The Diary of Young Ruf7an.
Sept 1S-I didn't wake up SO early this
morning because it was Sunday and nobody
made any noise, but got up just as soon as
woke up and went in and walked dad and
mother. 1 don't think they liked it yery much
but people hadn't ought to stay in bed SO long
It's lots more fun to get up and eat breakfast
and play. didn't go to Sunday school with
Billy this morning. Billy always stops for me-
Dad went away again this morning. l guess
he went to the Office. He didn't stay very long
and he brought home the Teenie Weenies when
he came and read 'em to me. Teenie Weenies
are funny, think; Specially the Ounce. He's
always doing things he hadn't ought to-just
like me. dad says. Probably he means the
time I bit the end off his cigaret holder and
he had to buy new one. think he was kind
of sore, then too. Mother didn't seem to mind
IL much though But I was sorry cause dad
amt such bad fellow Anyway he's the only
dad I got. He went back to the office again
tonight and I went to bed and didn't see him
till morning. He said he was working for
friend of his.
Sept. 19-I got up early again and had
breakfast with the two persons like the best
Dad told me he wanted me to tell him what to
write in my new diary today and told him to
write down that I was going TO get a new
automobile and he said mustn't delude myself
whatever that is. Ny dad talks funny

Dad says I needn't worry about not under
standing him-he don't understand himself half
the time. He saw once he thought the Lord
had give him some brains but he's sure
IL was the devil playing a joke on him. He )

I know some other bad words but I don't |
want to say en. I heard another little hoy
say damn" once though I wouldn't saw

fun but felt pretty good when got up Dad /;

most always is. I wonder why he don't come
aome early and play with me sometimes? 1 Il
bet maybe we could have lots of fun if he
would He says if he hadn't played so much
when he was younger he'd have time to play
