members must be up and stirring by 5.
Old Dandy would have to be fed and
hitched to the light blackboard, wag-
on Mr.. Potter had bought for just such
occasions as this one. The pretty, ar
tistic little basket phaeton was well
enough for driving about the town, but
would never answer for carrying
camping outfit, besides making room
for three occupants.
After going to bed Billy lay awake
a long time. Then gradually his eyes
closed in slumber But scarcely had he
lost himself in the Land of Nod when
he was called by his mother, who told
him it was time to dress. With sleep
still in his eyes, Billy got into his
clothes as fast as he could and ran
down to the gate, where old Dandy
stood hitched to the blackboard, which
was packed to its capacity with tent,
grub box cooking utensils, fishing
tackle, bedding and odds and ends in
the form of camp accessories. Billy
tumbled into his place beside his fa-
ther and Jean, all three sitting on the
one spring seat. Then Mr.. Potter
picked up the reins and away went old
Dandy, trotting off toward the fine
wooded hills in the distance, which
marked the borders Of the Great river
bottoms.
And before Billy had hardly come
out of his morning sleep they drew up
at a cozy nook betewen two clifflike
banks which made a walled-in house.
A few feet away rolled the waters of
Great river, and the bank which led to
it was green and messy. Fine trees
shaded their camping place, and pretty
soon all were out of the wagon, work.
ing like Turks, setting the camp in
order. But Billy, eager to get to fish

freshing water along with the boys
but a little of such entertainment
sufficed and he found much time for
attending to the needs of the inner man
and boy.
"WeI get up very early in the
morning-say O'clock said Mr.. Pot
ter to his sons that evening as they
all sat at dinner. Then We'll get to
Great river before the heated part of
the day. And old Dandy won't mind
the load in the cool of the morning"
Old Dandy was the driving horse be-
longing to the Potters and was always
considered one of the family.
'Yes, that's right, papa" acquiesced
Jean. ITS a pretty good load for
Dandy-the wagon, tent, grub-boX and
we three. And, of course, there are
many other things to add to the
weight, such as bedding, our rubber
boots, fishing tackle, etc.
"Oh, Dandy won't feel such load"
smiled Mrs. Potter. And he'll be so
glad to get to the country-in the fine
woods. Were it not for Sister Agnes
coming to visit us next week and such
a lot to be done in preparation for her
visit, l would join you for a taste of
nature, camping out with papa and my
boys would be very enjoyable"
''Oh. I wish you would go with US,
mamma" cried both Jean and Billy in
a breath Then Mr.. Potter added his
persuasion to his wife, begging her to
go with them for a few days. If she
could not remain the entire week. But
Mrs. Potter declined, saying that she
would go with them the next summer,
and that they would then make great
preparation for a whole month of
camping and fishing.
When the clock struck . the Potter
family hurried off to bed, for the male
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-01

there is scheme afoot for going on
an outing. Eth, Jean?"
That's right, SIR" laughed Jean,
pushing aside his plate, on which re-
mained half a fluffy, delicious waffle,
covered with maple syrup. "At any
other time, papa, 1 couldn't leave that
waffle. But just now I haven't a bit
more appetite. I've had my FILL"
"Then we-you and Twill see about
the tent" said Mr.. Potter. Hope the
rats haven't gotten about it," And ac-
companied by Jean, Mr.. Potter went
to the attic to pull out the camping
tent. To his satisfaction he found the
mice and rats had not bothered it.. and
that it was in splendid condlrlon. After
the tent had been carried down to the
back yard and opened out for inspec-
tion Mr.. Potter and Jean got the camp
ing blankets together, hung them on
the clothes line for airing and brush
ing. Then the "grub- box" was got
from the cellar and carried to the
kitchen, for Mrs. Potter and Bridget
were already preparing the edibles
which were to fill it. Save for bread,
butter, crackers, cheese, a cake and
some doughnuts, the food would be
uncooked and would consist of bacon,
ham, beans, potatoes and some sort OF
dried fruit. Whenever Mr.. Potter and
his boys went camping they had plen-
ty to eat, for Mr.. Potter played cook
while the boys fished swan, hunted
and explored. And as the boys al
ways returned to camp half starved
their "cook" endeavored to alays have
a good meal waiting for them.
OF course, Mr.. Potter did not al
ways remain at the tent bending over
the campfire, but often cast in a line
himself, pulling out some fine finnies,
and also he took his plunge in the re-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-01

