England has another war on her
hands. She is making preparations to
feconquer the Is md whose inhabitants
have q King Of their own and who re-
fuse to pay tribute to King Edward.
By q strange popularity Of fate 1t is
known as Tory Island. 1t is a bleak.
desolate strip Of land nine miles from
the storm-swept northwest coast Of
Ireland. and contains q population OF
about 500. who have their own Ian
guage. their own Government and
their own costumes, as well as their
own King.
Being in their own opinion a free
and independent people. they refuse to
pay taxes to England or rent to the
landlord. In fact. they have paid
neither rent nor taxes for half a cen.
tuTy. That Is why England detailed
q gunboat to visit the island and help
q regiment Of Irish constabulary evict
the obstinate inhabitants.
It viii not be the first time that IN
expedition has been sent against the
Tory Islanders. Seventeen years ago
England decided that separate Gov
eminent on Tory Island could not be
tolerated, and the sunboat Wasp was
sent to uphold the majesty Of the
Crown. But the Wasp was wrecked
On the trcacherous southwest coast.
and all her crew were drowned. Tory
Islanders regarded the disaster as an
Intervention Of Providence. and gave
thanks accordingly to their patron
saint, st. Columbia.
The King Of Tory Island Is a be-
whiskered, unconventional individual.
and very prehistoric. but he has re-
sisted the British Empire successfully
for many years. and his people have a
fne disregard for everything English.
The present King Is 4 giant in size.
His name Is Mclaughlin. So strong
20 King Mclaughlin that he can XII
an OK with his fist. according to popu-
lar report.
The Tory islanders are chiefly fisher
men. A Sligo steamer calls once a
week to bear away their catch. There
no cats and no rats on Tory Island.
Nor are there any policemen or pawn
shops. But the Islanders have pub
lie house. or hotel.
According to tradition. the island was
once inhabited by race Of giants.
One Of the giants erected tower on
the island. which stands to-day In
fair state Of preservation. 1t Is built
Of undressed powders. with walls four
feet thick Mt the base.
Tourists seldom visit Tory. Island ow-
ing to the unconventional actions Of the
natives. The latter resent intrusion
from the outsi6" word. A favorite
trick Of the fishermen is to run along
side a steamer or sailing v:sse! and
ask the lookout to heave them rope.
When a rope Is thrown the fisherman
hauls in as m:ch Of 1t as he can and
then cuts the line. In this was the
fishing feet is kept supplied with rope
at minimum cost! The Tory Island
ers are evidently healthy race. for
there IL no doctor on the island.

Cod has been wrestling with you pa.

around you and still you have not known
Him. He has wounded you-He has had to
wound you-because YOU struggled against
Him. Can you not now see that it is He!
And is it not idle to resist Him: Oh, If
men Only knew that God is not their en-:
eray, but tEeir best friend! If instead of
holding Him off or trying to break away
from His embrace, they would cling to
Him, as Jacob did. exclaiming: Il will not
let Thee go, except Thou bless me-; As
soon as that prayer is offered the blessing
comes and the morning breaks, There
would have been no need OF the long
struggle il the soul had only yielded sooner
to Him whose one supreme desire Is to
bless and save it..-Edward b. Coe, ID. d.
