I never like to bow or take off my hat to a boy or a young man with a cigar or a cigarette in his mouth. I don't like to bow to a cigarette. I don't like to bow and pay deference to a nasty old stinking tobacco pipe. I think that Is more condescending by far than to bow to a courteous gentlemanly man who is unfortunate enough to be colored with a black skin. I have seen many polished gentlemen In my life who have been unfortunate enough not to to be white, that Is In their skin; but in their hearts and In their manners, in their courtesy and conduct, they were far superior to many of their boasting white brothers.
