“Now, Silas,” said the speaker, ‘T want you to be present when I deliver this speech.” “Yassuh.” "I want you to start the laughter and applause. Every time I take a drink of water, you applaud, and every time I wipe my forehead with my handkerchief, you laugh.” "You better switch dem signals, boss. It’s a heap ms* liable to make me laugh to see you standin’ up dar deliberately takin’ a drink o’ water.” —Washington Star.
