Others there were who with difficulty
could trace their ancestry back 10 the
Revolution. Miss Alden did not have TO
engage a professional genealogist. From
father 10 son 'adown the years the story
OF Priscilla was told, her children's chill
dren telling It TO their grandchildren.
Miss Alden could draw her line Of de-
ecent as easily as she could write her b

Thus is her descent written in the book

reat-great-Sreat-greet granddaughter OF
Priscilla and John Alden. But how many
others have ever dreamed OF such a per-

or not the hexameters vibrate pleasantly

There are one or two other family ira

which Miss Alden confessed Priscilla

Stampeded by Beetles.

Indianapolis, Aug. 1.-THE talk Of the
town today is the black beetle plague Of
last night. Wherever there was a light
they swarmed, no part Of the city escap-
ing visitation. They flew against build
ings and dropped to the sidewalks from
exhaustion by the thousands. People
vending their way home were stampeded
by the black, loathsome insects, with
wings humming like buzz saws. They re-
semble the old-time punching bugss' only
more so.
This morning the sidewalks were black
with the crushed bugs. One bicyclist,
turning a corner rather sharply, smashed
so many that his wheel slipped from I'M
der him and he received a dangerous fall.
In every direction ladies could be seen
stepping gingerly on their toes, their
skirts well lifted and the air filled with
feminine CALCULATIONS of disgust at the
crisp squash underfoot, showing where
the beetles were yielding to their weight.
One young woman wearing a white
dress with a flimsy overskirt gathered up
46 of the beetles in walking two blocks,
giving her overskirt and gown a by no
means pleasant polka dot appearance
Thousands upon thousands of the beetles
lodged upon the awnings, and when the
sunshades were lowered today they fell
scramhling to the sidewalks and quickly
invaded the stores.
Amos W. Butler, a student of entomolo-
gy. finds himself unable to classify this
particular species, or to account for its
overwhelming appearance at this particu-
lar time. and he has forwarded collections
to Washington to be examined by the
government chronological department.
He does not believe, however, that the
beetles fly in swarms, and is rather in
clined to think that they were Matched
in this immediate vicinity.
The sudden fall in temperature tonight
prevented q return Of the
which has given SO much concern for the
past 36 hours. and, as compared with the
