The Green Bag: 1t became the solemn
dutv of Justice - to pass sentence on an
aged man named George Bliss. for steal

sinner Bliss this is getting to be tribe

ENGLAND'S QUEER VILLAGES.
One Town In Which There Isn't a
Church, Chapel or School House.


Scattered throughout the area Of Great
Britain are numerous towns and villages
ofsa curious character. One large village
actually consists of old railway carriages,
even the little mission chapel being built
ant of four large horse trucks. Another
village with a population of LOO and a
ratable value of 5000. has neither church,
chapel nor school, the only public edihce
being q pillar letter box.
Villages with single inhabitant are
rot unknown. At SlSiGdaw, in Cumber-
and. there is a solitary householder, VINO
cannot vote because there is no overseer
. prepare u voters list. and no church
n other public building on which to pub
.sh one; while the only ratepayer in a
certain rural Northumberland, parish has
recently declined to bear the expense of
repairing . road because he considers II
quite good enough for himself.
In the Isle of Ely there is a little par
ish which has been somewhat contempt
uously described as "a portion of land,
with three or four houses and, perhaps.
twelve inhabitants" This place has no
roads at all. and is consequently puc to
no expense in keeping them in repair AS
matter of fact. there are no expenses
of any kind and no rates.
One of the most remarkable villages in
which is seven miles long. and extremely
struggling. To walk from one end of the
village to the other occupies two hours
Sometimes whole villages will practical
" disappear. A little Shropshire village
has gradually sunk until now it is almost
out of sight. 1t is built on disused coal
pit, and the sinking goes on steadily every
year. Now and then a tottering house is
propped up to keep it standing. but in
spite of all precautions buildings are con-
stantly falling to the ground. and in
course of time doubtless nothing will be
left but a few bricks to mark the spot
where a village once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country A diversion OF
trade into other channels is sometimes
sufficient 10 produce this effect. Not many
years ago the proprietors of an iron
works at townlet near Sheffield. being
unable to obtain certain concessions from
a railway company, removed their works
Shortly afterward half the place was to
let and the windows of many OF the
houses were boarded up.-Iid Bits.

Why in the world didn't you wait

The die is casti Now proudly
Sails forth the squadron grand,
Bent on an errand worthy
OF freedom S stored land.
High on the masthead fiutters
The flag whose colorS best
To wondrous deeds of valor
Infiame the patriots breast.
The longed for signal. Onward"
Halls now with joyful thrill
A giant nation. conscious
OF duty to fulfill:
While those brave tars the watchword
Take up with hearts aglow,
In righteous battle eager
To meet the murd' rous foe.
God speed those knights of freedom,
Whose mighty blows are hurrd
Against the hosts of darkness
Yet lingering on our world
That exploit grand, from bondage
A people TO redeem,
Shall live in future legend,
The bard's exalted theme.
There. in each deed of glory,
Shall art. through endless time,
Find fruitful inspiration
For canvases sublime.
The while their proud achievements
In Gods own holy cause.
Rehearsed in deathless pages,
Shall win the worlds applause.
What If their fateful missiles
Boom cut the cannon loud
What if the smoke OF battle
The startled world oslshroudi
Out of that fearful havoc,
Out of the shades of night,
Shall riSa the smiling angel
OF justice. peace and right

Terrible Castigation Given a Bishop
BY Victor Hugo.

In ''victor Hugos Correspondence,
Just published in Paris is this letter to
a bishop. Monseigneur de Segur, whom
he addressed as Monsieur: L was not
aware of your existence. Today
learn that you exist, and even that you
are bishop, 1 believe it. You have had
the kindness to write the following
lines about me: Victor Hugo, the
great. the austere Victor Hugo, the
magnificent poet of democracy and OF
the universal republic, is equally poor
man afflicted with more than 100000
iivres a year italicized in the text;
some even say five. His infamous book

ing of the largess his vast humanita-
rian chart naturally obliges him TO
make to his beloved class, the laborers.
They say he is avaricious, as selfish as
he is vain glorious
IT will not waste time in assuring you
that in the ten lines quoted above there
are as many lies as there are words l
will content myself with touching on
the literary appreciation of Les Mis-

who has wit as well as mildness, and
who mingles with his blessings every
virtue. This is why Les Miserables' is
an Infamous book. Whence We must
conclude that it would be an admir-
able book if the bishop was man or

and vulgar writer-a coarse scribe or
the basest kind, peddler OF police cal
