Minerva In Boston.

Edward A. Church, IN March Century.l
My Minerva fonts the Graces, and for
gets how fair her face is,
But the higher criticism she entirely
comprehends;
So she dresses very plainly, after some re
form ungainly,
And looks on Briggs and Spencer a.
her intimates and friends.
She S Indifferent to ices and CONNECTION
ers devices,
But on esoteric Buddhism she loves to
ponder well;
And though she reyer glances at the
popular romances,
She INDUCES on occasion in a study
or pastel"
She superior to Irritation; she contrib
uies to "T'he Nation"
And she d be rank agnostic if she
did mt know so much;
She declines in social duty to display her
modest beauty,
But she $ put poem of Browning into
genuine low Dutch.
She is unsteady clever, and the "tuDe"
taboos forever,
For TO Wagner" she is faithful, and to
Brahms she gives her heart;
Then at arts high altar kneeling she will
talk ''technie" and feeling"
And if say, at S pretty will reply,
But is it art2"
Dare ever hope to hold her in the arms
that would Unfold her?
Or, with Plato for my pattern, must
tell my love in Greek?
Let me curb this crude young passion,
and since courting's out of fashion,
Woo Minerva with problem, and of
Eros shyly speak.
Most persistently l IN examining, but
weary of my shamming,
And am not intoxicated with Castalia' S
bitter cup;
| might win the maids affections through
a course in comic sections,
But | wonder, if, once married, could
keep the blamed thing up.

Anew way to Deal With the Liquor
Traffic.

The Scandinavian system Of rcgu-
latiug the liquor traffic known as the
Gothenbnrg system, IS the next plan
that will be vigorously attempted in
he United States. Prohibition and
high license have each been tried in
different sections Of the country, and
for brief periods. without finally soIy-
ing the liquor question. The Goih-
enburg system is now to be tried. first
perhaps in Massachusetts. This sys-
tenn eliminates the possibility Of per
sonal profit from the sale Of liquor,
and throws many restrictions around
it. The income is used for various
public purpose. and the sale Of liquor
is under the direct supervision Of re-
sponsible men Of high character. So
cial reiormers in every part Of the
country are giving il close study
with reference to our American con-
tlitiors. An ardent believer in this
system is DIR. T. r. L. Gould, Who is
one OF our foremost students Of social
subjects. and who last year went to
Norway TO make personal study OF
this system. DR.. Could writes in the
March number Of the Forum a definite
explanation Of how il would work
when applied to American conditions.

Bandits Plunder the st. Louis g. San Fran
cisco Passenger Train and Escape.
MoNETT, Mo-. Nov I3.-The st. Louis
& San Francisco passenger train No. 1,
due here at $50 p. m, was held up and
the express car robbed miles east of
this city at 7:30 o'clock last evening. At
Verona two masked men boarded the
tender of the engine. concealed them
selves until the heavy grade and deep
cut was reached. Then they sprang
from their hiding place, covered the
engineer and fireman with Winches-
ters and commanded them to stop the
train. The command was promptly
obeyed. Climbing over the tender into
the cab the bandits marched the en-
gineer and fireman to the baggage car
and commanded them to open the door.
Messenger Chapman, by this time
aware of the robbery, refused to COM
ply, when, in a loud tone of voice, the
bandits, now six in number, threatened
to blow up the car with dynamite, and,
with true determination and in regular
Bill Cook style, produced a stick of
dynamite and were just in the
act of putting it to use when Engineer
Stevenson called to the messenger and
implored him to open the door, which
was done. The bandits entered the
car. plundered it and, in full view of
the terrified passengers, clambered up
the hill and made their escape. 1t
was a successfully planned hold-up,
which required just fifteen minutes.

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 13.-The famous
Nebraska maximum freight rate law,
also called the Newberry law, was sus-

States district court byAssociateJustice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court. Justice Brewers decision has
been expected for several months. 1t was
read by District Judge Dundy when he
opened court in this city this morning.
Justice Brewer holds the law to be
constitutional, but the injunction pre-
venting its operation is sustained on
the ground that the reduction in rates
is exorbitant. This practically nulli-
fies the law after all, though it pre-
serves and finally decides the right of
state legislatures to regulate railroad
rates
