One of the largest Indian spirit j stones or shrines found in VViseon- ! I sin ha* been presented to the Wis- j consin Historical society by Dr. A. j ! Gerend of Milladore. The stone,, j which* is about four feet high and ! i weighs 250 pounds, formerly stood j on the Indian road between Wabeno | and Soperton. As most of the In- i dians in the region no longer wor- | ship the native gods, they permit ted the stone’s transfer to Madison, j where it will be mounted, probably I 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 being 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 Potawatarni 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.

The clerk in the substation of the post office looked at the woman who had asked him for 3-eent stumps. “No, madam, but we have twos ami 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. Tt matches my stationery, my sealing wax, my ink. 1 must have purple stamps or none.” And she walked out of the station. POLITE VICTIM. An extremely polite traveler had been for a walk along the deck. When he came baek to his deck chair he found a very buxom woman in possession of it. He approached her timidly and said: “Excuse me, madam, but could you tell me —er —without—er —without getting up, whether you are sitting on my hat?” DRESSES OF SUGAR SACKS.
