down from the galleries and find that
the bald heads of the great do not differ
much from the bald heads Of the rest of
us. A big man is not much bigger than
a little one as they move abe t the floor
together. Washington is a 3veler. In
a way it puts the whole herd IN com
mon basis, although spasu 1dically it
sets up a sort of social fabric that de-
ludes itself with the belief that it is an
imitation court.
Washington is unique Inong the
cities of the world in many ways. No
other is so wholly given up to the af-
fairs of government. Other capitals
have trade or commerce of some kind to
divert the attention Washington has
nothing Of the sort. The resident pop
ulation is feeding on the public crib or
doing something to meet the needs of
government employees.
Washington is the United States in
miniature. Tillman, the South Caro-
lima curio, is on exhibition along side of
the dignifed Hale or Smoot the Nor
mon. From all states they come, sena.
tors, congressman, visitors, sightseers,
job hunters, each rejecting the pecu-
liarities of the region he comes from.
The odd dialects, the novel garb, the
differences that mark the immensity of
this big land, are all portrayed at Wash
ington, on the street, in the hotel at
the capitol and elsewhere. Along with
its grandeur and brilliancy, the city has
its pathetic side. Washington is per-
petual grave of disappointed hopes.
The whole story of life in the capital is
one Of popular favor. Merit or individ-
ual efforts counts for little. No man
has yet been president more than eight
years, and tenure of Office in any branch
is dependent upon the whim of the
people or on some one responsible to
that whim. The result is constant
watching of the headman and his axe
and continually alarmed people.
| When the end comes the unfortunate,
il he happens to be a department en-
ploye, finds that he has wasted years of
his life in gaining an experience that is
Of no use to him in other fields or with
other employers, for every concern but
the government does business on the
basis of days work for reasonable pay,
and a probable job while the quality of
the work is satisfactory. With the gov
ernment it is different. The pay is
what the combined effort of spoil-hunt-
ers can make it, and the job as light as
is possible. The capable young chap
who leaves the stimulous of the real
world to suck public teat at Washing
ton is to be pitied unless he is driven to
it by temporary hard luck, and he
should always reform if he can.
But to get back to our nut on. Wash
ington is always an interest point to
visit, and for those who hay the time
and money to spare it is a cd place to
stay awhile. Here are the icture gal
leries, the Smithsonian inst tuition. the
universities that are star ng out on
generously broad bases, he visible
stories of the country's history from the
organization of the union, md a pan
Drama of present human interest that
changes each day and hour.

A few counterfeiters have lately been

The tour OF the south usually includes
day or two at Washington, for while
the national capital is merely on the
borderland, it is the gateway to the
most that lies farther dowr in Dixie,
and the tide of travel flows oward the
most entertaining points.
The loyal American has cause to be
proud of the capital of his country, for
it is unique among the cities OF the
world and when it has attained any CON
siderable age it will be without rival.
Washington is the only city of any pre-
tensions on the face of the glo0e that
has been made to order and made sue
cessfully. st. Peterburg, in way, is
city created for seat of government,
but ST. Petersburg is not the handsome
city that Washington is nor can it ever
be, for various reasons. l have seen
most of the renowned capitals of the
Old World and am proud to say that
none of them outclasses Washington.
Constantinople, with its splendid mar
BILE palaces, presents a spectacle OF mar
velous beauty when seen from the water
front, but the most of the city is squalor
and dirt. Paris, dear to the heart OF
Frehchman, is a model in some quarters
but all OF Paris was not included in the
beauty scheme of the French emperor
Paris commenced too late to be model.
Tt was too large to rebuild entirely.
London makes no pretensions. Berlin
and Vienna have their admirable
features but each has also its seamy
side. Washington with its broad
streets and avenues will always advance
towards the picturesque and magniti-
cent, until it must be the ideal city Of
the world, as we'll as the model of seat
of government. Washington is clean,
fresh and interesting from the minute
the dome of the great white State
House is outlined in the sky until the
last glimpse of the city is caught far
down the Potomac.
Washington is city built to order.
1t was created by the most progressive
people on the globe for the specific pur-
pose of providing home for the ad-
ministration of the government, and
the whole design has had that one end
in view. The streets and avenues are
broad and lined with magnificent trees.
The buildings are of such character as
great nation can build. Washington
is the office of the United States, there.
fore 1t is city of big things, A strang-
or can get hopelessly lost in the tangles
OF the basement of the capitol building.
The Congressional Library is the finest
modern building known. Wherever the
eye turns some big thing is found in
Washington, until Washing ton is the
most interesting city of the country.
All things and all peoples meet in Wash
ington. 1t is the most co mopolitau,
the most aristocrat1c and lost demo-
cratic spot on earth, for here are the
Representatives Of all nation the emf
uent men OF all lands and al sections Of
our own country, and her, the mule
driver of yesterday is the p esident or
some other important fellow Of to-day.
A glimse of the Senate or House of
Representatives when either of those
reverend bodies is in session is worth
while. 1t skaters the idols to look

Caution Notices on Cigar Boxes Must
Bear No Advertising.
Caution notices on cigar boxes must
contain no advertising according to a
ruling sent out by the internal reve-
nue. department. The letter sent out
is as follows:
There have been submitted caution
notice labels intended to be used on
cigar boxes, one having the Typograph-
ical union label printed within the Dor
der of lines enclosing the caution no,
tice and tho other having the label just
below and outside of the border, or
printed on the mIrgin of the white pa.
per upon which the caution notice is
printed. The commissioner of inter
nal revenue holds that the law pre-
scribes the exact words or matter
which shall be printed on caution no
tice labels; therefore such label is dis
tinctively government one, and man
ufacturers have nc right to use it as
medium for advertising purposes in
any manner whatsoever"
The letter advises that, collectors
shall seize all cigars bearing the labe
on the caution notice. However, if c
manufacturer can show that he was
ignorant Of the law and regulations
and that he is willing to discontinue
the use of these, labels, it will DC sufi
cient if he will paste proper caution
notices over the present unlawful
ones.
