At the auction s ale

The daisies curtsied along the road.
And the thrushes took a peep.
l know they guessed that the tiny bed
Was a nest for baby's sleep!
And while the larks and the thrushss
piped
In the morning diamond-dewed,
The mother Sang by her downy nest.
And the baby crowed and cooed:
Till the baby's fancy passed away
One night on q stormy CLEAN,
And the mother followed him, to hear
The end Of his little dream!
What need of a house and a cradle nowf
What need Of n rest for me2
The silence Is my only mate,
And the babe Is memory!
/ give the crib to the mother young,
With the babe on her breast at play
But III have TO turn my eyes, I know,
When she carries 1t away!

WOODSTOCK. VT. SATURDAY, MARCH r. 1904.
OF STUPENpoUs EFFECT.
British Experts Can Hardly Believe
Report or Japanese Victory.

London--The news from Washington
of the appearance OF Japanese forces
at Tungwangchen, about As. miles
northwest of Antung, in Manchurla
and Tashan, few miles inland from
the mouth of the Yalu river, Is regard
ed at most important.
According to the Tientsin corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph the
Japanese advanced from the Yalu riv-
er, captured ningwangchen and drove
out the Russians in the vicinity to the
Takuling eastern pass, and are in force
20 miles east OF Newchwang The Rus
slams, with $4,000 men, are intrenched
strongly at Liaoyang and Haichang,
where fighting is imminent. Some
small engagements already have been
fought, the Russians retiring with
losses.
This correspondent says further that
the Japanese are using the same tao
tics and advancing along the same
route they followed during the Chinese
war
The Yinkow correspondent Of the
1 di 10 euiIioh VI lHS INcW loih I1Si diu
also vaguely reports the Japanese to
be so miles northwest of Antung and
we'll to the westward of the Yalu river.
This Is the only news on this sub
ject yet received in London and to
some Of the military critics 1t is in
conceivable that Japan really can have
executed such a sudden, unexpected
and successful turning of the Russian
position on the Yalu river, which Is
thought would have necessitated the
employment of much larger force
than 1t is believed Japan can possibly
have at this point.
The Daily Telegraph, commenting
on these reports, says that il the news
of this strange and marvellous col
lapse of Russian power on land is true,
there is nothing to prevent the Japa-
nese from seizing Moukden and the
railroad.
There has been nothing to compare
with this move, the paper continues,
since Napoleon staggered Europe by
appearing in the plains Of Italy, hav-
ing descended from the Alps as from
the clouds
Its effect throughout the east will be
stupendous.
The other newspapers prefer to wait
for authoritative details before accept
ing this news.
