There are flowers in the meadow,
There are clouds in the sky
Songs pour from the woodland,
The waters glide by;
Too many, too many
For eye or for ear,
The sights that we see.
And the sounds that we hear.
A weight as of slumber
Comes down on the mind;
SO swift is life's train,
TO its objects we're blind;

Like others l walk

dispatches to the emperor lead the gen
eral staff to attribute more importance
10 rumors of Marshal Oyama's con-
tinued advance against Mukdcn and
surrounding points than was given last
week. 1t is evident from General Kuro-
patkin's advices that the Japanese have
not completed their massing move
ments at several points south and
southeast of Mukden. and the impress
sion grows that Oyama is waiting to
re-enforce Kuroki before forcing the
turning movement against the Russian
left. That movement cannot be com
pleted without a severe battle, and the
Japanese commander undoubtedly is
concentrating all his strength for a
terrible blow against kuropatkins
