of his unsuspecting and con Hiding nat

Pettibone's rema kableness came out

men, but he had a way of keeping

other to account till it seemed the
more logs a man hauled into the mill
and sold to the squire the bigger his
store bill wss, and the longer chop
per worked for the squire the less he
had coming when they settled up.
Look at Jim Hoover. He hired out
spring for S15 a month and his board.
Jim worked all winter as faithful as
could be and never drew a cent of
money on account. In the spring he
asked for settlement. The squire got
down his books and went to going
over 'em and figuring. Jim he couldn't
understand why there should be so
much figuring, as all the charge
against him at the store was for three
pounds of tobacco. But the squire
figured and figured and at last got the

"Ah-h-h' said he, as if he was all

or get his senses to working, the
squire had counted out the three shil-

wrap up pair of overalls for Jim, and

Pintner was quite rugged and yet
smooth citizen, and he rather boosted
of it.

came in contact with old Squire Pint

suspectiug nature, his disregard OF
precaution in thai respect may be
satisfactorily explained. The squire
had a black mare that Reuben Petit

was worth $500 if she WAS worth cent,

driving by the squire's. The SQUIRE

MUSHROOMS AS FOOD.
German Chemists Think They Sh01ld
~ BE Chased With Meat, -


- BE Chased With: Meat.
A gseat deal has been said concerning
the Immense amount of valuable food
which was daily going to waste in the
shape of edible fungi. We are told that
in many parts of the world these articles
form the staple articles of diet OF the in
habitants. Our attention has been called
to the natives Of Patagonia and TERRA
del Fuego, who are said to be of gigantic
stature and to exist principally on vegeta-
who value mushrooms SO highly that one
Of them, the Polyporus sacer, is worship
ed as a god. =
Chemists have assured US that mush-
rooms belong to the animal rather than
to the vegetable kingdom, seeing that
they possess larger percentage of nitro
gen than any other class of vegetable life.
They are, we are told, essentially protein
in composition, as much so, pound for
pound, as butchers meat.
Two German chemists, Rolbrausch and
Ziegel, stated some years ago, as a result
of chemical investigation, that mush-
rooms deserved to be placed with meat as
| sources of heterogeneous nutriment. One
| man in Thuringia is said to have lived
upon nothing bat mushrooms for 80 years
and to have died a centenarian Compar-
ison has been made between mushrooms
and other articles of food to the detri-
mcnt Of the. latter.
Thus chemical analysis has shown
mushrooms to contain from 20 to - pei
cent Of protein. while bread only contains
s per cent. oatmeal 10 per ccnt potatoes
5 per cent and barley meal 6 per cent
Against this statement, however,, we have
the opinion OF a Er Kitchener, who il
1924 stated in 4 publication calico
Cooks Oracle that the did not believe
that mushrooms were nutritious.
