II will no doubt interest feminine
readers to learn that the slit skirt is
not exclusively a feature OF latter day
civilization. It seems, indeed, to be,
as some male critics have suspected,
q product Of savagery. Where the
idea originated is not quite certain.
1t has been variously attributed to-
Paris and New York. The discovery
has now been made that this latest
creation in female attire is in vogue
in places where no white women and
very few white men have ever set
foot, and most of those who have ven
tured there have been killed and eat

ternal affairs regarding his recent ex-
petition up the Fly river, in Papua.
Judge Murray states that he visited
parts of the territory which, so far as
he was aware, had not previously been
explored, and one of the most inter
esting OF his discoveries was the fact
that all the women in one of the tribes
were wearing slit skirts. This style
OF apparel seemed to have been in
use for many years.

.. RELIC Of c, 5, CRYNE

Editor of the PRESS:
Referring to an article in the cur

"Will Teddy Keep It," will say that
have in my possession a rocking chair
that used to be "Teddy's."
If it should transpire that no one
will have this relic, I shall be more
than glad to get this relic of the ear
liest souvenirs of that renowned
gentleman.
l have been fortunate in getting
some very interesting things that
have been lost or left during battles
on the prairies of North Dakota, viz:
A fiint-lock saddle rifle from the Kill
deer battle field, Remington cap and
ball revolver probably as old as
almost any of the earliest revolvers
made.
! have also 12-pound explosive
shell, brought me from near the Can
adian boundry, north of Glendive,
vest OF the Yellowstone river, by
Clarence Eldred some years ago when
ne was shearing sheep in that coun-
try.
This shell, it is almost certain, must
have been thrown at the retreating
Indians under Sitting Bulls command
when he fled before Gen. Miles across
the boundry line to freedom from fur
ther chase.
The saddle rifle mentioned, was
found by friend of mine and brought
to DICKINSON many years ago and left
with Walt Ballard who gave it to me.
