was a beastly rotten trick as it was of no interest to him or his clients and no one else had thought of it at all.

The judge said it was a bombshel thrown in to

to what he tought was going to be avery simple matter. That explains Mr. Parks cable where he sugests meeting Dad. in New York as he wantesd to meet Dad. tere and consukt with Aunt hattie and try to come to some amicable agreement with ther.He says je doubts very much if she would succeed it she contest Dad's claim so I don't suppose they will have much trouvoe ove rthere. Dick is going to cable Mr. parks to-night saying that Dad. is willing to meet him in New Yorl whenever he comes. I didn't attempt to go to the mill but Dad. gave me. abag of chop and I took one of the bags of oats that Frank had bagge dup for me. I agree dto pay buy $15.00 worth of oats from him ad to pay him when McEwen sends th emominey for the rams lambs. He diesn't seem to consider that i should have any oats coming to me for that aprt I took in the harvesting of them although I pitches every sheaf of them and helped thrash them. I didn't put it to him but hoped he would see it. He seems to think it all right for dad. to supply me out of his share in spite of the fact that Dad. has let me have about $200.00 this year and thsat accoding to their argument agreement Frank was to stand crop expenses. Mrs. lamokin was ove rthis afternoon an d invited us all over for New Year's dinner.
