Remarks on the Rabbit Foot.
THE FIRST COLORED MAN.
Ho Was a Mistah Ham and. According
to tHo President, Has Brought Luck
to All Those Who Havo Followed
His Footsteps.
[Copyright. IMS. Uy T. C. MeCluro.]
As the president of the Limekiln club
rose up to spunk he placed a rabbit's
foot on his left -and another on hi*
right, ulU after serlouslj regarding
them for a moment ho said:
"My frens, 1 reckou dat you all
know dat de flrnt cnll'd man bo'n lnb>

ctill'il man has follered in Ills foot

"Dnt Waydown Bebee wears one tied

has any luck 'tall.
"In de second place, luck hain't
comln' to nobody through any fool
thing. Yon has got to git up mighty
airly In de mawnln' and hunt all day
for luck. She'll come to you Jest as
quick If yon are earryln' a head of
cabbage under your arm as she will If
you ha\e a rabbit's foot tied to your

"Par was u time In my life when 1

Kissed Rabbit's Feet.
"I had one mo' ease befo" I quit. I
found $20 In de road nnd no one In
<i. '? ]>nt was niy money for shore.
I needed !t. I took out deiu rabbit's
feet and kissed 'em in gratitude, and 1
was still klssln' when n robber Jumped
out mid uoi only took de money, bat
left ine wld n headache dat continued
for I wo straight years.
"Par am Jest on single oceashun
when a rabbit's foot may possibly
bring luck. Put am urter you has
stood in front of a grocery for about
two hours look In' at a great big heap
of wntermlllyons.
"Your eyes has bulged out.
"Your luouf has watered.
"You has felt your heels'lift up.
"In imagination you have devoured
fo' of de biggest and de rlpe?t. and de
sweetest? ebery one of 'em wld a core
as red as de heart of mi ox.
"You has gone frew all dis and den
had to back away bekase you hadn't a
cent In your pocket and knew dat de
grocer wouldn't trust. You has gone
home feel In' de Iron In your soul, but
to suddenly remember of a melon patch
ilK>ut a mile away. You have a rab
bit's foot. You know dat it won't be a
moonlight night. You dimly remember
of bearln' dat de owner of do patch am
away oil his vacation.
"When de chill Vn have gone to roost
you wink at de old woman.
"Not a word am s|>okeu, but she
knows what dat wink spells.
"She goes out In de wood shed nnd
brings you In an old coffee sack and
>ats you on de shoulder and gives you
into de keepln' of Providence.
"You sot out. You saunter along
keerlessly. You whistle and you sing.
If you meet a policeman he takes you
for a happy darky gwlne to cote your
?al.
"Vou reach dat Held. You wnllt along
de feuee. You talk to your rabbit's
foot, and lilmeb.v you And a hole to
reep through. Pe mlllyons am dar.
You kin smell 'em. Pey hnve been
waltln' for time. Pey nm so anxious
to lie picked and eaten dat dey almost
come roll In' at you.

"Pen conies do crisis. I have known
dat rabbit's foot to help a man git
hack home wld do m'llyon nnd have
do feast of Ids life, and I have known
It to give him dead away to a white
man. a bulldog and a shotgun. Can't
neither tell what It will do, and T
reckon de snfest way am to look
around instead for a ham dat a hutch

he i-losed his shop for de night.
"1 hain't gwlne to say dat no mem

In do luck of 11 rabbit's foot, but I am
tell In' you dat when you am holdln' a
pair of aces and de odder man has
thre.-s all de rabbits' feet In do hull
world hain't gwlne to let you rake In
