MISS WARE KANSAS CITY
Spends Vacation Working Among
the Poor.

The following is from a Kansas City
paper:
Miss Abbie Ware, a graduate of Vas
sar college and a teacher in the Topeka
high school, spent her vacation at the
Young Women's Christian association
settlement house on Central avenue,
Kansas City, KaS., and returned to
Topeka yesterday to spend New Years
day at her home Miss Ware is a
daughter of Eugene Ware QronquilD,
the Kansas poet. She is thoroughly in
terested in sociology and her visit to
the settlement house was for the pur-
pose of getting an insight to the work
now being carried on in the west bot
toms by the Young Women'S Chris
tan association. She entered into the
work with enthusiasm and aided the
young women connected with the set
Element house in making the children
happy with presents of toys dolls and
pictures and with music and Christmas
sports.

END OF .sTHE BOULEVARD. .
Hereafter It is Just Plain Morris
Avenue.

Today marks the passing of the Gem
tlemen's Driving club of Topeka, which
fiourished at one time, and under the
through the Metsker tract, near Low
man Hill. was laid out at considerable
expense.
Street Commissioner Frank Snyder
is tearing down the wire fences which
have shut off the boulevard from pub
lie travel, and open up Morris avenue
through the Metsker tract. The Boule-
ward is a part of Morris avenue.
At one time the Gentlemen's Driving

boulevard, which was a straightaway
track nearly a quarter of a mile long.
For some reason the interest in the
club died out, and the organization
has not been heard of for long time.

CHOATE WITHDRAWS.
The Ambassador Retires From Mem
bership of Law Firm

New York Jan. 2.-After a continuous
service of nearly half century in the
law firm of Evart, Choate & Beaman.
Joseph H. Choate has Withdrawn and
temporarily at least, will discontinue
the practice of law.
Mr. Choate communicated his inten-
ton to his associates sometime ago,
giving az his reason that his du. les of
state as ambassador from the United
States to England, have prevented his
active participation in the affairs of
the partnership for the last two years
and these duties would consume so
much of his time for several years to
come that it would be impossible for
him to pursue his law practice. Another
reason recited was that the recent
deaths of William w. Evart, Charles
Beaman and Prescott Hall Butler, would
necessitate a change in the firm name,
and he urged that such should be done.

a White Robin.

A few days ago Little Boy came
running into the house, calling ex-
citedly: "Grandmamma, come quick!
1t looks like a chickie, but it are
bird! 1t flies"
Now Little Boy has very sharp eyes,
and these same eyes are always finding
out something new and wonderful
about the birds and squirrels living in
the pines that cluster about our home.
So. when grandmamma heard him
calling, she put down her sewing i'm
mediately, and went outdoors with
him.
Its on the tennis-court. catohin'
worms" said Little Boy, hurrying her
along. There. see?"
Sure enough Running back and
forth on the lawn was what looked. at
distance, like tiny white bantam
hen.
Little Boy laid finger on his lips.
and carefully, quietly crept nearer to
the strange little creature. Grand
mamma did the same.
Now they could see that the bird
had a black cap and red breast like
robin, but the rest of its plumagc
was white. 1t had a robins way, talk
ing short, quick runs over the lawn.
stopping now and then to capture an
earth-worm. Catching sight of grand
mamma and Little Boy, ii flew to
nearby tree, uttering a robins sharp
note of alarm.
1T must be a robbin," said grand
mamma. And SO it was,-a robin
freak.
Since then we have watched It every
day. Poor little freak. He has rather
lard time, for his robin relatives are
not at all kind to him. They drive
him away whenever he comes any,
where near them, and seem to think
he has no right to the worms ON the
lawn.
AT first Little Boy wanted to inter-
fere with these unfair quarrels, but
papa told him that 1t would do more
harm than good; for it would frighten
the white robin as much as the others.
But we are all for the little outcast,
and we admire his pluckines and dig
nifty. He never picks a quarrel, but,
when attacked, he makes a spirited
fight for his rights. He is never dis
heartened unless outnumbered. Then
he flies off with dispairing cries. to a
tree-top. leaving his greedy relatives
in triumphant possession of the worm
field.
We hope that some day ne will con.
ouer and perhaps persuade the other
robins to take him into their commu-
nity.-Christian Register.
