Some Letters That Illustrate a Phase of
Her Character Hitherto Unknown.
Those who have read of Miss Alcott
as a woman who did not encourage intimacies, and seldom wrote letters except to her family, have a pleasant
surprise aw.iiting them in The Ladies'
Home Journal for S>.>pt«-rober. In lhat
issue of the magazine the original of
''Laurie" in the famous story of "Little
Women," presents for the b'rst tim« u
number of mosL delightful letters
which came to him from this remarkable woman. "Laurie's" real name is
Alfred Whitman aud he now lives in
Kansas. When a hoy he *p--nt a year
in Concord, and there mi?t the au' nor,
with when} he snqp hecame a favorite.
After his removal J,o f.he fa** West they
corresponded regularly, and the»e letters, the first installment of whif.h appears tbis month, shpw Mis? A'P0^ to
have been different in many ways from
what her biographers would have us
believe.   Of them Mr. Whitman says:
"Deference to the wishes of the surviving members of the family compels
me to omit several of the let'.ers and
parts of others. Enough remains, however lo proye to all lovers of Louise M.
Alcott that justice has never been done
to the sweetest and most attractive
side of her nature—her real 'ove for
boys, which sprang from the. roy na
lure that was hers in so marked a degree."
PET ANIMALS.
It has sometimes heen argued that
the keeping of pet animals is one way
to develop the humane insliucte of
people in general. Like other practices, however, this one Is good only
when it is not abused, as it frequently is:
When one considers the number of
miserable little beasts yearly trapped,
captured, and bred in cages for the.
amusement of mankind, it seems as if
some better method of amusement
might be devised.
Of course, there are people who
make friends and companions of their
pets, and although nobody can be absolutely certain about animal "psychology, it may be that the dog, horse
or bird derives an amount of pleasure
from contact" with the superior mind
which more than repays the loss of
freedom. In the case of a highly bred
dog or a saddle-horse it is almost certain that this is so. But these are in
the minority when the whole number
of domesticated auimals is considered.
In the first place, it is certainly cruelty to take a wild creature out of its
natural environment and place it in a
cage where it can have little exercise,
no natural companionship, and often
no suitable food. It is entirely possible for people iiving in a country town
or small village to tame squirrels,
birds and other wild things without in
the least interfering with their freedom, if they choose to use a 'little patience. Most wild animals will come
where they are not afraid of being
hurt. The red squirrel can be coaxed
to come from his hole and eat corn
from the hand of a human being, and
birds ot all kinds are easily tamed in
the same way. One who has once enjoyed the delight of winning the confidence of the wood-folk will never
again wish to keep any of them in a
cage.
The animal which is bred lor the
purpose of domestication, like the lap-
dog, the Persian cat, the white mouse,
or the canary, is usually inferior in intelligence to wild animals, for the very
good reason that it does not need as
much brains to be fed, petted and put
to sleep as to get one's living, in the
midst of a throng of enemies. There
are two ways, however, in which the
keeping of these animals can ba made
r ally beneficial to childn n-ind adults-;
one is by making companions of them,
developing all the intelligence they
have, and the other is by choosirg pets
<f aiPort whose intelligence is already
considerable. Children should be encouraged to be kind to their pets and to
make friends with them, and this cannot be done unless there is intelligence,
on the other side, [f the comfort and
well-being of the animal is studied it
will be good for the master as well as
the net, for altruism gi-nerally works
in that way, but candor will compel
most people to admit that nothing of
the kind is usually done.

A Word to the Parents.
Parents are urged to use every possible influence to send their children
to school the First Day. Disadvantages to both school and pupils always
arise from starting in school after the
opening. Classes begin work promptly and continue in a systematic manner
thus rendering it difficult for students
to "Make up" their studies to points
reached by those who begin in advance,
and thus many who begin late become
| discouraged and drop out of school altogether or struggle on in despair accomplishing but litlle and lhat in a
manner lesb creditable than it should
be.
Pupils arc advised to purchase their
books needed for the school year also
pens, ink and composition teblels after
cousulting with their teachers the first
morning*. In this way many mistakes
usually made, and exchanges so often
sought will be avoided.
