The regiment ha. nerved at Fort Crook alnce September, 1907, and A I will be on the way to the Land tliu people of Omaha displayed an Interest In the members of the command which waa well appreciated by them. The regiment waa organized July 1. 179$, en account of threatened war with France, and discharged June 16, 1W0; commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Orovet. It was re organized January 11, 1812, for service In aar with Oreat Britain. May 17, 1816. It was consolidated with other regiments. Reorganised February 11, 1847, for and during the war with Mexico; discharged August 10, 1848. On the outbreak of the war of the rebellion was reorganized May (, 1S61, and served during the war In the western armies, participating In twenty -slght battles and engagements. It espe cially distinguished Itself as a regiment on many well defined occasions, the men tion of which la beyond the scope of this brief sketch. After the war tnere was again a reor ganization of the regular army. In 1866 the Second battalion of the Sixteenth became the Twenty-fifth infantry and the Third battalion the Thirty-fourth Infantry, leav ing the Sixteenth composed of the compa nies of the original First battalion. The close of the war found the regular army, like other branches of the public service, In an unsettled state. The Dumber of in fantry regiments waa finally ' fixed at forty-five and it seemed as if an efflolent military force waa now to be organized and maintained to provide against possible recurrence of the situation which con fronted the nation at the outbreak, of the war just concluded sit such a cost of life and property. But this policy waa des tined to be short-lived.. la 18X9 a general consolidation waa again effected, reduulng the number of Infantry regiments ' to . twenty-five. i The semi-polltlcal duties which the regi- lent was called upon to perform In the ment was called upon to perform In the outhern states from 1869 to 1877 waa of m nature most disagreeable and uninterest ing from the standpoint of a soldier. , The duties were, however, . executed in a most conscientious and . successful manner by officers and men aa exemplified by the dis tinguished examples of good , Judgment, Iscretlon and Uct displayed by the offl- cra in charts during ih Pkarii Kinhi.

On a platform on which the bridal party was seated was a huge pre sentment ot the head ot a clown Clown. In costume were the host, of the occasion. They paraded Into the ring and a moment later the bridal party entered from under the great hill of unoccupied seats.

On May SI. 1905, the Sixteenth again sailed from 8an Franciaco for its Becond tour of duty in the Philippines and took station at Fort William McKlnley and Malahl Island, the latter being the station of the Second battalion. The year 1908 found the entire regiment "best men," all clowns, to encourage the groom. Rev. F. Gordiano of Calvary Baptist church, wearing his black gown, per formed the ceremony When the clergy man had concluded there was cheering that aroused the animals in the menagerie to roar what was accepted as their con gratulations. The bride was presented with a bridle as a wedding gift. Several hundred circus men and newspaper men attended the wedding. An Eskimo Dride. Mis. Rachaei B. Blake, an Eskimo, and Clyde B. Slmson, son of Attorney W. B. Simson of Tonawanda, N, Y., were mar ried May i at the home of the bride groom's parents. Their romance had its inception In Mechanic. Institute In Roches ter. N. Y. Dr. W. T. Grenfell, a missionary, sta tioned in Labrador, thought that lt would be an excellent idea to have Miss Blaka educated in America for the purpose of teaching her people. Preparations were made and the girl advanced at an astonish ing rate In her studies, until she fell In love with the Tonawanda student at the Rochester Institute last fall. From the time Cupid's dart Imbedded It self in her heart she began to lose interest in her studies. Despite the efforts ot her tutors the girl seemed to loSo all Interest in everything except her love for Slmson. Mlbs Blake would have graduated this year, but the prospects of securing a diploma that would make her a full fledged teacher had no charms for her. The situa tion did not affect Slmson In the same manner, but he was enamored ot the charming student from the far north. He kept manfully at his studies-, for he, too, was to graduate this year. Her guardian was finally appealed to in an effort to ef fect a compromise between love and duty In the girl's case, but Miss Blake could not be prevailed upon to study In order to Veep up with her work. She was finally required to leave the Institute.. She was without relatives in this country or means of support, and Slmson came to the rescue. He finally summoned courage, called up his father over the telephone, made a full breaut of the whole business and solicited hi. parent', advice. "Why, my boy, this is a real surprise, Indeed," replied the father, "but you Just send the girl to u. and we will care for her until you art able." When Simson confided the glad tiding to his sweetheart the girl was radiant with Joy. When the graduation exercises had been finished and Slmson had been provided with his diploma he hastened to his home and sweetheart. He is Zi years old, while she Is 19 years old. A WIm lau abler. Once there wa. a "living skeleton" who bad a daughter, relates the Cleveland Leader. Now this daughter was so beautiful that all the grand vlaier. of the drama desired ber for their own. and many war. the offers that were made her. Colonel Gar- t the first named station doner assumed command In February of that year. The tour of duty at Fort Wll- Ham McKlnley was completed in August, 1907. The resrlment arrived in the United 6ta,tK!MeP.t,'mbe, "fad1u8rter8- s"ond1 and Third battalions taking station at Fort Crook, Neb., and the First battalion at Font Logan H. Roots, Ark.

