CROCKER IN "BONNT SCOTLAND’’ TELLS OF INTERESTING PEOPLE AND PLACES SEEN. Visits thp Church of John Knox, St. Andrews Market and King David’s Place—Plays Golf. Crail, Scotland, Aug. 15.—I feel I ought to give you another line from this old country, though the sea is oalling and fr sh cool breezes are blowing and inviting walks along country roads are waiting, and one feels it is almost a sin to get out paper and typewriter and sit down to the composition of a letter. We have been living here on th shore of the German ocean, near the East Neuk j (corner) of Fife, in a place where | there are no mosquitoes and very few “beasties" of anv objectionable kind, with such cool weathe- that we have to wear winter clothes all the time. It is no uncommon sight to se f> people with overcoats on in the day time, and with beautiful green fields of wheat and oats standing in the middle of the month of August—a land of health and ruddy men and women, “bonny Scotland, land o' breezes!" There are many picturesque “old boys” about here, f-isky as voting men. Why, I met an old fellow this morning on my way with little Mag gie down to the sea side. He had a bell in his hand ami seemed to want to make a confident of me. He said, “They canna do without me yet,” and then he went on to tell me some of his grievances. There is a certain corner where the old “boys” eather to “get a crack” with each other— retired sea captains, old sailors and fishermen. Every school boy and girl in America knows Scotland and her ways, but it is very interesting to get among them and see them as they are at home. The “minister” Is a very much respected individual in this country, and he lives in a “manse,” or what we sometimes call a parsonage in America. There are three Presbyterian churches in this little town of about one thousand, and their “ministers” all wear the cler ical coat and the black gown in the pulpit. When the time comes to preach, the sexton, or whatever he is calledpaarches up ahead of the "min-, ister” with the Wfc Wble and places it reverently on the pulpit stand, and he stands at attention while the min ister. with solemn countenance and long black gown, passes up to his place A well-dressed audience sits to hear the sermon, and after It is over everybody at once, without a handshake or social recognition of any kind, marches back home in a direct line. I went one Sunday to the old church where Johp Knox used to preach. Somebody said of the Scotch man that “he keeps the Sabbath—and everything else he can get his hands on.” Certainly the Scotchman knows how to get and to hold on to the “siller” as well as anybody. I went yesterday to St. Andrews annual market, and a friend took me around to see the sights of the place. It is an old university town and was the scene of Scotland’s most stirring his tory. He took me to an old roofless church, and pointed out to me that that was the “Cradle of Scotland's Reformation.” There John Knox and others labored, and in another part of the town are evidences showing how hard the struggle was. I saw on one visit there the Bottle Dungeon, where several martyrs wer confined till the^ were taken out and burned. If you win look up your hlitorv you wHl 1«arn that it was near tbla place where Archbishop Sharp, who waa such a cruel persecutor of the “Cov enanters,” was murdered. Those were stirring times in the old days, but it was the staunch courage of those old Scotchmen that helped to give us now what we most prise—freedom of con science and separation of church and State. I wish you could remember that it was not the Catholics that did the terrible persecuting in those times, killing innocent men and wo men and Imprisoning preachers of the Gospel, but it was the church of Eng land. and they have been doing, in a milder form, some of the same things lately about that education business. Speaking of St. Andrews, it was in teresting after so long an absence in China to see “market day" at home once more—young men and maidens come a-sweetheartlng. old neighbors meet and have a hearty “shake,” boys and girls have the time of their lives riding the “merry-go-round,” and the baser element get drunk and make trouble. It was interesting to notice “Buffalo Bill” at the place with a show; of course not the real "Buffalo BUI,” but a sorry Imitation; and also another show, “genuine American," and a lot of other "American” things around. I never can And out Just what a Scotchman thinks of America, hut I noticed that those who go over there generally stay. Wo west over on* day to take tea with a friend who stays in the place where there used to be a castle here In Crail. We were taken up on th® wall overlooking the sea. the same wall, we were told, that wae there when King David, of Scotland, bad hie royal residence there. In writing to a friend about Crail I ignorantly called It a “village.” and was Informed that this Is "a Royal burgh, in the Kingdom of Fife." I was properly rebuked. We can see from our bed room window the Isle of May, where they used to say the girl babies all came from. One day, many years ago, a little tot said she wanted a little sister, so she ran down to the old fisherman who was going over to the Isle of May and told him to bring her one. He said, “Gang awa’ hame and get a bit shawlle to wrap it in.” but when she returned the boat was gone. Wp can see also from here the Bass rock, the famous place where Cove nanting ministers were confined in prison, and at one time a fortress. Perhaps my account of this place would not he considered an account at ip if I did not give you something about golf. I spent a good nart of a day “chasing the little white ball.” You know how to play golf? Well, if you don’t “you don’t know nullin’,” as the little 'girl once told a missionary from China. You just take a little white ball about half the size of a “base” ball, and put it on the ground on a litle pile of sand, and then take a stick and whack away at it. Your aim is to knock it a quarter of a mile away, more or less, to a little hole in the ground made for its re ception. The man who can knock it there with the fewest number of strokes is the champion, and in one case one has got a stone-picture or sta tue of himself made on his grave and is honored by the multitude, though, poor fellow, he took to drink ami died early! There has been a shower of rain since I began this letter, and it is get ting bright again, so I think you will be glad for me to stop.
