litical game in a quiet, dignftied 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
time, he was assistant editor of the
Hawkeye and started that paper on
it's road to celebrity as funny paper.
When Captain Ware retired Bob"
Burdette succeeded him and the paper
became much quoted for it's funny say
ings.

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 IL 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 and the friend
ship between the Rough Rider colonel
and the frontier poet was promptly
evident and sincere. Three years later
Ware was appointed commissioner of
pensions.
He leaves a widow, one son, Eugene
F. Ware, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs
Abbie Neiss of New York, Mrs. S. r

Low Broad-Tired Wagon.

labor in the same amount of time, to
say nothing of the wear and tear on a
mans back and body.
Almost every year farmer buys
some implement that he can use only
during one season of the year-per-
haps only a few days; but the low
wheel wagon is something that he
can use every day in the year.
The broad tires make the draft
lighter, and that means saving the
team. Of course for certain kinds OF
road use there will always be a de-
mand for the narrow tire wheels, but
on a smooth surface and particularly
where the ground is soft the pull on
the team is decreased 25 per cent to
SO per cent for the simple reason that
the broad tires do not sink into the
ground; the wider bearing surface Of
the tire distributes the load in such
a manner as to buoy the wagon up
and keep it on top of the ground.
Especially on plowed ground or very
muddy roads these wheels do not mire
like the ordinary wheels, which OF
course makes the saving on the horses
even greater.

Bafflinq the MOSQUITO.

Last summer we were peStered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom at midnight. The following
day I took wooden cloth, put a little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh of the screens
with it. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or
three times each week | rubbed the
screens in like manner, and we en-
joyed peace the rest of the summer.
The odor from the oil remains only a
few minutes, and the oil itself pre-
serves the screens and keeps away
flies.-Good Housekeeping Magazine.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
q Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired jul
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
poasable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unWholesOme food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical cOndition--as a preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. l have been

CAS- to its nutritive qualities, my ex-

Grape-Nuts is superior to pound Of

tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
