Do you remember how the sun
Went shimmering across the dew
That day when May had just begun,
And all of life and love were new?
A gypsie lad and lass we ran
Through field and wood; can you forget
That day when you were Aucassin
And 1 was Nicolette?
And then the wonder of that night
When the white moon went up the sky,
And we two promised by its light
The faith and love that could not die.
By stern, parental law beset,
l think we quite enjoyed our woe,
That night when l was Juliet
And you were Romeo.
Tonight we meet again-we two;
Great are the comedies of life,

Yawn while you watch and wait your
wife.

You slumber while we drive up town,
Tonight, when you are Mr.. Brown
And / am Mrs Brown.

Military Prowess Of Japanese,

The military prowess of the japanese
has ceased to be the occasion OF amaze
ment: II is established and familiar; the
Seneralship audacious, large visoned,
wonderful in mastery of detail; in the
ranks magnificent in intrepidity, the
armies and fleets OF the Mkado have
simply gone on from victory to victory
The issesistible advance OF the campaign
now waging under the direction of Field
Marshal Oyama was splendid In its con
ception-if IL has been only partially sue
cessful in practice, that fact is due to
the remarkable military ability OF Kuro-
patkin general handicapped by an
inferior force. fighting a defensive cam
paign to gain time. falling back from
point to point as slowly as possible, yet
with the least possible loss. Nor must
the fact be lost sight of, in the presence
of the brilliant courage of the Japanese
soldiers, that the Russians, alike at Port
Arthur and in Kuropatkins ranks, have
displayed a stubborn heroism and main
tained composure worthy to elicit the
worlds admiration.-t Philadelphia Led

May Beat Parker Worse than Bryan.
[Springfield Union

Vermonts state election leaves no
doubt to any one Of political judgment
that Mr.. Parker is doomed to an over
whelming defeat. And IL the Green
Mountain state shows how Republicans
and Independent citizens will vote for
President Roosevelt. on the same day
Arkansas shows how even hide bound
Southern secession Democrats will not
vote for Mr.. Parker for while Vermont
gives a Republican plurality which. every
thing considered, has never been
equaled, the Democratic vote in Arkan-
sas Is cut in halfi-INew York Press.
1t is within the bounds OF possibility
that Parker may be worse beaten than
was Bryan. but that is hardly probable
1t is conceded generally that Parker will
get the eight electoral votes OF Mary
land, which voted for Mckinley. II Yer
mont, Arkansas and Oregon are correct
indications Of the drift of public opinion
ii seems almost certain that the Demo-
Gratis this year will be able to reclaim no
state save Maryland. Bryan had one
hundred and fifty-five votes. and the eight
added would make one hundred and sixty
three. There is good ground for hoping
perhaps expecting, that Parker will lose
Montana, Idaho. Nevada and Colorado,
which Bryan carried. These have n total
of fourteen, and II Maryland should vote
for Parker and all these states for Roose-
welt. Parker's net loss would be six votes,
or one hundred and forty-nine. But these
figures would not be exact, because the
total electoral vote is much larger this
year than in 1900.
The total Bryan majority In these four
Western states in 1900 was about thirty
six thousand. but three OF the states
Montana, Colorado and Idaho. have in
their state elections gone Republican
since 1900, with total majority OF about
twenty one thousand. The difference be
tween the BRYAN majority in 1900 and the
Republican majority since, is fifteen
thousand. and it is conceded that the
| Democrats of that section are greatly
displeased with Parker's nomination. II
is possible then that Parker will be beat
en- worse than Bryan.
