 A Quentin Anecdote
 White House, April 22, 1906- Dear Kermit.
 Ted has been good and cunning as possible. He has completely re- covered from the effect of having his eye operated upon. and though the eye itself is a somewhat gruesome object, Ted is in the highest spirits. He goes back to Harvard today
 As I write, Archie and Quentin are busily engaged in the sandboX and l look out across the tennis grounds at them. If ever there was heayen-sent treasure to small boys. that sand box is the treasure. It was very cunning to see the delight various little chill dren took in it at the egg-rolling on Easter Monday Thanks to our de- cision in keeping out grown people ana stopping everything at one o'clock, the egg-rolling really was a children's festival, and was pretty and not ob- jectionable this year.
 The apple trees are now coming into bloom, including that big arched apple tree, under which mother and I sit, by the fountain, on the stone bench. It is the apple tree that mother particularly likes.
 Did Quentin write his poems after you had gone? I never can recollect whether you have seen them or not. He is a funny small person if ever there was one. The other day we were discussing a really dreadful accident which had happened; a Georgetown young man having taken out young girl in a canoe on the river, the canoe upset and the girl was drowned: whereupon the young man, when he got home, took what seemed to us an exceedingly coldblooded method of a special delivery letter to notify her parents. We were expressing our horror at his sending a special delivery letter. and Quentin solemnly chimed in with Yes, he wasted ten cents.g There was a moments eloquent silence, and then we strove to explain to Qfentin that what we were objecting to was not in the least the young mans spendthrift attitude,

 It should be taken account that when these matters were brought of the counry General Wood in the midst of his duties as he is His activity in of those great ques- tions would certainly have brought upon him rebuke from the department Army officers are not expected devote part of their time to matters which the special province of the legislative government; is. matters which do the military department and then it is expected their advice will be given only when it s asked for.
 A reply may be made to the Times criticism. bodying in point The Times is very friendly o President Wilson. his thick thin porter. To the Times the president do no wrong The president is the Times model of presi dents.
 It has been within the presidents two terms that these great questions of national suffrage and tional prohibition reached their finally, their settlement. On which side these questions has the president been? We may reply that he has been both sides. At first he opposed national legislation both of these subjects and then. later recommended both. Neither suf- fragists the prohibtonists suspect from his titude relative time prohibition that he and the suffragists rather than suspicious Is it not better be neutral than both sides of a dispute?
 But General Wood neutral or uncer- great foremost things that have

General Wood the originator of the Plattsburg plan without which would have made much showing n And it was for the advocacy of that that General Wood incurred the dspeasure the war depart ment and the president, forced his chief of staff and kept him active participation in the war.
 General Wood knew that he would formidable opposition of the administration to the Plattsburg plan. He knew that his advocacy of it and of military preparedness would bring upon him all the punishment that the administration able to inflict Yet he pursued with high courage and unselfish disregard consequences Surely such man would be question because of lack of courage.
 It is a fact though whether deporable or not as the Times ayers it is, that the unknown usually prevailed in presidential campaigns is de- plorable it is not is so The we'll known man has always made bitter enemies. But the unknowns who have succeeded presidency have often been good and great presidents Of that conspicuous example is Grover Cleveland

 A Big and Lonely White House
 White House, April 1, 1906. Darling Quenty-Quee:
 Slipper and the kittens are doing finely. I think the kittens will be big enough for you to pet and have some satisfaction out of when you get home, although they will be pretty young still. I miss you all dreadfully, and the house feels big and lonely and full of echoes with nobody but me in it; and I do not hear any small scamps running up and down the hall just as hard as they can; or hear their voices while I dressing; or suddenly look out through the windows of the office at the tennis grounds and see them racing over 1t or playing in the sand box. I love you very much.
 A New Puppy and New Horse
 White House, April 12, 1906. Dear Kermit:
 Last night l played "tickley" in their room with the two little boys. As we rolled and bounced over all three beds in the course of the play. not to men ton frantic chases under them, I think poor mademoiselle was rather appalled, at the result when we had finished Archies seven-weeks- old St. Bernard puppy has come and it is the dearest puppy imaginable; a huge, soft thing, which Archie carries around in his arms and which the whole family love.
 Yesterday I took a first ride on the new horse, Roswell, Captain Lee going along on Rusty as kind of a nurse. Roswell is not yet four and he is really a green colt and not quite the horse want at present, as I haven't time to fuss with him, and am afraid of let ting the sergeant ride him, as he does not get on well with him, and there Is nobody else in our stable that can ride at all. He is a beautiful horse, wonderful jumper. and does not pull at all. He shies pretty badly, espe- cially when he meets an automobile; and when he leaves the stable or strikes a road that he thinks will take him home and is not allowed to go down it. he is apt to rear, which I do not like; but I am inclined to think that he will get over these traits, and if I can arrange to have Lee handle him a couple of months more and if Ted and I can regularly ride him down at Oyster Bay, I think that he will urn out all right.
 Mother and I walk every morning through the grounds which, of course.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Negotia- tions towards a compromise on the German peace treaty and conference on railroad reorganization legislation promises to be the only activities of the few members of congress remaining here during the two weeks holiday re- cesses, which began shortly before last midnight. By the time congress reconvenes January 9th it is hoped to have compromise arrangement on the treaty prepared for presentation soon afterward in the senate. Dispo- sal of the railroad legislation, how ever, Is not expected until late next month.
 Senate and house managers of the railroad measures will hold a formal meeting Tuesday to outline work on adjustment between the Cummins and Esch bills. The following Monday the managers expect to hold daily sittings, probably lasting for weeks.

Sorrows of Skip

White House, April 1, 1906. Darling Archie:
 Poor Skip is a very, very lonely little dog without his family. Each morning he comes up to see me at breakfast time and during most of breakfast (which I take in the hall just outside my room) Skip stands with his little paws on my lap. Then when I get through and sit down in the rocking chair to read for 15 or 20 minutes Skip hops into my lap and stays there, just bathing himself in the companion ship of the only one of his family he has left. The rest of the day he spends with the ushers, as I am so frightfully busy that I am nowhere long enough for Skip to have any real satisfaction never come home. We may never know what became of hi.N
 "An Interesting Circus Experience"
 White House. April 1, 1906 Darling Ethel:
 I haven't heard word from the two new horses, and I rather believe that if there had been any marked inn provement in either of them I should have heard. I gather that one at least and probably both would be all right for me if I were 20 years younger and would probably be all right for Ted now; but of course things are at present. I do not want a horse with which I have an interesting circus ex- perience whenever we meet an automo- bile, or one which I canot get to go in any particular direction without de- voting an hour or two to the job. So that it looks as if old Rusty would be good enough for me for some time to come. I am going out on him with Senator Lodge this afternoon, and he will be all right and fresh as paint for he has been three days in the stable.
