London. ? Although several anti
quarians have presented evidence
in London papers giving the Ameri
can colonies a clean bill of health
in regard to repeated accusations
that alleged witches were once actu
ally burned there, a mooted ques
tion still remains and its discussion
has mounted to fever attitude: What
part of the United Kingdom was
most culpable in this respect, Eng
land, Wales, Ireland or Scotland?
Scientific opinion is making out a
good case for Scotland, with a rec
ord of 4,000 executions, although one
writer declares that strangulation
(worryit), and not fire, was used as
a means of exit at the stake. An
other writer, however, while admit
ting that strangulation was some
times used, declares that the stake
with fire was a much more popular
form of execution, and he writes:
"Rev. Dr. Lauchlan MacLean
Watt, Glasgow, tells that in 1658 a
warlock, duly condemned, was 'wor
ryit' (strangled) at the stake on the
Castlehill of Edinburgh. But in that

same year four women were burned
to death in the same place, all con
fessing their covenant with hell,
while presently nine witches from
Tranent all went the same way,
with confessions in their mouths.
School Master Done to Death.
"Then there was the noted case of
Dr. Fian, school master. Saltpans,
1591, who was first strangled, then
'put into a great Are' and burned on
the Castlehill of Edinburgh.
"Or we may take what is known
as the wittiest representation of a
witch trial in the English language
? the sketch, 'The Devil to Pay' in
the 'Table Talk of Shirley,' by Skel
ton. There the minister of Cudie
stane declared that the witch on tri
al had no title to be burned alive.
She was not, he said, a first-class
witch. She must be 'worryit' first.
But even there, out of ten old wom
en, although two were strangled,
eight were burned to death.
"From the official records ? and
many are available ? it is clear that
of the 4,000 so-called witches burned
in Scotland only a fraction under
went the minor horrible death by
strangulation before the burning at
the strfke.
"But I shall confine myself to the
case of Aberdeen, a dreadful exam
ple, where the records are clear
and full, and where, in 1596-97 alone,
22 women and 1 man were burned to
death. Says Kennedy, the annalist:
'They were, of course, condemned
to the flames, and in order to make
a due impression on the minds of
the people their sufferings took
place at short intervals at the Cas
tlehill.'
Last Execution la 1722.
"These shocking occurrences
went on in Aberdeen well into the
Seventeenth century, although the
last person to be tried by a lord of
justiciary was brought up at Dum
fries Circuit court as late as 1709
and the very last person to under
go trial for witchcraft in Scotland
was an old woman who was brought
before the deputy sheriff of Suther
land and condemned, at Dornoch,
in 1722.
"Not everybody in Scotland was
pleased by the cessation of witch
burning, and the repeal of the stat
ute of King James authorizing the
same, 1735.
"In 1743 the Assocate Presbytery
of Scotland ? the noted Erskine Se
ceders from the Church of Scotland
? declared that 'the penal statutes
against witches have been repealed
by Parliament contrary to the ex
press law of God' ; and more singu
lar still, even in 1815 Rev. James
Paterson, M. A., minister of the
Associate Congregation of the up
land parish of Midmar, Aberdeen
shire, felt it necessary to issue a
pamphlet, "A Belief in Witchcraft
Unsupported by Scripture.' It was
printed by Chalmers, of The (still
existing) Aberdeen Journal, a
strange production, very rare, but
an item in the local collection of
this library."

COURTESY
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
The tourist motoring in Ohio will
have his attention frequently di
rected to a sign
attached to the
rear of a large
truck and bearing
this inscription:
"Blow your horn
? the road is
yours." The truck
is owned by one
of the large
oil companies in
Ohio, and the
driver has been
instructed to turn
to the right the
moment he hears
the horn ol an ap
proaching car. "The road is yours."
One seldom sees a finer expression
of courtesy. - Courtesy seems sadly
lacking on many of the highways we
travel. A driver will frequently park
in a position that leaves little or no
room for the car in the front or the
rear to move out. "Just so I have

room" is the common practice. Con
sideration for the safety of the pub
lic is of lit .le concern, so long as
one keeps within the law. Scores
of automobile accidents can be at
tributed to lack of courtesy ? which
is simply a lack of respectful con
sideration of others. More courtesy
on our highways will mean less ac
cidents. "Be courteous" is a good
motto to hang on the dash board of
every car.
Courtesy may express itself in
respectful consideration of others,
no matter what the surroundings
may be. In one large store in a
prosperous section of a certain city
the men remove their hats in the
elevator when ladies are present.
In another store less favorably lo
cated in the same city, the removal
of hats is tabooed. Why this dis
crimination? Is not a lady always
a lady regardless of the particular
elevator in which she rides? The
principle of courtesy should hold
true and prompt a man to rise
when a lady enters the room,
whether the room be palatial
or humble. Is courtesy dependent
upon prosperity or poverty for its
expression?
How much of the courtesy in our
daily contacts is real; how nuch
is artificial and conventional? The
answer to this question reveals both
true and false courtesy in nations
as well as in individuals. Courtesy
between nations is of paramount
importance in producing mutual un
derstanding and good will. Its nat
ural use expresses a hopeful es
teem for others and a fundamental
regard for the opinions of others.
Courtesy is the conscience of diplo
macy and the covenant of per
petual peace. The gift of the Sta
tue of Liberty by France was an
act of sublime courtesy. The same
element was entirely forsaken when
nations fought with nations in the
last gnat war. Let us have more
of the kindly spirit of courtesy in
our international relationships.
Covtesy Is not dependent upon
education or inherited culture. It Is

Loghouse Quilting Fashions This Cherished Coverlet
HP HE name American patchwork
^ was given by the English to a
certain type of piece patchwork evi
dently originated on this continent.
It is a name unfamiliar to most
Americans, although credit for the
beautiful work is given to the wom
en in the United States and Canada.
American patchwork found its way
from this continent to England in
the latter quarter of the last cen
tury, somewhere about 1875 or 1880.
In Great Britain it was attributed
equally to the United States and
Canada, both countries being in
America, and there being an un
certainty about just which section
was responsible for the distinctive
patchwork.
The name of loghouse quilting was
given the design abroad. It has an
odd sound to us for log homes are
termed log cabins in America. Here
the pattern has been known through
the century as the log cabin pattern,
but the name loghouse quilting has a
fascinating ring to it. The patch
work was, and is, one of the hand
somest types of all. Its special fea
ture was its use of ribbons for
patches and also silk and satin (and
sometimes velvet) cut into strips of
ribbon widths.
The strips are positioned in ever
widening rows about a small square
of one of the materials. In each
row strips overlap one another.
Ends are straight, that is they are
not dovetailed or mitered. The rib
bon-like strips can be sewed to a
foundation square or be seamed to
gether. In the old work the rib
bons were sewed to a foundation,
with a square of silk sewed on the
exact center of the foundation
square. After this the rows were
personality. "Every inch a gentle
man." A fine compliment earned not
at a cost of money but by a persist
ent attitude of mind that listens
when another speaks and remains
calm when that speech is not the
echo of his own mind. Courtesy is
something more than an expression
of conventional good manners. It is
the outward expression of the soul
within. The fruit of loyal nature and
the gift of noble mind.

The method of arrangement of
colors is definite. One diagonal half
of a square is of dark colored
pieces, the other of light ones. When
squares are sewed together dark
comes against dark and light
against light, producing a fascinat
ing sequence of ever widening
