@1HERE is nothing horrible In a
patients life in a hospital. To
healthy person such institutions
IIEILM always seem more or less grew
some, but there is no reason for
such feeling further than that it is the
place where sick people go. There are in
this city three large hospitals, and a num-
ber of private sanitoriums which are con-
Quoted by physicians who admit one but
their own patients. OF all of these institu-
tions there Is not one that is in the least
gloomy or cheerless. In fact, everything is
done to make them as bright and home
like possible. Some of the charity
patients do not know what a home really
is until they are admitted into these places,
and after being in them for a while they do
not like to leave and will resort TO all kinds
Of means to prolong their stay. DIR. Paul
Martin. superintendent of the City Hospital,
says that when he was an inferno in one Of
the large New York hospitals they had
there what were known as hospital fiends-
class OF poor people that have at some
time been admitted to hospital and after
being discharged feign all kinds of diseases
to be able again to enter the institution.
He claims that this is not carried on In
tn0idudpOnS 10 any great eXtcuts Dul t0dI
once In a while some charity patient will
try this dodge. To illustrate the means
that these people use to accomplish their
desire he recalled an instance in New York
where man came to the hospital claiming
that he was burning up with a fever. The
examining physician placed a thermome-
ter In his mouth, the mercury in a few
minutes running up to 110. which is an ex-
ceedingly abnormal temperature for a
human being He was placed in a ward,
and every time his temperature was taken
Il was about the same. Finally the physi-
clan began to suspect something was
wrong. for the ordinary individual would
long have been dead. but this fellow seemed
apparently TO thrive on his fever and was
actually getting fat. One day the doctors
cross-questioned him, and he at last ad-
mitted that there nothing the matter,
and that he was able to raise his tempera-
ture by quickly moving his tongue up and
down against the thermometer, the friction

Paid For.

Des Moines, Oct. 19.-Dr. E. L. Bay
was employed to care for smallpox pa
tients during an epidemic at Coal
field, first at s25 a day, then at $40
day. He sued Monroe county and got
Judgment of $s95.96, which was more
than the board of supervisors allowed
him. The county appealed to the SUI
preme court and claimed that the doc
tors services We're not worth the money
and that instead of going in the houses
OF smallpox victims and feeling the
pulse and looking at the tongues, he
looked thru the windows and prescribed
at long range, therefore he was not
entitled to full pay under the contract.
The supreme court decided his bill
should be paid. 1t was shown that he
treated sixty patients and they all
recovered, and there was nothing to
show that he failed to diagnose single
c,se properly, even thru a window
