A CROOKED BOUNDARY.
Cause of the Peculiar Lines That d.
vide Two States.

Cause of the Peculiar Lines That d.
vide Two States.
If you will look on the map of
New England you will see two GU
rious irregularities in the dividing
line between Massachusetts and
Connecticut. One of them is in
CRANKY township, a little north
west,of Hartford, and the other in
Enfield township, on the Connect
cut river, south of Springfield. 1t
is o standing conundrum why, so
long as the boundary is imaginary,
they did not make it straight In
stead of crooked. But thereby
hangs a tale.
Those two little joys on the map
are monuments to human obstinacE,
and to the persistency which is on
of the chief traits of thesYanke
character. The ancestors of til
farmers who own those little spot
of ground preferred to live in Mas
sachusetts rather than in Connect
cut and fought for their preference
until they had their way.
The controversy began In 1713
ard continued for 112 years before
it was finally decided. In 1924 the
question was appealed to England.
but the government was so much
engrossed in the Seven Years wal
that it was neve brought to the at
tertion of the crown. Up to the
outbreak of the Revolution both
states continued to levy taxes and
send notices of fast days and cleo
tions to the farmers who occupied
the land, and there is no record Of
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however
they voted and paid taxes in Massa.

rs there such a thing as platonic
friendship?
A great many people say that
there is not-that it is impossible for
a man. and a woman to be friends
without sentiment creeping in on one
side or the other.
That is nonsense, of course, for
there have been many cases of
friendship between man and woman
where friendship pure and simple
was the only tie between them.
But there is always the risk of one
growing too fond of the other, and
then the friendship is no longer pla-
tonic Ii has developed from mutual
friendship into a one-sided love af-
fair.
a sincere friendship with a man is
an excellent thing for any girl if she
will only keep it in her mind that
what he feels for her is merely
friendship, not love.
Lose Lots of Fun.
II is, | regret to say, usually the
girl who tips the scales in the direc-
ton of sentiment. She is not content
WIN llitlhSlilB Aiblll tue illdlls anu
mistakes his interest for something
deeper.
In this mistake she is encouraged
very often by well-meaning, foolish
friends. who take it for granted that
the man is counting the girl instead
Of merely enjoying her companion
ship.
Girls lose "a good deal of fun by
taking mems attentions too seriously.
\ man can enjoy a girls society
very leenly without being actually in
love with her
Just because he asks her To go to
the theater once in a while or for a
walk does not argue that he means
+ To ask her to marry him. But if he is
a man of honor he is bound to draw
back when he sees that the girl and
her friends look on his attentions as
serious
That is one Of the reasons why
many people declare that platoniC
friendship cannot exist and that il
is "a dangerous experiment
One reason for this mistaken state
of affairs is that often "a girl wilfully
shuts her eyes to the true conditions
In her heart of hearts she knows the
man is not in love with her. but she
wants him to be, So she interprets his
every act to her own satisfaction.
Hold Onto Your Hearts.
\ girl always knows when a man
really cares. He makes no secret OF
his interest. every one is welcome L.
tin fact, he is willing to babble il
to any one who win listen. That is
the blessed thing about being a man;
he doesn't have to spend his life try
ing to hide his feelings.
The umcWOrn excuse of a man be-
ing too bashful TO show his love is
