Delaware's Northern Boundary.
Why the northern boundary of Dela

Is often a source of wonderment It
came about In this way: After William
Penn had obtained a grant of Pennsyl
vania he was desirous of owning the
land on the west bank of the Delaworo
to the sea. He procured from the Duke
of York In 10S2 a release of all his ti
tle and claim to New Castle and twelve
miles around It and to the land be
tween this tract and the sea. A line
that was the are of a circle of a twelve
mile radius was then run, with New
Castle as a center. When the three
"lower counties" on the Delaware be
came a state they retained this boun
dary.—Chicago Journal.

face. Now, sir, kindly tell us what you
did on that occasion."
The witness hesitated and looked con

of cruelty. But their hopes were shat
tered when he finally blurted out:
"I sneezed!"—Everybody's.
