River; other companies built lines from
Parkersburg direct to st. Louis, and all of
these lines have merged into the Baltimore
and Ohio System, which forms the most

The Doctor Was Right
About His Vocal Powers

0NCE a number of kindred spirits
" were enjoying supper in the
land OF Burns. When the cloth
was removed and the usual toasts were
proposed some one suggested a song.
The efforts of the first Scotchman met
with such hearty reception that 9TH
ers were induced to follow his exam
pie.
In the end 1t was found that every
one had contributed to the evenings
entertainment but the medical gentle
man who occupied the vice chair.
"COme. come. DR.. Macdonald" said
the chairman; I'VE cannot let you es-
cape"
The doctor protested that he could
not sing.
"As matter Of fact" he explained,
my voice Is altogether unmuslcul and
resembles the sound caused by the act
Of rubbing brick along the panels of
a door,
The company attributed this to the
doctors modesty. Good singers, he
was reminded. always needed lot of
pressing.
Every WELL" said the doctor; eff you
can stand it will sing"
Long before he had finished. his audi
ence was uneasy. The unwilling sing
er had faithfully described his voice.
There was Il painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length by
the voice Of a Draw Scot at the end of
the table.
Mon" he exclaimed, your singin's
no up to much. but your verncity's just
awful. You're RIGHT ABBOTT that brick"
