Washington.—Biso Is unhappy!
He is to be deported, thrust from
the land of his birth, torn from his
wives and children and doomed to live
in exile for the rest of his days.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
lias decreed that he must go; the for-

resentatlve of this typical North
American species whose ence mighty
lierds roamed the great plains from
Mexico to northern Canada.
In 1007 15 -bison were "planted" in
the Wichita national forest and have
since Increased to over 150 head.
This Jierd promises to maintain the
type and stamina of the original bison,
since the anlmnls are kept at all times
under natural conditions. They sub-
sist entirely on wild grasses and live
within so inrge an lnclosure that they
are under practically no restraint.
So Biso has been well content and
is reluctant to leave. Yet many of
the younger buffalo bulls are casting
envious glances at the old fellow. It
would be very pleasant, they think,
to doze idly beneath a palm tree and
he served with fresh cut grasses or
have their wrinkled noses patted by
some dark-haired senorita.
But Biso has his doubts.
