Skirts Discarded.

Attica. o., Aug. 1s.-A night visit to
the swamps and marshes around Atti-
ca reveals strange sights. Frog hunt
ing has become a fad among the young
people. and the girls have entered into
the sport with as much zest as the
boys. When they first began the sport
the girls put on rubber boots. gathered
their skirts under their arms. took q
torch In one hand and a spear In tho
other. and bravely waded into the
marshes.
But skirts proved an intolerable
nuisance. Hunting was done at night.
with nothing but the frogs and stars
to see them. and they always went
in companies escorted by their own or
somebody else's brothers. What was
the harm II they didn't wear skirts?
Reasoning thus. each fair huntress
provided herself with a pair Of trou-
sers, got them In the regulation way

a shirt waist. tucked her breeches into
the tops of her rubber boots and went
out to seek and to slay the festive bull.

for those girls at once. and they easily
distanced the boys In the amount OF
game taken. Now the swamps are filled
nightly with hunting parties. and
prominent among them are the panta.

abundance Of soldiers. arms and am

directly responsible for the riots. He
