Scared By War Talk.


ToRENTo, Ont, Dec. 30--The
World government paper) this
morning says: The United States
jingoes are in retreat, but any day
may see panic, followed by social
disturbances, and then an irrepres-
sible rabble of advehturers may
take the road to Canada. They
have done it before. There il, so
good authority says, a million men
without work, desperate as to the
future and with nothing to lose,
who could easily be got to join in
such an invasion.
There are also d host Of "gener,
als' and "colonels," Of more or less
experience and we'll versed in the
vocabulary or brag, to take COM
mand. We say in all seriousness
that we are liable to such an inva-
sion any day. 1t is therefore the
duty Of our government to take
some measure in defense and quiet
ly but vigorously to see what shape
we are in for resisting such an at
tack.
The government will at once es.
tablish a school ofmilitary instruc-
tion in Montreal. Several infuen-
tial delegations waited upon the
authorities in this connection and
the government decided to accede
TO their demands.

dose of strychnine. She may
blame her ignorance as to the

and only an intense nausea and
gripping resulted. The lady was
married something over a year ago
to a man named Graham. Before
marrying him she was a widow
with three children. The couple
have never lived happily together,
and this is said to be the cause Of
attempting suicide on Mrs. Graz

ing notified by the children what
his wife had done started after
the. doctor, and in a leisurely man
ner consumed a couple of hours in
hunting up the physician.
