THE POEM

Read at the Banquet to the State Medical
society by DR.. C. f UIrich, in Responding
TO the Toast: .The Physician as Social
Being
There has been quite a demand for
the publication of DR.. c. F. Ulrich's
poem. read by him at the banquet to
the State Medical Society, at Wheeling
Park Casino, Thursday evening, and 1t
is here printed
The earnest doctor looks so dignified,
You'd think that in his life he never
laughed.
He bears upon his features wisdom's pride;
And from his brow the breezes knowl-
edge watt.
If he is seen to so into a house,
IT'S asked by all the neighoors; who Is
sick?"
His coming all the gossips will arouse
And furnish conversation for week
The thought that he might make social
Or come 10 see the folks for friendships
cause,
Occurs to these good people least of all;
The doctor is debarred from social laws.
HI only has to do with death and pain;
He lives but human suffering TO relieve;
His presence to the sick alone Is gain
But in his social nature none believe.
You that are here can tell different tale.
When the o'erburdened doctor can escape
From work; when he no longer hears the
wall
OF suffering mortals: when he is in shape
To leave his patients for little while.
To rest from work his tired brain annoys;
From aggravations that stir up his bile;
He flies to banquet hall and social joys.
Then. when you view MS Sastronomlc
powers.
And see how he enjoys the good things
here,
How DER the meats and wines he spends
the hours:
How shine his eyes at sight of the good
cheer;
When flash the corruscations of his wit,
And when with gaiety his countenance
When flies th'electric spark from him
that's hit,
You'd never think that this same "bel
esprit
Had soiemnly bowed DER womans woes.
Forceps in hand, had bent upon his knee
Assisted her in parturition's throes:
That Laparotomy had been performed:
Tn Appendix Vermiform's been re-
Or that anothers friends were sore
Because a Pyasalpinx had been proved.
Yet so it is; the doctor lives two lives;
He in his body has double SOUL
All human ills to palliate he strives:
To be the king Of surgeons is his goal.
But now and then in relaxation's hours,
He meets his colleagues in the banquet
e. hall,
Exhibits his exuberant social powers,
And shows that he IS human after all.
So. friends. enjoy, around our genial board.
"The feast of reason and the, flow of
sOul,'
Forget your solemn work. you can afford
To spend an evening round the social
bowl.
Let jeaiousies and strifes be cast asidel
Let brotherhood and friendship fill the
heart,
That to this meeting all may point with
And Pri say: with honor each has done
his part"

SAM AND THE ELEPHANT.

"No; my son Sam didn't die Of no
Sickness" replied the mountaineer to
my question, which was brought out by
his observing that he had lost a son
the year before. What allied Sam was
sotness."
You mean he was obstinate?"
That's it; only mebbe a lettle wuss.
He'd do what he sot out to do if it kill
ed him. and it finally did kill him.
Yes. sab. One day cirkis was pass
in I'D this we're road to go over into
North Keerleeny. Sam he was up at
the Corners and had been drinkin' too
much. Bimeby he made ready to start
for home on his mewl The men at the
Corners knowed he'd meet the cirkis
and tried to hold him back, but the mo-
they talked the softer he got. 1t had
got around that thar was an elephant,
and Sam said he'd drive the critter out
OF the road or bust hissef'
"And he met the circus on the road?"
He did, sab. That elephant was
marchin' in front, and from all accounts
he wasn't feelin' very peart tat day.
When them cirkis fellers saw Sam they
hollered for him to go back, but Sam
throwed off his hat and yelled back
tom to stand clear and see fair play.
Thar's whar his sotness come in. Drat
him, but he orter knowed he be licked
He hollered and cavorted till he got
that elephant downright mad and then
he put spurs TO his mewl and charged
him. He meant to sweep that elephant
right off the face Of the airth, but suth-
in happened to astonish him"
what happened"
"Wa,l, as nigh as l could ever make
out, that elephant picked up both Sam
and his mewl and throwed EN- ten thou
sand feet high, and when they cum down
he walked on 'em for about ten minits
Hhe cirkis fellers got about bushel oil
meWl after the fuss was over, but they
couldn't scrape up morn a peck O. Sam
and that was mostly boots. What we
got we buried, and that's how Sam cum
to git under ground. No; he didn't die
Of any sickness-not any regular sick
ness with name 10 it. He jest tried t

