The following essay on pants was pre-
pared by a boy in our public school:
Pants are made for men and not men for
pants. Women are made for men and
not for pants. When a man pants for a
woman and woman pants for man
they are a pair of pants. Such pants
don't last. Pants are like molasses, they
are thinner in hot weather and thicker in
cold The man in the moon changes his
pants during the eclipse. Men are often
mistaken in pants, such mistakes make
breeches of promise. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants are
singular or plural. Seems to us that
when men wear pants they are plural
and when they don't wear pants it is
singular. Some men go on tear in
pants, but this is not so bad as when the
pants go on tear +. Smith & Co. will
add that their stock of pants is immense.
