WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The nlted
States Senate opens this year with two full
grown babies. These are the twin Senators
from the new State OF Wyoming. They are
both bright fellows and they promise we'll.
Senators Carey and Warren are of the
same age, both were born in the East, both
have made money in Western stock raising,
ana both come from the capital of the new
State, Cheyenne. Senator Carey has a good
standing here as a territorial delegate. He
has served five years in Congress, and he is
as straight as string and as bright as a
button. He has studied the machinery OF
Congressional legislation, and he goes into
the Senate well equipped for his duties.
The most interesting of the new Senators,
however, is Governor Warren. He is en-
tirely new to Washington, and his only
political service has been as Governor OF
Wyoming Territory, Mayor of Cheyenne,
and as one of the leading politicians of his
section. He is a man with history, and
his life has been typically American. His
father was Massachusetts farmer who be-
lieved that all the learning a boy needed
was comprised in the mastery of the three
RS. ''readin, ritiu, rithmetic.
LEARNING BY n TALLOW DIP.
When young Warren was 13 years old he
had TO a certain extent mastered these, and
he wanted more schooling. His father told
him that if he got it he would have to earn
it, and he let him have his time !or himself
From that age until now Warren has made
his own living. He got good education
by working in the summers and going to
school in the winters, and the most of his
lessons were studied by the light of talIow
dip. away up under the roof in his attic
room in his grand!ather's house, where he
boarded. He had progressed well in his
academical studies when the war broke out,
and he was at this time about 16 years old.
He wanted to enlist at once, but his father
sent him word prohibiting it, and, accord
ing to the laws of Massachusetts, he had to
be considerably older before he could 60
without his fathers consent.
He was under ,ntract to work for his
master until he was is. But on his 18th
birthday, the 23d of June, 1862, be came
into town with load OF cheese, determine
to go to the war. There was a meeting in
the town hall that night for recruits and
Senator Warren tells me that when he went
in he saw his father there and he was afraid
be might prevent his enlistment.

of $50 had been offered for volunteers, and
be feared it would be thought he went into
the army for the bounty. When the re-
quest Tor recruits was made, however, he
found himself on his feet before he knew it,
and as he started up for the front his father
stood by his side and took his arm and
walked with him saving that he had not
wanteu him to 90 before; but that he was
man now, and he had confidently expected
to find him here and that he went with mis-
consent and his blessing.
So young Warren started out to battle.
He was only in service about year and had
been offered a commission, when sickness
drove him home TO Massachusetts,. He had
for time charge OF the largest dairy farm
in that part OF the country and was making
high salary for New England, when he de-
cided to 90 West He stopped in
Iowa, worked there for a time, and ther
went on TO Cheyenne. He had no money tc
speak of, but he got into merchandising and
cattle raising, and gradually increased hi.

HOW THE SENATOR LOOKS
Senator Warren is about six feet tall an,
his form is as straight as the straightes
pine which hugs the Wyoming slopes of th
Rocky Mountains. His shoulders are a
broad as are Western ideas, and his ches
has been made deep and full BY the rarife
air Of Cheyenne which contains, am told
80 times as much ozone as any air east of th
Mississippi. Senator Warren is a blonde
His hair is OF a light brown. His eyes ar
blue and he has a luxurIant straw-colore
mustache, which comes well down over
strong and clean-cut mouth. His forehea
is high and broad, his nose is straight, an
his face is on the whole, rather handsom,
He dresses well, talks well and will,
judge, be man OF more than ordlnar
