Barpaining Co. a Doctor.

New York Mail and Express)
In a certain North Dakota town there
are two physicians, one elderly, with q
Ions record of cures. the other young,
with his record still to make. The older
doctor was inclined to surrender some of
his night work TO the younger man. An
exchange cites an instance in which this
turning over was attempted.
one winters night Dr.. B. was reused by
two farmers from a hamlet ten miles
away the wife of one OF whom was Sc
riously ILL., He told them to go to the
other doctor, but they refused, saying
that they preferred his service.
Very Well replied DR. b. thinking to
put a convincing argument before them

He waited, however, to hear what they
would say

as it was amusing to the listening doctor.
It was;
