ward manhood, and enlisted at the first
call in the list Iowa. and at the close of
| Later he transferred to the 9TH Iowa Cav,
in which he rose to be Il Captain. He
served on the staffs Of Gems. r. r.
Mitchell, c.. J. Stolbrand, w. NJ. Elliott
and G. NJ. Dodge. Altogether, in the re-
belliOn and the Indian wars afterward, he
had five years and three months of service,
and was several times wounded.
After the war he settled down in Fort
Scott to follow his trade of harness max
ing. He drifted into newspaper work,
edited a paper of his own awhile, studied
law as he could get opportunity, and pur-
sued literature and verse-making as 4 re-
Taxation. He was admitted to the bar in
1871, and Immediately began to forge to
the front. He has long been recognized
as one of the leading lawyers of the State.
He removed TO Topeka in 1893, and be-
came a member of the firm Of Gleed,
Ware & Gleed. which is on one side or
the other of nearly all the important cases
which come up. He was in Washington
few weeks ago, in connection with a suit
before the Supreme Court between Kansas
and Colorado, in regard to some irrigation
matters. He was invited to dine at the
White House, by the President, who has
known him for some time, and admired
his poetical genius.
Capt. Ware has a wide reputation in
the West for his poetical illusions. He is
a very versatile writer, and though he de-
lights in airy trifes, dialect and comic
poetry, he has written many things of the
deepest and tenderest feeling.
His nom de plume is ''Ironquill,' and
anything over that signature is eagerly
read everywhere west of the Mississippi.
His modest little book Of poems has been
favorably commented on by many eminent
critics.
He has been active in politics, and is a
welcome speaker at veteran gatherings.
He was five years member of the Kansas
Senate, and several times delegate to Re
publican National Conventions.
A man of high character, genial, frank
and soIdierly in manner, an eloquent
speaker. solid and able with all his bril-
iiancy, he is widely popular.

THE mAsHERWoMAN's so

In a very humble cot,
In n rather quiet spot.
In the Suds and in the soap,
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,

He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,

And | often used to smile.
More in sympathy than guile;
But ] never said 4 word
In regard 30 what ! heard
As she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monOt0neS the song
She WAS humming all day long:
with the Savior for Il friend,

OF the stories that are told
OF the miracles Of old:
But l know that hcF bchct

And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trile lonesome she,
Just as poor rs poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And, though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
Of Savior and friend
Who would keep her to the end.
! have seen her rub and scrub,
On the washboard in the tub.
While the baby, sopped In suds,
Rolled and tumbIed in the buds;
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in SpoOls:
She still humming Of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root In human needs;

From that washerwOman'S lip
Any song that she can sing,
ANY hope that songs can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.

For a family which has~the requisite
amount of nerve a milk snake is said to
be most charming and useful household
pet, as it will at once clear out all the
mice, and amuse the baby as nothing else
can. Families whose men folks are ad-
dicted to jags will continue to prefer mice
in the house to snakes of even the most
harmless variety.

which are all sufficiently clever to rank
him with the real humorists. He has writ

AS WAS to be, expected, all the papers
south Of Mason & Dixon's Line are wildly
yawping that Henry Clay Evans shall not
be allowed to resign. Of course; he hes
played for just this appreciation. He has
endeared himself to every unreconstructed
rebel by his incessant caiumnies upon the
men who saved the Union.
The National tribune., 1902-04-17

THERE is a very funny feature about
Capt Wares appointment. His bright,
breezy poetry has caught everybOdys at
tention, and the papers all want to quote
it and talk about it. This drives Evans's
phenomenal honesty, shrewdness, courage
and devotion from the center of the stage,
much to the disgust OF the Commissioners
of Pensions. Even those papers which
used to believe in his self-advertisement,
have become very tired of the same old
song, and turn to Gene Wares catchy
yerselets with a sense Of grateful relief.
In a week or two Evans's perpetual pos
ing will be as unregarded as last years
corn-Stalks.

teries.
Let them rest, let them rest where they fell
Every battlefield is sacred;
II you let them stay to guard it,
They will veil those spots with yalOr
Lik a spell
All the soil will seem implanted
With the germs of vital freedom:
Where they spent their lives SO grandly
Let them dwell;
Do not rank them up In fields,
Under pallid marble shields:
Let them rest and be cherished
Where they fell.
Let them rest. let them rest where they fell
ON the prairie, In the forest,
Under cypress, under laurel.
On the mountain, by the bayou,
In the dell.
Let the glOrics of the battle
Shroud the heroes who are buried
Resting where they fought 50 brayely,
Long, and well.
Do not rank them up In fields,
Under pallid marble shields;
Let them rest, let them rest
Where they fell.
