"LET 'EM MAKE ME- LOOK LIKE THATv'

Everyone knows about the Legion Etrangere-the
famous Foreign Legion Of the French army Well, Rich
ard Morgan of Syracuse, N. Y, enlisted in the Foreign
Legion in the great war under the name Of Henry billiard
SO you can guess that the hero was not in love with him.
self or with life The Hun sent him to the hospital with
wounded knee and arm and face pretty much shot
away with shrapne. The surgeons fixed up his knee and
his arm. When they proposed to restore his features, he
lied and said he had no photograph of himself And in his
rage against life he caught up picture postcard bearing
the radiant face of Christ and cried:
"Let 'em make me look like that! Or anything else,
either don't give d2n!"
The French surgeons were interested and did good
job. And presently "The Man Nobody Knew is back in
Syracuse telling Of the death Of Dick Morgan and selling
mining stock and falling deeper in love with Carol Duran
the "onB gr' of his old life who had refused to marry
Dick Morgan, the failure
Complications! Well, rather-especialy when the
mining stock apparently turns out to be worthless and the
only man in the world who knows billiards secret dies Of
apopey and the hero finds out that the heroine did love
Dick Morgan. And HoIWortty Hall handles these compI
cations and these real human characters and this Ame
can community in the mastery way that makes him read
from one end of the country to the other these days.
Good reading!

LONG INDIAN SUMMER
RETARDS MUSHROOMS
Expert on Cultivation Says Com
mon Variety Has Failed
to Appear.

Mushrooms Of all kinds which are
usually spontaneously growing at
this season Of the year in meadows,
fields and forests are extremely
scare this year, due to the unprece-
dented Indian summer weather, in
the opinion of Fred J. Braendle, an
authority on botany. mycology and
the cultivation of mushrooms.
Meadowagaries which are general
ly plentiful in the fall, he said, have
so far failed to appear. There is.
however, one species which seems to
have been little affected by the dry
spell, as it is fairly plentiful in it's
regular haunts.'' said MIR. Braendle.
1T is the tricholoina personata. COM
monty called duets. IS the mushroom
is of a beautiful blue Or purplish-
blue color in all it's parts. 1t has
further and other Distinguishing fea-
lures in it's peculiar swollen base Of
the stem and the entire plant comes
out of the ground at the slightest
pull.
1.-The full-grown plants are usually
large and fieshy, and half dozen
of them weigh frequently a pound
Bluets are as attractive in form and
color as they are good as a table
oelicacy, and should rank equally as
high as the meadow agaric or even
the cultivated species Bluets also
stand the cold weather very well
and have been collected in former
years even as late at Christmas time
in good condition.
I'm England bluets are sold in the
markets and are one of the most
favored species of edible mushrooms
in that country. Owing to the moist,
foggy weather prevailing in that
country this mushroom is more Of a
deep purplish blue color and more
fleshy than ours
Lovers of mushrooms should not
forget that with the LIST of Noyem-
Der begins the season of the golden
and silvery tricholomas growing usu-
ally plentiful under pine trees, two
species which are already used as
food to a great extent"
