The stories told of the comic opera
afaales of Uaytl and Han to Domingo
at noetly true. An Englishman had
aoen tract to supply coal to the steam
a which called at the port of Santo
B)omlngo City. Three or four hundred
Oemlnleans worked for blm, carrying
Aa coal on their beads In baskets
'torn the wharf to the steamers. For
this work they were paid 25 cents n
lay. One day one of them nsked for
i holiday, saying he had to aitend a
."view of the troops.
Tou are one of the soldier, tlicn?"
aked the Englishman.
"No, senor," the half-naked mulatto
-eplled. "I am a general, and 1 have
a lead my brigade at the review."
The navies of llayti and Santo bo

urmics. The writer was once invited
.board the Haytlan flagship Cietoa

The foreign residents of Pori-nu-rlnee
tell a story of 11 ay id's jrrcai
it naval engagement. It happened
veral years ago, before the buildiug
the Cretea-PIerrot. Ilaytl's navy
ion consisted of three leaky, rusty
d tramp steamers, armed with a f-w
iclent cannon, which were far mm-e
mgerous to the gunners than to tiie
iemy.
Germany, having dunned Uaytl in
-tin for an indemnity owing on ac
uat of outrages committed on Ger-
an subjects during a revolution, at
.st sent a squadron of three ships to
illect the money. The Geraaan com-10-dore
delivered his ultimatum. "You
ust pay the money before noon," he
ili. "or I shall take your ships."
The President and his Cabinet were
aant. They felt sure that their
-ava admiral and his sailors could
anqulsh the enemy with horrible
-aughter.
Punctually at noon the shores of
le harlKir were lined with people
jltlng to see the glorious victory.
. reaently they saw the German ships
.'.uttlng out to sea, chased by the In
inclble armada of Uaytl. Patriotic
athuslasm waa at boiling point. Rut
hat was this? The gallant admiral
..id his heroic men were observed
amplng over the sides of their
alps Into the sea and swimming to
.ird shore. A glance through .'!
eiesoope revealed the horrid truth.
;'lie Haytlan vessels were not pursu

