SILLY TwADDLE

Everyone expected the June .u Transcript would attempt to make a point against the progressive papers of Alaska because Ot the rCappointmenJ of Gov.

Juneau, kgtchlSan, Nome and other localities dij not make any greater impression. They were also turned down.

"ThE BUCKTAlLS." :"
Origin of Name That stuck TO n
Volunteer Regiment.


Many have heard of the famous
Pennsylvania company that went by
the name of "Bucktails,'' but a few
only know how or why they came by
this curious name or who they were,
A veteran of one of the Pennsylvania
regiments thus describes this pletur
ssque aggregation:
THE .Bucktails' was the name of a
company raised in Bucks county, Pa,
and was one of the first to reach Wash
tngton after the battle Of Bull Run.
The members We're all mountaineers
who had spent their lives hunting deer
and squirrels in the Blue Ridge range
We're employed as sharpshooters
throughout the struggle. The reason
why they We're called 'Bucktails' was
not because they came from Bucks
county, as some have supposed. but
because every member wore the tail
OF male deer in his cap. They were
not known by this name at first, nor
was it designation invented by them
selves, but was given them by the peo-
pie of Washington.
They entered the capital, each man
wearing a bucks tail pinned to his
cap, and wherever they went the peo-
pie. not knowing who or what they
were, used to call them fBucktails.'
This name stuck to them throughout
the war. In fact, the men liked It, as
1t gave them distinction and notoriety
wherever they went"
