II. V. NJ. writes that he is interest
ed in learning something of the Qulrk
family. Of the Isle OF Man. LAS near as
I can tell" he says. the family orig
mated either in Scotland or England.
The family names are James, Robert
and Arthur. Some of the latter mem
bers OF the family came to America
about 1880 or 1910. The earlier mem
bers of the family were seafaring peo-
pie, one Of whom was a captain Of
Spanish vessel and in the employ of
the Spanish government in the early
colonization OF Texas"
From personal experience I know
Quirk or Quirke to be a usual family
name in the Isle of Man, where my
own famlly-that of Cowles-also
originated. However, the records seem
TO show an Irish origin for Quirk rath-
err than English or Scotch The Irish
form Of the name is OCuirce or Mac
Quirke-families OF this name having
been an ancient sept of Munster. The
story goes that Brian, the 175th mon
arch of Ireland, had several brothers.
one Of whom was Mahoun, king OF
Munster. and one of whom was An
Ian, ancestor of all the Quirks.

Mrs. L. H. B. writes for information
about the family name Birthisel As
there is no record of this name either

at the old Crows Nest, which was a
sort Of Grow Village between four
trees quite far off from the Corn Field.
On their way through they had seen
Scare Crow in the Corn Field and
then knew what the Crows had been
doing.
'Caw-Caw,' said the Crows to-
gether, and the Brownies threw their
high brown hats up in the air, and
said: Hello, Crows, were glad to see
you. We hope you're Well
"'That's the very word for the way
we feel, said Black Crown Crow, who
was the leader in the Crow Village.
Shall we be off? We have an air boat
| for the Brownies made of Corn Silk
"That doesn't sound very strong,
said one rather timid little Brownie.
"'Oh, it's got birch bark underneath
so you won't fall through said Black
| Crown Crow-'but we only must speak
about the Corn Silk because it's so SUI
perior to have Corn Silk Air Boat.
| 1t sounds so absurd and beautiful !!
And Black Crown Crow 'Caw-Cawed
in Impotence.
"'Come along, come along he cried.
and with all the other Crows shrieking
'Caw-Caw,' and the Brownies shouting,
'Hurrah, hurrah,' very gay party
started off for the Corn Field.
"'Where are we goingY asked one
of the Brownies teazingly, for they
had been going around and around In
circles and hadn't reached any place.
"I don't quite know said Black
Crown Crow, it's a question which IL
very hard to decide
"'But we thought you had chosen
a special spot, said one of the Brown
les.
"Black Crown Crow looked very sad

The Board of Assessment and
Valuation at Frankfort has raised
the stock and surplus of banks in
Kentucky from a valuation of
eighty per cent. to the full value
of one hundred per cent. All
other property is supposed to be
assessed at eighty per cent. of its
value. In the Blue Grass coun-
try this valuation has possibly
been reached, but in the noun.
tains where there are thousands of
acres Of rich mineral lands. it is
said that valuation is not twenty
per cent. of the real value. There
seems TO be a disposition on the
part of the State Board t. antag-
Onize ana place heavier burden
upon the railroads and banks
than are bore by the taxpayers.
1t should be borne in mind that
bank stock is largely owned by
widows and older people who
have prepared for a safe incorle,
although frequently small. The
burden of overtaxation means less
dividends to the stockholders, and
the stock only IN a small measure
is held by the officers of the bank.
There certainly ought to be some
change in the taxation laws: In
accord withithe present plans, the
taxes finally fall upon those least
able TO pay.
But as long as the question of
perfecting a correct system of
taxation is lett in the hands of the
Lair Drained politicians, there
can be no hope for any relief.
