the French in 1871, his servant carried
it in small Satchel Once woman,
who was called in to do his washing,
ventured TO remark that she could not
find his shirts, my shirts! have but
two he replied. "You must have one
in the wash, have the other on. With
little order and calculation, two shirts
are plenty" Garibaldi's philosophy
was never surpassed, unless by that
Kentucky gentleman who possessed but
one shirt, and was accustomed to lie in
bed one day each week to have the sa-
cred garment washed. One morning,
while he was at rest, his wife rushed in
