COBB An Easy Job for a Colored Boy By iRVIN S. COBB "J^fOST of us are familiar with the story of the colored brother it: a Southern town who was approached by a labor agent seeking recruits for a construction contract in a nearby state. "Look here, boy,” said the white man. “Would you like to have a nice steady job of work?” The darky stirred uneasily, where he reclined against the sunny side of a cotton bale. “Not if 1 kin get anything else to do,” he stated, truthfully. A somewhat newer variant of the same general theme has to do with n large black female who spoke pridcfully of her favorite son’s present position. “Henery, he’s got a mighty nice job now,” she said. “He gits plenty of money ana don’t eben have to soil his hands. He’s travelin' wid a circus. All he has to do is to git into a cage twice a day and put his head in de lion’s mouth. De rest of de time he has to hisse’f.” (American New* Featnrea. Inc.)
