The nmhulancc came into the hospital
yard at a reckless rate of speed. Tho
surgeon on it was shouting for stretch
ers before, the ambulance stopped at
the hospital doUr. Two orderlies seized
the wounded man, Jiurriertly put him
into a stretcher and lifted him within
reach of two house physicians who
came hustling down the steps with
stethoscopes in their hands. They ap
plied the instruments to the breast of
the injured man and said "all right."
The orderlies carried him into the hos
pital r.eeeption room and there the phy
slclans again applied the stefhoscopes.
This time they pronounced him dead.
"Well," said the ambulance surgeon,
"that wns a narrow escape, and I
couldn't afford it this weejc, either."
Asked to explain his strange renlark,
the surgeon said: "There is a penalty
for any ambulance surgeon bringing
a dead man or a drunken man to the
Iiospltnl. It doesn't make any differ
ence if he has died on the way here.
or how badly he was hurt. He must be
examined with the stethoscope before
he can come into the hospital, and if
the doctors pronounce him dead, why
the ambulance surgeon is stuck. It
costs him drinks and the cigars for all
the other doctors, in (he hospital.
"Take this casi," he continued.
"That man was sure to die. 1 knew it
the minute 1 saw him. But common
decency demanded that he should not
be allowed to die in the streets. Yet
J. knew that I was taking a risk in get
ting him in the ambulance and bringing
him here. If we had been delayed for
even a minute on the road, I would have
had to spend about eight dollars for the
fun of the rest of the doctors. I'mcklly,
we had clear streets and we made rec
ord time.
"This is the custom in every hospital
in tlie city. If it was only the fatally
injured to whom the rule applied, it
would not be so bad. But the surgeon
who brings in a plain drunk gets it
harder than in the other case. That's
the reason so many men are allowed to
stay in the station hous'e cells with
fractured skulls. It is not the easiest
thing in the world to make a sidewalk
diagnosis and decide whether a man
is merely unconscious from liquor or
whether he has a fractured skull. So
the surgeons usually take no clianccs
and allow the man to stay in the cell
until the symptoms nre developed
enough to show whether or not the
skull is really fractured.
"I know it's wrong, but we young-
Htcrs can't upset all the time-honored
customs of such did institutions." N.
Y. Sun.
Don't "Worry the Composer.
A musical organization, intending to
give a performance of an oratorio, be
gan to be alarmed about the probable
cost of the production.
Accordingly the director of tho
chorus said to the luadiM of the or
chestra, who wa a professional mu
sician: "We've got to keep down our ex
penses, nnd I thought I might get you
to leave out the trombones. You know,
they have only four measures in the
entire oratorio, and if we leave them
out we can save at least $15, and no one
will be any the wiser."
The leader of the orchestra was ex
tremely shocked. Assuming a tragic at
titude, he exclaimed:
"Thnt would le an insult to the com
poser!" The chorus director reflected a mo
ment, nnd then said, cheerfully:
"OJi, never mind him; he's dead!"
