The News is publishing another

until he was told of it after he had
slept off his stupor, the next day.
And the jury acquitted him! Here
was good opportunity for the South
Carolina papers to say something.
The recent advent of the Banda
Rossa, at the old exposition build.
ing, Minneapolis, was pleasure to
those who so much admired the mu-
sic made by this aggregation of art
lists on their former visits. And
this recalls Iaughable incident in
connection with their name. Banda
Rosa means, in Italian, red band.
When the band was organized, years
ago, it adopted a red uniform which
it wore on all occasions. This gave
it the name Banda Rosa, or red
band of Italy, which name is now
recognized throughout the world.
When the national league of Re-
publican clubs held an annual meet
ing in St. Paul few years ago, the
reception committee of the twin
cities gave the delegates trolley
ride to the different points Of inter
est. At this time the Banda Rosa
was playing it's first engagement at
Lake Harriet, and seven carloads OF
delegates we're taken to Harriet to a
free concert. The program, which
was much enjoyed, closed with a
medley of national airs that fairly
took the audience off it's feet. AT
the close an enthusiastic delegate
mounted a chair and proposed three
cheers for "Mr. Rossa." The cheers
were given with all the lung power
present, and there was lots of it,
many being from Indiana; but the
man who proposed them probably
does not know to this day what
caused the members of the band to
laugh so heartily. W. M. T.

cause it is so. In order tEat 1t may
encompass the heads great breadth
1t must be bought little too loose in
it's other dimensions. Some Germans.
who are particular, have their hats
made to order on this account.
II sell hats all over the United

Chicago man has the biggest head in
America. The Southerner has the
