MY LADY NICOTINE.

Lord Decies and his bride are spend :
ing their honeymoon at Jekyll island,
off the Georgia coast, and a dispatch
from Brunswick says that when the
train stopped there on their ARRIVAL
the other day Ny Lord and My Lady
and after they had finished eating
that Lady Decies took her seat at the
window in view OF the crowd took a
cigarette from jeweied case, lighted
II and quietly began TO puff, where
upon the crowd on the outside began
to cheer; and this stuff has been tele-
graphed TO the newspapers. It is
hardly worth the tolls, but people Will
read 1t, and doubtless some earnest
rcforner Will preach about 1t, or write
about 1t, or talk about 1t as If ii really
happened II the story be true,
we are very sorry, Indeed TO know
that Lady Decics is given TO the
cigarette habit. 1t would be so much
more manly IL She would smoke a
pipe or a cigar. The cigarette should
be left entirely to the young fellows
who hang around the street corners,
and wear spats, and talk slang, and
think they are having Il good time.

He led the way to the cheerless

a panel picture which hung upon the
wall. His face frightened at the first
sketch of an apple tree laden with
spring blossoms, their white petals
daintily tinged with pink Nell had
always loved thezS blooms. Then fol-
lowed a second sketch Of the same
tree. Now numberIess rosy checked
apples showed among its green leaves.
At the last picture David turned sud
denly to the old man:
"She Is not happy" he said, with con-
viction. 1t was the tree In winter,
standing bare and desolate. its naked
branches pointing to leaden sky, and
beneath the picture was one written
word-"Bereft."

The Bugaboo About Wiley.

Food poisOners and quack doctors
have once more set out to secure the
scalp of DR.. Wiley.
The result is that the whole country
is stirred TO the Wiley defense. and a
yeritable blizzard of letters from the
people commencing and defending
Wiley have poured in upon the presi-
dent and the department of justice.
Attorney General Wickersham is the
visible and active Wiley denunciator
He charges that in violation Of law
Wiley paid Dr.. E. II. Rusby, expert
chemist, $40 a day for professional
work and $50 for appearance in court.
As chief chemist, Wiley had to have
expert testimony in trials. The law
forbids paying experts over $4,000 a
year, or a per diem of Sill Rusby
would not assist Wiley for less than
his price, and he was not needed every
day So, DR.. Wiley had him put on
the salary list at 81, 500 a year, intend
ing TO get SI,600 worth of work out of
him at $20 and $50 day
For this, General Wickersham is
spokesman in the effort TO get DR..
case a violation of law therefore, let
the attorney generals precept be judg-
ed by the example in his own depart
ment, where he took advantage of his
privileges, unlimited by law, OF fixing
fees Of special attorneys and paid a
long list of favored attorneys more
than they would have been allowed by
law il they had worked on q salary.
In many cases the "speciN assistant
attorneys" resigned as regular salaried
employees under Wickersham to become
special counselors" by his appoint
ment. There was no need or excuse
for this. The men would have done
the same work in the routine OF their
regular work on a salary basis. Be-
tween March 5. 1909, and May 81, 1911,
special counsel fees paid out in TIE
department. OF justice amounted TO
$S45. 600.
Granting that the cases of Wicker
sham and Wiley tally in general effect,
yet Wickershsm paid out the money
needlessly and in solid chunks Of from
$1,000 down, while Wiley proposed to
spend $500.
Wiley had TO have the service. DR..
Rusby was not demanding an exhor-
bitant fee and no one holds that he
was. DR.. Wiley had actually paid Rus
by just 500.
In the enforcement of the pure food
law DIR. Wiley has made for himself
numberless enemies among the dopers,
quacks and food poisoners. II was
Wiley who disclosed to the public that
benzoate OF soda. 50 widely used In the
manufacture OF certain foods as q pre-
servarive, is rank poison to the human
system and also that IL was used by
the ancient Egyptians In the prepsra-
tons with which they embslmed their
dead
