that is what Is the matter with you,
is ito" said he. "You got little rough
with Old Mr. Toad and he Taught you
a lesson. Well. guess you'll leave toaos
alone hereafter"
OF course, the little dog didn't I'm
derstand what Farmer Browns Boy was
saving, but he knew that he was being
talked to and that was quite enough.
Already he had made up his mind that
he would have Farmer Browns Boy for
a master, too. He had made up his
mind that he would no longer go rcam-
ing about and running away.
When Farmer Browns Boy started
for the house and whiStled for the lit
tie dog, the latter promptly bounded
after him. He was feeling so much bet
ter now that he could gambol little
in a feeble sort of way. Farmer Browns
Boy took him into the house and there
Mother Brown made much OF him.
where do you suppose he has come
from?" said she.
Farmer Browns Boy shook his head

piled. Il don't know of any one in
the neighborhood who owns a dog like
this. I guess we shall have to keep
him until some one comes to claim him.
Probably somebody viii appear sooner
or later"
Now. If the little dog had understood
what Farmer Browns Boy was saying,
and he could have replied. he would
have only too eagerly told Farmer
Browns Boy that he didn't want to go
back where he came from: that he
hadn't been happy there. but that now
he was happy and wanted to stay. As
a matter of fact. he had fully made up
his mind that he was going to stay.
He had made up his mind that he
wouldn't go no matter what happened.
He intended to adopt Farmer Browns
family. whether or not the family
adopted him.
So it was that the little dog found
q new home and a very happy home.
It seemed as if he would turn himself
inside out with Joy every time he saw
Farmer Browns Boy. Bowser the Hound
would have been quite excusable If he
had grown jealous. but Bowser has too
much sense to do anything like that.
In fact, he was glad to have the little
dog about. You see, Bowser wasn't SO
old but that he liked to play. once In a

The little dog feebly thumped the
ground with his tail. 1t was a stub
tail, for the little dog was wire-haired
fox terrier. Farmer Browns Boy went
into the house and brought out pan
of water. The little dog drank CRATE
fully. The water made him feel better.

OLD TREE GUARDS
 TRAIL Of ROMANCE
zlQ,as Ieun Si1 Signing of :. Traty NslG Broken

Council 0rove, Kaa.. May 10 H -Amorg tho legion of mementoes that enshrine. the Glamorous past of this old western outpost, an an- cient oak tree, warped and gnarled. is the holy of holies.
 Just over | century ago it's leafy boukhs lent shelter from broilinz midsummer sun to 2 little group Of government emissaries, met in it's shade to barter with the Osage chieftains for a peaceful way 10 the New Spain of the southwest.
 This was the birthplace of the Santa Fe trail.
 A pipe was passed around the circle and red men and white pledged friendship. To the ln- fans. the federal commissioners gave $500, and in return the Great and Little Osages promised safe passage through their domain for the white traders and adventurers following the trail to New Mexico.
 The pledge was never broken.
 The treaty was signed August 10, lS25, and as the em1SSarleS turned back to carry their report to President John Quincy Adams, one blazed on the oak the legend ''Council Grove" the name that was given the town, founded here on the banks of the Neosho in lS47.
 The folk of Council Grove like to tell their neighbors of the old kaw mission, where Vice President Cur tis went to echool and whence he fled when the marauding Cheyenn;As raided the kaW reservation in 1868: of the old hermit's cave: of Custer elm; of the unknown ln- dian's grave, and the fabled burial place of Friar Juan de Padilla. America's first Christian martyr.
 But the treaty oak is their espa- cial pride.

San Diego, Cal, May 10 R-Be- cause a famed German scientist whv was here for his health desired to eat a fruit for which he cultivated a taste in Australia, a new industry seems possible for a limited portion of the United States.
 The scientist is Dr. H. K. w. kumm. geographer, explorer and philanthropist. and his newest hob by has demonstrated that the trop- cal fruit of the passion vine can be grown in parts of America suitable to the growing of avocadoes.
 Dr. kumm has made nine of the 10 known edible varieties of the pas sion fruit bear here and is working with considerable success on cross pollination to improve the size and reduce the number of seeds.
 The varieties in production arc year. Tests have shown that an acre planted in passion fruit will yield from seven 10 eight tons year. k against the average ot three to four tons of the varieties grown in Australia.
 Some of the passion fruit on Dr. kumm's plantation is shaped and looks like the banana, while anot her variety is round and as large as a grapefruit.
 At the outset of his work three years ago, Dr. kumm was encour- aged by Luther Burbank, who had been experimenting with the fruit but found his own gardens were too far north.
 The United States department Of agriculture has given him a blanket permit for the importation of pas sion vines, and interest in the ex- perimetal work has been taken by the Smithsonial institution.
 The commercial production of tn" fruit has been limited to marketing of samples of syrup and jam and jelly flavorinss in San Diego, As the experimental garden could not meet the demand, the samples were withdrawn.
 The passion vine is no named be- cause it's flowers bear fanciful resemblance to the cross.

NEW INDIAN
 POLICY WILL
 BE TRIED OUT
Indian Bureau to Be Elim- mated Plans of Secre-
 tary Wilbur Announced

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Sec- retary of Interior Wilbur has out lined a new policy for the Indian Bureau by which it is intended to eliminate the Bureau within 25 years.
 The plan was announced after President Hoover nom n a e d Charles Rhoads, of Philadelphia, Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
 The fundamental aim is to make the Indian a self sustaining and self-respecting citizen and no long CT to be viewed as ward of the nation. As rapidly as possible the Indian will have full responsibility himself. In order to bring this about it will be necessary to re- wise the educational program, one of a practical vocational character. Plans are for the absorption of Indian industrial and agricultural life of the nation insofar as feasi- ble. Health and education will become the responsibility of the various states. New Indian schools will be provided for education and efforts will be made to find em- ployment.

 The leaders frankly admit they are at a loss to understand precise ly what the President had in mind when he wrote in his message de- livered yesterday at the extra ses- sion of Congress, that the Tariff Commission should be reorganized.
 The leaders will seek amplifica- ton and inquire whether it is his desire to have these recommends tions written into the bill being drafted now by the House Ways and Means Committee.
 Interpreting the language of the Chief Executive in the most literal sense, some of the leaders said .thara AVill laassa skn. he legislation, abciisling the present Tariff Com mission and setting up a new one under a wholly different plan of operation.
