Too Dangerous.

In the struggling days at Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington found that he would have to use an old chicken house for a schoolroom. “Uncle,” he said to an old colored man. “I want you to come down at nine o’clock tomorrow morning and help me clean out a henhouse.” “Law now, Mr. Washington,” the old man expostulated, “you-all don’t want to begin cleanin’ out no henhouse roun’ yere in de day time.”— Success Magazine.
