The last number of the Nebraska
Literary Magazine. published quarterly
by the English club Of the state univer-
sity. has arrived. 1t is a magazine about
as thick but wider than Harper's Month
~. Printed on heavy paper with
wide margins the mechanical appear
ance is worthy Of its literary excellence.
The frontispiece is a good likeness ofMrs.
A. w. Field, who contributes an article
on women's clubs. The ignorant and
prejudiced can not claim the excuse of
such adjectives since the appearance of
Mrs. Bryans and Mrs. Fields article on
women's clubs unless they count igno-
rance and prejudice more dear than
twenty five cents-the price of the book.
In "A Word About Clubs" Mrs. Field
gives the history Of women's clubs and
their formation and federation in this
state and confederation with other
states. She does not use a superfluous
word but proceeds from the first word
to the last-only two psges--in the
logical development of her subject. 1t
is only when read over the sentence
whose meaning must be grubbed for
that l appreciate the directness, sim
plicity and clevernese OF Mrs. Fields
and Mrs. Bryan's articles. A large idea
frequently succeeds in throwing the
youthful mind that wrestles with it as in
the poem on page LAB callcd Day Dreams.
Those Who try to get a vision Of what
the young man is wrestling with see
only dust and the champions bleeding
nose.
Ut is a matter OF regret that Mrs.
Field does not sign her own name to
her article and leave off the Mrs" Mr..
Field has nothing to do with "A Word
About Clubs" / heard Mrs. Field talk
In her university days long before Mr..
Fields oratorical ability was so well
known and May Fairfield was selected
then as now when the school wanted
representative. When a married or un
married woman signs her name to
check or TO any kind OF literary pro-
duction she does so as an individual. 1t
is as absurd for her to put Mrs. or Miss
before it or, in the case Of married
woman to use her husbands initials, as
II would be for man to write Mr.. j.
A. Brown hundred times a day when
1t is necessary for him to sign his in
nuential name. There are number Of
women in this town who sign checks
and productions daily and it is about
time they learned to give the Missus
rest.
Mrs. Bryan has accomplished what
she advises other women to, in her
essay on stumbling Blocks" This
woman with an invalid mother and
father and three little children to care

Day Dreams by John Cupp Lowe
has phrase-beauty but lacks coher-
ence. TIE charm Of phrases like "foggy
vales' and music world" remains in the
mind as Tennyson's do by their poetic
completeness. But here is the poem:
Some vague day dreams will haunt the
misty morn
OF life. like ghosts that stalk in foggy
Before the Christening sun has kissed
away
The low-hung clouds. and perfect day is
born.
The sailors wife dreams of incoming
calls.
When landward blows the gale; and
we'll she may.
For that which starts the child's fantas-
tic dream,
And makes the boys chase idle but
terfiies,
Has kindled in her heart some dorm
ant Goals
That blazed in other days. when Lover
sweet theme
Attuned the music world with their
two souls
That sailed the seas beneath the viz
gin skies:
Each fruitless day she strains her failing
sight.
And looks. and longs. and dreams again
at night.
From the fifth line slightly para
phrased the poem reads: The sailors
wife dreams OF incoming sails, when
landward blows the gale; for the same
thing which starts the child's fantastic
dream and makes boys chase idle but
terfiies twhat is it!) has kinuled in her
heart some dormant Goals, that blazed
in other days when Loves theme used

probably, husband not specifically des-
Ignatedl to put in tune the music world.
While the two souls were keying the
world they were sailing the seas be-
peath virgin skies: Ito return to the
sleeping Mrs. Sailor.) Each day she
strains her failing sight and looks and
longs. and dreams again at night. From
the ninth line The imagery issquandered.

TRANSFER TICKETS.
No Tickets Can Be Issued on Parallel
Lines.

Speaking of transfer tickets on the
lines of the Portland electric road, Su-
perintendept Newman says: COZ course
it is necessary to have proper regulations
in the matter of transfers, in order that
the company may not directly lose
money. No transfers are issued on paral.
lei lines, for any one can see with little
thought, how that would work. A per son
riding on Congress street in either di-
reotion towards the station in Monument
Square Is given q transfer to Spring
street line which allows him to change
oars at the station. Thus passenger can
go from Munjoy hill to the Grand Trunk
depot or any point on Spring street for
one fare. Any person living on Spring
street, west of State street, can go to the
Union Station by taking a car going
west and getting a transfer at the termi-
nus on Vaughan street. But person
riding down town on Spring street car
is not given transfer to allow him to
go to the Union Station, though at Mon
ument Square he may change to a car
going to Munjoy Hill. A person starting
from the Grand Trunk can get transfer
from Spring street car to the Union
Station, though the better way would
be to wait for Union Station car. The
pnblic are assured that there is a good
reason for some restriction in the giving
of free transfers.
