The Mt. Hope reservation is a tract of more than 300 and contains many points in- terest, Among them the spring where King Philip drank, throne on a hillside where the Wam- panoag leader held his councils with his braves, and the swamp where was killed by the men led by Jenjamin Church. In this reservation 30 bushels of raised by Indian wom- en and given to the starving Pilgrims by who lies buried on a hilltop a few miles away. The story of the story of the cause, a champion of a weaker race whose attempt to stay the onrush of the con- quering whites was foredoomed to fail- ure. He was the first great Indian chief to attempt a confederacy of the tribes to the came nearer succeeding his plan than did Ponti Pe seh or any other red leaders who followed in his footsteps. “History ‘King hilip' to heroism eof his life historian. “He made him- geif a king by his marvelous and statecraft put forth New England tribes.

To Wamsutta was given the name of Alexander and to Metacom, the name of Philip, and Massasoit charged both of them to continue his usurpa- liberties,” One of the most remarkable of plants is flowering now in the rock garden at Kew-—the “gas plant” or “burning bush” enlled dietamnus.

Finally in 1671, Philip was summoned to a coun cil at Taunten to explain the suspl cious acts of his tribesmen.

When he comes I am ready.” At about this time, too, a Rhode Is- land settler who was a good friend of the Indian leader tried to dissuade him from war. Philip's reply is his- toric. He sald: "The English who came first to this country were but a handful of people, forlorn, poor and distressed. My father did all in his power to serve them.

Soon another memorial is to rise to his son, King Phillip, whose fame also deserves to be perpetuated even though he was the enemy of the white man.
