KANSAS LOSES POET

Fort Scott, Kan.-Kansas lost hel
poet laureate when Eugene F. Ware
died at his summer home in Colorado
and western literature lost one of its
brightest geniuses.
Ware. known as "IronQuill," was 8
harness maker, lawyer, politician and
poet. In the minds Of his friends the
last should come first, but personally
he always belittled his ability as a
poet, and instead Of being proud Of
his success he spoke disparagingly OF

attracted attention and he went to To

this was: Il was afraid people

Htical game in a quiet. dignified way,
being finally rewarded with an ap-
pointment as commissioner Of pen
sions
After two years in Washington he
returned to Kansas and took up his
residence in Kansas City, Kan. firing
of city life, he retired shortly before
his death to Sungold Section, a fine
farm he acquired when he first came
to Kansas, and there he told his
friends he hoped ito die in the open %
His plans to die on the farm failed,
for he passed away soon after reach
ing Colorado, where he had been in
the habit Of spending the summers at
a place he owned on the Cascade.
He was we'll entitled to the appoint
ment Of pension commissioner, for
during the Civil war he had a bril-
liant career covering four years and
ending as captain of a troop in the
Seventh Iowa cavalry.
For one brief period Captain Ware
was in the newspaper business. This
was in Burlington, Ia, where for a
time, he was assistant editor Of the
HaWkeye and started that paper on
its road to celebrity as a funny paper.
When Captain Ware retired Bob
Burdette succeeded him and the paper
became much quoted for its funny say
ings.
Ware was born in 1871 in Hartford,
Conn, and was married in 1874 to
Miss Jeanette B. Huntington For
many years he was a familiar figure
in Topeka during session Of the Kan
sas legislature and his wit and humor
made him much beloved, both by poll
cal friends and opponents. He was a
member of the legislature in the early
SOS.
When he left the Office of pension
commissioner he wanted to show his
appreciation Of II heads of depart
ments under him. He bought II hand
some pieces of silver, exactly alike,
called the II men into his office where
the souvenirs were lined up on table
and said: Gentlemen You have
been good to me. Help yourselves"
The appointment Of Ware to be
commissioner Of pensions was due to
Roosevelt's admiration for his poems.
In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his
way to the southwest to attend a re-
union Of Rough Riders, he expressed
a desire to meet 'Ironquill" and a
message was sent to Ware asking him
to meet the train and travel with the
president He did so aid the friend

and the frontier poet was promptly
evident and sincere Three years later
Ware was appointed commissioner OF
pensions.

F. Ware, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs.

One of the cone-shaped hats, Of
which we may expect to see numbers
during the fall season, is shown in
the illustration. 1t is trimmed with
a full ruche of silk 'pinked" at the
edges and laid in quadruple box-plait-
fngs- Velvet fruit, like plums. cher
ries or even apricots, set in these
ruchings make a trimming chic and
striking. Velvet fruit, in fact, is de-
veloping so much popularity that it
will probably stay with US and add a
charming note to winter millinery,
and hats made of felt in the shape
pictured here are quite like to be
trimmed in the same way.
A model of black hemp, with a mod
erateiy tall crown, is also shown. 1t
is calculated to pave the way for ex-
tremely high-crowned models, or
crowns trimmed extremely high,
which Paris says, are to be a vogue
for winter. This soft-crowned model
makes use of the feather band about
the brim edge and is finished with a
cluster Of outstanding plumes at the
back An ornament made Of plated
ribbon finishes the trim, poised on the
crown at the right side.

TO PREVENT sAGGING SKIRTS
Have Garment Properly Prepared Be-
fore it is Turned Up to
Be Hemmed.

Summer dress skirts when made Of
thin material will always sag after
they are hemmed and finished if care
is not taken to prevent it. A good way
to do is to have the skirt sagged first
before it is turned up to be hemmed.
This is done after the skirt is com,
pletely finished excepting the hem.
from the band to the final fitting and
the last hook and eye is in its place.
The skirt is now hung in a closet OF,
better still, put upon a full-Iength
dress form raised from the floor by
placing it on box, and the bias por-
lions Of the cores weighted so they
will stretch to the fullest extent.
After several days of this strain the
material will have sagged to its full
est extent, and the hem may be meas
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing. The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tenn
porary coverings of muslin and pin
ned on, are excellent Any other small
objects Of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.

A Curious Fashion

waists show the skirt decidedly short

very noticeable. Even ballroom gowns
are cut on the same lines.

of these gowns, and his cruel remark
accurately describes the style.
