NO MILITARY AID
VIII England Permit Germany to Give
to President Kruger.

LONDON, Jan. 6. The People, the
weekly edition of the Globe, which is
in touch with the government, says
there is reason to believe that Prime
Minister Salisbury and his colleagues,
owing TO the hostile attitude of Ger
many, will consider tho expediency of
immediately strengthening the British
forces in those parts of the empire
that are exposed to attack. Field
Marshal Lord Wolseley, commander
in-chief of the forces, has given
it as his firm opinion that
if the forces are sent abroad it will be
necessary to reinforce the troops at
home. 1t is therefore likely that the
militia and army reserves will be called
out to such an extent as to place at
least one army corps at the disposal of
the war Office for foreign service.
The Central News says that the gov
ernment is determined not to permit
Germany to give military assistance to
the Transvaal.

THE DEMAND FOR WHEAT.
Striking Statements by the London Daily

Striking Statements by the London Daily
 Telegraph In Reference to It.
 London, Oct 27.-In an article on the demand for wheat and the supply of the cereal, the Daily Telegraph says:
 The stock of foreign wheat at the prin- cipal British ports, it Is said, would not suffice to feed the country for fortnight The slight fall in American exchanges on Saturday gave the English markets a downward tendency, but it is the opinion of one of the best known corn factors in Mark Lane that American wheat will speedily rise with a bang, and that by Christmas prices will be much further enhanced.
 During the recent excitement specula- ton in England and America was carried beyond reasonable bounds. but in the market the opinion is positive that at least portion of the rise will be retained and that an era of low prices is for the time being ended.
 The Evening Standard says that the tendency in wheat Is for higher prices. adding: "The failure In Asia will divert Californian and Australian wheat from Europe there. Only the tremendous effort in the United States to hurry wheat across the Atlantic in exchange for gold prevented a much greater increase in prices, and when the thrush is past there will be further rise.

 Is Shakespeare's wit different from the wit of today? So far as the play on words Is concerned, it is different; but the true wit, that lies deeper than WordS is not different. Shakespeare depicted human nature, which Is essentially the same in all time. His best witticisms can be comprehended today as readily as in his day. For instance, Fastaff falls down on the field of battle and makes believe that he has been slain. After the fight he cautiously rises. He looks around and sees Hotspur lying lifeless on the field. He approaches him cautiously and touch- es him with his sword gently. He is afraid that Hotspur is playing the 'posum just as he did. A brave man never would have thought that Hotspur was playing the coward. It was the coward1y soul of Fall staff that suggested the thought, and his action appeals irresistibly to the sense of humor.
 Drummers are away from home a good deal, and often invent expedients to bring themselves to the remembrance of home folks One drummer who comes into Bir- mingham has an agreement with his wife that they shall read the same chapter in the Bible at certain hour every night. When he opens his Bible and reads he knows that his wife is reading the same chapter at the same hour.
 Children take matter of fact view n spiritual matters. A little fellow in the Paul Hayne public school was told by his teacher that the atmosphere a few miles above the earth was so rarefied that peo- pie live in heaven?" he asked. Little Marshall was told by his father to go out in the yard and pull up the weeds. He tugged away at a weed, but the ground was hard and the roots firm. "Papa, I believe that the devil has got hold of the roots," he said. boy on the North Highlands said: Mamma, you say people who tell lies don't go to heav- en?" he said. "Yes, my son." "Then George Washington must be the only man in heaven" he replied.
 MT. Wealsley in his lecture related sev- eral interesting occurrences. The name Cripple Creek was originated in an odd way Three miners looking for gold stopped at the creek to rest lame burro. They found gold in the creek and staked their claim and built cabin. While put ting on the roof one of the miners fell and broke an arm, and, falling on dog, broke his leg. So they gave the name Cripple to the creek.
