Ahead Of a Brief Period
Of Liberty.
A colored man from Georgia had
lived in Washington but a few years
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.
secured the services of minister to
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-
sponse to the proffered kindness he
said: fF
"Mistah Johnsing, sho is glad you
all is gwine to git me out, but I
wants you-all to Ak it SO can't git
out till late dis evenin'"
OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
ual request. But moment later they
lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's Question. the Georgia
negro replied in whisper:
We'll. sab. dey's a-gittin' dinnah
ready. an dey's cookin' green's; an
sho would like to git some O. dem
greens befo' leabes dis place!"--Lip-
