Sioux Falls Press:-Wolves are be-
coming numerous and fierce in the
neighborhoOd of Miller, so fierce in
fact as to chase children and DESTROY
An effort will be made to
eradicate the pest, and it is to be
hoped with success, for as a neal
neighbor n wolf is not at all desira-
bic.
1t was not intended to let this get
out until after the Gov. had sent the
state militia here to protect the
town, but now we might as well tell
the whole thing. The major has or
dered II patrol of the city police
about the town while men are at
work building an eight foot board
fence to keep the wolves out. The
danger doesn't all come from wolves.
There are probably not two dozen
of them in Hand county, but jack
rabbits are also quite thick and fierce
this winter, owing to the fact that
their favorite food, the banana, has
been seriously effected by hot winds.
Jacks 60 mostly in pairs, and
lie will single a steer out from a herd
and start him on q run, with q lack
on either side. When under good
Roadway Mr.. Jack signals to Mrs.
Jack andeach grab a fore leg of the
flying steer, and draws it outward.
The result is that the steer suddenly
buries his horns in the ground with
such violence that his neck is broken.
Then Mr.. and Mrs. Jack quietly
make their meal. After they have
eaten they dapart and some coward
ly wolf who has been watching them
all this time will sneak up and pick
the bones clean.

New York's Trained Nurses.

Trained nurses say that bachelors. no
matter whether young or old, are the
most difficult patients in the world to
take care Of. one young woman begged
a hospital superintendent when a certain
very rich bachelor was sick in Septem
Der, Don't send me there. I'll take all
the teething babies and all the nervous
old women, but don't give me a fretty
bachelor" Yet the bachelors. poor fell
lows, must be cared for. and no one can
do IL but the soft-handed, gentle-voced
woman nurse.
When q trained nurse steps into a
household in obedience to the Doctors
call she carries with her small grip
sack. In five minutes she has slipped
into a dark gown, tied on her apron,
pinned on her cap. and is sitting by the
patients side She asks no questions.

words are dying slowly away. The pa

consult the other nurse, for when bache-
lors are 10 be cared for the trained nurses
90 In pairs. There is not one who would
be willing to take the responsibility
alone.
The accommodations for the trained
nurses are, in story-books. beautiful little
white chambers adjoining tho sick-room
OF the patient In real life. in the ave-
rage family, there is no accommodation
at all for the nurse. She must sleep any
where she can, and be comfortable with a
blanket on the floor. Great concession
If she has a couch. But the nurse Is
equal 10 emergencies.
In the training-school for nurses bed
making upon four chairs IL taught. The
chairs are placed facing each other. The
blankets are spread over the chairs pill
lows placed at head and back, and the
nurse gets a very comfortable sleep. III
she has nursed considerable time, she
has bought herself tiny alarm-watch
for the bosom OF her dress, and this she
sets TO awaken her at the proper minute.
The place for her bed" Is right across
the door OF the room, and when she has
difficult cases to deal with, she often at
taches a string TO the window and TO her
own arm, so she will know II a sudden
dellrium has taken her patient 10 the win
dow.
The curriculum for a trained nurse Is
like that OF a physician, a dentist, or a
chemist for the first year. She attends
lectures. studies drugs, and knows about
the action OF anaesthetlcs. OFTEN she Is
the only doctor a patient in the country
home will have for days at time. If the
family physician goes back to town. 1t
IS always very important that the trained
nurse should understand drugs.
Her other requirements are making
patients comfortable and the possession
of an absolutely unruilled temper. The
former includes the changing OF sheets
while the patient is In bed. cooking for
the sick-room. and what to do In emer-
gencies like hysteria, insomnia, fever. and
pain. But equal in Importance TO all this
is Tact, with a large ct"
There IS a great deal Of sentimental
trash written about the relations OF
patient and nurse. Their relations are
those Of a feeble-mirded child-as the
patient temporarily Island n firm, sweet,

less. The child may fall In love with the
woman, but the woman feels a great
barrier of superiority TO the child.