THE GREAT CONCERT
TIE be Given at Wheeling Park Casino on
the Evening of June 22d.

the Evening of June ED.
Ever since King David played on the
harp and the morning stars sang to-
gether," the world has been moved by
a concord of sweet sounds, the people
finding in the harmonies of instrument
tation and the vocal g,ories OF the hu-
man voice their chiefest pleasure. Even
Nero fiddled while Rome was red with
the fires of a conflagration. For this
reason the Wheeling Lodge OF Elks de-
cided to give a musical festival at the
Wheeling Park Casino on the evening
of June 22d, celebrating the twelfth an
niversary of their organization.
The main feature OF the programme
will be the numbers given by that mag
nificent musical organization, the Grand
Army Band, OF Ohio, consisting Of fifty
musicians, many OF whom are accom-
plished artists in their line. The band
has given concerts in all of the large
cities from Boston to New Orleans,
moving every audience it appeared be-
fore with enthusiasm by its inspiring
Instrumentation. Among the soloists
is Mr.. Leo Zimmerman who has achiev-
ed an enviable national reputation as
one of the most accomplished perform
ers on that very difficult instrument, the
trombone. His number promises to be
among the chief attractions of the con-
cert.
The popular taste has not been for
gotten in making up the programme
while catering to the classical and cul-
ole and
classes Of musical appreciation will be
sure to find enjoyment in its rendition.
The Elks were certainly fortunate in
the selection Of their soloists, for they
will prove to be the strongest cards on
the programme The only new face will
be that of Mrs Milton L. Hanauer, So
prano, who has but recently come
amongst us. She won her laurels at a
recent recital Of the Women's Musical
Club, her first and only public appear
ance before Wheeling audience. Nat
urally. there will be increased interest
to hear her at the Casino.
The musical public of tn hcity q too
we'll informed OF the abilities OF Miss
Mamie Grub, daughter of ex-Mayor
Jacob W. Grubb, to require any COM
mendation from the pen of the writer
While her public appearances have not
been frequent, they have been often
enough for the people to desire to hear
more of her. She is one of the most
accomplished students at the musical
conservatory Of Mount de Chantal
where she scored a great success at the
commencement Thursday last. She COM
bines a charming personality with a
very sweet and sympathetic voice.
AS a basso Mr.. II. w. Hughes stands
without a rival He has powerful but
flexible voice. His performances are
familiar enough to the people to dis
pense with a laudatory comment in
this article.
In all things the Ells have provided
wisely and we'll for the entertainment OF
their friends at Wheeling Park Casino
on the evening Of June 22d. Besides
the concert, there will be the vernal at
fractions of the Park itself, its foliage
and flowers being in the zenith of mid
summer glories.

mission, etc, consult the advertisement

tcrday.
About one o'clock yesterday after
noon S. p. Harbout, a resident of Mar
tins Ferry, and an eXpTessman by oc-
cupation, met with serious accident at
the Wheeling Storage Company build
ing.
He was working about in the build
ing when he had the misfortune to
make misstep and fall down the ele-
vator shaft, a distance of twenty-five
feet to the floor below. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and af-
ter being revived was brought by a
street car to this place and carried to
his home on West Washington street,
Martins Ferry. The attending physic-
ian had not fully determined last even
ing the extent of the injuries, but it
was thought the unfortunate man had
sustained fracture of one arm and one
leg, and that he was hurt internally.
He was unable to speak when taken
home and was suffering much pain. 1t
is hoped the injuries may not prove as
bad as they at first appear.
