There amt no need Of putin things of so.

frightened little and exclaimed, "But

Well. s'pose you say you went for that

It'll be near enough"
well, what else did I do Mondayi"
asked Mr.. Virgins in helpless tone. And
80 the dialogue went on.
One evening James Sidney and his daugh-
ter Mary called ON the Wigginses.
II wux settin in the house alone, )" began
Mr.. Sidney, "me and Mary. and as the chores
wuz done and I'd writ in the diary for three
days ahead"-
''Whatv' exclaimed Mr.. Virgins.
The old man turned his beaming face to
his daughter, a. though asking her permits
sion to explain She seemed a little trou-
bled, but said:
"You see, to begin with, father never
kept diary and doesn't care much about
it., but l was anxious for him to do 20,
thinking he would find it pleasure. So
he does, and yet he also seems to look upon
1t - SO much work. and in spite Of all can
say he often persists in writing ahead"-
"But how kin he when things amt hap
pened" demanded Mrs. Virgins.
"Oh, jest kinder think Of what I'm 20
In to do, and write it downs II ia done It."
said Mr.. Sydney. "And II don't do it, l
write across the leaf. Didn't do it, or some
thing like that"
When the visitors had gone, Mr.. Virgins
said, with little chuckle:
Say, mother, why amt that good idee,
writin aheadi It 'ud save lots Of bother
for you, and I guess I'd git things about as
