The paper to-day reports the wonderful recovery of two littlle girls in the Chicago hospital who were poisoned about two weeks ago by their crazy mother with bichloride of mercury. On Saturday Dr. Carter the specialist who has been working with them said there was no hope whatever for the eldest girl but to-day says that a real miracle has been performed and that they both will recover.

Tuesday October 14th

Dad. went over to Tupper's this morning and has been over there all day thrashing. Frank and I left for Simcoe first thing this morning and took the seed up. Frank stayed up there with it and had it cleaned but I came back with the team and got home about noon. I spent the after noon doing chores and put a few more shingles on the chicken house roof. Frank didn't get home till after dark. He got a check for about $2.40 for the alsike and there is about a bushel of red seed up there which they cleaned out but which they wouldn't buy on account of the dock seed in it, but as it is easy to get out of the field we thought we would sow it and sell a bushel of our red seed. Frank went down to-night to hear Cridland. Fine day rather cloudy.
