Downfall OF Brazil.
Fpecfdl bU United Press Wire.


Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 25:-The
mutineers have signed an appeal to
President Fonfeca repenting their
actions and declaring they will re-
main forever loyal. Just before the
surrender the entire naval force that
was loyal to the government, consist
ing of twenty-five ships, prepared to
attack the vessels held by the mutt
neers. The Brazilian government
was preparing to torpedo its new
dreadnaughts If the mutineers had
not surrendered.
When the ships were captured by
the -mutineers they were plentifully
supplied with ammunition. Provisions
and coal were seized.
The mutinous crews Immediately ra-
Idfographed TO President da Fonseca
demanding the abolition of corporal
punishment, more pay In accordance
with bill recently submitted to the
congress and less work, the crews hav,
ing had long hours owing to the ships
being shorthanded.
They threatened that If their de-
mands were refused they would bonn
bard the city and the other Brazilian
warships In the harbor. The govern
ment did not reply, and after an inter-
val a bombardment began. 1t was
kept up throughout the night.
The mutinous ships, flying red flags,
began evolutions in the bay Wednes-
day morning. Loyal torpedo boat de-
stroyers took up stations at the end OF
the bay in readiness TO torpedo the
nutineers at the word of command.
At 7 o'clock the ships opened fire ON
the forts, which did not reply.
The senate has unanimously approx
ed a proposal to grant amnesty to the
mutIneers. The chamber will discuss
the same proposal. The newspapers
say that President de Fonseca is will
Ing to sign an amnesty as soon as it is
voted by the congress.
The damage done by the shell fre
was insignificant. Two children killed
IN the streets were the only fatalities

The sanctuary bell, intimating the beginning

TOM THE NEWSBOY.

Tom was in despair. For two days he had been
trying to set himself up in business, as a newsboy
and bootblack, but the big boys cued him, and the
people wouldn't pay attention to his cries. At last
the poor little fellow-he only s years old
crept sobbng into the railway station, out of sight
of his tormentors.
The girl who worked at the station went to
comfort him. 'EWhat is the matter?" she asked.
II can't sell paper" whimpered Tom, "and 1
can't get shine"
"Well maybe it's because you are hungry, and
don't look good-natured. Come and get something
to eat"
Tom was hungry-he had had no breakfast-and
the lunch from box which traveller had left did
make him feel better natured When he was fin
ished he was ready to questions-his father
was dead; his mother sick and poor; he must
earn his own and his mothers living
"But l can't earn nothing" he said again. "The
boys chase me off, and the people won't buy"
'What do you say when you ask for shine?"
"Have a shine?" The voice was disagreeable
whine.
"But you must be cheerful and polite if you
want to succeed. You must say, please, sir, have
a shine? Only five cents'" The girls voice was
animated and her face beamed
Little Tom caught the enthusiasm and smile
broke through his tears.
They started out to find customer.
"Theres man who needs a shine!" the girl
said.
a shinel' he shouted; "only five cents"
The man looked into the boys expectant face,
and put out a soied boot Tom fell to work, paus-
ing only to give the give the girl occasional ex
ultant glance. When he had finished he showed
her six cents the man had paid him.
did you offer the gentleman paper for the
extra cent? she asked
This was new idea and the boy darted away
again. The man Bought paper and gave Tom
another cent.
II must go now and take the money to my moth
err" he exclaimed.
The girl gave him the rest of the box of lunch,
and watched him trudge away in high spirits.
But there was a storm brewing among the older
boys. Business was none too brisk and the smaller
boy was likely to damage their trade. Tom would
fare worse than ever at their hands when he re-
turned flushed with success. So the girl told them
Toms story "And boys" she finished, "you don't
know how hungry he this morning. And he
was crying when found him."
"We'l give him fair show" they promised
heartily.
And little Tom has gone bravey on with his
own business, and has never been molested since

WHAT TWO PENNIES DID,

The day was warm and the sermon long; yet
such was the eloquence of the preacher that the
large congregation which filled the Church of ST.
Thomas, Paris, gave sign of Impotence or ia
tigue. One stout old gentleman, however, was
solitary exception. Seated in distant corner the
words of the text had indeed reached his ear, but
his attention had wandered from the pulpit to the
red and blue dots which danced through the stained
windows, thence to the motley crowd which sur
rounded him, and lastly to a small urchin who stood
leaning against one of the pillars.
This boy the picture of poverty, from the
crown of his rimless hat to his hobnailed boots
boots which would have fitted one twice his size.
But the crowning feature of his attire his coat
which was one mass of patches each of different
hue; and the onlooker fell to wondering whether
anything of the original material yet remained.
The lad himself seemed totally unconscious of the
oddly of his appearance and stood listening to the
with such rapt attention that the stout old
gentleman felt tacity rebuked, and finally made an
earnest effort to catch the purport of the preach
er's words.
The sermon, however, was drawing to its close;
and few minutes later the congregation had bro
ken up and streaming out of the church, the
stout old gentleman himself being caught up in
the vortex and deposited outside. As he started,
walking briskly toward the River Seine, he saw
the ragged urchin stop before beggar and drop
penny into his hat. The next minute the boy had
sped onward, until meeting a second beggar, he
the gentleman was unable to restrain his curiosity
"Loos here, youngster! What is your nameF'
"Jean Pierre monsieur"
"We, Jean Pierre, you don't look overburdened
with this worlds goods, yet here you throwing
away your money right and left"
The urchin thus addressed hesitated only sec
ond The Paris street boy is not shy, and the old
gentleman did not look so very formidable.
"You see monsieur, this is how it is. [ want
new coat very badly, and mother can't afford to buy
one; and the priest told us just how that what
we gave to the poor God would return to us many
times over; so [ thought that for my two pennies
God would perhaps give me a coat. They were my
pennies, monsieur; [ earned them this
ing by carrying lady's PARCEL"
The old gentleman had stood an amused and
interested listener to this quaint explanation As
he met the boys artless gaze his face softened.
"You will get your coat, youngster, never fear;
and to lose no time we will go and choose one this
very minute. Come along !"-Selected.
