When the letter came from sister Molly asking permission to send Eloise to us for time l felt it was an act of Providence Not that a visit from she needed watching every minute she was. awake, but just at that time we needed a stirring up. However, any lining that would have broken the spell would have been as welcome. But the Lord sent Eloise.
 When I told grandpa a beatific smile lighted his dear face.
 I didn't attempt to tell Gordon In fact. since he had begun to act like a man robbed of his req son, and forbade our mentioning Alice's name, silence and gloom had settled upon us, and was becoming almost unbearable We ate in painful silence, or talked in nOnoSylla bles and sat about the eve ming lamp in the same old way, mak- ing a brave effort to appear natural, which was impossible, as there wasn't a natural thing about the whole af- fair
 When grandpa and I were alone all we could talk of was Gordan and Alice, and being in total ignorance of the cause of their estrangement there was nothing to be gained from spec ulating- To be sure, Gordon had much of his mothers temperament. but who could know how much of his fathers lay dormant within him?
 Twenty years is a long while, yet IL IS SurpflSlng now Qu1Ckly some things will set us back over the in terval Every morning I awoke with that old pain, which time and care had helped to deaden, tugging at my heartstrings, sobliterating the happy years the care of Gordon in our chang ed environment had given us.
 When it seemed the very darkest E1oise arrived. She ripped airily up the walk, self conscious with the re- sponsibility of travelling alone. She wanted to go to "her room at once. I called her own, which had been Cor don's when he was her age and older. To her it seemed a treasure house, made so. perha ps, by the bedtime sto ries of the little boy who had played and slept there. She looked about her, her glance resting lovingly on the familiar objects. when suddenly she shrieked:
 .Where is she? Aunt Harry. where has she gone? My Betsy doll,'
 The Betsy doll had once been the delight of Gordon, having been sent him from Paris by his fathers sister. Now, with all his other abandoned toys it was at her disposal while wis for the first time I had neglected to put it out to greet its foster mother. who was pulling at my skirts, and shrieking at the top of her Iusty little lungs.

What Mr. Taft Has Done.

At the Pinchot- Garfield -conserva- tion ratification meeting at St. Paul this week these gentlemen intimated broadly that they would be only too pleased to head a new party presum- ably for the purpose of carrying out the policies of the late president of the United States MT. Roosevelt.
 There will be no uprising by the peo- pie to heed this call President Taft, in a decidedly monotOnouS way, we will admit, has done a great deal in mailing down the policies which MT. Roosevelt talked about, but which he did or could do little in accomplishing. It is not yet realized how much MT. Taft has done, but it will be. It may be that the concessions he has gained have been reluctantly made, but they have been obtained all the same, and the public is not going to be fussy about the manner in which they were secured.
 Progressive legislation is almost in variably of slow growth it is a giving away here and there, and it is well that it is so; business having been built up under certain conditions, it must not be ruth1essly disarranged in a moment. The stocks of many of our public ser vice corporations have been watered but as these securities are held by in- nocent people it would not do to im- peril them, it would be a different thing if the people who are responsible for these bad securities were their bona ffde owners.
 On the other hand, Vice President Sherman defines a republican as "a man who votes the republican ticket at the polls and votes for republican measures in congress-" If. MT. Sher- man had used principles in the place of measures" he would have stated the case nearer right. Certain o-called republican measures that were urged in congress were not based on repub- lican principles, and 1t was admitted that that was so by the president when he issued some weeks ago what was termed the Taft programme. Some republicans made up their minds not to surrender certain republican prin- ciples. some of which were framed in- toBthe Chicago platform tyo years ago, and they are termed insurgents, but when President Taft announced his programme and insisted on having 1t carried out he became the greatest in- surgent of them all.
 Viewing things as they are and as they are likely to be, there is no room for Messrs. Pincrot and Garf1eld's third party. So far as can be seen at pres

Speaking of the recent action of Brown university toward increasing it's independence by removing demonia- tional restrictions and providing a pen sion system of its own for it's profes- sors, the Waterbury American eX- presses concisely the common objec- ton to the influence of the Carnegie foundation when it says: 'Dr. Pritch- ett, head of the foundation, has been very autocratic in imposing conditions and restrictions upon all universities seeking to secure for it's professors the pensions of the foundation. Dr. Pitch etts aim has been to Standardize the educational plants of the country through the pressure of the apparent necessity, for every university that would retain it's best professors. of go- ing to an extreme to secure these pen sions." This subject has been discuss ed in many of the papers. including the Times, very soon after the appearance of the report which made this tenden- cy apparent. The more the subject is discussed the plainer becomes the dan ger that is apprehended from so great power as that of the Carnegie foun- dation, not matter how benevolently it is exercised.

BRANDEGEE AT WORK.

Senator Brandegee appears to have been reserving himself for the aus picious moment and may yet push the Appalachian forest reserve bill through. Doubtless the senator un- derstands the situation and will do all that can be done at this session There are certain limitations, how ever. beyond which no one can go and we may feel assured that if the bill fails to get hearing and action now, It will be because no one could have secured that measure of success for it. The bill passed by the house and sent to the senate is in a favorable situation and does not need much pushing if the sena te shall be willing to consider it at all There seems to lie the whole business. and Senator Brandegee probably knows best how to reach the desired end if it can be reached at all this time If not passed now it will go over as unfinished bus mess, to be taken up at the next ses- sion.

 in favor of this bill. There has been no bill before congress for years which has so generally enlisted the interest and sympathies of all the people; and the demand for it has been urgent. Speaker Cannon's attitude against this measure created intense prejudice against him here in New England. New England has Ebeen taught that this is a vital matter and to conserve her water power she be- lieves that it is necessary and that the measure should not be delayed.
 The Bulletin prints elsewhere an abstract of Senator Brandegee's ad- dress in favor of the bill. The bill was met by a coterie of democratic flibus- ters who would have prolonged the session of the senate, and it was be- cause of this that the measure was continued to the next session of con gress.