OAY, children, how would you like
to go over on Great river for a
~ week of camping out, fishing and
hunting?" This was the question
asked by Mr.. Potter of his two sons,
Jean and Billy. aged, respectively, IL
and 10.
"Oh, papa, do you mean it?" cried
Billy, leaping from his chair and wav-
ing his arms over his head in his
glad excitement, while a broad smile
covered his older brothers face as he
said, enthusiastically: 1T would be
great, papa! Shall we go soon?"
This week-tomorrow, if we can be
ready so soon" replied Mr.. Potter.
''Your mother says she can have our
grub box ready, and all we have to
do is to get out our old last summers
fishing clothes, our tackle and tent.
The tent is all right, doesn't need any
repairs, for 1 had it put into good
shape last summer after we had used
it. So all that is necessary is for us
to work getting our traps together"
''Gee, We'll be ready, all right, papa"
cried Billy. Il could be in shape to
start this afternoon" And he bound
ed away from the breakfast table and
up the stairs to his own room, where
he began to gather together the things
he would want during his outing.
Billy won't eat another bite till he
is in camp" laughed Mrs. Potter.
Hes so excitable, bless his dear heart.
And like as not he'll get some things
packed that he doesn't need, and
others that he does want will be left
behind. So if you'll excuse me, papa
and Jean, I'll run upstairs and see to
his getting ready"
We'll, l guess we're all through
breakfast, anyway" said Mr.. Potter

HN HE topics which are announced
this week ought to prove inter-
esting to you. l have given
thoughtful consideration to them, and
hope you will find them to your liking.
The current topics subject is one on
which hope to have many responses.
The California laws seem to display
much discrimination in the matter of
guardianship of children, and 1 want
to know what the boys and girls of the
Junior think of the matter The sub
ject is one which you might all use for
debate in your school contests, and it
is certainly one in which your parents
can offer many suggestions for you.
They will each have ideas upon the
subject which you are at perfect lib
erty to incorporate in your letters to
me, if you give them credit for the
ideas and do not take their views as
your own.
The young artists will find oppor-
tunity for humorous work in illustrat-
ing the adventures of Johnny and his
roller coaster. 1 hope that all those
boys whose tastes lead to caricature
will make good use of this opportunity
and draw their pictures just as funny
as they can make them. 1t will be good
practice for every one to try for some
thing amusing this time, and it will
delight me very much if 1 receive a
great many pictures for the contest.
The writers will have a chance to
write a regular thriller this week, and
1 would like to have the stories just
as astonishing as you can make them.
Let no adventure be too exciting, no
imaginative flight too high to use for
this story; and if you can think of
some most unusual tail" something
no one else would think of, you will be
that much nearer winning the prize.
By the time you read this letter you
will all be celebrating May day, and
1 can imagine the lovely little baskets
of flowers which you have placed at
the doors of your friends homes. 1
trust that in sending these little tokens
of remembrance and affection you have
tried to remember some OF the older
members OF the neighborhood. Each
of you knows where some feeble old
man or tired, lonely woman lives; and
since there may be no loving little
hands in the immediate household to
carry the token of springtime to them,
why not let one of your baskets go to
such a house, and just see how de-
lighted the residents will be at your
thoughtfulness and consideration, and
how their eyes will brighten and their
smiles come quickly when they realize
the friendly errand which has brought
you.
The writer's who are going~to tell us
about visit to the old farm may use
some actual experience, or they may
write a fictitious account of such
visit. l would prefer that it be some
experience you have known about, even
if the visitors were friends or some
members of your family instead of you
yourself.
The topics for the immediate week
are all easy for you to write upon, and
/ am particularly anxious that writer's
for the Current Topics subject shall
take some pains to discover about the
juvenile court and its place in Los
Angeles affairs.
With love to you all,
AUNT LAURIE.

saying nothing to his father or brother
about his intention. Seating himself
on the brink of the stream, he threw
his line far out over the water the
hook dipping far down into the blue cur
rent. Hardly had the hook disap-
peared when Billy felt strong jerk
at his line. Quickly he began to reel
1t, but the weight at the other end was
so terribly heavy that 1t almost dragged
him into the water and he feared the
line would break. Then as he was
slowly rceling in the line great mon
ster of s. fish leaped into the air, tugged
at the line and fell back into the water

eyes beheld that fish they almost
bulged from his head, for it was no
ordinary fish. but a tremendously big
one. sun reeling, Billy set up cry
for help, calling at the top of his voice:
Papa, Jean, come quickly! I've got

He will 0rag me into the water IL
you don't hurry! Gee, but he's a

Here, son, what does all this mean?
Come, shake yourself awake, my boy!"
1t was Billy's fathers voice that spoke
in his ear, a voice which seemed far
away and strange and broke in upon
Billy's cry for help.
Then, trembling in every limb from
excitement, Billy slowly opened his
eyes and beheld his father, in night
robe. standing beside him. And, look
ing about, Billy saw that he was in his
own little room, sitting upright in the
bed, ieaping over it's edge in a strange
position. Then the truth dawned upon
him. He had been dreaming. with
look IF disappointment in his face, he
lay back on his pillow. saying Slowly:
Gee. papa 1t was the biggest fish
you ever saw il only 1t might have
been sure enough and not dream.
Why. it was so strong that 1t almost
dragged me in. What pity 1t WASN'T
truei" And Billy sighed as he SAID
this.
Mr.. Potter laughed heartily then
said: "Well, son, you made enough
noise to have caught shark-or a
