We got prizes if we got an apple in bobbing apples, and if we' could catch a doughnut in our mouths, hanging on a string. 1 don't know what I will do this year at Halloween time, but I hope I will have as good a time as 1 had last year.

When we got there my cousin showed us around the place. They had horses and colts, calves and cows and a lot of little pigs and a big Scotch collie dog with little pups. They were so playful. I love to play with them. We would run the cat up the tree and run the pig, too. I really had a good time. Richard Posther, Hibberd School.

Hallowe'en Partv After school on Wednesday afternoon the boys and girls of Finley school had a Hallowe'en party in the Kindergarten room. Some of the boys had on Indian suits, and all the children had false faces, so that they had lots of fun. For the lunch, all the children were supposed to bring an apple or something, and then put everything together. The rooms were all decorated in Hallowe'en colors, with Jack-o-'lanterns and pumpkins around, and the party was one of the most successful ones ever held in that school. NEW GAME AT FINLEY The boys at Finley school have invented a new game, which might be called the "Riders" game. Any number of boys may play, and play as long as they want to, because there really is no end to the game The boys are divided Into two sides, the White Riders and the uiacK Kiaers, each side having a prison where they try to put their "enemies," and after they get their captives in the prison the game continues by the successful Riders trying to keep' their prisoners in. The game is so popular that the boys play it all the time. WAS NOT PRESENT The undersigned did not attend the Hallowe'en party Monday evening, October 29. His name was given among the guests present.

TOTS EXPERIENCE Tot was at his grandmother's house one summer morning. He went out on the door-step and began looking at his little red stock ings. His name was not really Tot, but Charles Henry Augustus, a very long name for such a very little boy.:. ; -4 . The reason that he had such a long name was this. When he was a baby he had two grandfathers and an. uncle who each wanted him named for himself. His father and mother named him for all three, but everybody cailed him Tot. At last he grew tired looking at his stockings and began to sing. Tot thought he could sing; no one else thought so. After a little while he went to the barnyard. There were plenty of ducks and geese around, besides chickens and turkeys. Tot always liked to look at them. He liked one old turkey gobbler best of all. But Mr. Gobbler did not like Tot's red stockings. As soon as he saw them he began ruffling up his feathers and with a fierce gobble flew at them. This took Tot bo by surprise that he fell over backward, with hia head in the chickens' water-pan and his feet in the air. How he did scream! .;. j His grandmother heard him in the kitchen. His aunt in the par lor. His mother in her room. She ran down to the barn-yard. Nobody knew what had happened or where Tot was. His mother ran to the barn-yard, the others ran after her. There they found poor Tot on his back, screaming with all of hia might. AH the geese and chickens were making a great noise. The old gobbler was just ready to make another attack. Aunt Mary seized an old broom and drove away the turkey. Aunt Kate stopped her ears with her fingers, to keep the noise out. Grandma did nothing; but Tot's mother picked him up and took him to the house. After he was washed and comforted, his mother asked him why he went to the barn-yard. Tot said nothing, because be had no reason. So that surely taught him a lesson. Mary UHom, 6A Grade, Baxter School.
