LEAP FROG GAME
Fun Ran Fast and Furious at

PreceHress Was Away.
Special to The Journal.

Special to Inc Journal
Appleton, Wis, Oct. 23.-Four girls
are threatened with expulsion from
Lawrence university as a result of a
Trough house, in Ormsby hall last
evening, when the percePtress was
away and left the matron temporarily
in charge. Two, who are daugh-l
ters of well-known Wisconsin clergy
men, melted fifty young ladies
to "a rousing game of leap frog in
the reception room on the third floor.
The fun was fast and furious and the.
matron, Miss Lelon Wayne, attempted
to put stop to it, but the girls rushed
her to the stairway in a body and re
fused to stop their play until they were
painting for breath.
It is generally conceded that it is
impossible to play leap frog attired in
long skirts, but the girls persistently
refuse to say inswhat costume they en-
joyed the fascinating sport.
The fair co-eds had been living very
quietly in their hall for almost month
and were brinlming over for some kind
Of a joust. When the perceptress left
they embraced the opportunity and
girls who had retired were pulled from
their beds and made to enter the sport.
Nothing loath, they joined in until
fifty leaping and STOPPING girls made a
chain Of "frogs' that circled the re-
ception room.
