Pretty Agnes Currie the Bride Of
Wealthy Ranch Owner.

Currie was a nurse at Huron Street hos

ranchman at Montana The wedding took
place the other day in Helena, Mont, and
was the happy ending of a love affair

on Huron street.
One day. patient was brought in suf-
fering from typhoid fever. His name was
Charles Marriatt, and his home was in
Avon, Mont. He had been on an eastern
tour and was taken sick. He dreaded to
think of lying on a sick bed among entire
strangers, and thought that he might be
able to get back to his western home be
fore he was stricken down completely. So
he hurried away from New York and
started on the long journey westward.
But the disease came upon him with I'M
relenting force and by the time Cleve-
land was reached. Marriatt was firmly in
i'll and was taken from the train and
hurried to a ward in Huron Street hos
sital.
Miss Currie was one Of the score
OF nurses on duty there and it fell to her
lot to care for the western ranchman.
She nursed him back. to health and

time the disease had been broken up,

and when he was ready to go on his
journey again he told his nurse the old, old
But the girl did not know. She wanted
time to think. She was in love with her
work and did not know whether she cared
to give it up even for the luxury that
would be hers the moment she became
the bride of the western ranchman. Mar
riatt gave her time to think and went
away from Cleveland.
But he never ceased to press his suit and
letter after letter from him found their
way to Miss Currie. Finally Cupid con-
ouered and she promised to become the
wife of the man whom she had nursed
back to health The wedding day was set
and Miss Currie went to Helena to meet
her lover. They were married just on the
eve of the new year and have gone to

But what will naturally provoke not
a little surprise here is the statement Of
the surgeon as to his income at home.
His practice there, he says. is worth as
much as $4,000 in four ulonths-the
plain inference from which is that it is
not worth any more than 81, 500 a month,

titioner's wonderful skill and great rep

would be worth nearer $500, 600 than $780,

a millionaire inside of ten years-and
would deserve to be one
The circumstance presents good IL
lustration of the large way in which we
do things in the United States and the
small way in which they are done in
most parts of Europe. For one opera
ton in Chicago a surgeon gets a fee
equal to four months practice in Cen
many, involving the exercise of great
skill, much hard work, much time. and
not little anxiety. It is extremely
doubtful if, outside of royalty and a
few families who could be counted on
the fingers of one hand, a doctors fee as
high as $50 Oo0 was ever paid in Europe.
1t is rare here. But fees reaching up
/ into the thousands are common enough

tice a whole month in Germany in order
to earn $500.
