eight Lives In One Room.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
In the western part of North Carolina and
about seven miles! west of Hot Springs there
lives q family by the name Of Brooks. It ID
very interesting one. and many visitor to
the quiet little town of Hot Springs has had
his curiosity so aroused by stories of this
family that they have hired teams and driv-
en- seven miles to the Brooks residence.
This consists of little low log cabin in an
unsettled district and is occupied by father,
mother and twenty exceptionally handsome
children.
Every one is blonde with golden yellow
hair and peachy complexion, and all as iRno-
full. In addition to the above family proper
the two older girls are married. One is q
widow with two children and the other has
three children and husband. Both these
little families are living with the old folks at
home, making in all family of twenty
eight when none is missing. The house or
log cabin consists of but one room, and that
q very small one. On two sides of this are
built seven berths, one above the other,
built with the cabin.
In these "boxes' the parents, children and
grandchildren lay themselves away when
night comes on. Three times day this in
teresting family may be ssan at meals. The
oldest members seat themselves about on the
ground in front OF the house in "Indiau
fashion," and are favored with tin plates ana
iron spoons, while the younger ones stand
around q rough homemade table inside the
cabin, eating beans with q relish that is good
to look upon. This is the principal diet;
now and then they have change, but 1t is
Of the same plain, cheap order. They are
all healthy and robust, knowing nothing Of
sickness.
The father of this family, who has to
"hustls" for the beans to fill the twenty
eight hungry mouths, makes a. high as
eighteen dollars some months, but oftener
his income will not excsed fifteen dollars per
month, which Aum he earns by walking sew
en- miles daily to Hot Springs to work in the
mill Of Frank Gahagan. The moshsr, who
has baby In arms, seems contented and
happy ~ she sits with one foot on the side Of
the homemade cradle, made of an ordinary
pine kox, with rockers sawed out of rough
board, which she every now and then gives .
kick to keep the cradle moving, while she
sings over and over few lines of some old
hymn she has learned. Every one 10 struck
with the remarkable beauty Of the children
from the youngest to the oldest. 1t is some
thing remarkable. The parents have found
