A Nurse S Story

People that care for the sick and
dying, often witness scenes that are
intensely pathetic, remarked Miss Bell,
a trained nurse.
I asked her if she would tell me
about the one she considered the most
interesting, in her experience, and she
related the following:
"One August day, was sent for, to
take care of typhoid case, a young
man. He was boarding with friends
that were very fond of him; and as
his room had private bath, and out
side entrance, they preferred to have
him remain there. My patient told me,
that he was an orphan; that his mother
had died at his birth, and that his
brothers and sister were thousands of
miles away.
The fever had been in a mild form,
up to the fourteenth day: then there
were unexpected complications.
In the evening of the twenty first
day, he was very restless; kept talk
ing in broken sentences, and picking
the bedclothes necessarily.
The doctors was afraid he might pass
away before morning. At half-past
seven 1 gave him his medicine and
took his temperature. As I was seat
ing myself at his bedside / heard a
baby give one fretful wall, then a
woman's voice began to hum Pleyel s
old hymn.
The family living in the adjoining
residence had been away and this was
the first evidence | had Of their re-
turn.
The low grooming of the tune at
tracted the sick man s attention and
he became perfectly quiet. The song
without words continued short time,
then she began to sing:
Sweetly rest, my baby dear,
Angels bright are lowering near;
Sleep, until the morning light,
Drives away the shades of night.
When the birds begin to sing,
When the bees are on the wing,
When the sun lights up the skies,
Open then your pretty eyes.
The tones of the voice were wonder.

feetly distinct.

put my hand over his heart, to find out
whether the vital spark had fed
When my hand touched him he open

over his features. and he said ''Moth,

heavenly home and come down here

times. but my ears have been too full

 A JUDGE OF MUlES-Mrs. D. O. Johnson of this city, besides being a most estimable and womanly woman. can lay claim to a business judgment that discounts that of most men. Her husband needed three more spans of mules in his business the other day and was too busy to go mule hunting SD Mrs. Johnson came down town and. visiting a well-knOwn mule market. selected the three best span in the bunch The owner expected to hear her say she would send her husband around to look at them. but instead she proceeded to write a check and take the goods.
 WILL OPEN WITH FREE LEG TURE-The Phoenix Chautauqua will open with a free entertainment one night earlier than scheduled. Septem- Der 20 pr. Thomas W. Jeffrey will de- liver an address on Sunshine and Shade on a Farm" Dr. Jeffrey's lec- ture will be but a foretaste of what the Chautauqua course is to be. This lecture will be absolutely free to all, and those who arrive first will get the choicest seats. This lecture like all the rest of the course, will be given at the Chautauqua airdome at Second and Adams street. The place has been enclosed and the stage is now in course of construction.
 THE "ELECTRIc HARE"-Among those who are trying to interest the fair commission in novel forms of en- tertainment is O. P. Smith of Los An geles, the inventor of the electric hare" This odd device is nothing more nor less than d stuffed jack rabbit fastened to a mechanism oper- ated by electricity that runs at great speed along a steel slot on a quarter mile track. Six greyhounds are re- leased simultaneously from a patent kennel with six compartments. The hounds take after the jackrabbit. which is given an undulating motion by the machinery and stimulates quite effectively the gentle lope of the long cared antelope of the sage brush. The installation of the device at the fair should be an incentive to the bringing of fast greyhounds for exhibition here in connection with the dog show which is to be a new feature tn . year. It has been put into practice in Salt Lake City and a stock company is now organizing to place the inven- tion at Venice, Cal.

Yying with the scathing criticisms Of

ganizer for the National Anti-Vaccination
League Of England, attacked the present
system for the prevention OF smallpox in

numerically the practice Of vaccination.
and particularly OF compulsory Vaccina-
ton, basing his statements on statistics,
and saying he had suffered Imprisonment
because he refused 70 allow his children
70 be exposed 20 what ne called the hor-
rible danger OF self-imposed disease.
One Of the most interested listeners was
Commissioner Mcfarland, who. from an
obscure seat. heard the District govern
ment placed in the same category with
other institutions which subscribed to the
theory Of vaccination.
Is compulsory vaccination justifiabie?' -
was the subject OF Mr.. Bonner's talk.
You cannot SOW disease and expect 10
reap health" he said. Those who
favor vaccination are dogmatic. They
thrust their doctrine down the threats Of
the public and are eontemptuous Of crit
icism. We Observation-Disclosures are broad

underlying principles Of vaccination. our
attack is directed against the system of

Vaccination is the grossest piece OF
