Thermometer Tales.

To people who are fortunately unfa-
miliar with sickness the thermometers
used in taking the temperature OF pa
tients are always a source OF consid-
erable interest. A professional nurse
whose experience has led her to numer-
Gus localities and brought her in con-
tact with many phases Of life tells two
stories which illustrate the foregoing
statement.
In one of the local hospitals she had
a male patient who was threatened
with a run of fever. AS she approach
ed his bedside one morning he queru-
lously complained of lack Of nourish-
ment.
II didn't get enough to eat," he said.
Il feel almost starved"
well, WE'LL" she said, soothingly'
1--WE will see about that. Here" she
added, 'let me put this in your mouth
She inserted the thermometer be-
tween his teeth and turned away a
moment. When she looked back he
was working the bulb around between
his jaws at great rate.
Hold on!" she cried, you will break
the thermometer"
He drew in his cheeks and apparent
ly gave a mighty pull on the little in
strument, and then she removed 1t.
Say" he grumbled, there's no use
giving me that. I couldn't suck
blame thing out Of it."
Another patient, a woman, begged
the nurse for drink.
Wait" said the nurse, and thrust
the thermometer in her mouth.
The patient lay back on her pillow
and placidly closed her eyes. A salts
fed expression slowly stole over her
face. When the time was up the nurse
withdrew the tube.
why" said the patient, with sigh
of qualification, what a lot of good
little thing like that will do you!"
