INDEPENDENCE,
Display

Horsem an-
Than Cruol
Lisbon.—Sailors of the Am ericas
warships who were entertained In this
city when the American squadron vis­
ited Portugal the other day. saw a
Portuguese bullfight and lustily
cheered for one of the bulla.
A Portuguese bullfight is more a
display of splendid horsem anship and
skillful feints than a cruel sport, such
as the Spanish bullfight. There la no
bloodshed. The bulla are merely
teased by the bullfighters and other*,
who pierce their hides with their tor­
menting darts. The horns of the bulla
are covered with leather balls, so that
they can d<> no great dam age and tha
proof of the skill of the horseman
is never to let his horse get touched
by them.
A fter that a group of peasant*
wearing green-and-red cap* advance
Into the ring and each trlee to throw
himself on the bull, either between hie
horns or on his neck, and to cling
there despite the frantic attem pt* of
the anim al. If on# succeeds in cling­
ing on, the other peasants rush up
and hang onto the bull until he Is
reduced to Impotence.
The American hoys cheered all this
with great enthusiasm , hut the real
outbreak came when one hull leaped
after one of his torm entors over a
wooden partition and Into a group of
bullfighters, scattering them right and
left.
Koars of laughter filled the enor­
mous circus and a thundering cheer
and cries of "bull, bull, bull” burst
from the throats of the Americans.
The bullfighters fled tu disorder
while the am phitheater resounded
with the laughter and cheer* of the
Americans.
One of the largest Indian spirit
stones or shrines found in Wiscon­
sin has been presented to the Wis­
consin Historical society by Ur. A.
Uerend of Milladore. The stone,
which is about four feet high and
weighs *250 jiounds, formerly stood
on the Indian road between Wabeno
and Soperton. As most of the In­
dians in the region no longer wor­
ship the native gods, they permit­
ted the stone’s transfer to Madison,
where it will be mounted, probably
near the Wisconsin Historical li­
brary.
A legend has been woven about
this granite bowlder, which is curi­
ously marked by wind and rain.
The Indian sees in it a resemblance
to a human beiug and says that a
mortal who wished to live forever
was turned to stone by the Great
Spirit so that his wish might be
fulfilled. At the foot of the large
stone was a small one known as the
Child of the Spirit.
The shrine has been used for sev­
eral hundred years and was brought
to Wisconsin by the Potawatami In­
dians from the Bark river region of
Michigan. On its top is a small
hollow where offerings of food and
tobacco were laid. A final offering
of tobacco was made before the
stone left Forest county.

Angora.—The nationalist govern­
ment has given a new interest to
Turkish stam p collections. It has not
only Issued, at various times, small
quantities of stumps of a tem porary
kind, but It has also surcharged with
Its name various sets of revenue and
postage itam ps printed originally by
the Imperial Ottom an government at
( Constantinople.
It has lately arranged to have print­
ed In Italy a complete set of new
stam ps of its own, thereby making
more valuable the tem porary and aur-
charged stampa used during the past
two years. The surcharged stam ps
have In several cases been surcharged
with the lettering upside down.

embassy, Constantinople, and owner

trips to the Interior form ed a large
collection of nationalist (tam ps, some
of which he estim ates In value from
$50 to $100 each.

Pittsfield, Mass.—Some of New
England's fine old mansions are he
I mr sawed ap art to m ake modern
homes. One bit of cross-cut saw
handiwork here was the succeHaful
division of a twenty-room house Into
two apartm ent dwellings. One of the
-eelions was moved to a new site.
The old W hitehead mansion of
*17 rooms Is to he tom down and
made into many small houses. Its
three huge chlmmeys alone are said
•to coutaln brick enough to build two
modest homes.
Thousands of mansions like this
were built In New Kngland year* ago
when m aterials snd labor were In­
expensive. Increasing cost of main­
tenance has caused many to be sold.

The clerk in the substation of the
post office looked at the woman who
had asked him for 3-cent stamps.
“No, madam, but we have twos
and ones—it’s all the same,” he ex­
plained.
“But indeed it isn’t,” the woman
replied quickly. “I want the 3-cent
stamp because it is purple. It
matches my stationery, my sealing
wax, my ink. I must have purple
stamps or none.” And she walked
out of the station.
