round this time of year when the

"How can we be merry?" some -

'good an imitation as you knowhow'
and let it go at that. If the old
Ship sinks let's go down smiling.

Fred Williams in the Mail and Em,
piro yesterday reproduced the fam-
ous will of . the late William "Tiger"
Dunlop, a prominent figure in Huron
in the early days of the Canada Com-
pany. This; will is a curiosity, all
right, but we always thought it a
proof of a nasty disposition. A maty
takes themean advantage of putting.
into his will a lot of things which
he no doubt 'never ,dared say to the
members of his family while he
ed. -sr Feet is, we always thought that
probably' he wasn't a very nice man
to get along with, indeed, we have
some proofs of that, and his broth-
ers, and especially his sisters, may
have pointed out some of his faults
from thne to time in a way he found
unaswerable, so he took this oppor-
tunity of getting back at them.
Anyway, we'be seen that will in
print so often that we can almost say
it off without prompting.; Let us
have something fresh. Hasn't ally,
one made an original will recently?
may nlalce : it more:, difficult to sit
down in friendly fashion and tali, it,
over later. But Dec. 15th came last
week and the question had to he
dealt with., Britain dealt with it in
the only way she could' deal with it
at the time and we, as Britons, are
proud that it is so,
