The Buckskin Hunting Shirt.

The peculiar costume of the backwOOds-
men attracted even more attention than
their exhibitions of craftsmanship. Its pat
tern was borrowed from the Indians. 1t
consisted, first, of ash cOlOred hunting
shirt of coarse linen linsey woolsey.
Buckskin was worn in cool weather, but it
was too hot for summer wear. The shirt
had a double cape, and was fringed along
the edges and seams. Upon it's breast was
the motto Liberty or Death" Around the
waist it was secured by belt, usually of
wampum in which were thrust the ever
useful tomahawk and skinning knife. Some
of the men wore buckskin breecheS but
others preferred leggings of the same ma
terial reaching above the knees. and an
Indian breech clout, their thighs being left
naked for suppleness in running. Capt.
Morgan himself wore the breech clout dur
ing his fearful midwinter march through
the Maine wilderness to Quebec. his bare
thighs exposed to the elements and lacer
ated by thorns and brush. The rifleman's
feather in it, On his feet he wore buckskin
moccasins ornamented with squaw work il
beads and stained porcupine quilts Shoulder
belts supported the canteen, bullet pouch
and powder horn. The officers we're distin-
guished by crimson sashes worn over the
shoulder and around the waist, their only
insignia Some of the officers disdained
swords, preferring to carry rifles, like their
men, Col Roosevelt calls the hunting shirt
"the most picturesque and distinctively ma
tional dress ever worn in America 1t was
adopted by the backwOOdsmen because it

There is NO greater rascal in public life

In no occupation and yet he is enormously
rich. He has made Pennsylvania a hot-bed
Of corruption. There has not been an honest
election in Philadelphia since Quay became
the undisputed boss of the state. Decent
men shun him. and only suspects like Tan
ner consort with him.
1t 10 not strange that political jobber like
Tanner should exult over the failure OF JUS
tice in the case of Quay. But Tanner should
be less spectacular in showing his sympathy
for rogues. He has no right to insult the
People of Illinois by conspicuously exulting
at the triumph of wrong over right He
should reserve his sympathy for his friend
Delos Baxter, against whom the Chicago pa
pers are publishing the gravest Of charges
John r. Tanner has a character and a
record Of his own which need mending. It
Is enough for the decent people Of Illinois to
know that such a man is governor and it
simply adds to their regret and disgrace
that he should hasten to extend sympathy
to the monster political rogue of our coarse
political system.-Rockford Star.

It Is meet that John R. Tanner should con-
graduate Senator Quay on the failure of a
jury to send him to the penitentiary. Tan
ner and Quay are birds of feather. The
man who goes on annual poker jaunts. who
signed the infamous Allen bill, the notorious
gas bill and whose whole life suggests the
political rowdy and border ruffian. is the
proper person to extend sympathy to a cor
ruptionist like Quay.
Quay was acquitted, not because the Jury
