PECULIARITIEs OF SPEECH.
Senator Money Tells Of Some of Those
Of the Negro.

1.-THE negro has no doubt been mistreated
In many ways: possibly he has been lynch
ed occasionally for an offense he did not
commit; ne has been deprived of his politi-
cal rights now and then. perhaps; his pre-
tended friends have forced the responsible
ties OF citizenship upon him before he was
able to wear them; spellbnders have caused
him to conjure with the foolish dream of
equality. and all that kind Of thing" said
Senator Money of Mississippi the other day
at the New Willard. but these grievances
are small, indeed: they are mere trashy
nothings when compared to others to which
desire to address myself for the moment.
or course. cannot say how the negro feels
about the things 1 have in mind. but it
seems to me that they should be inclined to
offer some kind of show Of resentment. The
negro has individuality. 1t Is striking. even
poetic, IN some OF its respects. What is
sweeter than characteristic negro melodies?
Split up into ragtime, Syncopated drawn
and battered. its natural beauty is marred.
The negro dialect is rich, musical, and limit
less In both comic and poetic possibilities
But, my! my! IL there is letter in the
English alphabet for which the negro shows
a pronounced preference it Is the letter -
This is notably true in the negro's use of
Is for are Again we find him leaning to-
ward the thinner sound of "a as when
he will use am instead of are the "a in
am coming nearer the sound of T. than the
"a In are. 'Gwine.' the negro's word for
going and, by the way. a word of splendid
euphony. infinitely sweeter and more musi-
cal than going is another Illustration OF
the black mans preference for the sound
OF T. So. too. amt and Isn't are constant
ly and persistently used by negroes instead
of am not and Is not again showing the
negro's preference for what have called
the thin and sharper sound. Did you ever
hear a negro say ali for I? Well, perhaps
You have. but this Is the rare exception
The negro generally sounds the + and
sounds 1t thinly instead of broadening II
into the sound Of "a For instance. RS
gwine' is very common way the negro has
for beginning sentence meaning I am go
ing. The expression as q rule Is thin and
sharp-I's gwine.' This popularity Of negro
speech Is not only overlooked by the Jingle
builders who have flooded the market with
ragtime songs; the dialecticians who are
seeking to preserve what beauty there is in
the language of this interesting race by
giving the negro a lasting place in the liter
allure of the country have fallen INTO tho
same error. Rob the negro of his pecullart-
ties of speech and change the character of
his music, and you take from him all that
is humorous. poetic and all the finer erao-
tional shades, all the tints and colors which
run the wide range between light-hearted
comedy and the deeper shadowins of Che
tragic,

she Is businesslike, but amiable, and Is
not above making herself coquettish In
order to sell her goods. But she is firm on
one point. Nothing can persuade her to
smoke one OF her cigarettes. That IL nat
urally the thing that the humorous clerks
and youthful employees in the business
offices expect her to do. But she declines
firmly. Her cigarettes are OF good quality,
and she manages to sell enough every day
to make livelihood. One gets from her
visit an impression OF energy and vivacity,
and. to her credit 1t must be added, of self
respect and ability to look after herself
even In the rather trying way of making a
living that she has adopted
