The veeetab1e neerstenI,.

The notion, long held, that the
mushroom presented the composition
of animal flesh is rudely shattered. In
one regard, at any rate, the mushroom
does resemble beefsteak-it contains
practically the same amount of water.
This fact, as ascertained by recent
analyses, hardly justifes the mush-
room being regarded as a vegetable
beefsteak." 1t may be blow to the
vegetarian, but he would have to con-
sumo at least ten pounds of mush-
rooms in order to gain the equivalent
of little over pound of prime beef.
Still, the tender mushroom is undoubt-
edly easily digestible, and it contains
an unusual proportion of potassium
salts. Few will deny that the mush-
room is an excellent adjunct to many
dishes; it has an appetizing flavor and
this quality alone makes it dieteticaIIy

SOLDIER FRoLIcs UNDER FIRE
sleepy COlor-Bearer's Nap Dis
turbed by His MschIef-Lov-
Ing Comrades.

"The boys" said the major, played
tricks on one another even when under
fire. On one occasion after our line
OF battle had been formed the color
bearer stuck the flagstaff In hole in
a stump, behind which he sought shell
ter from the bullets of the enemy's
sharpshooters. For time the con-
federate fire centered on that stump,
or rather on the flag waving from it,
while all the time the color bearer,
curled up behind the stump smiled at
the efforts of the confederates to cut
his flag down.
"Soon the firing became regular and
the boys relaxed from the high tension
Of the opening session. The color
bearer, as the boys settled down Co
regular business, drowsed off TO sleep,
his flag still flying from the stump.
i. n. Cook, now of Guilford, I'LL,
thought the c. b. was having a pref
ty easy time and he crept up, lifted
the flagstaff out of the stump and let
the colors fall to the ground. The boys
yelled raise the flag and the color
bearer, waking up. crawled around 70

caught up the flag, examined it for bul
let marks and, finding none, was great
ly mystifed.
He placed the colors again on the
stump and in n short time was asleep
again. Cook slipped up again and
dropped the flag on the ground, and
again the boys shouted: raise the
flag and kept it up. They wanted the
color bearer TO explain how the con
federates could shoot the colors out
OF the stump and leave no bullet marks
on the staff. The color bearer re-
placed the flag at great personal risk,
and in a few minutes seemed to be
sound asleep. But when Cook made
third attempt TO remove the flag
from the stump the color bearer, max
Ing jump. landed squarely on Cooks
back
The two men clinched and were
soon engaged in rough-and-tumble
fight. The color bearer was swearing
at the top of his voice, our boys were
yelling in encouragement or derision,
and the confederates opened furious
fire on the combatants. Finally some
OF our men crept UP, separated the
fighters and put the flag again in the
stump. This ended the incident, in
not until years after the close of the
war did Cook and the color bearer be-
come friends"

possess all the provisions, dust and
teams.
81 do not remember the other fell
lows name, but at any rate he as
sented and the game began, the men
playing on log lying at the side of
the road. At first the cards favored
Pete and he began TO speculate on
returning to town and recouping his
losses at faro.
"The game stood three TO nothing
in Pete's favor, when, to his dismay.
the other fellow scored high, low
and the game. The next hand Pete
made high game to his opponents
low. The following deal favored
Pete's opponent in like manner,
and the game was now a tie, six to
six.
1T was HIS adversary's deal, and
Pete, after scanning his, announced
that he would stand. His adversary
said:
"'What have you for high?' Civ
ing up in despair as he had not a
trump.
Nothing replied Pete.
It's your play, them came the
reply.
Both wanted but one point to win,
and game was the only one out.
Pete lost the game by one, turned
his wagon, team and provisions over
to the other fellow and started up
the gulch, entering the road at that
place on prospecting tour. Thus
the gulch achieved its name, Seven
up-Pete gulch.
Pete upon being asked why he
stood without trump, said: Il
thought he'd turn jack on me and
so out And sure enough, the sew
enth card was jack. Pete did well
on his tour and washed out a great
many dollars in the gulch that bears
his name"

LOST ALL HIS DUST.
And Then Staked His Provisions on
a Game of Cards.
How SEVENTH Pete Gulch, n Rich
Montana Mining District, Got
Its Same-COmmemor
Unique Gard Duel.

