FALSE DIALECT.
Our Negro Stories Are Declared to Be All
Wrong.

Our Negro Stories Are Declared to BE All
Wrong.
The flood of negro talk that has dis
colored our recent literature is not dia-
lect. 1t consists chiefly of the vulgarism,
| the INSTRUMENTATION and misuse of
| words that come of lack of education
| and polite association. Hardly any Of it
| is even provincialism, and still less is
| the survival of old forms and usages
Nor is it due in any appreciable degree
| to locality. In fact, it arises from con-
| dition almost wholly and is merely the
lingo Of our lowest classes, with small
distinction on account of race and color.
It is kitchen talk, as distinguished
from that of the parlor, and, although it
may occasionally offer us word Or
phrase having some pathological or his
torical interest, it does not approach the
dignity Of dialect. The bad grammar
Of illiterate Ignorance, without rule or
art, it even lacks the consistency in err
ror with which some Of our writers seek
to invest it, for it recognizes no prece-
dent and follows no analogy.
And yet tho real lingo is not half so
bad as it is represented in print, where
it is sought to set it before us phonet-
ically. 1t is obvious that the ordinary
speech of any of our white communities
would look very much like jargon if
subjected to the same phonetic process.
In our common conversation very few
Of US are purists, and precision is gen.
orally regarded as affected and preten-
tious. William G. Elan in Lippin-

Charlie found his voice then. "You
are talking at random now, Eva," be
said severely, '.'a bad habit, against
which have always warned you. Will
you be kind enough to explain your
self?''
"Oh, certainly, Eva answered. 81
can do it in very few words Lord
Dolly proposed to me last night, and I
accepted him. -
Charlie gasped again.
But you are engaged to me-" he
calculated. "You must be mad You
can't seriously contemplate throwing
me over for Dolly Eastwood. The
things impossible!''
She looked at him and smiled.
Incredible as it may seem to you, I
do contemplate it..
But-but-but," stammered Char
lie, this is very-er-e extraordinary be-
havior on your part, Eva. Are you
aware that you propose to treat me in {.
most dishonorable way, and-and-er
lin short, very badly?"
Her face grew grave
II should be sorry to do that, !" she
said more gently. "I-I don't want to
be dishonorabla or to treat you badly,
Charlie, but am only human, and no
one but myself knows what have gone
through i'll the last few months. You
have tried me too hard. I was very fond
Of you at one time, and if you had treat
ed me fairly I should have been fond Of
you still. But you would wear out a
saint, and I am only woman I don t
think Lord Dolly would be hard on me-
He may not be very brilliant, but at all
events be is man-the sort of man we
call gentleman-and knows how to be
generous, ever to such an altogether in
ferior creature as a mere woman.
She paused and looked critically at
her rejected lover, who now presented
truly pitiable appearance, with all the
starch taken out of him and general
air of limp depression pervading his be-
ing.
''That is all, she went on present.
~. 'But before you go there is one
thing that should like to impress upon
you for future guidance-it is always
worth a man S while to be just and fair,
even to a woman"
She paused again and contemplated
him with her big blue eyes, but he said
nothing. He was too bewildered to even
speak. It seemed to him that all the
laws Of creation were reversed and the
whole scheme of the universe turned
upside down.
There was hitch in the system some
where. 1t had failed.-London Truth

The Life of a Shoe.

According to an Intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life Of shoe by the number Of times it
requires residing and heeling. If a shoe
is resoled and -heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the QUE
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling moro
than once. The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
of this know ledge and put inferior leath-
er in the scles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
creasing the reputation Of their goods by
using inferior material. 1t is certain,
however, that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy. =
