VST think boys and girls It is barely 200 years since here in our enlightened United States of ofAmerica ofAmerica ofAmerica
JUST America men mennnd and women we i charge with practicing witchcraft tortured tortur d into false confessions and andput andput andput
put to death deathThrough deathThrough deathThrough
Through the efforts of the celebrated Cotton Mather 20 people were put to death as witches 55 55vere
cruelly tortured and narrowly escaped death 150 were thrown into prison prison and 200 were openly openlyiccused
or suspected before b fore people found their right senses and put a death to this terrible persecution persecutionf
f perfectly innocent people peopleIt
It hardly seems possible does it For WE think of witches just st as we do of fairies and gnomes gnomesas
as delightful makebelieves just lovely to read stories about and all that sort of thing but never as aseal
Look in the dictionary boys and nd gir and count the number ofwords of words that are derived from the therord thevord
vord witch witchat at least 25 of them I That indicates how firmly people used to believe inihe absurd idea of ofreal
