Abs Indignation.

When Alb Harvey had his leg cut off,
says the Atchison Globe, the trained
nurse was an ancient maiden named
Annie Harris. Alb didn't come out from
under the influence Of chlorOfOrm
promptly, and the doctor was good
deal worried. Finally he telephoned
the nurse: Abuse him; make him
mad" So the nurse went into the room
and began. "You great big baby" she
said: "you fuss over nothing. When
your mother gave you birth she suf-
fered more in a minute than you have
suffered during this operation. Yet
your mother didn't complain. Your
mother endured real suffering. You
don't know what real suffering it"
whereupon Alb blurted out to the nurse,
"Td like to know what in h you
know about it. I've had as many as
you've had"
