money for pluging 5 eggs and father pluged 7 eggs and a old hen and
dident have to pay ennything, ennyway it was fun to see him.

up the geese pond and he asked me where the tub was and when i said i
had filled it up he said i was a loonatic and dident know enuf to go in

tell you i have to wirk prety hard.
Apr. 25. Brite and fair. today old man Thirsten Medos father came to the
house and told mother someone had pluged roten eggs at his barn. mother
dident know what to say for a minit for she dident want to tell about
fathers falling into the geese pond, so she said she was very sure i
hadent done it but she wood speak to father about it, so when father got
home old man Thirsten came up to the house and said George that cussid
boy of yours has been pluging roten eggs at my barn and father said this
time Kimball, his name is Kimball, he dident do it for he was with me
all the evening til he went to bed. so father and old man Thirsten went
down to see the barn and it was all spatered with yellow. then old man
Thirsten said he wood give a dolar to know who the scowndril was whitch
pluged those eggs, and father said i wish you cood Kimball, it is a
outrage, and father looked auful funny, jest as he did when he scart old
Ike Shute that time on the high school steps.
