FINAL WINNERS ON CHARITY.

/, Those are. the three questions.
which Skillet" is asking of his
guests for that notable matinee.
There is nothing compulsory
about the ticket winners taking
more than q spectators part in the
festivities, but 1t would tickle The
Times squirrel editor to have
some of his little friends cut-up
with him on that day.
/ He has already arranged spec
tacular demonstration of profession
al talent, but he is personally to
lead an amateur section OF the
parade which will be strictly local
In character and besides Barber
John" Bower, the Insane King,
Spark Plug and few others who
have volunteered, he wants a few
more freaks in the line Of march
outside Of himself.
So II any of you lucky members OF
'Skillet's" party wish to throw off
the cloak of care that day and
join in the hilarity to the extent
of dressing-up in your widest array
and possibly doing a sommersault
grandstand, just let Skillet" know

one Of his very craziest uniforms
that day, and. wants all of his
associates to feel as loose and dis

warning to the bugs to read this
column every day for any further
announcements and for the grand
announcement of his next contest
which will begin Immediately after
April 26, but which will be an

latest or possibly before.
Look out for It and IL you've
enjoyed the acrostic competition, be
sure to enter in the next contest,
which besides having free baseball
tickets for its goal will include
awards that will be well worth any

TAR off in the South Pacific
lies a group Of islands
known as the Tonga, or
Friendly Islands.
There all is peace and har-
mony. The traveller is struck by
the prosperity and general air of
well-being which pervades these
islands that live up to their name.
Although they are under the
protection of Great Britain-and
accept her help in the matter of
postoffices and official matters
OF state-the subjects of this
little country are absolutely loyal
to their native queen.
And what a queen she is! Her
name is Queen Saloti and her
royal bearing is the heritage of a
line of royal ancestors who have
beep queens and kings for as
many centuries as the proudest
monarchs of Europe.
Queen Saioti has been com.
pared to a classic goddess in
in her proportions, measuring
with a native grace which many
of her Western sisters cannot imi-
tate.
Occasionally Queen Saloti dons
European dress. At the time OF
her wedding the finest, white
satin dress that could be fash
Toned in Sydney. Australia
adorned her magnificent figure.
This progressive queen has
seen to it that her little kingdom
can boast of well-made roads and
that no special tax Is required
for their maintenance.
For taxation in the Friendly
Islands Is of very unusual cnar'
acter, as every man starts paying
taxes early in his youth.
This is the way it Is arranged.
On reaching the age of sixteen
the government gives each BOY
eight acres of land. On this !and
the boy Is by law obliged to plant
cocoanuts, from which he derives
a very comfortable income and on
which he must, until his death,
pay taxes.
AS a result Of the even scale
of taxation, the citizens prosper
and the country prospers. In fact.
prosperity Is so general on this
group Of islands that their hand-
some queen can declare that her
country enjoys a unique distinc-
tion-that Of being the only coun-
try in the world free from a. M
tional debt.

She has told the story Of the

And now. finally, she has ex-

This is what she said:

amer Aspect

" HE world of the trees was
late this year in assuming its
Il summer aspect, and where
live, in northern New Jersey, the
long.watched-for change came
with a rush. In less than a week
all the bare limbs and branches
were swiftly hidden in wonderful
masses Of foliage, and the green
upper story of the old house Of
humanity, from which our remote
ancestors descended to inhabit the
ground floor, and to learn to use
their legs instead Of their arms
for locomotion, once more began
calling to that prehistoric instinct
which makes every healthy boy
in the country a tree-climber-in
wish If not In action.
For me the fascination Of thick,
wide-spreading lofty tree-tops, in
the midst of which the great
boughs can be glimpsed like road
ways leading up to an aerial
world. suspended between earth
and sky, is one of the contem-
plative delights Of summer life.
If that proves my descent from

self has its traditions and this
desire to mount up into the UNI
brageous tree-world, in magma
ton If not in person, may come
in along a lingering nerve-track
left by primitive habits.
Even when considered simply
as roof, guarding us from the
glare and heat of the sun, and
a good protection against light
showers, a forest or park OF trees
doubles the homelikeness Of the
earth. A single large spreading
tree may have that effect. We
don't want to face the blue dome,
the clouds. the sunblaze and the
stars, all the time. We have an
Unborn love of shelter which may
be another memory tradition of
primeval arboreal life. We shrink
from lying bare to the sky. We
like dimly lighted vistas, and are
charged by things half seen.
Only those who live in the
country the year round can fully
experience the deep satisfaction
that the return of the foliage af-
fords. This feeling is perhaps
more than compensation for the
deprivation of winter, when the
earth seems to be driving through
the cold, tempestuous ocean of
space under bare poles.
In suburban places there is an
increasing tendency to preserve
old trees and to plant new ones

when Jack died. For many years
they drew the town hearse
Both mules were credited with
almost human reasoning powers.
When Jennie was sent to town
without a driver she sometimes
threw a shoe. On such occasions
Instead of going to the hitching
post, as was her wont, she would
go to the blacksmith shop and
hold up her foot to be shod. In
flytime she would go to the
grocery store and whinnny until
sprayed with fly killer. She had
two pet tricks, one of tempting
dogs close enough to kick them

running away at times when she
felt heavy work was due.
