band Who loved his wife with a hu-

nothing could keep him from her
side.
The love that laughs at death.
that SCOTS at disease, that nell IL
self would not keep from h OBJ
ject of it's love.
That is the personification OF
love-that is a hero's love.
And over the wire comes an
other true tale of devoted love
which puts to shame the fickleness
and shallow-heartedness OF n age.
Aiman In Indiana was engaged to
marry a beautiful girl who as the
victim of a railroad wreck, lost both
her limbs.
Two years ago the young woman
and her sweetheart started with an
excursion party for a days outing
The train was wrecked. and ooth

aided in ~extricating his fiancee from
the mass of w~reckage.
While she lay between life n
death at the hospital, with the odos
on death, his devotion made him the
cynosure of their acquaintance.
While she lay in the hospital, not
knowing that her injured limbs mad

to make her his wife.
When the young woman had re-
covered sufficiently to realize ner
condition, she declined to allow her
lover to make the sacrifice, but ne
held her to her promise, refusing

WOOL GROWERS DEMAND TARIFF
Texas Goat and Sheep Men Urge
that Duty Be Increased.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Captain B.
d. Crouch of Corpus Christi appear
ed before the ways and means COM
mittee yesterday for the sheep and
goat raisers of Texas. He asked that
the present rate of duty on first and
second-class wools be retained. and
that the skirting clause as applying
to Australian woods be stricken out.
This clause, in effect, reduces the
duty on first-class woods to about 9.
cents a pound. Stricken out. the
wool growers would get the benefit
of the full duty of / cents. AS there
is a sort of understanding between
the wool growers and wool manufac-
turers to stand by each other there
is no likelihood of wool going on the
free list.
Captain Crouch showed rapid
growth in the mohair industry and
asked that the present duty of Il
cents be increased to Is cents, also
that goat skins be placed on the du-
table list at a rate Of 10 cents per
pound, kid skins at 20 cents
He showed that at this rate the
$11,000.000 worth of goat skins
! imported annually would yield a rev.
enue of $4,000, where none is now
derived and that only well-to-do peo-
pie who use such goods would be
affected. With this protection and
carnivorous animals killed out, Cap
tain Crouch contends this industry
would become immensely profitable
and greatly enrich south and south
west Texas
