WASHINGT: LI ON CITY | SID ASHINGTON.— “That is the place where they send out seeds.” This is the familiar formula which many Washington guides use in de- scribing to tourists the wonders of the department of agriculture. This information was given through a meg- aphone by the conductor of the rubber- neck wagon to his patrons as they pass in front of the old red brick ad- ministration building. Officials and clerks within hearing of this brief de- scription throw down their pens (or, for the sake of pleasantry, should it be their newspapers?) and take on a look of disgust and injured pride. For 80 many thousand of strangers to be given the information or to get the impression that the feature of work for which the great department ot Ag- riculture has made itself famous or notorious {8 the sending out of seeds is monstrous. One of the humiliating the tourists appear to like it. They look with the proper awe-stricken stare and seem to be greatly im- INPRESENTATIVE Albert Johnson. the handsome and vociferous mem- ber from Oregon, nearly had a fine speech printed in a faraway coast paper for which Harry Brown is (ha' Washington correspondent. Johnson used to be a newspaper man in this city, He was night editor }| and copy editor and reporter and all the regular things which ars supposed to give newspaper men that broad and sympathetic view of large affairs. Johnson made a speech during the general debate on the tariff bill a few days ago. It was his first speech in the House. It was a good speech. taking it by and large, but the air was jammed full of speeches about that time and the only newspaper that was publishing them was the Congres- sional Record, However, Mr. Johnson did not want Portland to go unfed with erumbs from his table, so the evening fol- lowing the great event of his speech he started out to find Harry Brown and tell him all about it. He couldn't find Mr. Brown until the next day. “Say, Harry,” he remarked, “I tried !to find you last night, but I couldn't. I made a speech yesterday.” That did not impress Mr. Brown to any great extent, so Mr. Johnson con- IGHTY-FIVE | women teachers have just set out American men and and having passed the required examina tion for the Plilippine teaching serv- fce.

In front of the big four-story yellow brick house at the morthwest corner of 16th and P streets, next door south of Foundry Church, are two white lions. Apparently they have just left the covered porch and are strolling down the walk which leads from the front door to the sidewalk—that i:, they appear to be walking b-cause each lion has his right foreleg lirt | guarding a doorway on a much tray- eled street.

His paper had been advising him to cvt down the tariff stuff to the bone, 48 most of it was the sort of soft pap that goes well in the country districts, but hasn't much circulation in a well regulated news- paper. Furthermore, Brown {nvesti- gated and found that Representative Johnson had really filed 1,500 words— and the telegraph tolls to Oregon are enormous!
