made him a complete eskimo suit, in
which he looks very cute" indeed. 1t
is a fact worth mentioning that Archi-
bald Roosevelt goes to school every
morning in the White House market
wagon, which is considered q good
enough vehicle for the transportation
of a Presidents son. The wagon be-
longs officially speaking, to the stew
ard of the executive mansion, and is
ordinarily employed for bringing pro-
visions to the kitchens. But at $3.50 a.
M, five days in the week, young Arch
ibald is loaded aboard the cart and
headed for the educational establish
ment of his parents choice.
Capt. Eugene F. Ware. who has re-
Gently been appointed Commissioner of
Pensions, his talented wife and learn
ed daughter. are persons of strong in
tellectuality-of whom Washington
society already stands somewhat in
awe. A common soldier during the
Civil War, he came out a captain of
Iowa volunteer infantry and settled in
Fort Scott, Kan, where he opened
harness shop, wrote poetry and studied
law. He appears to have been sue
cessful in all those varied lines, for he
accumulated considerable money, was
admitted to the bar and became a
Judge McComas. In 1874 he married
Miss Jennie Huntington of Rochester,
N. Y, a Vassar graduate, who came
to Fort Scott to teoch in the public
schools. Mrs. Ware is an energetic lit
tie woman, bright, pretty and clever,
and for twenty years their home was
a literary center in the Western town.
She has always remained an eager
student and her husband says, "Oh,
she's a member of every woman's
club in the state of Kansas" She is
also active in church work. philanthro-
pies and charities. Miss Abby Ware,
the eldest daughter, is also a Vassar
graduate and very bright and charm
ing girl. She is at present teaching
Latin and constitutional law in the
Topeka High School. Panette Ware is
a freshman at her mothers Alma Ma
ter, and the youngest daughter is in
school at Topeka. There is one son,
Eugene, Jr.. who is studying law at
the Kansas State University. Mr.. Ware
tells with pride of his vain endeavors
to get his son interested in ship
building. He went so far as to make
application for the sons entrance into
the best university of the country, and
selected a roommate for the lad. But
it was useless; Eugene, Jr., was too
much his fathers son. After listening
quietly to all his fathers plans and
favor of the profession of ship-build-
ing, he would always end the discus
sion by saying, That's all so, father;
but the law is good enough for me-"
The new commissioner has long been
deeply interested in educational mat
ters He was instrumental in securing
for Topeka it's fine public library, a
large portion of the funds and books
having been donated by himself: and
as a lawyer public speaker and state
senator he is known throughout the
West. President Roosevelt has long
admired Mr.. Wares poetry and evil
IDENTIFY likes the poet as well as his
verse.
