BOUNDARY LINES,
Mostly Straight In Our Land, Croofcad
and Illogical Abroad.
Most United States boundaries are
straight lines, and tht majority of
' these lines arc due north and 900th or
east and west. Where the Ones are
not straight they are nearly always
• established either by riven or by
mountain ridges. It is very simple to
know where one state ends and an
other begins.
In Europe, on the contrary, nearly
all boundaries are established by
crooked and usually Illogical llnea. The
frontiers wind about like foolish cow
paths. The more Important line* are
, definitely established, for they are too
Important to be left In doubt. But on
some of the dividing lines guessing be
comes a fine art
' The arbitrariness of European bound
aries Is largely a relic of the old un
scientific centuries. But even in this
, highly scientific century, when new
lines are to be laid out they follow
the old meandering custom. After the
Balkan wars the new boundaries were
fixed as they were 500 years ago, whol
ly without regurd to geometry or sim
plicity.
The contrast is a minor Indication of
a fundamental difference The new
world is more businesslike than the
old. It goes more directly to the point.
It does practical things lb a more
practical way. A straight line Is more
1 practical than a curl or an arabesque.
1 And so the United States Is strong for
i straight lines.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Saved by a Dream.
A farmer living at Lapford, England,
dreamed thrice In succession that he
saw a pit Jug In one of his fields and
some of his property cast Into It At
the third time of dreaming he jot up.
■ dressed and went out. He heard the
thud of a spade and caught sight of t
man digging by lantern light The
digger fled at his approach. It was a
grave upon which he had been at work.
By its brink lay a huge knife. Oh his
. way back the fanner met one of hla
maidservants. She had had a quarrel
with the man to whom she had been
engaged, she said, but he had prevailed
upon her to meet him for the last time
at 2 o'clock that morning, when he had
something to show her. "This is what
he had to show you," said the farmer,
leading her to the grave.—London Tat
ler.
Pretty Poor Pilot.
"I wns out with TTmson to hla auto

J "Yes; he bought one secondhand."
"Did you have a good .ids?"
"I nearly lost a year's growth."
I "Speed flend?"
: "No, but he can't guide the thing
straight"
"Poor at the wheel, eh?"
"Poor at the wheel? Why, man alive,
Umsou couldn't steer a street car."—
