the absess did not form & break under the jaw as it should have done, and it seems when this does not happen, an absess is liable to form any place in the body, so in this case they found it in the bowells which had all grown to-gether around the growth which Dad said was as big as his head, so nothing could have saved him anyway I just did chores to-day and this after noon cleaned out the separator, we started separating again to-night. We got the chores done up fairly early and I went down to Aunty's to tea, to-night Aunty and I went to the picture show to see "Mistress Nell" with Mary Pickford. It was pretty good the play being in the time of Charles III. Harry Battersby and Dave Waddle were over this morning for a little while. Nice day but cloudy to-night.

Dad had to go down town again this morning to see Dell's cow and Frank went down to ship his horse hide to Hallam. Bob. Miller showed him how to fix it and ship it. I did chores all morning and this after noon husked a little corn. Art. Quanbury was over all the after noon and watched Dad. shear the two rams which he did in about four hours. The little fellow was very poor and alive with ticks. I rode down town to get the paper tonight. It has drizzled all the after noon and things are getting in awful shape.
