i'.M Hungry; whar us wine git5uuii'
sho' 'nouf t'eat ?"

J 11
The questioner swallowed a last Lit
gingerbread and arose from the crowded
bench in front of Mr, Keliey's store
wheie the greatest number uf colored
country folks bad cunrofiaied. A bi-; h
blue felt bat was tilted forward over hrr
bang arranged in infinitrMinal pla
with bushy ends and at the same time
allowed a good view of her back hair,
which had been divided off iudl squares
and so tightly wrapped wiili red curd that
each little cue stood out stiffly, afte r a
fashion that is very popular, because such
treatment is believed to result in a much
desired lengthening and straihteniuf; of
the kinky wool. The maiden smoothed
bcr variegated costume coijuettislily and
turned to her companion, a youth in jean,
with a head ceverintr, ingeniously fash
ioned by neatly sewing a circular top into
section of trousers leg.
"Owine git sump'n t'eat at a rusty-rant,
uv cose," declared the latter individual,
leading the way towaid Aunt Ceely Cloff'a
eating house.
"Dat whut make tncsay what I does,"
observed a dusky listener, watching the
pair. 'Caio't nobody upon 'low a nijger
got to be rale holler 'fo' he tech vittles,
caz; ef hitlef wid him, he gwine stuff
hisse'f 'twell he lectle mo'n bus',"
"Trouf, too, Sis Tenipy," agreed an
old man with a venerable white poll; "en
furder mo', de young race, dese days,
ain't wuth 'how come dey in dis world'!''
"0, shucks, Unker Poliaui," interrupted
a fat colored woman mildly, "you battel
ricklec' dis here's Chris'mus, en ev'ybody
boun' to take dey swing den."
"tome to study bout dat, dar two
folksei I aiu' hear tell er tukin' do swiog
ner buyin' no Chris'mus, nutber; en dey
Brer Primus en Sis Haly. Enny you all
seen urn?" inquired Unker Poliam, ad
dressing the crowd at Urge.
"Lawd, no !" declared Sis Tampy,
taking her snuff brush from behind her
ear, and reaching into a capacious pocket
fur the little tin snuff box. "Las' time I
laid eyes on Brer Primus he wai all
ricketcd up wid takin' turkentime fer de
rheumatii, en I upon 'lowed, right den,
'Brer Primus, you done collapted now
you better let turkentime 'lone, er you'll
be double collapted I"
"Ku dat place er dern," commented
another of (he group, "hit de numbes'
lookiu' place in creashun; na' er chicken,
ner pig, ner nothin' to make it himesome.
Dey pi' cs Job's turkey, yit dey hoi
ueyse t gyeartea up same like dey was
quality niggers."
"Dat don't fojl nobody," averted
Unker Poliam, taking his corncob pipe
from his lips to re arrange its glowin:
contents with a callous forefinger. "Hit
don't inquire uo turble lot er senee to
spresify dat dey done reach de eend
Uey row, sno a you tiorn; en l knows
pintedly dat dey has not got de needces
sary cash to lif dat moggigc, de which
gwine sell 'em out fust day er Jinowerry."
"Bless Gawd !" interjected Sis Tempy,
gjaiog down the street. "Talk bout de
oon, en dar you gwine fine de tracks
Kfyon'er ain't Brer Primus en Sis Haly
wid all de gragchillco piled up in dey
convenience, sanier en millious in
watcrmillion wagon I"
The conveyance sighted advanced with
squeaks and groans, as u bewailing lis
own approaching dissolution or that of
the work worn mustang which ITuker
Primus found no dif&jully in halting
t ie outskirts of a crowd of vehicles that
b'ocked the thoroughfare. Aunt Haly
proudly resolved to bide her misl'urtune
from prying acquaintances, briskly
alighted, and, wending her way among
the stubborn-looking mules, ancient na
and heavy yoked oxen, was soon engaged
in greeting the tide walk assemblage with
II the brjad b-inhomie and quint chceri
ness of the true Southern negro.
"Howdy, Brer Poliam ?" culled she to
the patriarch, who by reason of his age
nd ecclesiastic tl pnaiio'iojj merited
first notice. "How you comin' on?"
"Wull, Sis Haly," answered he,"
to ink u twd 1 m so to bi here. 1 am
nuver been right smart senoe I taken wid
dat cowbuoker on my oaik, yistiddy wui
a moot' ago. How yo' folks, Sis Haly'
"Sorter slow, Brer Poliam, sorter slow '
"Lawd, dat you, Sis Haly," iuterpiacd
Sis Tempy, ai she waddled up to shake
hands heartily with the new comer.
"Dat who I 'lows hit is, chile: least
ways I ain't heard teller n chan;
pusson since 1 lef h ;uj," declared Aunt
Haly with gay laugh.
i 1 riser rnmui ama lu lur bis mare
of welcome after ha had hitched the
pony til helped out the children, and
then the family party marched into the
t re first, Aunt Haly iu an antique
Ipaci and a long mintlo th it was green
ish with aga and very bald as to ill fur
trimmings; next, linker Primus buttoned
up to the chin in a rough overcoat, the
origin il fastenings of which had been
replaced by little oak sticks secured with
