der" as the lion calls him, refused
TO submit TO the remarkable test
which he had himself proposed, but
agreed to fight as they were. The
anteater loudly shouted fake" and
skin pugilist," and other abusive
names at him. 1t sounded, so Shem
said, just like an actual gathering
OF genuine prizefghters arranging
a meeting. The orang asked the
anteater where he had ever got a
reputation and who had ever had
the pleasure of meeting such a stiff
in a ring. The anteater sneered
and, looking very contemptuously at
the simian, asked him if he wore

Your feet said he, look like

had a better gift Of language than
the anteater. 1t surely looked like
a fight was coming OFF, but the peli-
can spoiled it. He whispered to

Cling in the water at once. There were
few casualties because of the effect

President Van Hise.
The rocky beach had been cleared
of boulders, the precipitous bank
transformed into gentle slope and a
fair play committee of twenty five
husky guards stationed on the rushing
field to keep the rushers from doing
undue damage to each other. The
freshmen far outnumbered the sopho-
mores and were we'll organized, but the
sophomores by gaining absolute control
of the gymnasium doors were able to
and so ducked the beginners in relays
until they became too numerous. Then
the 200 sophomores were quickly
soused and trampled upon and finally
driven from the field.
Last night BOO freshmen paraded the
streets with night shirts over their
citizens clothes, singing and yelling
defiance to the sophornores, but no
sc7hs dared to take up their challenge.

over sophomores has been hitherto I'M

The Church and Sociology.
rRecnrd Herald

Jenkiu Lloyd Jones was not very
fortunate in his illustration OF the
paralysis Of the churches. There are
he said, 1000 ministers in Chicago
today, and the Angel Gabriel couldn't
rouse them up for a reform demon-
stration. The 1000 saloonkeepers
work as unit for their interests.
The church is the most disintegrated,
least organized industry in Chicago"
1t happens, however, that the church
has just played very effective part
in the overthrow of the saloonkeeper.
1t was the most important organized
factor in the anti-crime crusade; 1T
made the $1,000 license possible, and
its influence in certain wards pre-
verified the defeat Of aldermen who
had voted for the increased fee.
Upon the liquor question the old
fashioned religionist is apt to be very
much more uncompromising than the
sociologist whom Mr.. Jones holds up
for model, and If we need new
pulpit, ''the object of which will be to
teach, civic progress, not theology" 1t
is by no means certain that we can
dispense with the old pulpit. Possibly
the two might act as compliments of
each other, and much depends upon
what is meant by theology" There
