An interesting discovery was made
on the farm OF Kerr. Belheivie. Scot
land In the course of cultivation. in
a field near by clump OF trees known
as the Haircairn. an ancient grave
was discovered containing a perfect
human skeleton and three urns. One
of the urns was practically whole, but
the other two were broken. The

Probably Mrs. Conner Had Not Reflect.
ed on the Extreme ungraciousness
Of Her Remark.

There are ungracious persons, OF
whom certain Mrs. Conner is one,
who cannot do anything for themselves
or anyone else without magnifying the
difficulties of the task.
If Mrs. Conner baked a cake or pre-
pared a special dish she always re-
marked at the table, Land sakes, it
ought TO be good, 1t was a turrible
job. | nearly roasted myself over the
stove bakingit.'
II she sat up with sick neighbor
she spent the evening telling about
what "tnrrible mess she had left
her house in, and how difficult 1t was
for her to get away. and how hard she
would have to work the next day to
make up for it. One afternoon while
Mrs. Curtis. her next-door neighbcr,
was away, her sister unexpectedly ar
rived from another city.
Mrs. Conner, seeing the visitor and
her grips on the Curtis front porch,
and knowing the Curtis house was
licked, invited her to come over to her
house and wait for her sisters re-
turn.
That evening when both the families
were on their front porches, Mrs. Cur
tbs called across:
"Oh, Mrs. Conner. / must thank you
for taking my sister in! She says you
entertained her all the afternoon
Yes, replied Mrs. Conner. and it
was a turrible job, too. Youths