twine; and last but not least conspicuous,
the four children in motley garb, their
eyoa and mouths wide open with delighted
wonder at the fascinating display of
Christmas goods.
But in all the bewilderiug array noth
iog received Auut Haly 'a approval. This
"wa'u't filten for a dawg," that "wa'n't
ekel de money ait," and much mora t .
the iimo intent; for, if the truth must
be told, the trip to town was but t ruse,
'. designed to ifforrlhe children the Dora
Christmas cheer which the old couple's
depleted exchequer could uot provide.
Consequently, there fullowed uo stowing
away id' mysterious brown bundles under
the wagon seat, as had been the custom
at previous Christmas times: jot so exu
berant is youthful hope that even this
fact failed to check the little darkies'
happy anticipations of the holiday.
"Cose Sandy Claws cuuic to ev'ybody
house," they assured cue another, "en
dey ain't no 'seuse te-r skippiu' ourn, eaze
de chitubty mighty big en handy es a
hoss rack for hitehin' dem deers er hisn
onto."
Great, then, was the dismay when
Auut Haly announced uext day that
Midi expectations were vain. Mie was
seated on the doorstep in workaday home
spun and plaid "heiidliau'kereher," and
ner lianas, sliming wit ti the tirass rings
which she wore as preventives of cramp,
industriously twined holly and cedar into
wreaths. These were for decking the
graves of h- r "white folks," according to
a yule custom prevailing in many families
and now maintained by this quondam
retainer.
Tcs, chillcn," she confessed as she
wrought, "granny mighty sorry, but hit
"I
jes' like I tell
Sandy Claws don'
th'ow off no time foolin' 'longer dirt ro'
folkes like we all, ner nobody else don',
outlier; 1 done had de snc'unce er dut.
Kn us wussen dirt po' dey ain't no cof
fee, dey ain't no meat, dey ain't skaccly
nuthin' 'tall to eat in de house; en Gawd
knows dey ain't na'er dollar ready ginst
dat moggigc juc de fust day or Jinowerry,
de which gwine turn us outeu dis house
er ourn."
The old woman turned sorrowfully
toward the rude cabin, built with such
hopeful toil, and set with the humble
treasures of a lifetime. Faded lithographs,
magazine cut9 and instalment-bought
cbruruos decorated the walls; a loud
veiced clock towered above several
very precious china pieces on a
shelf, and a small table upheld
tin large family Bible, the spiritual
comfort of which probably emanated from
its uiero presence, since none of the
household could read. A four post bed
stead, furnished with a puffy feather
"tick" and adorned with a bright hued
patchwork quilt occupied half the room,
and beyond, through an open doorway,
was visible a stout pine table, a lofty
shelf sustaining a water bucket and drink
ing gourd, an ironing board, a spinning
heel, and, in the yawning fire place, a
pot and three legged skillet, hobnobling
among the ashes.
Taiu't much, Gawd knows," ac
knowledged Aunt 1 1 illy pathetically, "hut
hit's all i urn, whut us done sweat en
wrasslc for, en look like hit jes' tear out
de nachel heart strings to gin hit up.
Lawd! Lawu!'1 And big li ars fell anions
the "lims oi holly heiri-'s, as Aunt Haly
gathered up her w r- :itli and started for
the lonely t-urial pint.
After a while the children, who had
remained at home, decided to build a
fire. " 'tiiiist gran'piw come from luok
in' alter he traps, den granny mout make
some coffee, bein's es bow dis here
Chris'mus Kve," Pa'uiyre, the second
girl, suggested.
"I'm sustonished at you, Pelimy, well
es you doue beard granny say us ain't
got no coffee 'tall," corrected Jinsy, the
eldest.
"Wull, den, a hoe cake," said Palmyre
retrenching; "dat's lilliu', anyhow, en I'm
des holler es a gode, I sho' is!"
By this time Jin-y, Palmyre, (phonet
ically, "Pelimy") and their brother Tom,
nicknamed "Bud Chug" as a contraction
of "sugar," had sprawled before the
hearth, where the newly lighted pine
knot blaze threw weird glints upon their
pudgy, good iivtured features; but Patsy,
the youngest, sit silently in the shallow.
"Whut you study'n 'bout now. Patsy?"
asked Jinsy. "You de cu'ou-es' human
being in creashun, anyhow!"
"I aiu' no human being, I'm del
folksei like you all is," cried Patsy, indig
nantly rejeciing her sister's term as one
of sus cted approbrium.
"D.. iile same thing," explained Jin-
ly; "bin whut is you study'n 'bout, dar
in de d ik? You look like you done
fell off ue roos', chile"
!'I des turnin' over in my mine whut
granny done 'low 'bout Sandy Claws,"
confessed Patsy, rubbing a tear fiom her
eye with a grimy fist, "en I des study'n
ef all un us wui to git toge'r cn pray.
seetu like de Lawd mout Sen' ole Sandy
Claws to wo all house alter he d one wint
de round. Unk' Sampson, over to R

