friends from Kentucky | fear it will
be some time before | can write to
all the dear ones who made my Wis
it so pleasant. On my way home
my stepson, w. H. Kirby, met me
in .Alva and he tells my friends
here that got such big notions
while in Kansas that he had to
buy carriage to bring me home.

Toasted on fried chicken, sliced to-
matoes, fresh honey and iced tea.
From Medicine Lodge went to
Forest City where l spent a few of
the hot July days roaming through
the forests, not in the city but just
across the Medicine river. Then
visited Lake City where l might
battle in the beautiful lakes mot to
be found there and then l basked
for few days in the sunshine of
Sun City. Now l feel like home,
having taken in all the important
cities in Barber county and enjoy
ing a most delightful time at each
place, mingling with friends of
twenty years ago. The only thing
that happened to mar my pleasure
on the entire visit was the sudden
death of Mr.. Hendrickson, a good
and true friend, at whose house
was staying at the time and had
spent SO many pleasant days.
shall never forget now pleasant and
happy he seemed all the time, but
the thought of his death saddens
me and can write no more. The
closing benediction to my Barber
county friends is, "God be with

BATTLE THE TAX CATERERS.
Residents on irish islands Enjoy i'm
munlty from Taxation.

The difficulty Of collecting rates in
a number of islands lying off the coast
of Donegal, Ireland, was discussed at
a recent meeting of the Donegal
county council. 1t was stated that
rates had not been paid in Tory Is
land for the last 20 years, and that
within the past few years the island
ers Of Cole, Inisherer, Inishmair,
Inishbof1n, and others had followed
the example of their Tory brethren
and developed conscientious objec-
ton to rate collectors. 1t was impos-
sible to get boatmen to take out col
lectors to serve demand rates or make
collections, and even summons servers
who had summonses for the island
ers, were refused a passage On one
occasion the collector engaged boat
and succeeded in reaching the first
island before his mission was dis
covered. The boatman then refused
to take him back to the mainland, and
it was only after much promising and
pleading that he was allowed to re-en-
ter the boat. A councilman said that
short OF catching the islanders when
they came to the mainland and strip
ping their clothes off them, he did not
see how they were to be made to pay.
