stocking darning is a lost or an aban'

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
II.-PENNSYLVANIA
@IAIE THE second
MNA | state to
III 81 80 Is Eg stitution was
w AE r1%R ISL z ennsylvania.
&&S3BEA Its area of
&S5% 1926 square
~ miles is larger
than the combined New Eng
land states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown in for good
measure. Its name means
"Penn's Woodland" and was so
named by King Charles II, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemoration of
PENIS father, who had been a
distinguished admiral and on
terms of peculiar friendship and
intimacy with the royal family.
This grant was made in lieu of
10000, which the king owed Ad-
miral Penn. On this basis it
originally cost about 81 a square
mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that it is often called
the Keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
because her name was carved
on the keystone of the bridge
over Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later On
it was applied OF account of the
great Importance of the state in
national elections. Its delega-
ton to congress totals 80, sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and Pennsylvania
accordingly has SO presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1852. The follow
ing year he laid out the city of
Philadelphia, or "BrOtherly
Love-" which was named after
a biblical city in Asia Minor. As
Pennsylvania vas the only col
ony without a seacoast, Penn
obtained from the duke of York
the control of Delaware, and I'M
til the Revolution these two
provinces were under the same
proprietary government. Quar-
rels with Maryland over bound
aries caused a formal survey
to be made by two surveyors,
Mason and Dixon, and it was
this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason
and Dixon line, the dividing
mark between the slave and the
free states.
