Nurse That lie would Get

Not long ago hospital nurse had a
typhoid patient under her charge who
proved unusually grateful. His enthu-
siasm became, indeed, the talk of the
ward. Naturally she was kindly dis
posed towards him, but as he took the
turn for the better he evineed such
warmth in his feelings toward the
young lady that things proved rather
embarrassing. relates the New York

Fair Fees and Foul.

The Charleston Is. c. News and
Courier makes this argument:
With regard to the enormous fees
sometimes charged for attendance on
wealthy people. to which So much
exception is taken by persons who
have nothing whatever to do with the
matter we can see no good reason for
finding fault with them. Suppose the
patient is a millionaire, who spends
hundreds of thousands yearly on the
mere pleasures and Iuxuries of life, and
who cannot possibly get more out of
existence than he does. When illness
attacks him all the delight of life van
ishes and his money is powerless to
help him. With death staring him in
the face he would gladly give half his
wealth to any one whose skill could
avert death and restore him to health.
If fair and honorable for the physi-
clan. why not for the tailor? a rich
man would give thousands of dollars
for an overcoat rather than get pneu-
n7onia. Yet We should all have our
opinion of the tailor if he made the
rich man pay a thousand dollars for a
fifty-dollar overcoat.
And the general public has its opin-
ion of the surgeon or the doctor who
profits by his opportunity and sticks"
the rich man for an unearned fee.
