New York. A young man who

the first afternoon of his work to
have his grim superior come to him
and say:
"I guess you'd better take your

work that needs t be done and it
will take you about all evening."

Leslie's Weekly, in comment. ng on
Dr. Wiley's case, expresses itself in
part as follows:
"Dr. Wiley Is not the author of the
pure-food law. It would continue to
be hi forced whether he were in the
public service or not. He has occu
pied a subordinate place in the de
partment, but has always managed to
make :t appear that he was the only
ehmpion of pure food at Washington.
The public may rest assured that the
pure-food law will be enforced just
ns vigorously and earnestly whether
Wiley says or goes."
This is about what those who are
familiar with Leslie's Weekly would
logically expect to find "n that publi
cation, says The Journal of the Am
erican Medical association The an
tagonism of some Journals is to be
desired rather than their approbation:
Lejd'o'f is one of them. For years
tiv, re have appeared at intervals spe
cious'y written "special articles" in
this publication devoted to the ex
portation of "patent medicines" and
quackery. Oren Ineal, the eye quack
of Chicago, the widespread fake Via
vi, and the Alexander cancer cure
each of these in turn has been thei
subject of fulsomely laudatory articles
appearing in Leslie's Weekly. L'nd' r
;he circumtanees. it is evident that'
this journal's antagonism to Dr. Wi-j
ley is one more point in his favor.
One of Dr. Whey's grfatest assets is
the character of the enemies h" has '
made. 1

that was put before him, and there
was a strong idea n his mind that
this super'cr was sonr-thip.'? far worse
than he had ever believed before,
gruff and grim as the elder man had
always been So in spite of the bright
light that his bride threw on the
whole affair, and the cheeriness w'th
which se foretold promotions that
were bound to come out of this re
sponsibility, he was very rebellious
when, late on the fourth day, the su
rerior officer approached.
"Do you think you like to work

"No, I wouldn't," he blurted. ".Voir

There was Just a hint ef a grin
about the elder man's mouth.
"I suppose you think I'v hten
prett hard with you?" he asked.
"You certainly have." snorted the
bridegroom.
"Now, look here, my boy." said
the elder, laying an arm on his shoul
der. "I'm married a long time. I
know all about the anxiety on your
part to get home to your wif' and
