CALLED CURSE OF SCOTLAND
Why the Nine Of Diamonds Got Bad
Reputation In That Country
10 Uncertain.

II appears &c have been with the
family of the earl of Stair that the
nine of diamonds got the name Of
'"rhe Curse of Scotland" On their
armorial coat can be seen the nine
loZenges.
II was also said that the curse of
Scotland referred to the belief that
every ninth king of Scotland was a
curse to his country. But on looking
up the history of the earl OF Stair II IL
found that he is the eldest son OF
James Dalrymple, vlscount Stair the
president of the court OF sessions In
Scotland and the greatest lawyer the
country has produced.
This first earl, as Sir John Dali
rymple, was one of the persons OF I'M
portance chosen TO offer the crown Of
Scotland to William and Mary at the
revolution. AS secretary Of state he
was the prime instrument In causing
the massacre of Glencoe, which GOV.

He was largely instrumental In
bringing about the union OF Scotland
with England. though he did not live
TO see this effected, dying on January

next game we played, beat my father,
who is a very good chess player.
