Miss AIcott as Author and Woman

Miss Josephine Lazarus publishes in The
Century a thoughtful sketch of the career
of fLouisa May Alcott, the children's author
from which we quote these paragraphs:
Strangely enough, in her works, which
are the counterpart of her life, her defect
becomes merit, and accounts for their
phenomenal success. What was it in Miss
Allcott's books that surprised and delighted
the children of score of years ago, and
that still holds its charm for the childhood
of today2 Was it new world that she
discovered-a fairyland of imagination and
romance, peopled by heroes and enchanted
beings? Far from it. 1t was the literal,
homespun, child's world of today; the
common air and skies, the common life of
every New England boy and girl, such as
she knew it; the daily joys and cares, the
games and romps and jolly companions
all the actuality and detail of familiar and
accustomed things which children love.
For children are born realists, who de-
light in the marvellous simply because for
them the marvellous is no less real than the
commonplace, and is accepted just as un-
conditionally Miss Alcott met the chill
dren on their own plane, gravely discussed
their problems, and adopted theit point Of
view, drawing in nowise upon her inven-
tion or imagination, but upon the facts OF
her own memory and experience. Whether
or not the picture, so true to the life as
she had lived it, will remain true and vital
for all times cannot now be determined
For the literature of children, no less
than for our own, higher gift may be
needed; more finish and less of the trough
and ready" of everyday habit and exist
ence; above all, perhaps, larger general
ization and suggestion, and the touch of
things unseen as well as things familiar.
But whatever the fate of her books, Miss
Alcott deserves the niche she has won, and
the monument built for her in the record
of life which is protest against the
doubts of the age-the fear that duty may
have lost its sway and character its founda-
ton, and that happiness is the sole meas
ure and rule of living.

il is expected 10 have the building en-.
closed by the middle Of January. Sew.
enteen carloads Of logs and other ma.
tcrial were collected at Old Mission
and these should all be now in Chicago
or on the road Many Of the exhibits
in the several counties are now packed

pressed the higest satisfaction at the

are most encouraging, and, while much
work remains to be done, yet no efforts
are being spared TO make ldaho's ex.

Last Monday there was a trial

Sinnott Immediately vacated the

gracefully introduced him to the

Judge Clinton assumed the judicial

without further interruption.
Judge Clinton is n man Of high

1t is the desire OF Commissioner
Wells To have for the Worlds Fair all
the historical relics that can be obtained
for this purpose. People who have in
their possession any mementoes, heir
looms, or keepsakes OF the early days,
or who know of any such in the state,
would do well to send them to the
commissioner at Boise City, or com.
municate with him in regard to them
Any articles loaned the commissioner
will be carefully preserved and return
ed at the end Of the exposition. There
are many things in the state illuStra
tive of pioneer life in Idaho, and while
familiarity may make them seem little
noticed by our own people, yet these
very objects will be OF the greatest
