A BaCkW0tds View of the Toilet.

A popular Macon Minister recently
spent the night thirty miles below
Americus with backWOodsman,
whose house consisted of only two
rooms. The family, however, consist
ed of twenty-one, though, owing to a
dance in the neighborhood, only sew
enteen of the children were at home.
The minister spent the night with the
farmer and seven sons in one room,
while the old lady and ten daughters
occupied the other. In the morning
a junior member of the family, in res
ponce to an application for u wash
bowl, brought him an old tin pan, and
after the face toilet was completed,
hunted up about seven teeth of an
old tucking comb for him to arrange
his hair with. During the progress
of this important ceremony the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
"Mister, do you wash every morn
ing?"
"I do"
'EAnd comb your hair, too?"
"Ycs."
"Wcll, don'l it look TO you some
times like you is a heap of trouble to
yOursclf?'-Macon Telegraph.
