LOVE IS DEVOTION.

Should you chance to read the story
OF the devotion of General David X.
Wardwell in the pages of Balzac you
would declare the tale is overdrawn.
Truth Is not only stranger than fic-
ton; It Is oftentimes more beautiful
General Wardwell was a veteran of
two wars, retired United States army
officer. Some time ago Mrs. Wardwell
contracted leprosy. As the disease de-
veloped she felt she must leave her
husband. Secretly and with much suf-
fering she got to Los Angeles and gave
herself up to the authorities. They
held her for deportation to a leper
colony.
But the old warrior would not give
up his wife He pleaded for permits
sion to take her to Mexico. He was
refused.
Then one morning the window OF his
wife's room In the hospital was found
open.
The old soldier had taken his wife
out by a ladder.
They left a note. 1t read:
We've gone to die together"
Fleeing toward Mexico. they stopped
at Tombstone, Ariz. The health au-
thorities said the couple must be sepa-
rated. and the wife returned to Los
Angeles.
The grizzled veteran appealed to the
federal government he had served so
long. There was much correspondence.
Finally 1t was agreed the county au-
thorities should have charge.
Meantime the general and his leper
wife went up the side of the mountain
and camped in a tent There they held
the fort for several weeks.
General Wardwell courted death.
He said: 81 have only a few years to
live. cannot bear to leave my wife
to the care Of strangers. IL I become
a leper they viii not take her away
from me-"
But one day the old general caught
cold and died shortly afterward. They
buried him with military honors and
rent the old wife back to Los Angeles.
She Is living in dog tent in daily
hopes of joining her husband in the
land where Is no leprosy.
Can you match this story OF devo-
ton?
Love Is more than sentiment and
kisses. It is expressed In single word
DEVOTION

New York, Nov. ga special to

Acting on advice from an authori-
tative source, which he says he may
not now disclose, Mayor Harper will
send resolution to the council today
advocating the retention of Rear Ad-
miral Sperry's great fleet of battle
ships in the Pacific waters. The reso-
luton, which the mayor has been as
sured after secret conference with the
entire council will be adopted, Is as
follows.
Whereas. The best assurance of
peace is to be prepared for war; and,
whereas, the American fleet contem-
plates at an early day to depart from
the Pacific on a voyage around the
world: and, whereas, In such an event
our Pacific possessions and coast
would be without adequate defense.

Panua Island.

Papua island was SO named by the
Malays, and the word means "frizzled."
In reference to the hair Of the inhabit-
ants. 1t is generally supposed that
Papua or New Guinea was originally
part Of the mainland Of Australia. It
was discovered by the Portuguese in
1925, though it was probably sighted
by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen
years earlier. The Australian govern
ment realizing the danger that would
arise IL an enemy seized land SO near
their coasts, frequently urged England
to annex the eastern portion Of the
island, and after two or three unau-
thorized annexations British protec-
torate was established there in 1884.

AS compared with some OF the other

And 80, as time passes, and men

sober second thought. Boone's stock
will rise and the great Napoleon's will
fall.
The backwoodsman will not only live
as long as the mighty emperor. but
