Planning for Summer.

If you are planning to take a pleas
ure or business trip during the sum
mer, try getting pillow and "knap-
sack" ready now Cravenetted ma
terial is a good choice for the pillow,
as it is impervious to occasional wet
tings, and can be laundered. Or the
pillow may have an extra cover of
smooth linen or silk, to be slipped
over and fastened securely with but
tons or snap fasteners. This should
be about half a yard square, with
strong straps at the upper corners by
which to hang 1t over the chair top,
preventing it from slipping down. The
knapsack is just a fit bag, with a
stout strap to hold or hang it by, and
can be made to sling over the shout
der, If desired. 1t should have a few
small pockets on the inside and flap
to fasten down. In this one can carry
small necessities, a book, or other
articles, which traveller always finds
a use for.

"KING OF TANNING ISLANDS"
Father Emmanuel Roualer, Known by
the Above Title, Said to Be
Worth 100000.

Father Emmanuel Rougier known
in the South Pacific as king Of the
Tanning islands," was among the pas
sengers on a liner from Honolulu.
The islands of Christmas and Fan
ming we're sold recently by Father
Rougier to a British syndicate for
100000.
81 am still Snterest in Christmas
and Tanning islands, which I sold TO
a British syndicate. They are now
being developed for copra on large
scale Father Rouger is the owner
of other coral dots in the far south
seas, which are rich in copra and
phosphates and which he appears to
dispose of as a real estate dealer
might a corner lot.
Father Rougier went to the south
Pacific islands as missionary a quar-
ter of a century ago. His life's his
tory among the natives has been one
Of adventure and evangelical work
among the wild tribes.
Father Rougier, who is said to be
worth more than one million dollars,
is known all through the south Pa
ciflc and the antipodes, where he oc-
casionally pops up after a quiet SO
journ in Europe.
The romance OF the south eeas
clings to him wherever he goes and
although he makes frequent trips to
the outside world, he always returns
to the isle dotted waters of the trop-
les.
It is said that Father Rougier knows
more about the strange islands that
jut above the bosom of the Pacific
south of Honolulu than any other
white man who has been in the wa
ters. He knows their location and
has visited the majority of them. Fa-
ther Rougier wears the garb of his
clerical vocation, whether in the cap
itals of Europe or in a copra grove of
some distant islet.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
WILL WIND Up TODAY
Consolation Matches Played
Yesterday at Bachelors
Court to Clear Decks.

In order that the annual District cham
pionship tennis tournament now being
played on the Bachelors courts at Cathe-
dral avenue and Woodley lane may be
completed today, 1t was necessary for the
consultations to be played yesterday, and
several matches In this class were de-
cided, the lower half OF the sen1i-f1nal
! round having been reached and the upper
half completed.
BY winning three matches. NJ. M. Trum-
bull has reached the final bracket. In
the second round he won from NJ. j.
Pierce by default, while he defeated Sam
Herrick, 6-3 and 90 in the third round
and won from X. w. FlOurnoy, O. and
6-3, in the semi-f1nals.
In all of his matches Trumbull has
shown unexpected strength, Herrick and
Flournoy being easily Outplayed yester-
day. The match with Herrick was the
strong game these days. Trumbun has a
good stroke and a fairly good service, and
these, coupled with a strong overhead
game, make him a very hard man to
beat.
The best match Of the day was that, In
the third round, between D. Hillyer and
G. T. Sinclair. the former winning after
two Of the hardest kind OF sets. Ga and
IS. AS may be judged by the score,
these players were very evenly matched.
games first one player led and then the
other. Hilyer being lucky enough to have
winning streaks In both sets at crfti-
cal stage Of the game.
In the second set 1t looked as II three
sets would be necessary, as Sinclair
was Sd and 1910. but Ht1lyer
deuced him on the game. finally taking
it and then winning the next two. Both
men proved to be good getters, and
showed lots of speed. Hillyer covering
his court better. but missing more
shots Altogether he played q little
better than his opponent. and the diff
ference between them Is just about
indicated by their relative scores This
victory put Hillyer in the semi-final
round, where he will meet the winner
