Took Dying Mans insurance and the Patient

me. Now I'll tell you. I'm poor
laboring man, as you know, earning
$3.50 a day when I was able to work,
but when a mans laid up he can't earn
even that much, and there's my wife,
she's had to live all this time, so all
our savings are about gone by this
time. But I'm going to pay your bill
just the same.
I've got a life insurance policy for
$500. I can't last more than two or
three months longer, and no, don't
shake your head doctor; I know it.
Now, listen. Pay over 5000 to my wife
now-she needs money now-and the
policy is yours. That will give you the
5000 you've charged me and the 500
more that you really ought to charge"
There was no gainsaying the patient.
He was determined. The physician
knew the mans estimate of his re-
naming term of life was liberal. It
would be unfair to say he also knew it
would be a good investment a clear
profit of 500 available within three or
four weeks at the longest. However,
the doctor wrote his check for 5000 and
gave it to the wife the next day when
the insurance policy was made over
to him.
That was four years ago. The
anxious little woman felt the end was
near. She couldn't forsake hope, how
ever. She had heard that sometimes
a change of climate will save a con-
sumptive, and, true to a wife's self
sacrifice. she made arrangements with
the 5000 she received from the doctor
to send her husband to North Carolina
A month went by, and the new bene
ficiary of the life-in surance policy re-
ceived notice that the regular month
" assessment was due. He paid it.
Another month passed and the notice
came of the next assessment, which he
also paid. The wife called in at the

South wrote her that her husband was
slightly improved but would not give
her any encouragement.
One after another the months rolled
by-like automobiles on a country road,
/ it may have seemed to the doctor-and
just as rapidly the notices of assess
ments due rolled in.
One day, about a year after the
deathbed scene before described, the
doctor received a letter from the pa
tient himself, cheerfully reporting that,
although one of his lungs was gone,
he was so far improved that he was
now out of the hospital and was hope
full of finding employment soon.
Since then the Buffalo doctor has
heard from his former patient every
now and then. His latest letter, re-
ceived a few days ago, is as follows:

Dear Doctor now sit down to
write you a few lines to let you know
how I am getting along, as know you
would like to hear about my being

left the hospital three years ago that
only had one lung, but I had it tested
a few days ago and they told me it
was as good as two lungs. They said
