A Baby's Diary.
;Maw' Wase.---A-s- near -as I am: able
.€b judge fom appearances, my arrival'
has kicked, up quite an excitement in
-the. honsehtlld.. the figures
1 have been s gbed add
"given as 8 lbs. I'have also been care=
fully inspected and pronounced sound
in wind and limb; its ago as far as I am
concerned. My youngdad seems to be
%iokled half to death and his breath
:Smells of beer; When he heard I was a
ley he went odt bank of the house and
3iiinped on his hat for joy. If I don't
make him •jump for some other cause
before I get over this redness of com,-
plexion, then you may play marbles on
Any bald head.
`Sacartn WEEK Nurse is here yet and
/ am on my good behavior. She looks
Ito me like a woman who Wouldn't take
*Such rasp of a youngster and I cfrATat a row until my muscle works up a
Me more..
%everalparties were in to see me and
had to listen to the usual number of
congratulations. Some talk of bringing
me up on a bottle, but' I'll have some-
thing to say about that later on. I'm
laying low and taking things easy; Dad
is still walking around with a grin on
-his face and there was the smell of gin
cocktail in the room last night. When
he remarked that I was just the quiet-
est and most good-natured baby that
ever was babyed, I came near giving
myself dead away. There's a surprise
in store for that hayseed and .it'll hit
him like a load of bricks.
THIRD wERB.—Everything so-so.
:Nurse goes Saturday night. She brags
about what a little darling I am, but
she's talking for wages. I am quite sure
she mistrusts me. People keep coming
in to paw me over and look at my feet
and the general verdict is (ahem!) that
I am just the cutest, handsomest young
'nn ever born. That's all bosh, how-
evet, and I am not- at all struck on my
shape. -
They allowed dad to carry me around
a few minutes last evening, and you'd a
thought he owned the nth, He _said;
he could walk with me for a week, and
I just gurgled.- He'll drop to something
before he is a week older. I haven't said
iq.. h- thisfar, but I've: done=a _heap of
thinking just the. same. I don't purpose,
to :take. advantageof the baby act mueh
longer. Had a row with nurse and had
to give in_ beaten -but not conqu_ered..-_._-
Foams WZE s.—I 7 told you I'd do. it
and so I did.. The night after the nurse..
left I took up that unfinished bt sines,
w.ith.dad and. along about:$, o'clock in;
'themorning-he was, about the sickest
man yon ever saw. I didn't want to
-kill him in one night, -so I saved some
of him over for the next. Colic, you
know, all_ bales -have it and I wasn't
going to be left out. Kicks, wriggles,.
squirms and yells, with dad. trotting up,
anidown until he finally shook his fist,
ander my nose and hoped I'd die (but I.
didn't).: Then I let up al-ittlo, but I've.
got a lot more colic saved up for another
gime.. -
The happy grin has quite vanished,
. from his face and they say he bas .lost
five pounds. That's all,right;: I_purposc-
to. take; a, hand. in; from this time on,. ij
the old man gets out, tQ, lodge Qr. a
checker party again_ this summer_ you.
just ask ins:how-it happened..
I am keeping _the run, of thingsiunder.
the proper dates,. and now and -then I'll
dish. yon. up. half a column or so and lets,
you. kpow, who's. rnwiing, the house..
Dad may goany time next week, but at,