When the admiral landed, with his
ne plumage bedraggled and spoiled,

Survey of Mason and Dixon's
Line Lately Completed.
THE ORIGINAL MARKERS.
The Work When Flrat Done Extended
Over the Period of 8lxteen Years,
from 1763 to 1779 Much Trouble
Was Encountered with the Indi
ana. Mason and Dixon's line has just
been surveyed for the first time since
the scientists whose names It com
memorates traced It, 140 years ago.
The work now completed was done
under the direction of a Joint com
mission representing Pennsylvania
and Maryland. This line, which be
came historic ns the division between
the slave States and the free States,
was originally marked by stones or
other designations placed one mile
apart. But In the course of time
many of the markers disappeared, and
disputes as to local boundaries arose.
Pennsylvania and Maryland each ap
propriated 15,000 for n new survey of
the line, nnd work was begun In April.
1901. W. O. Hodgklns, of the Pnlted
States Coast and Geodetic Survey, be
ing In charge of the corps of engi
neers. As was the case with most of the
land grants made by the British
crown In the aeventeenth century,
William Penn and Lord Baltimore
found that their respective provinces
of Pennsylvania and Maryland appar
ently overlapped each other. For fifty
years much lawlessness prevailed
alone the border because of the
boundary disputes, and the settlers
did not know to whom they owed al
legiance. Finally, In 1700, the pro
prietaries of the two provinces em
ployed Charles Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon, two celebrated astronomers of
London, to fix the boundary line. They
began work In 1763. In June, 17A6.
when the party bad reached the top
of the Little Alleghany Mountains, 100
miles from the starting point, the In
dians assumed a threatening attitude.
Although the surveyors seemed to be
peaceable, the red men could not un
derstand why the palefaces should
cut this road through the forest, or
why some of them spent much of the
night In gazing at the stars through
brass cylinders. Finally the Indians
forbade further progress. Then at a
cost of .VX a council of the Six Na
tions was convened In New York, In
June, 1707, and permission was se
cured to continue the work. Tbe coun
cil sent a party of braves to art as
eJtort to Mason and Dixon, nnd the
survey was resumed; but in Septem
ber, when the Monougahela was
reached, the Indians again grew rest
less, and Mason and Dixon were
obliged to abandon their task twenty
four miles from their gonl. In 177!t
other engineers completed that part of
the line between Pennsylvania nnd
what was then Virginia, but is now
West Virginia.
Mason and Dixon were both .elect
ed members of the American Philoso
phical Society. They returned to Eng
land, and later were sent to the Capo
of Good Hope to observe the transit
of Venus. Dixon died In F.ngland in
1777, but Mason came to Philadelphia,
where he died In 17S7.
It Is the portion of Mason and
Dixon's line that extends as far ns the
western limits of Maryland, which
has Just been resurveyed. Some of
the original boundary stones were
found to be still In place. They had
been chiseled In England from lime
atone, and weigh 500 pounds each,
being four and one-half feet high and
one foot square. On one side la the
letter "P," and on the other the let
ter "M." Every -Ufth stone bore the
coat-of-arms of the two proprietaries.
Mr. Ilodgkln's men endeavored to
trace the stonea that were missing,
and succeeded In recovering a large
number. Borne were doing duty as
doorsteps, some were in bake-ovene,
one served as a curbstone In Clear
sprng. Md.. and two had been used in
building a church along the national
pike. - The old markers in many In
stances bora curious inscriptions,
some carred by soldiers of the Federal
and Confederate armies during the
campaigns of the civil war. Every
one of these stones that could be se
cured was placed In position on the
boundary line. If broken, the pieces
were clamped together. The stones
were set In a bed of concrete, to guard
against future removal. I
In a few localities a half dozen or
more of these stones were found In
proximity. This leads to the belief
that possibly they were not put to ac
tual use as boundary markers. It Is
known that the full number of stones
required by Mason and Dixon waR Im
ported, but in conveying thera west
ward through the forests, so many
difficulties were encountered, it is sup
posed, that a portion of the consign
ment was abandoned along the road;
nnd In the course of years settlers
found these stones useful for a variety
of purposes other than that for which
they were intended. This theory Is
substantiated by the fact that the
western part of Mason nnd Dixon's
line was found to be marked princi
pally by mounds or wooden posts, few
Stones being discovered.
During the survey many interesting;
stories came to light In connection
with Maon and Dixon's line, lu
Ilartford County, Maryland, where
one of the stones was found to bo
broken, it is generally believed by the
people that the stone was suddenly
severed on the day when Boutb Caro
lina seceded from the Union.
WOMAN'S SENSE OP HONOR.
Dr. Van Dyke Says Collective Life
la Needed to Develop It.
There Is one good result which I
firmly believe girls are going to get
out of their collective life, and that Is
a fuller development of the sense of
honor. This Is a delicate subject.
Every one knows that women are
generally better thnn men. Their
standards of purity and temperance
and reverence and kindness and solf
sacrifice are higher, and they are more
in enmest about living up to them.
But one thing Is lacking a clearer
conception and a stronger sense of
that tine flower of fair dealing which
Is called honor.
Women are Inclined (remember, I
am speaking collectively, and with
full exceptions) to think somewhat
lightly of obligations which rest mere
ly upon a tacit understanding and
mutual confidence. They are not
trained to a state of things In which
a nod of the bead amounts to a bind
ing contract, and a gesture of the
hand Is a promise to pay pood money.
They have so long enjoyed the privi
lege of changing their minds that
they regard It as a reserved right,
only surrendered when they have ac
tually signed a document. Within the
limits of the law they will do their
best to jret out of things that they
do not like. It Is not easy for them
to see why they should not take an
advantage when It Is for their Inter
est to do so. They have a tendency
to regard the states of love and war
aa perpetual and universal, and to
deal with their rivals and their ene
mies according to the old maxim
which says that everything is fair un
der those conditions.
College life sometimes develops a
peculiar form of self-importance
which cannot be regarded as agree
able or useful either In its masculine
or in Its femine form. It may be
called the academic vanity; and It
comes from mistaking the little world
of college for the big world to which
It Is only one of the vestibules. Yon
will see, every now and then, a young
person who has made this mistake;
a collegian, whose college spirit Is a
form of self-complacency, and who
exercises a bland contempt or a pain
ful condescension toward all outsid
ers; a prize-winner or a class idol
whose successes have resulted in a
visible enlargement of the cranial cir
cumference. Girls as well as men
are subject to the attacks of this bacil
lus of the big head. The mcgacep
halous microbe Is less frequent smong
girls than among men, and Its effects
are likely to be of shorter duration.
They seldom last more than two or
three years after graduation. As a
rule, I think that you will llnd that
girls who have had the benefit of the
collective life are characterized by a
certain straitihtforwardnesa and level
headedness which make thera easy to
get on with. Supercilious airs and
self-complacent assumptions are
more rare among them than among
the girls whose experience of life has
been confined to the mirror-lined
apartments of a luxurious home and
the echoing solitudes of what Is called
soclety."-I.r. Henry van Dyke.

Mnoh Oandy Poisonous
Startling Discoveries Hav Been Mad
Food Comissioner Warren has an
nounced that his agents have ob

candy and cake is being sold He
said that his attention was called to
the matter by parents who had boeu.
ad vised by physicians that the
stomach ailments from which their
children were suffering was due to
their having eaten doctoral candy
and cake, and a chemical analysis of
samples had disclosed that mineral

Tbe Potato Orop.
Th'.- (11 cry of a short potato crop
is out a.nain, and the people are ap
prehensive that that much needed
article of food will be scarce and
dear this winter. There is no doubt
but the early crop will not come up
to the expectation of the grower,
tor the dry season of the past mouth
or two has retarded the yield. A
prominent farmer of one of the near
by valleys, says that there should
be no alarm regarding the crop in
general, for they all expected a fair
yield of late potatoes owing to the
rains of the last week or two, and
as that is the crop which every per
son stows away in the cellar for the
winter there is no need of being
afraid as to the supply and quality.
Writer of Anonymous Letters.
There is no meaner type in the
human species than the writer of
anonymous letters. He is a sneak
and ft coward by instinct, and a low,
despicable, lawless cur in society
and bubiness. For real or fancied
grievances he attacks people, like
the thief and the incendiary, under
cover of darkness. He does not
scruple to ruin a home,, to injure
the business reputation oi a com
petitor or blackeu the reputation of
an innocent girl, if he can gain a
personal advantage, or eratifv bis
vindictive nature. When the law
catches him, as it often does, it has
1 ss respect for him than auy other
class of criminals.
