I think most of you know that I index old newspapers when I have nothing else to to for our genealogy section. I have a microfilm reader that sits right behind my computer (I turn my chair around and I am at the microfilm reader). There are some really neat articles that I come across. This is one for today.

A Humane Deed
It was at Hoquiam, Washington, that a common little dog, without a pedigree worth mentioning but with a broken leg, appeared in front of a hospital. He hung around the place as though he knew what he wanted, sounding an occasional faint wail of pain.
After a time he was admitted to the hospital, placed on an operating table and his leg set by one of the leading surgeons of the western coast country. The next day the dog came back, hobbling along in his splints. The leg was dressed again in correct hospital style.
The surgeon who did that act of kindness and the hospital which afforded the service to that nameless and homeless pup deserves more public approval and more credit than many of the notable and notorious people whose names fill the front pages of the newspapers.
