in a new $7 panama hat by the
grasshoppers, another found that
the entii e sweat band of Ins hat.
had been devoured and the third
found that the knees of his
trousers, as well as the pockets
had been partly eaten and a fab
ricated rubber belt which lie
wore was frayed around the
edges. All returned home fully
convinced of
uienance.—Electra News.
