The KING OF INNISHKEA.
He Dwells on an Irish Island and Rules
Mayo Tribe.

About ! 6 miles from Dugort, in Achill
island, out to sea, looking like thin
line of sand in the waves of the Attain
tic, is the island Of Innishkea- One fine
morning our party started TO visit 1t in

visible among the islanders, and it was
very hard 70 realize that we were still
but SO hours journey from London
The inhabitants turned out en- masse-
The women and children III their scanty
garments of red flannel crouched outside
their cabins, while numbers of the men
ran down 70 the beach and put out in
their coraclcs ON chance Of rowing rs TO
land. It was a strange scene and curl
ously like Z picture plate in boy book
of adventures. We knew there was a
king of Innishkea, and soon a tall,
bronze faced man was pointed out 10 Us
as his majesty. On landing all the party
were introduced and conducted by him
to the palace, where the queen dowager,
with her daughter, babe Us welcome i'll

The old lady was in her picturesque
native costume-red dress and plaid
shawl over her head The princess, how

hooker arrayed herself III modern fash

on penetrating into the reception room
to find advertisements from shops i'll

churchyard hung up TO eIIbellish the
wall, though only by a favored few
could they be read.
The island was destitute of any school
or means OF instruction for tie children,
a very small proportion either under
stood or spoke English, and there was
neither watch nor clock among the peo-
pie, who had q happy go lucky idea of
time and troubled themselves little as
to Greenwich regulations
There were no church bells to ring, no
trains TO catch, no office hours requiring
punCtuality, so when the sun was high
in the Heavens they would get through
their not arduous farming duties, and

filling his Golfers besides lcvying taxes

The Writers Froude Like

"Whom do you rank as the first of
modern English prose writer's" asked
Mr.. Fro1de as we were strolIing one aft
ernoon in Chelsea. Had Lord Tennyson
suddenly demanded to know whom 1
thought to be the greatest poet of the
day L could not have been more dunn
founded. Noting my hesitation and per-
haps guessing its cause, Mr.. Froude
quickly added: "Ah! naturally thought
You would say Ruskin, who is certainly
a master of descriptive writing at his
best exquisite. Newman, too (and Mat
thew Arnold in a lesser degree), had lu-
cidity and the gift of irony, but lacked
glow and color. To me he is always cold.
Ny own favoritc is Charles Lamb. -
Seeing that l was greatly interested,
he went on to point out the beauties of
Dream Children" and then quoted the
lovely passage in The New Years
Eve" beginning, And you, my mid
night darlings, my Folios. - That, he
said, was the high water mark of modern
English prose, equal to anything of the
seventeenth century, 1.-THE English as
pure and beautiful as that of the liturgy
itself. -
Mr.. Froude was a great admirer Of
Bret Harte. ''Tennessee's Pardner" and
The Luck Of Roaring Camp" he used
TO declare were of the immortals. When
l once said feared that Mr.. Bret Harte
was no longer the fashion, Froude mere
y replied, $50 much the worse for the
fashion" In this appreciation Of the
American story teller, as well as in his
affection for Charles Lamb and his re-
spect for Mr.. Chamberlain, we see that
Froude was no thrall to academic con-
