The lady smiled and said, Do you consider that reasonable charge. considering my eircumstsnees?' The doctor replied "Thst Is my charge for that operation Your circumstances have nothing to do with it. " The lady drew | check fer $500 and presented 1t to him. He handed 1t back, saying f'T cannot accept this. My charge for that operation is $50, . "Very well, y the lady replied Keep the check and put the balance to my credit . Some months after she received lengthy itemized bill, upon which were entered charges for treatment of various kinds, rendered to all sorts of odds and ends of human ity, male and female, black and white, who had beep mended at her expense. She was SO delighted at it that she inn mediately placed another check for $500 to her credit rn the same terms, and it is now being earned in the same way
