PLAINTIFFS ALICE THAT PRES
BYTERIANS HAVE CHARGE OF
ALL TEMPORAL THINGS OF

Local Presbyterians are watching

ments in the fight between the union
and nonunion Cumberland Presbyter-
ians of Indiana in reference to the alb
sorption of this branch of the church
by the regular Presbyterians. AS the
next meeting of the Indiana synod is

is all the greater.
Another chapter in the history of
the conflict between the union and
nonunion factions i'll Knox county was
begun by filing injunction proceed
ings in the Knox circuit court.
The plaintiffs allege in their com
plant that they, because of the union
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church and the Presbyterian church,
being officials of the Herman Presby-
terrain church, have charge of all the
temporal things of the church, as the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, in
uniting with the Presbyterian church,
gave over all its property to the unit
ed church to be used as the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
might direct They also allege that
the defendants claim they have a
right TO the building because they are
still Cumbe rland Presbyterians, and
that they have cOnspired to prevent
the plaintiffs and the members of the
church from holding services in it.
Charge Tr-spass.
The plaintiffs allege that the defen
dants have wilfully and wrongfully
trespassed upon the premises of the
church, and in the church, blocking
on divers occasions, the entrances

defendants have nailed up the doors

| facings, fastened the doors with locks
and chains, and that they have dam
aged the building in various ways.

sects Defy the Freshets.
There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence, and the driver
ants not only build boats, but launch
them too. Only these boats are formed
of their own bodies.
They are called drivers because of
their ferocity. Nothing can stand be-
fore the attacks of these little crea-
lures. Large pythons have been killed
by them in a single night, while chick
ems, lizards and other animals in west
ern Africa fee from them in terror.
To protect themselves from the heat
they erect arches. under which numer-
Gus armies of them pass in safety.
Sometimes the arch is made of grass
and earth and is gummed together by
some secretion, and again it is formed
by the bodies OF the larger ants, which
hold themselves together by their
strong nippers while the workers pass
under them.
At certain times Of the year freshets
overflow the country inha bited by the
drivers" and it is then that these ants
go to sea. The rain comes suddenly.
and the walls of their houses are
broken in by the food; but, instead Of
coming to the surface in scattered hun
dreds and being swept off to destruc-
ton, out of the ruins rises a black
ball that rides safely on the water and
drifts away.
At the first warning of danger the
little creatures run together and form
a solid body of ants, the weaker in the
center. Often this ball is larger than
a common cricket ball. and in this way
they float about until they lodge
against some tree, upon the branches
Of which they are soon safe and sound.

Trick the Harvard Lsmpoon Played
on the Crimson.
Speaking OF the Crimson, Harvard's
daily newspaper, reminds every Har-
ward man of the Lampoon's master
stroke-or joke-played on that digni-
fed and unsuspecting sheet on Me-
mortal day. 1901. The Crimson had
announced that it would not appear on
that holiday. but incOnspicuously, so
few were surprised to ind their Grim
son at their door that morning as usu-
al. Their surprise began, however,
when they scanned its contents. This
always serious sheet seemed to have
become most frivolous and irresponsi-
BILE during the night, for in its columns
all sorts of weird and fantastic state
ments appeared.
The news. though clothed in the usu-
Al heavy, dignided Crimson style. was
wildly revolutionary in character.
Among the items that appeared were:
a Plot 10 Blow Up Memorial Hall
strong Men TO Get the Varsity H
wellesley Crew to Be Guests of the
University" and most important of all
a notice. "Lampoon Celebration at I
Tonight" Then the joke came out
The Lampoon had published the IA
nous fake Crimson" the joke was
known throughout the country, and
that night Lamps sanctum was the
scene of bacchaualian revelry. When
the following year the Crimson editors
sat up all night with injunctions
against a repetition OF the fake the
joke was again on them. for Lampy
differs from history in that he never
repeats hf1nself.-k. B. Townsend in
