A colored man from Georgia had

when he was arrested for some slight
violation of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in Jail, the
secretary of the colored Y. M. C. A.

go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond. They reached the jail
shortly before noon. and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
Spouse to the proffered kindness he
said
"Mistah Johnsing, sho Is glad you

OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-

lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia
negro replied in whisper:
