WEI >X ES DA V, MARCH :?>, 1021, 1 The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE II.--PENNSYLVANIA THE second state to adopt tho Con stitution was P ennsylvanln. Its area of 40,120 square miles is larger than the combined Now Eng land states, except Maine, with Now Jersey thrown lu for good measure. Its name means "Penn's Woodland" aud was so named by King Charles II, who grunted this territory to the Q u a k e r, William Penn, and named lt In commemoration of Penn's father, who had been a distinguished admiral aud on terms of peculiar friendship and Intimacy with the royal family. This grant was made in lieu of ?10,000, which the klug owed Ad miral Penn. On this basis lt originally cost about (2 a square mlle. Pennsylvania has assumed such an Important place among the states that lt 1B often called the Keystone state. This term was probably derived originally because her name was carved on thc keystone of the bridge over Rock creek, between Wash ington and Georgetown. Later on lt was applied on account of the great Importance of the state in national elections. Its delega tion to congress totals 38, sec ond only In size to that from New York, and Pennsylvania accordingly has 38 presidential electors. "? Winiam Penn first came over to America In 1682. 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 waa the only col ony without a seacoast, Penn obtained from the duke of York the control of Delaware, and un til the Revolution these two provinces were under tho same proprietary government. Quar rels with Maryland over bound aries caused a formal survey to be made by two surveyors, Mason and Dixon, and lt was this which became famous dur ing the Civil war as the Muson and Dixon lino, the dividing mark between the slave and the free states.
