STANDS SCOTLAND —?
Joint' Box, an irate Canadian-Scot, has deliberately destroyed the centuryold home of the Laird o’ M'Nab, the Scottish chieftain who took 85 clansmen to Canada in 1825. and settled them on ah 80,000-acre tract at Arnperior given them by the Government of Upper Canada. John Box, who is the M‘Nab descendant at present residing .on the. land, explains that he and his mother had been “pestered to death by people asking questions about the building, and by picnic parties who * visited the grounds, trampled potatoes and crops, and often lit and left fires.” So John knocked away the foundations nf the building and let it collapse into - a heap of debris. \ , Scotland, in one place, stands'not where she did.
