Sheep Romance in Texas.

In tn palmy days of wool growing
in Texas, when Mr.. Randall was
stirring the world with his letters
in the Picayune, descriptive Of Texas
and her resources, climate and wond-
ertul adaptrtion to wool production,
there came to Texas two girls, cyan,
kee school-marlns." His letters in
tcrested them in wopi growing.
They were possessed of some ready
means, as well as pluck and enter
prise. They thought over the mat
ter, and concluded to go into the
sheep business. Mr.. Randall, their
personal friend, was consulted, and a
proposition made to him to sell them
some sheep. To their establishment,
he refused to sell them any, and in
fact discouraged the project. But
they we've indomitable, and came
again for his reasons. He told them
they would fail in the business, as
they were women, and had no expe-
rience. "But," said he eff you will
hire one of my shepherds (naming
the man), yon will be fortunate, and
l will sell you sheep" They did SO,

to become the husband of one of the
proprietors, and did. All lived in
the same house, and to-day they are
among the largest, most intelligent,
and wealthy wool growers in the
State of Texas.-Rurai World.
