Different Methods OF Following the In
Junction Love One Another"
Do men ever fail in love with each otheri
Women do Not long ago young woman
in New Jersey was married to youthful
laborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward 1t was discovered that the h1s-
band was female; the young wife refused
however. though earnestly entreated by her
friends, to give up her chosen consort The
strangest part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband Yves q
woman before she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the fact that
they love one another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.
1t Is proud possession-the knowledge
that one has saved precious human life.
Meriden, Conn.,, is the home of such a
happy man John II. Preston, of that city,
July 18th, 1890, writes: "Five years ago
was taken very sick, had several of the
best doctors, and one and all called it q
complication of diseases l was sick four
years, taking prescriptions prescribed by
these same doctors, and truthfully state
never expected to get any better. At this
time, Icommenced to have the most terrible
pains in my back. One day an old friend of
mine, Mr.. R T. Cook of the firm Of Curtis
& Cook, advised me to try Warmers Safe
Cure, as he had been troubled the same way
and it had effected a cure for him. / bought
six bottles, took the medicine as directed
and am to-day a well man. am sure no
one ever had worse case of kidney and
liver trouble than had. Before this was
always against proprietary medicines but
not now, oh, no."
Friendship expresses itself in very pc
culiar ways sometimes; but the true friend
is the friend in need.

TEXAS NATURAL WALL.

A Freak OF Nature That Has Been the
Subject of Much Speculation.
There is in the northern part of
Texas, near the Bots dare, or East Fork
of the Trinity, freak of nature that
has been the subject Of much specula-
ton ever since its discovery, over forty
years ago Extending in a northwest
and southeasterly direction for several
miles is perpendicular seam or wall of
coarse limestone, composed of frag-
ments, irregular in size, yet very SINH
lar in shape. The seam Tor wall, as it
is called) is about two feet in width
everywhere it is seen. and the stones of
which it is composed are distributed on
top of ono another, almost with the
regularity of masonry-at least as we'll
as many ancient builders constructed
their walls. 1t is for the most part
under the earth, but appears in hillsides
and ravines, where the external forces
OF nature have worn away the soil. leav-
ing the natural wall exposed. Old set
tiers say that some sections several
hundred feet in length appeared as
much as three feet in height when they
first went there, and hence they
named their first town Rockwall, which
name is also borne by the county in which
the wall is found From the fact that
no other stone was found in the immedi-
ate vicinity, these pioneers unanimous
ly agreed that the wall was the work OF
some prehistoric people VINO inhabited

which was filed by the same agency
with fragments Of underlying strata of
limestone. In some portions where the
wall was sufficiently compact. it has
stood alone, while air and water have
worn away the surrounding earth. Thus
it is found at intervals, keeping ous

line for about six miles, uniform in
width, and always composed of stones
resembling an elongated brick. some
larger and others smaller.
Years ago an inquiring well-digger
sunk his spade beside the wall He fol-

abundant water, but not the base Of the
wall. So we may concede the work to

eminent of France.
Bonaparte, on behalf of France, to
which country the territory belonged,
sold Louisiana to the United States in
1908. during the presidency Of Thomas
jefferson. because ~ he was aware that
If he attempted to retain it it would be
wrested from him. either by the United
States or by England. and because (2) he
needed the SIS, 600, 900 which the United
States paid him for it to aid him in his
war against England and her allies.
The United States thus came into pos
session of about 900. 900 square miles Of
territory, or about $4,000 square miles
more than the domain of the original
thirteen States. That Is to say, the ac-
QUESTION of the Territory of Louisiana
more than doubled the national area.
OF course, the present State of Louisiana
formed only small part of this tcrri-
tory. 1t extended from the Gulf of
Mexico north to the Canadian line. the
Mississippi river being its eastern
boundary, while it stretched along the
Gulf westward to the Spanish possessions
at the Sabine river. and along its north
erly end it reached westward to the Pa
cific. The territory included the pres
emit State of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
braska, South and North Dakota, part
of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, all
Iof Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and
the Indian Territory. There was dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain as to the ownership Of
what is now Oregon and Washington,
but British claims to those regions were
eventually renowned. The territory
added to the United States in 1S4S. as .
result Of the Mexican war, was about
