Carlo is a black cocker spaniel and he is a nioe old fellow too. He bas nerved his time In Hunt's dog show, so now ha Is going to spend the rest r.t bis life at borne. He looks so plti t'A as ha wags his tall and looks at ?'ou with- bis- dark brown eyes. He Ikes boys better than he does girls because boys can run and jump In the dirt, and that's what be likes to do. He is mora company than a person. He hasn't forgotten all of his tricks and sometimes he will do them for us. When he does them we usually give him something to eat, but we don't make him do his tricks for us unless he wants to, because he is too old. I have another little dog named Brownie. He is a water spaniel, but he does not know any tricks because I have never trained htm to do any except to pull a little wagon.

Robert Burns tells us "that this la thought a nla-ht when wltchea and other miscnier-majting beings are au aoroao, whUe the fairies on that night hold a grand anniversary. Halloween la a relio of the daya of paganism and originated long before the Christian era. It was tbe harvest festival of the ancient Celts. Immense fires were built on the bills and oertaln myetlo rites performed. When Chris tianitv took the Dlace of the heathen, re ligion, the church, Instesd of forbidding tho . celebration, gave it a different meaning, and in thla way the ancient harveat festival of tbe Celts became All Hallow eve. or the eve of All Saints' day, as tho first o November had been dedicated to all tho saints. The celebration of Halloween In Scot land aad England, especially In the ancient villages, la said to be very much like that or the ancient pagans. It Is from those countries that most of the American traditions have been imported. Halloween la a delightful combination of mystery and mirth. In the north of England nuta are ao generally asso ciated with tho celebration that Hallow een la a til I called "nut crack night." Weeks beforehand tha small boy a to nutting and gather their harveat for tha ocoaalon. Whether our ancestors did tha frivn. toue things on Halloween that are dona in this day or not la a matter of doubt but Hallowean la now celebrated moat often with pranks mora or lens foolish.

Next to a horse, a doe- is a man's best friend. There are many kinds of eogs. Among tne most userui , to householders, are terriers, spaniels and Duuaogs, ror iney are good watchdogs. They will frighten away burglars by barking as loud as they can to awaken their masters. Tha bulldnir la beet for a watchdog because he la a good fight er ana la very strong. The shepherd dog Is useful to a shep herd because it will guard the sheep. If the shepherd la drlvlna a lares flock of sheep to pasture, and some of th sheen trv to run awav. the doar will drive them Into the flock again. If any wild animals- try to kill the aheeD the dog will chase them away. At night tne aog nuaaies the riock togelher and then starts the leader of the flock home. The other aheeD will follow thn leader. The Newfoundland. Alaskan, and St. Bernard dogs are useful to travelers. The Alaskan dogs draw the sled con taining the traveler's Drovlslons. In the Alps mountains the St. Bernard dogs are sent out to rind lost travelers. They wear a little barrel of brandv fastened around their necks. When tney rind a lost person they go and bring help.

Camping on the Clackamas. By Ross Linville Kerns School, SeV' enth A. Last year some friends and I went camping on tne ciacxamas river, wnere there are lots of crawfish, and mos- aultos. also some trout. We started early Sunday morning by way of boat, to Oregon City. Then crossing the Willamette river on the high suspension bridge from which we had an excellent view of the Willamette falls, we boarded the small electric car CAEL0 Drawn by Edna Probst, Sixth A, Irv lngton School. of the Falls City railroad and proceeded on our way. Wo arrived at our destination about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We Ditched our tent, unrolled our blankets and pro ceeded to make an oven or furnace. First gathering flat stones which are found In abundance In thla region, we f Mastered them together with mud, plac n an old dace of sheet Iron over tha top to eook on. wnen a spring or clean water had for them to air, as they are perfectly capable of allowing- tho fresh air to blow over them without your aaalat&nce. When they havo aired, for perhaps an hour or longer, apread the lower sheet on ths bed smoothly, and tuck It In, under tho mattress, at the sldea, foot and heado Now comes the top sheet; tuck It In at tne bottom only, its widest hem should come at tho bead of the bed. but if you forget and put it at the foot. In tne first or tne sveeg. don t for rood ness' sake, change It until you have a clean sneet. Next are tho blankets and comfort ers: spread them over tne sheets, one at a time. -nd tuck them in firmly at the bottom, now turn the ton ahect down over them about 12 Inches and turn them all in tinder the maltresa, at the sides. Put the spread on next; tuck it in at the bottom, but let It hang at me aides, set tne pillows, nrter "bak ing them a little, to make them plump. lengmwue, ai ino top, witn tne open lngs at each side of the bed. now your bed Is made, and I advise you not to throw yourself upon It. or turn a somersault upon It, as It la not good for tha bed or mother's tem per, either.

"All right, I'll go home and get my things ready," The next morning, the boys, with their carpet-bags, started for the camp. They were armed with their shotguns, expecting to get many birds. They arrived safely, and taking their suns, killed a few partridges for din ner. In the morning they went hunt ing, each going the opposite direction, agreeing to meet at a certain point. When Raymond was about half way there, he thought he saw something move in the bushes. He trembled with fear, thinking it was a wildcat. Sud lenly It sprang out of the bushes, and iot thinking what It was, he ran, but A-as quickly overtaken and who should t be but Ned Belden, who had taken t shortcut through the woods. "What's tho matter, Raymond T" he iskcd. and then buret Into-laughter, i iou gave me a aanay scare, Ned, said Raymond, recovering from his fright.

Our schoolhouse Is on East Twenty eighth street between Couch and Davis. It is a larKO yellow build in a-. In front or the school there la a large, well-kept yard In which roses and geraniums are planted. There Is a broad cement walk leading un to the two front entrances. This walk is used as a playground by tne gins. Our school haa two large basements, one ror tne gins ana ono ror the boy There are 10 schoolrooms and a large assemoiy nan in wnicn mere is a tem porary classroom. There are three small rooms behind the platform In th assembly hall. Our room Is number seven on tha see. ond floor. There are four windows on tne nortn side or our room. On th winaow Bins mere are some geraniums. a maidenhair fern and a Jerusalem cnerry plant, mere are 38 desks and the teacher's desk in our room.

In the meadow, down by the mill stream, was an old "fairy ring," which they used for the stage. Tall grasses and bushes grew ffound this "ring" and from bahlnd these, they would, in turn, appear upon the stage. Una, was j iiama, ana ioo tne parts or Puck, snd Nick Bottom. The chil dren did the play so well that they mont ovar It three times before they ate the supper which they had brought with them. Not long after they had settled to eat their supper, the bushes parted and a very, very homely little fellow stood before them. Hla hands and feet were much too large for hla body and ha wore a pointed cap on hla head. He laughej at the children's surprise and introduced himself as "Puck. After this l.'na and Dan saw Puck often. He told them many stories of the real and mythical figures of "Old England." and sometimes he broua-ht with him one of these characters, who loui uie cnuaren or nis lire, in a very interesting way. We have been reading tbe book, and this merry little Puck has made us all want to know more of the "wall" built to Keep the Plots away from the Roman villages, and of the "old thlnirs" that hava left us some of the words that we use every day, and some of our holiday customs. - . - Portland aa a River Port.
