In Boston Church Despite
Ruling PreSbyterianS

Brookline, Mass, April 16.-Rev
Edwin Curtis. deposed by the Boston
Presbytery on April l from the pas
torate of the First Presbyterian
church but reelected by the corpor-
alton last week, preached at fore
noon and evening Easter services to-
day. Rev. Hector Ferguson Of Bos-
ton, assigned by the Presbytery to
preach this forenoon. when informed
by the church officials that Mr.. Cur
tbs was to preach took a seat in the
congregation.
Another minister sent by the Pres
bytery in the evening took similar ac-
ton.
The pastor has served a probation
airy year in the church here. When
some members of the church COM
planned that he had acted frivolously
in connection with blessings asked at
his boarding house table and other
matters the Presbytery made an in
vcstigation and then informed him
that he could no longer act as pastor.
His friends rallied to his defense and
obtained majority of the votes at
the annual church meeting.
The church was we'll filled today
but very few Of those who have OPP
posed Mr.. Curtis were present. The
pastor in his sermons made no refer
ence to the controversy.

Gets the Worst of Bout With Bear
Near Moosehead

Happy Ryan of lockwood has dis
covered that he is not in "Strangler'
Lewis class. Happy had q wrcst-
ling match with an angry bear and
came off second best. That is to say
Happy came off second worst, for
there is no such thing as second best
in a bear fight. Either you lick the
bar or he ticks you. Happy did
not lick the bear.
One fine day, recently. Ryan was
bllSsfully driving Il four horse team
along q woods road near Moose
head lake for the American Realty
Company, when he spied a fat young
bear cub, rollicking in the sun.
Not being an expert on the habits
Of bears, Happy jumped out Of the
team. gathered the cub in his arms
and returned to the sled. The young
bear seemed to like his new protector
until the horses were started and
then the little fellow seemed to real
izc that he was a captive and let out
heart-stilling yell that was followed
by more and louder cries. Then the
fun began.
Tho mother bear, aroused from be-
hind a nearby boulder. raced after
the team. She clambered IN behind
the driver and the bowling cub.
Without waiting for the usual hand
shake that rrecedes wrestling
match. she closed in. Being a brave
man, Ryan held onto the cub. The

self also:
Upon striking the snow Ryan lost
his grip on the cub, which was
gathered up by its mother who, after
taking doubtful look at her prey.
decided that rabbits and berries were
more nourishing, and departed with
her young.
To Il brisk debate now in progress
on the merits and faults of bears. and
whether or not q bounty should
be offered for their slaughter, =. +.
Carpenter of Milo contributes the fol-
lowing in reply, particularly, to the
assertion of one debater that bears,
far from being vicious and blood
thirsty, are gentle as lambs. sociable,
lovable and as fond Of frolic and in
nocent merriment as children out Of
school. Says he:
