but they were way over on the other side of the gully. and by the time he got settled down he didn't feel like getting fixed up and walking down town through the mud. It has been a nice day with a cold wind. We don't know whether it rained last night or not, Enah is sure she heard it raining in the night and there was a puddle of water on the kitchen floor under the leak, and Frank's coat which he left out all night was wet but the ground and all the boards seemed dry and the ceiling over the pool in the kitchen was perfectly dry. I did a little more drawing to-night. Monday November 24th I spent the whole day in knocking down the rest of the old windmill and clearing up the debris. I am not quite through yet. This afternoon I had to go back and drive Mully, Jim and Snowdrop out of the east end of the gully into the other end through the bluegrass and field where Dad is plowing which is the way they got in. I took the two dogs with me so had quite a time with the cows. Dad. plowed and Huby husked corn all day. Frank brought Tiddum's carriage back mended to-night and he was tickled to death to see it again, and jump in it althoug the spring is stiffer now than it was. Dick sent away for ten books for me to-day called "The Library of Original Sources" which I saw advertised in the "Literary Digest." It is supposed to be a collection of all the documents which have made history and translated. It cost $35.10 cash. I borrowed the money from Dad. It seems a lot to pay in a bunch, but books are mighty nice things to have especially for the long winter evenings on the farm. I suppose if I was town, the same ammount would dribble out in nickels and dimes in the course of a year. Dad. had to go to a school board meeting to-night and Frank went down with him to see the moving picture show. I guess I'll draw a little. It has been colder and very windy with two or three blinding but short snow squalls. Tuesday November 25th After I did the chores up this morning I helped Huby husk all day and by to-night we had only twelve shocks left to husk, we think under favorable circumstances we will be able to finish it to-morrow. Dad. plowed all day and he is nearly through wth that field. John Wess was over talking to him for a long time this morning, telling him about his barn roof. He hasn't paid for it because he is not satisfied and the company are going to sue him. Jonas was over for awhile at noon, he wants Frank to cut wood for him as the doctor has forbidden him to do it. Old Nig and Bluch got into a scrap this morning. Nig got jealous because Huby threw Bluch a corn cob to retrieve after letting Nig do it several times and he piled right into Bluch who would have killed him pretty quickly if Huby had not separated them, he couldn't keep Nig off till he kicked him in the jaw, this broke poor Nig's heart and he was sulky the rest of the morning, his little scrap cleared his old white eye up wonderfully except a little white spot in the middle. Cars. Rankin rode over to-night to see Bluch, who knew him afar off and was crazy to go back with him, Cars says he will bring the saddle back the first time drives over this way. To-nigh Dick and I went down to a dance in the town hall, where we had a good time. I didn't dance much because everytime I got up I would make a worse mess of it than the time before, they quit dancing about one but as they had nothing to eat there Dick, Truman Roadhouse and I went up to Jim Law's lunch counter and had a sanwich apiece after the thing was over, there were quite a few of the other dancers up there, so we didn't get to bed till about two o'clock. It has been bright and sunny all day but a cold breeze, to-night it was drizzling when we came home
