THE DIARY or DEATH.
ey ApRlENNE CODY, aged sixteen. Of

By ADRlENNE CODY, aged sixteen. of
Central park school. Topeka.
! | am a fly. I'm not very old and am
| lust learning. where to find the best
| things to eat My favOrite places are
| in the spittoon in the sitting room and
/ the uncovered garbage can on the back
porch. Of course some flies would be
bothered about having to go out of
doors to get to that can. But it doesn't
worry me- In the house where | live
there aren't any screens, so l can fly
from the garbage can to the spittoon
in perfect safety | often stop on the
way, though. to get in the sugar bowl
or crawl over any eatables that are
handy.
There's a baby in this house who an
noys me very much. Every time !
leave the spittoon and crawl into that
baby's mouth it cries and spits me out.
OF course I leave few tuberculosis
germs in its mouth. but it doesn't seem
like that would hurt the baby.
1t seems to me like people don't know
what is good to eat. At least the peo-
pie in this house don't. Why, they
throw away all the good things They
put them in the garbage pail. l am
endeavoring to show them what good
things are. however. for | get my feet
all sticky in the garbage can and then
go and wipe them on the bread. About
hundred of my companions are do
hals
that the people are beginning to like it,
for they never trouble us any more.
We wipe our feet on the bread in
peace and quiet
l heard the woman across the way
say that she believed flies had some
thing to do with the man in this house
having consumption. l wonder if he
got it from the bread.
The woman across the way is losing
all her flies They're all coming over
anything to eat. She covers up her
garbage pail. has tight screens on all
her doors and is terror to flies in gen.
eral. Her children are such happy,
hearty youngsters, while the children
in this house are always cross. They
never get any afternoon nap. The flies
won't let them.
There's a very great deal of illness in
this house. Two Of the boys have
malaria and the father is never we'll.
I heard the mother say to the woman
across the way: II really do not know
what to do for all this sickness. 1t
drives me distracted" What do you
think that woman said? Why, Swat
the fly" Of course, at which ducked.
Oh YES! The baby has the typhoid.
