wonderful mind.

his work immensely. after the years
of preparation so often interrupted
by periods of i'll health. lie had writ

doubtful of success but during the
early part OF his last illness he
learned that the case was won.
Mr.. Bull had the grcstest love for
Squirrel Island, where he had passed
about 10 summers with his family.
In earlier years he made three trips
TO Europe, where he received part of
his education. He took great inter-
est in the sports of the island, par

George Kelly, sang at one Of the mu-
steals a song, "She Is Not Fair to
Outward Eyes" written by Mr.. Bull,
which was particularly well received.

amusing rhyme.

nue. Presbyterian church, which he
always attended.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Clifton e. Bull, his sister, Miss Har-
riet Bull and younger brother. Mas
