relatives larger share of the estate

OF rescuers saved the child from almost
certain death. John Huston and his

Gathering what articles they could
they hastily made their way to the

child: Several young men volunteered
to go to the child's rescue.
Plunging through smoke and fire.
they made their way into the burning

smoke and at times blistered by intense
heat, they finally found the child,
asleep in it's cradle One of the young
men picked it up and the return trip
through the binding smoke with the
greatest difficulty was made.

Texan law that permits wife by Will

KINDNESS IN SiCK-RCOM.
The Right Kind of Nurse Is the One
Who Honestly Wants
to Help.

There is hardly any place where
genuine kindness goes so far as in car
ing for the sick. Although there are
great many grumbling invalids, says
home journal, there are also just as
many invalids who appreciate what is
already being done for them and hest
tate to ask further favors The nurse
who is ever ready to find out through
tact and judgment exactly what the pa
tient really needs or desires can make
herself a veritable angel. The person
who does and says kind things in an
abrupt manner, as il she wanted mere
ly to clear her conscience, IS entirely out
OF place in the sick-room. To be the
right kind of nurse you must honestly
want to be of help.
1t has been said that a good nurse is
born, not made, and certainly it does
seem as if some people have a natural
gift in this direction. They are many
admirable WOmen-sOmetimes they are
even doctors-who make abominable
nurses They understand all the in
tricacies of the disease in question, and
give the best treatment and medicine
for the case, but they completely lack
all the gentleness, tact and sympathy
that soothe and help a sick person.
Though their intentions are excellent,
they do what they know is best for you
as if it were disagreeable duty and you
were repellant to them.
Other women have a nervous, over
oft1cious manner which wears upon a.
patient though it is not nearly so in
furious as the other fault But, happily,
there are only few people like the first
offender
