In the. first plana, Nebraska has long had a leep Interest In and for the army of the lnl ted States, par ticularly Ino cavalry arm of the eervlce, to which the rioooi belongs.

Ariukarec, when the little bund of scouts under (Jeneral "Sandy" Forsyth stood off for three days almost the entire fighting strength of the Cheyenncs, till Big Foot fell In the Wounded Knac fight, when tho Seventh under General James W. Forsyth paid at least a portion of the Custer score, Nebraska saw an almost unremitting ae- . tlvlty on part of the red men and a conse quent unremitting stir among the soldiers. Roman Noao pulled off his spnctacular dem onstration la 18t7. Big Foot found the way lo the happy hunting grounds In 1811. After the great Sioux war In 1876 the In dians were closely confined to their reser vations, and with the single exception of tho raid of the Northern Cheyenncs, who objected to their allotment In Indian Ter ritory, and swept In an Indlgnnnt and de structive wave across Kansas and Nebraska back to their Wyoming habitat, Nebraska saw nothing of actual Indian disturbance. It Is owing to the fact that the northern lluo of the stats Is the south line of the great Sioux reserve that all this tinto a ehain of army posts, reaching from Omaha to the Black Hills has been maintained, moat of them garrisoned by cavalry. Thus Nebraska bss been kept familiar with both trooper and Hdtan. On the other side of the wedding Is a Nebraska girl, whose father has been part of Nebraska history. Colonel William F. Cody Is known through out the clvlllied world, but when he gets on this side of the Missouri river he is glad to becomo plain Bill Cody and grasp the hands and hear the voices of men he has known from boyhood. When ' Sandy" Forsyth and his little band of Kansas and Nebraska plainsnen were battling against the overwhelming odds that threatened them with destruction during these Sep tember days In 1867, Bill Cody was Just coming to be knowu as a skillful. Intrepid scout; when Colonel J. W. Forsyth led his men to victory In the Woundttd Knee af fair, Brigadier General W. F. Cody waa in command of the two Nebraska regiments assembled on the northern frontier of the state, ready to give atsaisJanra to the army should the tide of war voer to the south. In those twenty-four years the scout had achieved famo and greatness and fortune. His connection with tho army had long been severed, but be was and Is still en In timate term. with the real fighting men of the United States. And now his youngest daughter, who. llko her father, has grown up on the suu-klssed prairies of Nebraska, haa again united the Cody family with the army and given the old-time Net.sskans at least another reason for feeling an Inter est la lfc cavalry arm of the service. ""While the Sons of the American Revolu tion are looking ever the iamlly records for evidence to determine the connection of some far-removed forebear with the Wash ington army, here is a fine old gentleman whose father was one of General Washing- JXfe' ton's early volunteers. Just celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of his own wedding, and not feeling at all disturbed by the flight of time. Dr. James Dolson of Atlantic, It., was born In Steuben county, New York, In 181. His wife, Arloe Quick, was born la Monroe county, New York. In 1822. 6 he went with her parents lo Michigan, where young Dolson moved at the ago of 19. Here they met, and on February 19, UU, when the brido was 21 and the groom 2!, they were married. Today, at 85 and 81, they arc -both strong and hearty, and apparently an contented with their lot as at any time in their long and usi-ful lives. Dr. and Mrs. Dolson have been residents of Iowa since 1879. Mr. and Mrs. William Laughlin recently celebrated their golden wedding at Sargent. Neb. Mr. Laughlin was born In Bond county, Illinois. January 6, 1R31. His wife, Harriett, was born on the 27th day of Au gust. 1833, in Ashtabula county, Ohio. They were married on the 12th day of January, 1863, In Grundy county, Illinois, where they endured all the hardships incident upon a pioneer life. Mr. Laughlin enlisted In the Sixty-fourth valunteer infantry of Illinois, Company C, and was with Sherman on his famous march to the sea. He was mustered out of the service la 1865. During the ab sence of her husband to the war Mrs. Laughlin carried on Oe farm at home, car ing for rattle and working In the Held, carting grain to market and enduring such hardships as only the women of that time knew. In 1879 they removed from Illinois and settled on their farm which lies one mile north f Sargent. In the early '90s they retired from the farm and purchased the beautiful home in which they now re side and where they entertained their guests to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. Snow is one of the worst enemies of the wild animal on the range, but when it overtakes him In the comfortable quarter of a city park he can well afford to toss his hesd in merry scorn at the worst the elements can do. After tho heavy snow of February S the staff artist took his camera and went down to Rlvervlew park to find out how the beasts of the field held there in captivity liked it. He found the buffalo standing around on the hillside, looking an though they really enjoyed the few inches of snow the wind had left for them. The elk were not so fortunate. Their paddock is under the lee of the buffudo range, and here the drifts were so deep the animals could scarcely wallow through them. But they didn't seem to mind, as It was quite reminiscent of their mountain homes, the main diCtcrenco being that the keeper fur nished them with abundance of hay and other provender, whtle If they had been free In their native wilds they would have been forced to dine on snow balls and pine needles, a diet which no self-respecting elk takes kindly to. The deer, too, had a bet ter show than the elk. for their range Is larger and they were able to get plenty of clear ground, a fact that enabled them to fight shy of the camera man. The bears and that sort of "critter" were safely housed. In their comfortable dens and wouldn't have cared if the enow had been ten feet deep Instead of one. Naturally they arc accustomed to the groundhog's, vagaries, and this was only one more re minder of their dependence on him. Food comes regularly to these lucky representa tives of ,the western fauna and about the only difference the seasons make to them Is the changing of their, coat. Wa.hinrtnn's hlrthavv was this year made the occasion of a very ambitions ef fort by the teachers and children of Frank lin school, Omaha. For a number of years the teaching corps of this school has been working on a comprehensive plan for deco rating the school building. Money has been raised In various ways, and all has been expended In carrying out the details of the plan. This year it was expected that a sum could be raised by a concert on Washing ton's birthday which would go towards com pleting the general undertaking. The re mit was a very agreeable surprise for the. promoters, for the proceeds were more than enough to buy the pictures needed. In the picture nnly the rupils of the seventh and eighth grades are shown, for they are the ones who sang, but all the pupils of the school helped In some way, so that each has an Interest In the enterprise and Its success.
