Physician Paid Physician.

An Indianapolis physician, who attends a number of poor patients without pay, recently was called to the home of an old woman, who had been under his care at different times for many years. She was dying of a general breakdown, and the physician saw at once that all he could do would be to make her last hours as easy as possible. This he proceeded to do, and just before he left he told the son that nothing m ore could be done, but that if anything happened to let him knbw. The son 'followed him outside and asked him if he might borrow $2, saying that he had a very good use for it The physician gave him two silver dollars, realizing, however, that he was making a gift and not a loan. During the night the patient died. The charitably inclined physician has learned since that the son called in physftiati with the $2 he borrdwed, and asked him if he thought he could do any more for his mother than Doctor X .—lndianapolis News.
