"GoT Err WHITE MAN wUKKIN."
This Colored Girl viii Pump Her
Own Water in Future.
louisville Times.)

People living around the vicinity of
Fifth and Chestnut streets had good
laugh one day last week. = little negro
girl IS in the habit of coming to the
pump at the corner to get water. She
brings her bucket along. and being too
small to handle the pump, she usually
begs some passerby to pump for her.
They always aCcede. The other day she
had reached her destination with the
bucket. and as she did so a tall. sober
looking gentleman passed Mister"
said the small African damsel won't
you please I'LL my bucket for me2'
The gentleman instantly halted, put
the tin bucket on the spout and started
TO pump. As he did so the negro bloom
er began singing in a loud voice. Use
got er white man wukkin' fer me"
The familiar tune of the variety song
struck the bystanders and pdssersby
and they were cOnvulsed with the Situa-
ton. Not so the pumper. He evidently
did not know anything about comic
songs of that character. and did not see
the joke, for he went on pumping with
gravity until the bucket was filed and
handed to its sOngful owner.
You couldn't get any of the fellows
near there now to Ill that bucket unless
the girl could be bou..d over TO keep the
peace while they pumped.
