Liberty Above All.

Victor Hugo was welded to liberty
from his cradle. His father was a
soldier of the First French Republic,
and it was another old soldier In the
same ranks who was to give the son
that watchword which was on his lips
so constantly through life. This was
Laborie, who, in 1904, was implicat-
ed in Moreau's conspiracy against
Bonaparte. On the discovery OF the
plot, he was prescribed, a price was
set upon his head, and it was the elder
Hugo who gave him shelter. During
this period of concealment, Lahore,
while talking with some generals who
had sworn not to betray him, turn
ed to the child Victor, and said, "Re-
member-liberty above ALL" Who can
doubt that the sentence exercised a
determining influence on the life OF the
boy?
Victor Hugo says, speaking of him
selfin the third person, The man who
to-day publishes this collection
Deeds and Words and who throws
open the door of his life to his contem
poraries in these volumes, has passed
through many errors. He has suffer
ed from the consequences OF complex
and solitary education given him by q

triot was always strong within him

Through London by Canal.

Benz. Ellis Martin, in Harpers Magazine.
When a certain famous financier from
San Francisco visited London a few
wears ago he was called on the morn
ing after his arrival by his English cor
respondent, who, finding him character
istically anxious to plunge at once in
to the business for which he had come,
proposed to start for "the city" "The
city," exclaimed our magnate; why,
what do YOU call this place In? l
was two or three hours riding gthrough
what l should call city last night be-
fore | reached this hotel. =" But the
placid and precise Englishman went
on, statistically, to explain that
"the CITY" was still a long dis
tance away; that they could go there
inside a cab or outside bus; by boat
down the river underground, beneath
the houses, by rail; or by rail "A above the
roofs, through the borough-all to the

and native vehemence, OF the San Fran.

the Pacific slope language would nave
been unduly taxed had he been told
that he might pass from end to end OF
London on a canal; and / am sure his
visitor. as well as most Londoners,
would have felt equal surprise.
Yet it is true; an unheeded and al
most unknown river runs through the
heart of London, holdingits quiet, un'
troubled course, while the busy city

yond it. It is not so many years
since pleasure boats piled uponit; and
even now chartered to commerce as 1t
is, q trip along its length is a delight
and a surprise, not only to the Lon
doner, who may not be adverse to the
novel form of amusement to be found
in learning something OF his own town
but even to the alien prowler by pro-
fession, who prides himself on thor
oughly knowing his beloved proving
place.
The Regents Canal is the last link
in the great canal chain OF England.
By it the Mersey is married TO the
Thames, and shakes hands with the
Humber; it connects the whole great
scheme of inland navigation with Lon
don and the sea. The Grand juno
tion Canal, through which flows all the
traffic of the canals of the North, OF
the midland counties and the West,
Joins the Thames at Brentford, and,
entering it here, we may pass around
and through London, and come again
into the Thames at Limehouse. The
Regents Canal proper reaches from
Paddington to Limehouse, distance
of eight and one-half miles, i'll which
distance there are forty bridges or
more, and twelve locks, at short in
tervals, to enable it to make the de-
scent OF eighty-four feet. There are
many basins and docks, some deep
cuttings, and to pass through the
great ridge at Islington it was neces-
sary to cut tunnel, straight and
deep. The cana. has a mean depth OF
about six feet, is thirty-feet in width
at the bottom and forty-eight feet at
the surface, to allow three full-sized
barges to pass comfortably, these
barges being thirteen to fourteen feet
wide, and from sixty-five to seventy feet
long. The whole inland navigation OF
the country once stopped at Padding
ton. This Canal, continuing the wa
accommodation of the interior ofthe
Thames and its docks at Limehouse,
was begun October IA, 1912, and
finally opened for traffic August |
1920. 1t received its name from "tht
first gentleman in Europe" as he was
then regarded by asubservient nation
There were fine doings at its forma
opening; an aquatic procession o
boats and barges Haunting Will
streamers-fags flying everywhere.

were on a tract of land belonging to
Mr.. McGreen known as the slough
lookingfor q SOW and litter ofyoung
nics that had not been seen for several
davs. While walking over theground,
which was of a damp, boggy nature,
Barmer suddenly sank to his waist.
Mr.. McGreen was carrying an ak with
which he cut good sized sapllng, and
nassing one end of it to Barmer he
succeeded in pulling him out ofthe hole;
AS Banners feet emerged from the mud
there was found hanging to the lower
hem of one OF his pantaloon legs n
large sized rattlesnake, his shakeshlp
had his fangs firmly hooked IN the
heavy leans and was cut in pieces be-
fore he could let 90 his hold. Another
snake reared his head from the aper-
ture and was killed. The two men
then investigated the den, and found
and killed thirty-seven snakes. And
strangers still, some twenty feet from
the snake nest, and in the same hol
low. were found the sow and all the
pips but two. They hadfallen through
the thin crust of ground covering the
aperture, and were unable to get Out
