uncle Remus'g Queer vision.

current among VIC uSRIO0o O0 VIC
plantations during the days of slavery.
Their was one season, for instance,
when Uncle Remus was troubled
with the toothsche, and he not only
refused to tell any stories, but he was
cross and impatient Decides. He
had periods of toothache and I'M
patience, and periods of toothache
and remorse. One morning be said
to the little boy.

"When papa has the toothache, "
said the little boy, alphabetically,
che goes and has il pulled out.
OATS so, honey" responded
Uncle Renus, with q grosn; "but
Mars John young, en- mo dan
dat, he got mo- strenk 10 his neck
dan wat l iS."
The old man put on his coat,
seized his huge walking. cane, and
went Of, and the little boy saw him
no more until night, when, IS was
his custom, he made an informsi
call at the cabin. The door was open,
q fire was blazing upon the spacious
hearth, and the old man was IN such
good. humor that the child fully ex-
pected to hear something further
about the curious adventures ol
Brother Rabbit and Brother Fox.
ALI the indications pointed in thai
direction, but Just as Uncle Remus
seemed to be ready to accommodate
the younEster, Aunt Tempy, a large
fat, motherIy- looking negro woman
walked in the door. Aunt Tempy
Was the mixer, and her position
gave her almost as much authority
on the place as that supposed to DC
vested in Uncle Remus. She wore
flaming red end yellow hesd-kerchlefi
and she had g habit Of shutting hel
eyes and holding her head on one side
when she talked. which by SOME
curious process gave unusual en-
pbasis to what she said. Aunt Tempy
and Uncle Remus were in the habl
of treating each other with the re-
spectful indifference OF rivals who ar'
secretly jealous of each others in
huence and authority, bat who have
too much tact to quarrel. Tbs gIsi
! OF Aunt Tempy was q concession cal
culated to disturb Uncle Remus'
plan OF defense, bat her dogmati'
msnnerWss on assurance that N
concession was intended. She scorneC
to knock ct the open door. but
stalked in and seated hersel
upon a wooden bench without wait
ing for an invitation, and witt
q marked air OF proprietorsbip
When she spoke her voice Wa
elevated to a pitch not at 81
calculated to oonOiliate.
