GA little item which met in a news
paper some time ago, set me to wo'k
at geographical exercise, which re-
srlted in an astonishing showing. The
item referred to is a follows: "Penu-
sylvania receives an annual income OF
$40, 000, 900 from the mineral wealth,
but she spends it all and $1,000, 900 be-
sides for her annual liquor BILL" A sill

boundary begins, then eastward 220

100000 silver dollars laid down.
