THE NEGRO DIALECT.

"As a rule the negro who hat grown
out of the dialect of hi race make an
extremely poor showing In an effort to
niluile the negro' talk," said an ob
servant man, "ami his effort to writ
It are even more pronounced failure.
Hut Paul Laurence Puubar, the negro
poet, has wrltteu at least one thing In
which he auatnlued the dialect of his
race. In the 'lHath Song Dunbar got
closer to the talk and the nature of the
negro than In any other effort It la
worth recalling, o here It Is:
"Lay me down beneat de wilier In d

for the Improper 'I Is' is genuine. Moat
negro dialect writers of today would
write It 'Ah',' for they nearly ilwayi

"Here we have 'IV and 'I kin,' both

on the whole, the dialect Is good and

"I'ghr breathed Ixmlae Ralnor In
disgust as tli nibbed away viciously
at the glove on her shapely band.
"How I loath and despise poverty! I
actually believe I abed the odor of
gasoline Just a Madge Carr doea th
odor of violets!"
"Economy! Economy I Ecouomyt"
she continued, punctuating ber word
vtth a pull at th finger of the glov
which ah was now fastening upon a

Talking to oneself ha always th
advantage of affording relief to pent
up feeling without uconntertng op

much oo account of th explosive qual

was using that Louis bad selected
th tar end of th back lawn for ber
operation that morning. ,
Th fenc was high and almoat con
cealed by a network of spring green
try. For a moment th girl forgot
beraoif, lost la admiration of th scene
bout her th great old treat under
which three generation of Ralnor
had played and the velvety award up
on which a robin waa hopping about
In a businesslike search for food.
Then h sighed again, two omtnoua

bead. A ilk waist waa plunged Into Its
gasoline bath with an energy born of
rebellion at thing they were.
"If I had a son," she bunt out, car
ried far beyond the proper scop of
maidenly meditation by th strength
of ber feeling. "I'd tech him from
hit youth up that money was the
greatest thing In th world."

very well to talk about honor and no

that the world pays any attention to
Is money.

Hon, and the result Is that mamma
and I haven't money enough to get the

"There" that Seymour girl, Just as

Hr noatrll quivered tnd tht dab
bed away at the waist In ber hands
rathcrly blindly. During th period of
silence that followed, th collar of,
light silk waist was subjected to
long and exhaustive friction. On
would almoat bav thought that ah
bad forgotten where th was and what
aba waa doing from tht automatic way
In which tht worked and tht nnteelng

day and is probably decorating that
gandy veranda of theirs at this mo

A careful examination of the waist
as sbe pinned it on the line beside the
gloves absorbed her for the next few
minutes. Whatever a Ralnor did had
of necessity to be well done, and no
professional cleaner could have eyed
bis work more critically and minutely
than she did hers.
"I suppose the glitter of the millions
tbe will have dazzles blm!" sbe ob
served scornfully. "Money makes any
