John o'Groat's House.

In the reign of James " of Scotland
Malcolm and Gavin-arrived at Cath
ness and bought the lands of Warse
and Dugisby. on the beach at the
mouth of Penland Firth, the north
eastern extremity of the mainland Of
Scotland In time their families i'm
creased until there were eight house
holds of the same name. They lived
as neighbors in the greatest peace and
amity, holding an annual festival In the
same house. At last the question Of
precedence arose among the younger
members and they disputed as TO who
should sit near the head of the table or
enter the room first.
Old johnny O'Groat was made arbi-
traitor OF the dispute. He promised
that before the next meeting he would
settle the question TO the satisfaction Of
all concerned. Accordingly he built an
eight sided house in which 20 hold the
annual dinner This octagonal house
was fitted with door and a window on
each side and a round table in the cen
ter of the room. so that the head Of
each family Of the O'Groats might enter
by his own door and sit at a table
which was practically without a
head This famous house was situated
about a mile and a half west Of the
point of land called Dugisby Head.
The site Of the house is now marked
only by some grass covered mounds

The question was a stupendOus one,
and after being argued pro and con it
was finally decided infavor Of the miss.
The ignorance of the clerk was fact,

the ladies on reaching the hotel walked
up to the man at rhe desk and inquired
for Miss Mitchell. Much 10 their con
