Old Mr.. Toad felt very web salts
fed with things in general and HIM
self IN particular. In the tlsst place
he liked the garden of Farmer
Browns Boy. This was his tifth sum-
mer there. He rather felt that it was
a. much his garden as Farmer Brown g
boys Certainly he had done his
snare to make it good garden. 1t
was the best garden anywhere around
ms was partly because Old Mr.. Toad
had so faithfully destroyed the cut
worms, slugs and all sorts Of harm
iu worms, caterpillars and insects
night after night
Perhaps this was one reason. why
he and Farmer Browns Boy wete
very good friends In fact. they were
the best Of friends Farmer Browns
Boy was very fond of OLD Mr.. Toad
and Old Mr.. Toad in his queer way
was fond of Farmer Browns Boy He
never minded in the least being picked
sp by him. Sometimes he would sit
IN the hand OF Farmer Browns boy
md talk to him, though OF course
Farmer Browns boy couldn't under
stand a word he said.

Sought All Over World

Will Claim Big Reward
Prospect Mystery That Pu,
Lost Magnate's Secretary
in Cell Will Be Explained

DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 14.Am-
brose Small, the Toronto millionaire
who has been missing two wears and
has been hunted all over the world,
was declared discovered here to-day.
The man believed to be Small has lost
his memory and both his legs have been
cut off below the knee. His discovery
is claimed by Frank Harty and John
Brophy, private detectives, who assert
they are holding him under guard in
private dwelling whose location they
refuse to disclose for the $4,000 re-
ward offered for the return of Small
Efforts to find the dwelling have
been futile and the mystery was added
to to-day when Brophy and Harty,
after making their first brief announce
mcnt, vanished and were reported to
have left the city. The detectives are
former members of the police depart
ment. The man held as Small was said
TO have been identified by means Of
pictures of the missing theater mag
nate.
Harty said last night that the veil
of secrecy thrown about the matter
was due to his announced desire to
make certain of obtaining the $4,000
reward. The police profess to have no
knowledge of the case.
The man the detectives are holding
IS reported to be mentally incapaci-
tated as result of gunshot wounds ne
is supposed to have suffered some time
age.
Harty and Brophy are said to have
had dozen or more photographs taken
of the man. The photographs are said
to show striking similarities to the one
Of Small sent broadcast at the time Of
his disappearance in December, 1919
Unadvised at Toronto
TORONTO, Ont, Aug 14.--Local po-
lice authorities stated tonight they
had received no word from Des Moines,
Iowa, that Ambrose Small, missing
Toronto theater man, was under sur
veillance there.
Mrs. Small was disinclined tonight
to give much credence to the reported
discovery of her husband, saying it
would have been natural to expect that
Harty or Brophy would have notified
the Toronto authorities Immediately
with a view to collecting the reward.
She said she had received no communi-
cation from either of them.
The reward of $4,000 offered for
the return of the missing man alive

 You must so conduct yourselves that your superior in rank shall re- spect you, your equals love you and those under your command obey you with a smile,'' the secretary said. You must be officers, but not snobs. Your commissions are in-bestowed unless you are free from a foolish vanity of rank.
 Pride should be yours, a very just and honest pride in your uniform. That pride may be best shown by so wearing that uniform that all must honor it and you
 Reviewing the deeds of the $navy, Secretary Denby bespoke in the new officers a spiritual consecration to duty.
 "If you are to be fit inheritors and transmittors of the glorious tradi- tions of the navy,'' he said, you must dedicate yourselves today to lives of Sef-Sacriffce and absolute devotion. Most particularly our countryS honor and material interests are in your hands,"
 Speaking as one 'twho has been comrades-in-arms with many men, Secretary Denby warned the gradu- ates to 'tshunt the dangers ashore as earnestly as you court those ahoat."
