TIE BEL.TED j PLAID.
THIS Was the Orisinal Dress of tho.
Sc0ttish IlIxhIunder

H. W
The original dress of the highlander
was the belted plaid. THIS was a
piece OF tartan cloth, two yurds broad
and four long, which wus drawn
around the waist IN nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckleti with belt.
The lower part came down to the
knees In much the same manner as
the modern Kilt, while the upper part
was drawn up nnd adjusted to the left
shoulder, SO TINT the right arm might
be perfectly free. This upper part was
the plaid, which was used as covering
for the shoulders aud body in wet
weather. and when the use Of both
arms was required it was fastened
across the breast with n brooch, often
curfously enriched. a brooch was also
used to fasten the plaid on the left
shoulder. TO attire himself III the belt
ed plaid required on the part of tho
highlander no small amount Of dexteri-
~. The usual way was to lay 1t OH
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down upon 1t and then
buckle it on. The lower end was fas-
tened ut the right hip. The utility of
such dress in the highlands is OBJ
vious, for the plaid rendered the mnn
indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass night In the open air in the
most inclement weather, while the loose
underSarment enabled him to wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ensc. 1t was thus peculiarly adapted
to the warrior. the hunter aud the
SheDherd -, ondon Mail F27.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken from St. Paul Papers Of
Forty Years Ago.

4 smith 1t mas always D06n no
torious that party politics in
this city and county are more
corrupt than anywhere else in
the state. Votes on both sides
are traded off to an extent
which has almost disorganized
both political parties. For
this decentralization of both po-
litical parties in this county
one man-Bob Smiths main
ly responsible. Protesting to
be Democrat, solely for the
purpose of securing the Demo
cratic nomination for county
treasurer, it is nevertheless no
torious that he has almost I'M
iformly been elected by Re
publican votes, purchased at
the expense of the rest of the
Democratic ticket. And as the
Republican party is the great
est loser by hissinsidious and
disorganizing arts, it behooves
every Republican to make
special and strenuous efforts
to secure the election of Rich
ards Gordon, who joins to eve
ry other qualification for the
position the advantage of be-
ing universally liked and es-
teemed by all who know him.
The stain of suspected corrup-
ton will rest on every Repub-
lican who casts his vote next
Tuesday for Bob Smith, when
their own ticket presents a |
candidate so perfectly unex-
as Richards Cor
don.
Besides, everybody is tired
to death of Bob Smith. We
have been dosed with Bob
Smith year after year since the
deluge. We have had Bob
Smith for breakfast, Bob
Smith for dinner, and Bob
Smith for supper, and Bob
Smith on week days and Sun
days. until the public is stated
and gorged and pale | with
repetitions of this
sweet oil and molasses candi-
date, and everybody is dead
sick and tired of the saccha-
rine and oleaginouslBob Smith.
The people pine for change
of diet; they beg for at least
one season of relief from the
and everlasting Bob
Smith. The only escape from
the dread alternative of anoth-
er two years dose of Bob
Smith is to vote for Dick Cor
don. Then again it is about
time to remind Bob Sf0ith that
public Office was not created
for his especial benefit. He
has amassed a fortune from it
already. Bob Smith doesn't
need the Office while Mr.. Cor
don does. Bob will use his
e moluments to injure the Re
publican party while Gordon /
will use them to aid the party. /
Constant success has made /
Robert careless, and the Cmon-
ey he has accumulated has
made him luxurious and indo-
lent. We want a new broom
in the treasurer's office to |
sweep out the cobwebs, and |
fresh air to ventilate the mus
ty books. 1t isn't safe to leave
so responsible an Office In the
hands of one man forever.
