He Pants for Fame"

\ boy in the Wichita schools has
been suspended for reading the follow
ing essay on pants"
''Pants are made for men and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men and not for pants. When a man
pants for woman and a woman pants
for man they are n pair of pants.
Such pants don't last. Pants are like
molasses; they are thinner in hot
weather and thicker in cold. The man

the eclipse. Don't you 20 to the pantry
for pants you might he mistaken. M,n
are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes make breeches of promise.
There has been much discussion as
t. whether pants is singular or plural.
Seems to me when men wear pants
they are plural, and when they don't
wear any pants it is singular. Men

DAGAMA SURRENDERS
THE BRAZILIAN INsURGENT WILL
THROW UP THE SPONGE.
He BOard a PortVxuese Vessels and
Sends Word to President Peixoto
That He and His Followers Will
Surrender IL Granted Protection.

Washington, March 13.--Adviccs re-
ceived at the state department to-day
from Minister Thompson at Rio Janeiro
indicate that the Brazilian rebellion is
about ended. The dispatches from Min
lister Thompson contain the information
that Admiral Da Cana has gone aboard
the Portuguese war vessel Mindelo, now
in the harbor at Rio. and has sent to
President Pcixoto by the Portuguese Of
ficer an offer of surrender on condition of
full protection for himself and followers.
Two dispatches were received by the
state department. They were in cipher,
end when translated, read as follows:
"Ieio dc Janeiro, March II, 1871
Gre. ham, Washington: Da Cana to-day,
through the senior Portuguese naval
commander, offered to surrender to the
president of Brrzil providing he and his
followers We're guaranteed protection
against punishment. Thompson"
"Hio Janeiro, March II, 1894. - To
Gresham: Da Cana has gone aboard a
Portuguese man-of-war for asylum.
,-''Thompson."
Secretary Gresham believes this marks
tie end of the Brazilian war. There
is considerable surprise expr .ssed here by
those interested in the affairs at Rio
that the offer of Surrender should have
been made through the Portuguese COM
mander who, up to this time, has not
stewn any particular disposition to take
IL land in the conflict. 1t is not thought,
however, that the action Of the Portu-
suese in receiving Da Cana is neces-
s:rily an act of sympathy with the in
surgents. The Portuguese are said to
recognize Il principle Of international
Nv, now obsolete, by which right of
asylum as it is called, is granted tenn
rcrarily by u neutral power to a de-
fe; ted belligerant.
