Daring Timber Wolf
Bars Public Highway
Unlike Usual Animal Of His Species
He Makes Bold Stand When APP
preached by Man.

ONTONAGON. MICH, June IA
Somewhere in the woods between the
village of Ontonagon and the Nor
witch mine there is a curious timber
wolf
He was espied by John Ferguson.
This wolf is curious because, unlike
others Of his specie, he presents a
bold front Ferguson was walking to
town from the mine. He saw a wolf
in the road. Contrary to the usual
procedure, the beast stood its ground
as the man approached. Ferguson
procured a club. The wolf waited
until the man was but a short dis
lance away and then it leisurely re-
treated a few yards into the woods.
The animal watched Ferguson as he
passed. after which it returned TO the
road and followed the walker closely
for a mile or more.

WRITESPASTOR
KISSED HEROINE,
NOT 40 TIMES
St, Louis Woman Says She
Thought Minister Was About to
Pray Instead of Caress.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Mrs. Theo-
dore ]. Ferguson. of No. 1925 Walton
Avenue, has now come forward with
her version of the kiss that made St.
Louis famous and brought under IN
vestigation the Rev. Charles NJ.
Rauch, pastor of the Cote Brilliante
Presbyterian Church.
The board OF trustees of the church
exonerated Pastor Rauch, and Mrs
Ferguson thought this was out Of
order.
Wept Over Exoneration.
Mrs. Ferguson thus tells the story
of the kiss:
Il am not Of a vengeful spirit and
I dislike very much having this at
fair resurrected. But / almost cried
my eyes out when l read that Pastor
Rauch had been exonerated by me
and my husband and the trus;ses.
Il have forgiven him. but l have
never said a word indicating that
he was not wholly to blame for what
he did. His friends are insinuating
that l encouraged him to kiss me.
That is extremely unfair. as Pastor
Rauch himself knows 1t is false.
Il regret the report that the min
lister kissed me 40 times. He kissed
me but once. 1t was in his study
and never returned there alone.
I'VE we're alone in his study and
when we had finished our consulta-
ton he arose from his desk and ap-
preached me. l thought he was GO
ing to suggest that we offer up
prayer In behalf of our duties, but
instead he kissed me on the brow.

would have permitted the matter to
drop there. but 1t worried me so that
l told my husband.
He wanted to go to the minister
at once. but l prevailed upon him to
remain calm, and that is why he did
not report the affair to the elders
for several weeks.
I have a husband who is good as
gold and two OF the best little chill
dren on earth. Why should l encour-
age Pastor Rauch to kiss me? His
friends ought to be ashamed Of them

er l am compensated by the love Of

fees made.

as pride or stubborness, but / can
truly say that in ministering to my
loved ones and TO such friends and

am conscious of pleasing God as well
as myself. | am not at all tempted
To refer to my sacrifices There is
