MASON AND DlxON'S LINE"
Popular Misapprehenslon as to Mean
Ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid OFF, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, 1t ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle a bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension In its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Gin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled
DR.. John Wyeths recent prophecy
that when the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever Mason and
Dixon's line."-Southern Woman's

DRIVER WAS BUSINESS MAN
Saw More Profit In Hauling Stranded
Automobilist Than In Selling Him
Gasoline.

Mack Sennett was going to the San
Dego fair in his car. About three
O'Clock In the morning, and twenty
miles from nowhere, Mack found that
his supply of gasoline had given out.
Ihere was nothing to do but sit by
the side of the road and wait for some
thing to come along which Mack pro-
ceeded to do. He had waited but a
few minutes when he heard the sound
OF wheels on the road and soon a
wagon was distinguishable in the
dark.
There's ten spot in 1t if you haul
me to town. hailed Mack.
The driver readily consented and
Mack settled down for a three hour
ride. They were drawing into a little
burg when Mack remarked that 1t
was rather early for the driver to be
on the road.
Yes he replied, but / have to
start early to get around to all my
customers"
And as Mack handed him the ten
spot for his work, the man continued:
You see, | peddle gasoline to the
stores in the small towns around
here. '-Photoplay Magazine.

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind
May Be Said TO Have Univer-
sal Desire.

We cannot pick and choose the
happenings OF life any more than we
can select the circumstances of our
birth and death; we are but creatures
of a wonderful destiny directed by
the Almighty. 1t Is said that many
tragedies OF life might be averted II
we took our medicine like men" and
did not put our personal happiness
above everything else. 1t is as nat
ural and to be expected to long for
happiness and cling to 1t as for the
flowers to turn to the sun. Happiness
Is the great lamp Of life which lights
our way through all sorts OF shad-
ows-shadows that blur the vision
and make long nights of our days,
shadows that terrify by their gro
tesque shapes and threatening as
poets, and shadows that bury in their
depths much that we hold most dear.
We are jealous of our happiness and
guard 1t as the most precious thing
in life and when we watch it go down
the long aisles of memory further
and further away from our yearning
eyes we begin to plead for 1t, and
strive for it, and fight for it. We
batter the walks of the past in our
vain efforts to call 1t back before 1t
is too late, and spend long days and
waste precious strength in the futile
endeavor to clutch 1t back to our
hearts. And all the while, perhaps
right at our hands within easy reach,
happiness in a new guise stands ready

Third BattIeship Lost By Italy in
This War
300 LIVES ARE REPORTED LOST
Dispatches Do Not Say Where Loss
Occurred or State the
Cause.

Paris, Sept. 2S.--A dispatch to the
Havas Agency from Brindisi says:
"a fire which was followed by an
explosion has occurred on board the
Italian battleship Brenedetto Brin.
Eight officers and 379 marines have
been saved thus far.
Rear Admiral Rubin de Ceryin is
among the dead.
THE fire was purely accidental:" >"
The Brenedetto Brin is the third
capital ship that Italy has lost since
the country entered the war on May
%, the two others being the Amalfi,
sunk on July 6, and the Giuseppe
Garibaldi, on July 10, both being
victims of Austrian submarines.
The Brin's keel was laid at Castel-
lamare, in the. Bay of Naples. one
year after the death of the famous en-
gineer in whose honor she was named
and she was completed in 1904. Her
displacement was 13,427 tons, her
speed Il IL knots an hour, and her
officers and men numbered 100. Her
principal distinctive feature was that
her heavy gums 12-inch and 4 s.
inch-on central pivot mountings,
could be loaded and discharged at
any elevation through an arc of 80
degrees.
