Almost An Accident

They were building a brick wall. It was up about three stories high, and the customary group of idlers were standing about in the street, watching the job go up, the materials go up the hoist, and the skill with which the bricklayers piled them up. One tall, lazy-looking darkey edged up fairly close to the new wall. F'or the moment he was watching the wheel-barrow rnen below load the hoist with bricks. And just then a brick slipped from the hand of the brick-layer at the top of the wall, and the crourd gasped as they saw it strike this colored boy right smack on top of the head.

Then they saw him raise his eyes and glare banefully at the offending worker above. "Ca'eful, Big Boy, ca'eful !" warned the injured one. "Look whut you doin' wid dem bricks ! YOU MADE ME BITE MAH TONGUE !"