Company L was temporarily absorbed by these three companies to form a maximum strength for the others. In 1908 the Second and Third battalions were at the target range at Watertown, 8. D., and later participated in the maneu vers at Fort Riley, Kan., and at the mil itary tournament at St. JoseDh. Mo., carry ing off the most number of prizes. In 1909 the two battalions held their annual target practice at Ashland, Neb., and participated In the tournament at Des Moines, la., again coming out the winning regiment. The record of the Sixteenth Infantry, aa a regiment, is without a single blot. One element of the regimental spirit is em- bodied in its motto, "Semper paratiM," "Al- vivi ,iHv" with nuiot mrioaiv it h prepared every emergency of service and has been exceptionally fortun- ' "t8 in th Dast beln often called un tar rvll:e- Reasoning from the part, u may b concluded that In the future - abundant opportunity will be offered for tha demonstration of its state of efficiency and Preparedness. Colonel Cornelius Gardener, the present regimental commander, and commander of Fort Crook, Is the only colonel In the army, who has ever commanded two volunteer regiment., during the war with Spain In Finally, she accepted the one that promised her the most shekels, the finest gowns, and the principal place in the front row. Then the prince appeared on the scene and The romantic didn't happen. The wise head of the living skeleton', daughter guided her. So she said to the prince, who in real life was Arthur Ingeroll Hoe, the millionaire heir of the great printing press business, that she didn't stand on the same plane socially. Moreover, her education was not deep enough or broad enough to fit her for the position she would occupy as hi. wife. When .he was worthy of him in these two respects ahe would marry him. This Evelyn Perry had saved a little , money. She worked hard and saved more. "Then, two or three years ago, she set about "finishing" herself, in the prescribed way. She went to a fashionable boarding school at Pelham manor. She studied hard; she observed more.' She was groomed and she was coached. When she was graduated, tiie other day, she was the prettiest and most distinguished girl of all her claas. And when young Hoe, who must be here set down as a fine fellow and a wise one, too, claimed her a week or so ago, the wedding was a social event In Washington, and both families, the multi-millionaire', and that of the "living skeleton," met on friendly terms. Some time the great business of the Hoe company wlll probably pass to the bride groom. He has shown good sense enough to bo able to run It successfully. If he should need advice, the wise llttlo head of his pretty wife will furnish it. Old Bills Provoke Sobs A woman who has been married seven years recently cleaned out a writing desk drawer that belonged to her father, whose death occuired a few months ago, and came across a bundle of receipts as big as a man's arm, tied with red tape and marked on the outside, "For Mary." She opened them and saw that they were re Ubipts for her trousseau bills. The woman's bent dress now Is a 60-rent wool, made by herself, and she has worn it two ears. When she read in the receipt, of lace she had put on a corset cover that cost II a yard, ahe grabbed for a fan, but had a fit before she reached it. She revived some what, but again scattered rugs over the floor when she read that her wedding glovte cost her father lt and her hose cost him $17. She wears 15-cent hose now, and fairly foamed at the mouth when she realised that some ot her wedding hose cost fci a pair. And wlien she came across a receipt of $17 for embroidering a sheet, she tore out all the hair ahe had pinned on her head and was beginning on that which grew there, when a merciful uncon sciousness overtook her. Her last thought waa of the sum total of the trousseau, and those figure, swimming before her eyes, and her husband', voice grumbling In the next room because the monthly ga. bill was 30 cent, more than a month ago, proved too much! She waa nineteen hour, coming too. Atchison Globe. 189S, and the Insurrection In the Philippines In 1899. Accepted commission as colonel Thirt.e.,.. Mihi. ni,in!P..

