Madame, what is the name of

BRIEF HISTORY OF 10Th U. S.
Organized by Order Of President, May
a, 1861, and Made Up Wholly
Of Volunteers.

In pon to a request for a brlel
history of the Twentieth U. s.. the Ma
tional Tribune makes the following re-
ply:
The Twentieth U. S. was organized
by order of the president, May 4, 1861.
as the Second battalion of the Elev-
enth u. s. 1t remained part of the
Eleventh U. S. during the war, and in
1866 was separated from that regl-
ment and completed as a separate
regiment. At the time Of the reor-
ga%nization Of the Eleventh U. S. into
a Interpolation regiment, the COM
mander was Col. e. D. Key ss. 1t was
made up wholly Of volunteers and OIL
GERS appointed from civil lie, the only
veteran at Fort Independence. where
it was organized, being orderly Ser
geant Parr. Some sergeanss from the
regular army were detailed to get the
men in shape, and who finally became
l~ieutenants. The Eleventh U. S. had
a very important part in all the bat
ties Of the Army of the Potomac, and
at the conclusion of the war was sta.
toned at Richmond, Va, under h i'm
mediate command of it's majcr, Thorn
as H.. Neill, brevet brigadier general.
The first field officers of the regiment
were Col. Frederick Steele, Lieut.. Col.
Louis D. Watkins and Maj. Thomas H.
Neill. These were all generals in the
volunteer army. The captains had
also attained high rank during the
war, and included such men as Gen.
A. S. Webb, Charles S. Russell.
Charles G. Pomeroy and John G.
Bates. The regiment remained in
Richmond, r%atrolling the city and act
ing as police for the preservation of
order and property. In 1867 it was
transferred to Baton Rouge. La. and
then distributed to various posts in
that state. where it remained for two
years on reconstruction duty. Lieu
tenant Colonel Watkins commanded
the regiment until his death. March
20, 1868, and vas succeeded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel George Sykes. In 1869 the
regiment was transferred to the de-
partment of Dakota. with headquar-
ters at Fort Smelling, MINI. 1t had a
%troublous times in keeping the Sioux in
order, and in 1877 was transferred to
the department of Texas, with Colonel
Sykes establishing headquarters al
Fort Brown. Colonel Sykes died at
Fort Brown, February 8. 1880, and
was succeeded by Col. Etwell S. Otis.
In 1881 the regiment was transferred
to the department of the Missouri,
with headquarters at Fort Leaven-
worth. In 1885 the regiment was re.
turned to the department of Dakota,
with headquarters at Bismarck. In
1891 company l, which had been dis
banded. was ~re-established as an In
dian company. and filled W with en-
listments from the Sioux, eros Ven.
tres and Assiniboines. This expert.
ment proved unsuccessful, and the In
dian company was eventually dis.
charged. The regiment is now com.
manded by Col. James A. Irons. Lieut..
Col. Arthur c.. Ducat and Majors Will
liam P. Burnhaln, Richard G. Croxton
and Frank D. Webster.

How He Reasoned.

During the excitement attending the
failure of a sutler with the Army OF
the Potomac, who was being closed
out by the sheriff, an Irishman who
had deposited his months wages with
the sntler was asked why he did not
draw out his money.
Faith, an l won't dhraw me money
out at all, at all
"An' don't yez know he'll lose yer
money OF yez don't dhraw 1t out?"
"Shure, an amt he better able &c
lose 1t than I ann"

DOLL soLAcED DYING MOTHER
kaneas Woman Took Substitute for
Her Dead Baby Down to
the Grave.

Trinidad, Colo.-It was only a doll
a big, golden-haired, 'shut-eye" doll;
but to the fever-racked mother who
tossed on tea%r-stained pillows in the
county hospital, it took the place Of
another little doll In a Kansas Gene
terry.
She cared for it as she had cared
for the baby which death had taken
from her. And as death approached
she Rugged the waxen image to her
breast and begged that it share her
grave.
She was penniless, a county charges;
In the potter's field. But her pleas
touched the doctors who attended her
and a little group of hospital attend
ants afterward stood beside a new
made grave in the Catholic cemetery
where lay the woman and doll.
The woman was Mrs. Florence STAN
eel of Great Bend, Kan. She came to
Trinidad two months ago, just a
month after her three-year-old girl
died. She had quarreled with her hus.
band, she said, and left her home.
One day she saw the big doll in a
store window. 1t was just the size
Of her dead baby. She bought it, and
from a trunk took the little clothes
her own baby had worn. With them
she dressed the doll. Around it's neck
she placed a necklace of beads and
earrings adorned it's waxen ears. 1t
was only a doll. but when her consti-
tuition broke down and peritonitis set
in, she took it with her 10 the hospital
to remind her always Of her own little
one. And thus it lay beside her body
in the morgue; and thus it was buried
by her side.
