How They are Called.

Booker Washington tells a story
of colored man in Alabama who
one hot day in July, while he was
at work In cotton field, suddenly
stopped, and, looking toward the
skies, said: Ode cotton am so
grassy, de work am so hard, and
the sun am SO hot, l blieve dis
darky am called to preach ~ 1t
is not an exceptional case. A
good many young men who are
not darkies have received the
same kind of "call" to work, or
hunt for work, in town.
