RED SHIRT AN ACCIDENT
Uniform Made Popular by Garabaldi
Was Not the Result Of Pre-
arranged Plan.

The most popular uniform of its
day-perhaps of any day--in Eu-
rope was the Garibaldi shirt, whose
prosaic origin was little suspected
by its adorers. In note to Mr..
Trevclyan's Garibaldi's Defense of
the Roman Republic" this origin is
explained by Admiral Wilmington
Ingram, who was in Montevideo in
1916, when and where the uniform
was first assumed: Its adoption
was caused by the necessity of cloth
ing as economically as possible the
newly-raised Garibaldi legion. A
liberal offer having been made to
the government to sell at reduced
prices a stock of red wooden shirts
that had been intended for the Bue-
nos AyreS market-now closed
through the blockade-it was
thought 10 good q chance to be
and the purchase was
therefore effected. These goods had
been intended to be worn by those
in the Saladeros, or great
slaughtering and sailing establish
ments for cattle at Ensenada and
other places in the Argentine prov
inces, as they made good winter
clothing, while by their color they
disguised in a measure the bloody
work the men had in hand LON

Zorro wIhg Trouble

Now, the very worst thing that might happen,
 you know
 Are the things that don't happen at all. We tdget and worry, lamenting and sorry, In the gasp of eXpectancy's thrall Apprehensive forebodings incumber our souls, Depression weighs down Ike pail, So we wear a long face with very poor grace And then nothing happens at all When we prophecy storms it is sure to clear of When our moneys gone something comes in And the thoughts of those bills which have
 given us chills
 Every month shouldn't make us grow thin For they fly down the past like the caves on
 the blast,
 We settle up, somehow, and why Do we bother and fret over what forget Before many days have passed by: We were not carried of by that terrible cough And in fact, twaSn't much come to think All our pains and our aches and our dreadful
 mistakes,
 Why they, too have slid over the brink Of the gulf that forgets; vet we still wiring our
 hands,
 Predicting some ruinous fall Approaching disaster we hail as our master And then nothing happens at all

TWO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Of the entire dozen or more constitu. tional amendments introduced in the legislature during the recent session, it was decided to submitted only two to the people at the general election of 1908.
 These are the pail tax amendment and the bond amendment. Both ha ve been voted on before, and the poll tax amendment was declared adopted, but the courts through technicality ruled that it had not been legally carried.
 The bond amendment was defeated because the people generally did not Understand the provisions, and dld not vote upon the xuestion at all.
 Every one is pleased with the opera tion of the poll tax qualification as a necessary safeguard to our election laws and the amendment will doubtless receive a handsome majority at the next election.
 The bond amendment is one that on ly effects cities and towns, and as a majority of the people directly interest ed are willing and anxious to try the new law those who are not affected vii doubtless permit them to adopt it.
 The legislature acted wisely in its se- lection of constitutional amendments a both of those passed are of vital i'm portance to the welfare of the state.
