and it had all melted so
we came home and Dony
found a little thing which
you put on a chair and when
you sit down on it it
gives a squeek. Papa mearly
fell out of his chair and
aunt hattie sat down on
it and never heard it.

Thurs. Jan 25, 1917
Awful windy, Its pretty near
time for my Popular mechanics
magazine to come. I read two
books yesterday, the Call of the
Wild by Jack London and Boy
Scouts canoe trip. Miss Fox
the school teacher stayed
with my sister Louise
all night last night
I dident read anything tonight
hardly. Nothing Particular
except that Lena Royce
came up and sang some
songs to us while she was
waiting for my sister to
go to dancing school
with her. The songs were
awful preaty. I passed
with honor from the 7a
Grade to the 8B Grade
My standing in regents
in Arithmetic was
97 In spelling 85 I
expected to get about
60. I have got a diary
about Harry A Shute.
I tell you he must have
had some pretty wild
times. He couldent spell
worth a cent. If I couldent
spell better I would chase
my ankle. I dont have
to work as hard as he
did because we have
a colored (brown) girl
working for us She
isn't going to stay long
We kids dont have half
as much fun as Harry
