To-day is Children's Day and also D.W. Jr's birthday. He is one. Zella got a card last night from Marshall R. Bernice & I went to S.S. this morning.  Mary & Irene were both there. The children had charge of the Church Exercises. I stayed to church and sat with Irene. She introduced me to her aunt, Mrs. Will. Daniels. After dinner the whole family drove to Grandma M's. Aunt Mettie is going back East to Mass. soon. Mr. Deardorff is conducting Institute in Morton where Mama's cousin, May Holmes Sawyer, Aunt Margaret's daughter lives. Mama gave Mr. Deardorff a letter of Introduction to them. She got a letter from May the other day. She said that her oldest child, Lewis, graduates from Yale soon. They let Margaret come home from the school she was going to in April, she got so homesick. Francis is going to school this year. Their youngest child Katherine is not quite as old as Bernice.

Harry Woolverton cashed somebody else's check in Topeka and he was put in jail. I don't think he has had his trial yet. We have ten cats. One, an old grey cat, Tabby, Zell's, her three halfgrown kittens, a black one Blacky, Bernice's, a gray one, Topsy, Baby's, another gray one, Tigress, mine. Then a black one older than Tabby's kittens but not grown yet, Jet, Zell's. Old Nellie Gray, gray and white, Zell's, and her four little kittens that just came about Thursday. One, a black and gray that is mine and I think I will name it Stripe. A gray one, Zell's and two gray and whites, Bernice's and Baby's. She had a black one too but it died. Zella went to Beulah's and I suppose she is going to church. I guess I haven't said that Mr. Pratt brought us out a separator.
