she dident send me to bed becaus she had
to be polite to Beany and Nipper and so i was all rite, after supper we
played domminoes til the nine oh clock bell rang and then Beany and
Nipper went home.
Sept. 14. Brite and fair. Will went home to-day i was sorry he went, we
had a good time and i never knew him to be such a good feller before. i
gess it did him good to get a lickin. father says it always does me good
to get a good lickin. before he went he got me to throw a ball easy at
him and he let it hit him in the eye so he cood tell his folks that a
ball hit him in the eye, so he wood not have to tell a lie to his father
about his black eye. a feller feels a good deal better when he doesent
have to lie to his folks. when i usted to hook in swiming i usted to
stick my head in the rane water barril so I cood tell father how i wet
my hair. i dident like to do it sometimes becaus the barril was full of
little wigglers but i had ruther do that then have to tell a lie,
ennyway i gess all the wigglers that got into my hair died becaus they
never bit me. father says they turn into musketers.
Sept. 15, 186- Brite and fair. i forgot to say that i giv Will the
whailbone bow that Billy Swett giv me to see the fite. he was glad to
get it i tell you, and he sed i was the best feller he knew. i told him
when he came here agen we wood have some more fun. mother gave him 25
cents and gave me ten cents for being so good to him. me and Pewt and
