determined to get all he could.
"Do you take off twopence for the

Origin OF the Red Cap Of Liberty.

The red cap Of liberty had very pro-
sale origin. Instead Of being the
"Phrygian bonnet" it is just the galley
slaves headgear. The Swiss Of the
Chateaurou1 regiment sent to the gal
leys for their share in the Nancy riots
were released and came into Paris with
the red caps still on their heads. "They
are the victims Of despotism," said tho
people, forgetting the circumstances OF
the riot, ard so the red cap became the
favorite with the extreme party.
