turned the tables by nursing her, so
this was a clear case of Cupid's "tit-
for-tat."
John Coates Brown, of Philadel-
phia, vice president of the Episcopal
hospital ther and one of the Quaker
City's wealthy citizens, fell in love
with Miss Emily Payne, a nurse in
the Pennsylvania hospital, and mar
ried her. They met when he was go
ing the rounds of the hospitals on an
inspection tour, and though the dis
crepancy in their years was. very
great the result proved that Venus in
a nurses cap and gown is most en-
ticing siren.
Two years ago Alcinous Young,
one of Seattle's most promising men,
formerly it's city treasurer, married
Miss Amanda Schmitz, who had
nursed him in a Seattle hospital. In
the same week, Auguste F. Chamot,
who made a fortune in China and
lost it in the San Francisco earth
quake, married Miss Elizabeth Dol
lar, who had been his nurse during
the illness that followed the ruin of
his fortune in 1907. And barely a
month later, in October, 1909, the
marriage of John E. Marselis, a Pat
erson merchant, reputed million
aire, to Miss Catherine Walsh, a
trained nurse who had nursed his
first wife during the latter's last ILL
ness, was announced.
The marriage of widowers to the
nurses of their first wives is not at
all uncommon, and a pertinent in
stance Is that of Albert V. de Col
couria, father of Mrs. August Bel
mont, Jr., and of Mrs. w. Scott
Cameron He married in June, 1910,
Miss Frances B. Tinley, Belleveue
nurse who had attended his first wife.
Clifford S. Heinz, son of the mutt
millionaire pickle manufacturer Of
Pittsburg, married in 1907 Miss Vir-
ginia Campbell, who had attended his
sister, the wife of J. L. Given, in New
York. Because the marriage was
performed by a justice of the peace
instead of a clergyman the elder
Heinz frowned upon it.
Some tragedies have been mingled
with the romance of nurses. A no
table one was the suicide of John
Whitley, a rich manufacturer. He
had fallen in love with the nurse who
watched by his bedside during a Sc
rious illness following the death of
his first wife. But his children Che

approve of the match. He married
despite their opposition and there

NURSES AND THEIR ROMANCES.
Sick Room Seems to Inaugurate Sen
timental Journeys.

The romance Of the trained nurse,
writes a New York correspondent, is
sonce more IN the front page of the
daily newspapers.
Miss Eleanor Peregrine, who nurs-
ed Walter E. Duryea, the youth with
tine broken neck, for twelve years, is
by agreement among Duryea's rela-
lives, to receive the 100000 bequest
8 left her by Duryea in his will.
Miss Ida Corey Murphy, who nurs-
ed Chalmers Dale, a stock exchange
broker, for two years prior to his
death, has brought suit to recover
$50, 200 for her services, as Mr.. Chal-
mers did not remember her in his
will.
And John Ellerton Lodge, son OF
United States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, married last Thursday Mary
Catherine Connolly, trained nurse,
! who attended him when he was i'll
nearly year ago. Strenuous denials
had been made by all parties that the
pair was engaged, but the marriage
now proves the reported romance was
"a fact.
The.trained nurse seems to play a
more prominent part in the romantic
news of the day than any other pro-
fessional woman. Hardly a day
passes but the newspapers chronicle
some marriage, will, love affair OF
litigation in which trained nurse Is
featured.
Not always are nurses successful
plaintiffs in litigation against the es'
tates of their former patients, OF
against the patients themselves
There is at least one case on record
that of Miss Frances Hunter,
trained nurse in New Haven, who
was sued three years ago, by Harry
F. Brown, one of her patients. Mr.
Brown sought to compel Miss Hunt
er to surrender the records of he1
treatment of him, or in default Of
them he wanted $500 damages. He
asked for the records so he could
sue corporation for damages on &C
count of his Illness, and Miss Hunter
claiming the records as hers refused
to surrender them. History does not
record the outcome.
Another case where a nurse did
not succeed at law was that of Miss
Mary Catherine Smedley, who was
the chief beneficiary named under
the will of Hiram H. Lamport, an
octogenarian, who left s500,000, and
whom she had nursed during his de.
clining years. The will was set aside

and she is now fighting an appeal.

and she is now fighting an appeal.
But these are isolated cases in
which the nurse has not been vic
torious. The Duryea case on the 9th
er hand is typical of the generosity
of patients toward those who have
cared for them long and tenderly.
Thomas Caldwell, Pensacola,
Fla, recluse, left his $4,000 estate
to Miss Annie Burkhart, who nursed
him for two years. J. B. Currier, of
Lowell, Mass, left a similar fortune
to Nora Hessian, who had watched
by his bedside for six years. Sarah
B. Harrison, sister of former Gov.
Harrison, of Connecticut, left a $780,
900 estate to Miss Eva R. Gilker,
who had been her faithful nurse for
three years. The list could be con-
tinued indefinitely.
Nurses who have not been remem-
bered in the will of their patients
have sometimes collected petty dam
ages against the estates of the de-
ceased. Miss Blanche v. Eytenbetz,
of this city, obtained verdict of 49,
500 against the executors of Wallace
Stuart, for services rendered him as
a nurse during his last fitness, when
he was a boarder in her mothers
house, and this despite the fact that
he had left her $1,000 in his will.
She did not think it enough and the
jury agreed with her.
Men marry their nurses so fire.
quently that the instances are be-
yond all counting. A curious case
was that of Ralph J. voorhees,,
nephew of a Brooklyn politician. He
married Adele F. Goufton, who nurs-
ed him through typhoid fever after
he had become engaged to Miss Faith
E. Moore. Miss Moore visited him
regularly at the hospital, but the
charms of. Miss Goufton were too
strong for Voorhees,, and they were
welded secretly. Then Miss Moore,
whose father, David F. Moore, was
formerly superintendent of buildings
in Brooklyn, sued voorhees, for $780,
900 damages for alleged breach of
promise.
Charles E. Halliwell, formerly first
vice president of the American Tobac-
co comapny, married Miss Ruth Alice
Cole, who had been summoned to
nurse him in the Hotel Majestic after
severe operation in 1905. The fol-
lowing year he died, leaving her a
fourth of his $5,00O,O00 estate.
Lieut.. J. Hammond Harding, son
OF Philip w. Harding, broker, mar
ried Miss Agnes Eilverthorne, niece
Of Elihu Root, as soon as he had re-
covered from a serious illness in
which she played the part of his

The late Proctor Knott seems to be
remembered chiefly az the author Of
the facetious Duluth speech, says the
New York World. Yet he was a great
lawyer, and as chairman Of the house
committee on the judiciary he had tc
do with serious and vastly important
affairs. Mr.. Knots single appearance
as a humorist fixed his reputation fol
all time, and no amount Of profoundly
serious work could change 1t.
Samuel 8. Cox had a similar expert.
ence with greater reason. for in early
life he had cultivated the risibles
quite devotedly. Mr. Knott lived long
enough to perceive that he was to be
identified not with learning or public
service, but with an o%ratorical exag.
geratlon. and Mr.. Cox found in his ma
turity that the speakership. the goal Of
his career. was denied him because 1t
was no place for a funny man.
Although never a humOrist, Proctor
Knott accomplished something With
satire and irony In which most men
fail. He made himself understood.
EVERYBODY knew that he was joking.
Nobody ever demanded an explana.
ton of bis remarks on Duluth or a re.
traction or an apology. From that
viewpoint. therefore. he was one Of
the successful men of his generation.
