Pastor a steenIelack.

The Rev. Warren l. Bowman, pastor
of st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
Church, created something of sensa-
ton in the village by ascending the
outside of the steeple of his church
at a point far above the belfry and
removing a large accumulation OF
honeycomb and its contents and driv'
ing out the bees. The bees were in
the habit of buzzing through tho
church during services and annoying
the congregation.