But linotypes are compara tively new, while stereotyping has been In vogue ever since the days of Dellegana, away back yonder when Ohio was an In dian hunting ground and New York was still going to bed by tallow candles. James Dellegana Is accredited by historians with having been the first successful stereo typer using papier mache process. The day ot the Dellegana triumph was many, many years ago, but if he could come to life again, R.p Van Winkle-like, long enough to wander Into Omaha during con vention week, lt may be reckoned here and now with unerring forecast that he would be given a welcome so warm that no "centrifugal fan" could cool it. So lt happens that the general public know, less of the stereotyper, less of hi. process, less of what part he play, in the great game of newspaper making less of him In the aggregate, than of any other department of the printing business. ' No, that dapper, natty young man who took your want ad over the business of f ce counter downstair, has nothing to do with stereotyping. The man who stereotypes the several men, to be accurate, for tn establishments like The Omulia Bee a force ot stereotyper. Is employed dous his work away back In the rear of the business of fice.

HARRY COHEN, ' a number of enlisted men of the Six- teenlh Infantry were lately transferred to infantry unasBlgned, at Fort Logan, Colo. in Omaha for Convention technically known a. a "chase," he moulds circular plates which fit upon the press. These circular plate, are a duplicate of the .yp b It come, from the typesetting ma chines, but instead of being an array of small particles it is a solid, compact plate. Thus, the printing is not done direct from the type, but from the plate made by the stereotyper. The novice naturally wonder, why the printing I. not done from the type as it is in small newspaper shops where flat-bed presses are used. The answer is found tn the fact that by the stereotyping process the rotary presses greatly exceed the speed of flat-bed presses, and In order that a rotary press may be u?ed, it is neces sary to curve the type to fit the cylinders of th: press and that can only be done by the stereotyping process. Of course, there are methods for flat stereotyping, but they relate to Job printing and do not have to do with dally newspaper making. Quoting Foreman Rowzee of The Bee's force: "When a form come, to u. from the composing room (a form 1. shop name for a page of type) to stereotyper. .tripped to the waist, save for oily undershirt ot thin gauze, no sleeves In the shirt, slide the form on the bed of a rolling machine.

Thus far but a fraction of a minute has elapsed, and In a few seconds more the form has been passed forward and back under the roller.

A minute later the matrix ha. been trimmed and is In the casting box. The stroke of a pump and tha cast i. made. Water is then turned on, so that the cast may be cooled.

The stereotyper'. work I. done but remember that this description cover, only one plate, land that It take, many plate, to cover all editions of a modern newspaper the very minimum under any press arrangement being one plate for each page." , No other department of a big newspaper ha. more work to be done within such a short space of time. When stereotypers work, they work. When they play, they play. Their on-duty hours are short, but the work Is like being on the firing Una while lt docs last. The stereotyper gets there on time, ring, the gong signaling the pressman to "get your starter," then he scrubs hands, arms and face with tar soap, don. his street garb and is out, care-free and bouyant, all of his troubles having been dumped Into the "metal pot." The stereotyper has been mentioned as the "gladiator" of the newspaper shop. And so he is, for the very nature of hi work is conducive to the development of muscle, and muscle is one of the com4 ponent parts of the gladiator. Truly, your experience among men Is somewhat abridged if you have never intimately known the stereotyper.
