astonished purveyor of timber mush-
rooms found himself surrounded by
a crowd.
What's the NATTER" he gasped
"Yo' alls come right back to tn
hotel" Eaid the porter. The man
with the mushrooms went, but he
went protesting that he didn't know
what it WAS all about. Neither did
the crowd. but it went along.
How much do you want for those
mushrooms?" asked the hotel man
ager. The mans face cleared.
Gee" he exclaimed, Il thought
was going to be pinched."
The sale was quickly made and the
crowd melted, after it had thorough
ly inspected the conical-shaped
honey -combed edibles.
These are not going to the cafe"
announced Mr.. Emmke. They're for
private use. They're the first I've
seen of the kind in many years. Most
lovers of mushrooms have never eat

are by far the finest of all. They
grow only in seasons of heavy rains
and are to be found by those who
know just where to look for them in
their hiding places under last years
FALLEN leaves. They are best when
fried in butter, in batter or without
or when creamed. They'll last for a
few days now, and then We'll have
to go without them for another year
If next spring is comparatively dry
we'll have to wait twelve months
longer.
This is the heishth of the season
for wild mushrooms. While the tim
Der variety is very rare, the meadows
about town should be full of fairy
rings and buttons. Care has to be
exercised in gathering the 'fairyring.'
1t closely resembles a poisonous toad
stool in shape. But the mushroom
is cream on top and pink underneath,
while the toadstool is a dirty white
on top and black underneath. If you
are not certain that you have made
the right selection, 1t is well to apply
the traditional kings test to the
muchrooms while cooking them.
Thrust a silver spoon into the cook
ing mass and let It remain there for
a while. II IL furnishes a poisonous
toadstool has found it's way into the
dish II II remains clear only mush-
rooms are in the dish. This test was
never known to fail. Away back in
the Dark Ages somebody discovered

the presence of poison
