Charles HiIIiard, Of Honey Boy
Evans Company, Also Has
Liking for Aviation.

If"9E prettiest girl of minstrel

some Augusta, Ga, boz,
who impersonates the gentler sex. but
who Is as decidedly opposite girls in
general as one could imagine.
He is Charles HiIliard, who win he
in Washington next week with George
Evans and his Honey Boy minstrels,
at the Columbia Theater. and who. next
TO baseball and golf. likes aviation
better than any other sport in tie
world.
He has announced that after the
close of the theatrical season he viii
become a pupil at the aviation school
at Minneola, l.. l., but this story isn't
about his aviation ambitions, but about
his clothes. It's queer fact that wou,-

beautiful "togs' worn by female i'm
personators on the stage. than the
pretty gowns worn by their sisters
There must be some reason. Perhaps
II is because they like to study tire
taste OF the sterner sex. At any rate
the advance agent of the Evans min
strel show assures me that We shall
see some very wanderful gowns next
week and what Is of more Importance
than this statement, is the one In whic h
he assures me that Mr.. Hilliard will
wear diamonds. real diamonds, in the
heels of his slippers when he appears
on the stage in his representations.
The dainty French heeled slippers
which he wears while giving his un-

the four figures.
All artists have foibles and fads OF
some sort" he says, In excuse of his
extravagance regarding precious stones.
Some of them are constantly being

realm, varying in size from a watch

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
JOHNNY'S WISH.

Johnny always wanted to DC
something different from what hs
|, had to do. He wished he was ir
some other country. or he wished
he lived where boys did not have to
wash their face and hands or CONT
their hair. In fact nothing quite suited
him.
one day, as he was walking through
tree.
There, that's what l should like tc
do" he said: 81 should like to be a
squirrel and run up tree and eat
nuts and have a good time. A squirrel
does not have to wash its face. and no
one ever bothers 1t amout keeping its
hair combed. Yes. I am sure I would
rather be a squirrel than anything else
in all the world"
''Ali right, you can be one. and we
will see how you like it, said little
creature that Johnny had not noticed
sitting on a bush near him.
Before he could make anv reply the
fairy had touched him with her wand
and Johnny was no longer a boy but a
little gray squirrel.
Johnny, or rather Johnny squirrel.
capered about and was quite pleased
with this change for a few minutes,
but suddenly he heard a dog bark and
not being afraid Of dog as a boy
he quite forgot that a dog could harm
a squirrel. so he did not run until the
dog was close to him and nearly had
him in his mouth.
His heart beat so fast when he was
safe up a tree that Johnny Squirrel
felt he should never dare leave the
tall branches again.
Then he left hungry, but there were
no nuts on the tree, SO he looked about
for a hole where he hoped some were
stored.
But when lie had found il two very
angry eyes looked out at him and d
very angry squirrel asked II he thought
It had nothing to do but gather nuts
for lazy squirrels like him.
Johhny Squirrel forgot the dog and
ran down the tree chased by the other
squirrel. who told him never to dare
come in that tree again.
''Whiz' Johnny Squirrel felt some
thing 60 past him. and looking around
he saw a man following him with n
gun. Away went Johnny Squirrel into
the bushes. and after waiting for the
man to pass lie ran up another tree.
This time he found he had chosen a
tree where two large robins had made
their nest, and thinking he had come
for their eggs they began to chatter
at him and fy about him, fappinG
their wings in his eyes until he felt sure
they would put out his eyes. Down h.
went to the ground again. but sorne
boys saw him and threw a stone AT
him. striking him on a leg. and pooI

cluster of bushes, hoping to escape tho

he had to run on with his leg hurting
as he went
He finally escaped and ran UP a tree
without being seen by the boys. "Oh.
dear" he sighed. II never would have
thought 1t was SO terrible to be a squir-
rel. / thought all they had to do was
eat nuts and run around. / am so hun
cry ! could eat anything"
Just then he saw some nuts on the
ground not far away. and down went
Johnny Squirrel. but before he reached
the spot TWO other squirrels had seen
them and were there before him.
These are our nuts" said one. I'VE
saw them first, and you must not touch
one of them"
But Johnny Squirrel was hungry and
he was determined to have his share,
SO he picked up a nut. No sooner had
he done so than both squirrels ran at
him and scratched and bit poor Johnny
Squirrel until he dropped the nut and
ran as fast as he could. He sat under
a bush not caring to move and thinking
what a foolish thing he did when he
wished himself a squirrel, when a voice
asked: We'll, how do you like being a
squirrel? Is 1t better than being a
boy?''
A fairy stood beside him laughing.
Johnny Squire! shook his head. No,
he said. Il had no idea they had so
many things to bother them. | would
rather wash my face and keep my hair
brushed than be in danger of losing my
life and fighting for food all the time.
l wish ! were a boy again"
Johnny felt a queer tingling sensa-
ton, and when IL was past he found
himself under a tree, where he had
fallen asleep. He jumped up and rubbed
his eyes: then he looked up In the tree
A squirrel was looking down at him.
Il am glad | am not you,' said
Johnny II know where Is a nice din
ner waiting for me, and you have got
to hustle for yours If you are lucky
enough to escape the hunter. Johnny
ran home and he did not have O. b.
told to wash his face and make himself
tidy for dinner. He was glad he was a
boy, and no one ever heard him COM
plain again or wish he was anything
else.
