A Palmerston North gentleman recently went through a preparation for a serious operation, the result of which was believed to bo very doubtful (says tin? Manawatu Times). After some weeks the fateful hour arrived, and when he was placed on the ward ambulance he asked for th e tin whistle with which he had whiled awav the weary, anxious hours of waiting. AH down the long corridors of the hospital on route to the operating theatre, wore heard the familiar strains of "i he Girl l Left Behind Mo.’’ 1h 0 whistle is for a time laid aside, ponding a return of the power to hold it; tut the patients and nurses will long rememlrer this episode, which was • new bright spot in all their experience.