The report of the contamination Of
large mining deal in Seven-up Pete
Gulch last week reminds me of what
was probably the most remarkable
game of seven-up ever played in the
state of Montana" said an old-time
miner to New York Sun correspond
ent.
Peter Sharf was in the early DAYS
wellNknown mining man. Prosperity
did not agree with him, however. That
is, money burned in his pockets. He
appeared never to be satisfied with
sheer money, no matter what the
amount. He wanted action all the
time. In other words, he was an in
veterate gambler.
He had some placer claims In the
Blackfoot country north of Helena.
and after his cleanup had come to
town, exchanging his dust for cash,
and started out to buck the tiger,
after having taken the precaution to
purchase supply of provisions.
He had quite a run of luck, and at
one time was several thousand dol
lars ahead. After an intermittent sit
ting OF week or ten days, however,
he went fat broke, and hitching up his
team to the wagonload of provisions,
departed for his mountain home, to
wash out another fortune.
Arriving at the main divide or
crest Of the Rockies, Pete met another
miner en- route to town, whose season
had been less fortunate than his. He
had in fact just about enough dust to
pay for the next years provisions.
Exchanging few casual remarks,
during which this fact was brought
out, Pete's mania for gambling led
him to make the proposition that as
they were both in about the same
financial condition they play a game
of yseven-up to see which one should

ard Union. Capt. Stodder was born
in Boston in 1898 and entered the navy
from the merchant marine at an early
age, and was in the gunnery school
then established in Brooklyn, when in
January, 1862, a call was made for vol
unteers to work the guns of the
'cheeseboX on a raft" then in an I'M
finished state at Greenpoint. John
Ericsson's "new-fangled concern" as
some then styled it, was the laughing
stock of all the naval wits who had
seen or heard of it, and the prospec-
tive gunners were warned that they
were taking their lives in their hands
when they volunteered. But men were
found, and the vessel was constructed
at a rate of progress probably unpre-
cedented. Within 100 days from the
laying of her keel the Monitor was
launched with machinery complete, and
within $50 days she had won the vic
tory over the Merrimac, which revo-
lutionized naval architecture.

GRANTS READY-wIT.
The Generals Happy Faculty of Say
Ing the Right Thing at the
Right Time.

BY force of both association,andc con-
trast, thought instinctively turns from
Robert L. Lee, the commander in chief
of the confederate armies, to the man
TO whom he surrendered at Appomat-
toX. One was the embodiment of cour-
tesy, elegance and rare social gifts;
the other was less polished, though of
the loftiest manhood, but silent and
shy. Grant had the rare faculty of
saying the right thing in a social con-
versation as well as in military or
cabinet conference. Never have
heard him make a more characteristic
reply than on the occasion of n re-
ception at my own home at Highland
Place, in Washington, writes Thomas
b. Bryan, in the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post. The attendance at
the reception was very large, and a
space for the dances of the young peo-
pie was set aside by means of line of
ribbon.
No sooner had the dancing begun
than Gen. Grant took his position a
few feet from the ribbon, his eyes fol-
lowing the graceful figure of his
daughter Nellie, now Mrs. Sartoris,
as she glided across the floor among
her gay companions. There was a
light of ingenious satisfaction and
pride in the eyes of the general. Evil
IDENTIFY this expression attracted the
attention of Gen. Sherman, and was
thought by him TO betray hint of
longing to join the brilliant and happy
group of walters.
Placing a hand upon the shoulder of
Grant, sherman pointed to the line of
ribbon and said:
This is not a bar TO you, general.
You're privileged character and may
cross the line without leave"
With a smile which had in It hint
of sadness Grant quickly stepped for
ward in military order, his toes
dressed squarely TO the line, and re-
piled:
"Ah, general! I've long since learned
TO toe the marlxl"
Though the incident passed with n
lsGSz no one who witnessed it could
fail 20 catch the serious meaning I'M
derneath it. He, the idol of the Amer
lean nation, had learned the lessons
of obedience and Of personal limita-
tons with respect TO the rights of
sthers
The great dispositional contrast be-
zen Grant and Sherman was sharp
