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 a dia-
lect. 1t consists chiefly of the vulgarism,
the INSTRUMENTATION and misuse of
words that come of a 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.
1t is kitchen talk, as distinguished
from hat of the parlor, and, although it
may occasionally offer US a 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 the 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 a jargon if
subjected to the same phonetic process.
In our common conversation very few
of US are purists, and a precision is gem
orally regarded as affected and preten-
tious. William G. Elan in Lippin-
colts.

Tho Lifo OF Shoe.

According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member Of the trade, the aver
age purchaser Of footwear counts the
life of a shoe by the number Of times it
requires residing and heeling. If a shoe
is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is a better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling more
than once The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
Of this knowledge and put inferior leath-
er in the soles 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

the almost torrid day dragged through
to its close, and tho loungers began to
wonder what had become Of Bud and
his promised exhibition. They fingered
On until the lights began to CLINT here
and there In the windows, and Just as
they had abandoned the hope Of seeing
"Bud's circus" they were brought up
standing by the rush of something
down the main street, that to their
startled senses resembled q six-tailed
hery comet with skyrQcket attach
ments on rampage.
It was only Bud. Yes, no mistake
sbout that; and such a spectacle they
never had witnessed. He was astride Q
wildly charging steer to whose long
horns were tied couple OF tall stream
ing flags and at whose tail hung .
huge bunch OF exploding frecr.clkers.
while from end to end the frenzied
creature was bedecked with streamers
Of red, white and blue. Bud himself
was sight to behold. HIS face was
streaked "a Ia redslfin) with red, white
and blue, dozen small flags were
stuck round his hatband and In each
hand was q monster Roman candle
belching forth balls OF variegated fire
at every jump of the maddened animal
he bestrode.
Through the town the blazing appari.
ton streaked it, accompanied by the
unearthly yclls Of its moving spirit and
urged on by the fusillade Of pistol shots
and cries which its appearance had
awakened. But, alas, there was chaos
lurking in the cleaning. Into the
open doorway Of neat little cottage
ct turn In the road the jubilant Bud
was cast headlong. and away to Its ma
tive heath bolted his terrified steed.
And the worst of all was that the chap
fallen fellow was deposited in .
tangled mass at the feet Of the only
girl In the world whose love he cared
to win.
Bud made his escape and was NOT
seen In town for several days, and
when he did show up he sported patch
on his face and . limp, and when inter.
rogated concerning his great Fourth OF
July celebration with great vehemence
he ejaculated: "Oh, come OIL" But

Time brings its changes and we old
fellows are prone to think the former
things were better than those that now
exist. One fact Is evident, that as the
years pass people get farther away
from the enthusiasm and abandon that
marked the celebration Of the ever-to-

the calm dignity. the commonplace

All! how fresh In memory is the

made weeks in advance by old and
young, and how every one did talk of

occasion. The programme usually be-

morning, when every church bell, the
city hall and the court house bells rang
out changing and clashing notes, awak-

to eighteen, lay In finding entrance to
