So coming from all directions with filled baskets and buckets, they soon had all things ready. The table was spliced to its full length. The snow white linens added to its appearance and with some extra cooking done at his home a dainty dinner was soon spread, such as loving hands so well know how to prepare. Uncle Mose, as we shall now call him, was heard to exclaim that he
wished birthdays came more than once a year, for the reason that he enjoyed this one so well. We are quite sure he doesn't care to grow old at all. Any way he loves to have company. After dinner he showed us into a room where he had a nice chifferobe he made himself. Sure was a beauty. A portion of our time was passed away listening to the violin, on which Uncle Mose is a professional. At a late hour in the afternoon the guests departed wishing the host many more such happy days.
