the Moors, and the following century the two countries effected an alliance which has existed unbroken during the succeeding TOO years. save for such sporadic interruptions as when Ma poleon forced the little kingdom to de clare war against the island empire.
 The Portuguese, especially those of Lisbon, are a pleasure-loving people They are fond of sports of many sorts, including the bull-fght, but the tore ador is not the idol in this country that he is in Spain, nor are the contests as fierce. Horses are seldom if ever sacrificed in the Portuguese trocade- ros.
 Lisbon is an even greater night city, than was Paris, the streets ap- bearing at their busiest usually at 8 a. m. The principal thoroughfares are admirably kept nowadays but as late as 1885 cleanup" campaigner was in --oeful minority when he began 70 urge the authorities to put stop to such practices as breaking horses in the streets and singeing pigs in the main avenues of trade. He also pro- tested against keeping pigs alive in the streets Hor tied to the doors,' while he thought it advisable to put an end to the custom of allowing dead animals to lie for indefinite periods in the streets.
 There are about 100 journals pub lished in Portugal, the majority of these being of political nature, and many of them are owned by the lead CTS of the various political parties.
 It has been said that If Lisbon turns Turk tomorrow all Portugal will wear the turban," so when the mon- archy was overthrown in 1910, after 100 persons had been killed and 500 wounded in the capital, King Manuel taking refuge in England, it was a matter of course that the rest of the nation would quietly acquiesce In the new order of things. Portugal today has much the same outward form of government as our own. Each par liament is supposed to last three years; senators are elected for six years, and presidents for four years. The head of the government receives $2O,OOO a year. Money, however, is reckoned chiefly in reis, and, therefore, even a day laborers wages is sweet to the ear. for it takes 20 reis to make a penny.
 Portugals transcendant contribu- tion to world history was the coloniza- tion of Brazil, the largest nation in South America and the third largest in the Western hemisphere. While Brazil was discovered by Columbus companion, Pinzon, and formal posses sion taken by him in the name of Spain, Cabral landed in 1500, a year later, and proclaimed it Portuguese territory. Portugal settled the coun- try and ruled it until 1922 when, un- der the leadership of the Portuguese prince, Dom Pedro, independence from the mother county was declared.

ParSnip Fritters.

Take three or four good-sized par snips; boil until tender, mash and sea- son with little butter, a pinch of salt and a slight sprinkling of pepper Have ready a plate with sifted flour on it.; drop tablespoon of the par srip in flour and roll it about until well coated and form into ball When you have a sufficient number ready drop them into boiling drippings or lard as you would a doughnut; fry a delicate brown and serve hot. Do not put them in a covered dish, for that would steam them and deprive them of their crispness, which is their great charm.

WAS NOT INDIAN PROPHECY
Old-Timc Rcdman Says Some White
Man Responsible for Idea,

Special to Tho World.
BRISTOW, Okla. Dec. 9.-An old
Indian known in this part of the
county as Sammy" was in Bristow
the other day and was commenting on
the dry weather of the past summer
and this fall. and said he wondered
If the war in Europe was over.
n read last year where some Indian
down near Muskogee had made the
statement" said Sammy, that all the
rain we were having last summer II
year ago and this last spring was
caused bv the heavy cannonading go-
ing on In that country. Now of course
perhaps he knew more than / do, but
then I have lived many. manv years.
and / was living here when the Civil
war was fought out, and only one year
of that war was wet year.
81 do not know what caused that
year to he wet nor why the other
three years were dry, but do not be-
lieve the heavy cannonading had any
thing to do with the wet year OF
course there were big rains during tho
dry seasons, but then they were not
to be compared with the second yeaf
the war went on. The story told In
the papers about the old Ind1an
prophesying that we would have wet
weather as long as that war lasted
was all stuff and was all made up by
some white man.
Il went to school several years ago
and learned n few things that are
printed In the white mans book, but
I never saw In any of them where
war would cause rain. This may have
been learned after l quit school, but
then ] 40 not believe that the war
over on the other side OF the earth
would have anything to do with the
rair here. II 1t did the rain would be
So light that 1t would not amount to
anything. Why. II sounds silly to me
We ere taught at SCHOOL that the rain
Is taken up into the clouds from the
ocean. Then I don't see how the
shooting o. cannon would make the
rain when It has to 90 up into the
air from the ground.
believe me, now, It Is going to
rain whenever II wants 10. regardless
Of whether there Is war or not on
either side of the world ] don't be-
lieve there is but one rainmaker In the
universe. and he controls all Of the
rain making machinery going"
