A man has no business starting ou.t
to be a country doctor if he is anxious
for his own comfort, for nobody can
be expelted to have much reghrd for
that. It was five below zero a few
weeks ago when a woman called me
out into the country at midnight- to

the many needless calls I have made.

Beethoven -1770-1827.
Born in Bonn, Beethoven grew
Just the same as I or you;

He was but a tiny boy,
Caring not for'gains or toy;
And his father, harsh, they say.

When at 13 years, one night,
Three sonatas he did write,
Full of lovely sentiment,
Showing his -poetic bent.
Fierce his
temper, and self-willed,
But with' truth his, heart was filled;
And he Loved the trees and flowers,
