CC ' .Qld YO? hCH.f aboutujoe Smith's boy? He has conclusion of the brain, was hurt in the coal mine this mornin and is layin low in the hospital this blessed minit. Mandy heard it at the post-oflice. An' Sam Moore, poor man, burned the flesh on his arm to the bone. Mrs. Moore heats sand bags on the gas range to lay around them to draw out the information. But I ain't a-tellin, how she's cheatin' the gas man to do it. ff 'cliint it awful? This world is full of affiiction. I wonder why ,tis some folks hez to have so much Su Crm. Oh, must you be goin , Miss Murphy? VVeQl, you must come agen soon. Your visits always cheer me up so. Goodbye, Miss Murphy. ' 'CI wish I had had an X-ray! Mebbe Ild be well today if I -had had the X-ray treatment! A Patient s Lamentation Of all earth's travelers belated here, I '4I've tried to like this place, she said today, ' There was none so pitiful or dejected more, Where capsules, pills and mice all have their sway, Than one sad patient as she entered here, Where perfumeof iodoform profuse, With her hands and knees arthritic sore, Smells like flower-beds of paradise, let loose, First being accosted as she reached the stair Where nurses garbed in blue and white array, By one fair lassie neat and debonairg Politely disappear when I begin to pray, Whom shall we notify, in case --P said she, Where tall Herculean doctors, dressed in white, Write out the names, that you may interred be, Colossal structures of verbosity and might, 'fIn case of what? Oh, do let me run outll' When dwells the midnight hour, the time to sleep, The patient cried, f'Am I to die of gout? Let pour rhapsodic melodies that weep, Sweet notes of love, spontaneously, until Of hospitals and all, I've had my fill. 115
