind once at hie got hawf a crown K too much for his wage, an1 " s ''Well?" said counsel as the wit ness hesitated. e ''He took it back to t' manager !" -concluded the witness amidst a roar of laughter. g Wealth In Water. e Philadelp,hia Bulletin.
