THE HOT TOWEL.


There's an instrument Of tor
ture of which much at times Is
said, it's been talked about and
written of, but we'll say on the
dead. there has nothing been re-
lated, nothing been put over yet,
that exposes half the misery
that a bunch Of US have met
when the hot towel of the bar
Der comes in contact with our
phiz-when 1t strikes our cpl
dermis and it makes our whis-
kers siz. And we suffer there
In silence, never utter we a
squeak, while they scald our
helpless faces, sparing nothing
bet our beak; and our groans
We bravely silence, chuck our
strong desire to howl-while we
writhe and squirm in anguish,
weeping tears within We towel.
But it's got to be habit, we
expect this line of grief, so we
canter up and take it, what's
the use to whine and beef as
they drape that rag of tor
ture, chauffeur it around our
yelp, there to let it scorch
and blister till we fain
would cry y. " @. q
