In many respects" said Mr.. Augustus
Goodwin OF Melbourne, Australia.
I'VE also went so far in the way OF
complimenting the states, by imita-
ton, as to borrow largely from your
nomenclature. We call our upper legis-
lative chamber the senate, as you do,
and the other branch the house of
representatives. But in the number
OF senators we went a little farther
than the Americans. allowing six TO
each OF the colonies. instead OF two,
which each OF your states possess.

a magnificent capitol, but hardly dare

beautiful as yours in Washington.

OF these products, not being wanted

certained are not farm values. since
TO the original farm value OF the prod

charges and profits which the prod
ucts must bear in the course Of a dis
tribution that is often intricate in it's
business details.
"The export value OF the exported

out what was called a cellar, but
which was really an excavation made

Watching a Steeple Jack.

The nimble acrobatics of a steeple jack
made necessary in repainting the flag pole
on the It'll street wing of the Interior De-
partment building attracted the attention
of numerous passersby this morning. The
workman climbed to the top of the pole
and removed the gilded ball that caps it
early this morning. He regilded the ball on
the roof of the building and then again
assembled the pole with the ball in his hands
and returned it to its place. Descending but
for moment. he returned to the top of the
pole with bucket of white paint and pro-
ceeded to repaint the entire pole. The num-
erous trips up and down the pole attracted
the attention of persons passing along
18th street and an interested crowd
watched the painter throughout the day.
The painter will employ his unique accom-
plishments in refurbishing all the flag poles
of the Interior Department.
