THAT WHISKY DECISION.

What has happened to the whisky
decision? is n question many people
would like to have answered. Some
time since II was announced with q
considerable flourish of trumpets that
Secretary Wilson had finally adopted
tho views Of the agricultural chemist,
Dr. Wiley, and would shortly an.
nounce Il decision under the pure food
act which would put a certain contin.
gent OF whisky manufacturers out of
business. DR.. Wiley has studied the
whisky question for several years.
spending considerable time abroad in
visiting Scotch, Irish and Continental
distilleries He has always leaned
toward the contentious of particu.
lar faction which formerly exploited
his statements as advertisements.
Thhis practice was discontinued ow.
ing to the objection on the part OF
officials to Dr. Wiley's name and gov.
eminent position being utilized to aid.
vcrtiso certain brands OF intoxicating
liquors.
According TO the original announce.
nouncement, Dr.. Wiley's friends had
won their contention, and Secretary
Wilson was shortly TO announce the
decision. Then came hiatus, and
up to this writing there has been
nothing doing" Rumor has 1t that

port with the chemical department an.
pealed TO President Roosevelt over
the heads of DR.. Wiley and Secretary
wilson. Rumor again has 1t that the
President took the ground that Wiley
did not treat the other whisky men
fairly In the proposed decision. Final.
ly. rumor has 1t that the original de-
cislon Is being rewritten, and when
1t appears will differ very materially
from the outline SO gleefully spread
abroad not long ago. Quien sabe!
In any event 1t is amusing to watch
the whisky men chase each otehr
around tho town like squirrels in
cage.
The public often hears, through the
agency OF certain interested parties
ana publications, of the awful and per.
nicious activities OF the agents of the
whisky men who are fighting DR. WI.
ley. But these same Interested mar.
Ties and publications never mention
the agents of the whisky men who
are boosting and backing Wiley. AS
matter of fact both sides are well,
represented here, the blenders in the
person OF their attorney and the
straight whisky men by the president
OF their combination. Each has his
aides de camp busily engaged, and
the smoke OF their camp fires are
seen rrom thousand hills. The
strain fwaiting for decision is
proving on their nerves, for until It is
finally approved no one can tell what
IL VIII be. Some speculation has lseen
mad as to whether Wiley will resign
IN case the decision ultimately goes
against him. Such speculation is Idle

For a week Rowena had been fiat

stairs and interviewing a seemingly
endless line of real estate agents AMI
Janitors. Each morning she set out
blithely, and each evening she came
back fatigued and disheartened. "The

"Yes'm," said he of the trim suit
and brass buttons.
"Pd like to look at one on the third

Rowena's smile was one of her chief
charms. 1t lighted up her piquant face
and showed dimple lurking in her
cheek. 1t would captivate any one
from king to an elevator boy.
The third floor of the Edgemere
proved desirable from every point of
view. Rowena was delighted. "And

The boy gaped at her. Fifty dol
