Tuesday November 21st

Did the chores all up then I went and soaked my sore toe and finished "The O' Ruddy" which I was very loathe to do. Dad put on a new piece of roofing paper in place of the one that blew off the chicken house the other night. We also let Davy out for a little run this morning. Did not do anything much this after noon but chores and sawed some wood. Enah went down town to see if they had heard how her sister Mrs. Johnson was but I guess tney hadn't. When Dick came home he told me that poor Mickey Law died this morning. He also said that Al. Faulkner was hurt badly by falling off the bus and it ran over his chest and broke three ribs. The horses ran way up Main Street and then Bobby Sinclair who was inside the bus but had not noticed that Faulkner was not there got the lines and stopped them. It has been much milder today.

It froze hard last night but has not been very cold all day although freezing again to-night. Dad and I got the rails out of the barnyard that had been left from threshing and put them in the wood shed. We also threw down a lot of the old straw stack for the cattle to tramp under. Enah went over to the Martin's this morming to telephone down town to inquire after her sister amnd heard she was doing fime. Charlie Ruths was in just beofre dinner tto get some information from Dad about canaries as his wife had a pair given her. We went out this after noon and stood up most of the corn that had falblown down and there qwas quite a lot of it. Dad said he would give Frank a quarter this. orning if he had no mistake. sin spelling and was greatly surprised to find that he had to cough it up. Ben Walker was ploughing to-day. Dad thinks he may go on to-morrow if he can. I started to reaad "Ivanhoe" to-night.