de Lawd. He lay dat how come de
buuard aiu' pestered 'bust nothiu' like
tur' beast e-se- ii, case he alius lo kin' to
Gawd," declared the little creature with
all a child's simple faith.
"Luipli, now at? inquired the more
skeptical Jinsy.
"He say, de buinrd cq de hock 'greed
to jioo panluers for vittles. De hock
mighty bradi, cd flawed back'erds and
fot'ards, wid his eye sot for a squ'l or
chicken, whilst de buuird, he des sail
round sorter sleepy, with his eyes half

'Brer Bunzird, look like you aiu' husttliu

cyarkise, en he 'low, 'Po' Brer Hock,

"Nigger, you slio' is gut staca like a
mule," declared I'a'uisre a-lujiririLrly, up
on the story's con l-t-i u. "Com1 us kin
pen on ile L itiiI, but us den' know huw
to lil' no prayer."
I does.'' cried Patsy eagerly: aud
plumping upon her knees, she began.
"Lawd, sen' Sandy Clawi to ."
You aiu' got lo go bodaciously iulo
prayer like dat," iulcnupled llud Chug
authoritatively. This young peisen, wilh
an aim for fuluie miuisteiial honors, had
devoted much thought to such matters,
and hud stored his memory with chuicc
culliogs from the negro pastor's perora
tions. "You commences, 'Mussyful
Father cn glorablc Gawd, us po' sinners
is 'seuibled here dis' night to ax en ex
plore yo' probesringness for our back
slidiu' cn oncliristianness.' Dat de way
Brer Brown make a start over to Mt.
Zion."
So instrueked, Patsy began anew, and
progressed smoothly until she entered
the field of individual wants "Send
Pi limy," she prayed, "a ncwcalkcr coat-"
"Slnieks1" broke in Hud Chug, "yon
cain' conic ai de l.awd so fauiilious like
I done tuld you. You cuhter say,
'Grofsious Gawd, funis yo' incouulenanec
onto dis po' sinner, Pelimy, in de low
grounds er sorrow.' ''
Along this line the player continued
down lo the final clause, when Patsy,
having set forth the family needs to her
perfect satisfaction, suddculy ended.
"Dat a turble onrespccll'ul way to
oend," remonstrated Bud Chug severely.
"Ax for whutsomedever you wants,
mighty perlite, en den drap off wid plain
'Aiucd!' You hatter slope 'long sorter
easy, like tiror llrown does. ties say,
Kn now. homni-presents Father, us have
