Kiddies’ Korner
Madree Penn
The Turning of the Babies in the Bed
Woman’s sho’ a cur’ous critter.
An’ dey aint no doubting dat.
She’s a mess o’ funny capahs f’om
Huh slippahs to huh hat.
Ef you tries to un’erstan’ huh, an’
You fails, des’ up an’ say:
“D’ aint a bit o’ use to try to
Un’erstan’ a woman’s way.”
I don’ mean to be complain', but
I’s jes’ a-settin’ down
Some o’ my own observations,
W’en I cas’ my eye eroun,.
Ef you ax me fu’ to prove it,
I ken do it mighty fine
Fu’ dey aint no bettah, ’zample
Den dis v’ey wife o’ mine.
In de ve'y heat o’ midnight, w'en
I’s sleepin’ good an’ soun’,
I kin hveah a so’t o’ rustlin’ an’
Somebody movin’ roun’.
An’ I say, "Lize, whut you doin’?”
But she frown an' shek huh haid,
“Hush yo’ mouth, I’s only tu’nin’
Of de chillun in de bed.
“Don’ you know a chile gits restless,
Layin’ all de night one way?
An’ you got to kind o’ ’range him
Sev’al times befo’ de day?
So de little necks won’t worry, an’
De little backs won’t break,
Don’ you tink case chillun’s chillun
Dey aint got no pain an’ ache.”
So she shakes ’em, an’ she twists ’em,
An’ she tu’ns ’em ’roun’ erbout.
Twell I don’ see how de chillun
Evah keeps f’om hollohin’ out.
Den she lif’s ’em up head down-’ards,
So’s dey won’t git livah-grown,
But dey snoozes des’ ez peaceful
Ez a liza’d on a stone.
We’n hit’s mos’ nigh time fu’
Wakin’ on de dawn o’ jedgment day,
Seems lak I kin hyeah ol’ Gab’iel
Lay his trumpet down an’ say,
“Who dat walkin’ ’roun so easy,
Down on earf ermong de dead?”—
’T will be Lizy up a-tu’nin’ of de
Chillun in de bed.”
Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
IT SURE IS
Say, Pete, did you ever stop to
think, ez how when yer are a’laying
all nice in bed jest a ’sleeping ter beat
the band ’n its cool ’n’ der rain is all a
drizzling down n’everything, yer maw
she comes upstairs, she does, 'n keeps
yelling at yer, telling yer, its time

yer hate to turnover! What’s the use
of getting up enyhow when that ole
teacher’s going to have a jogerfy test
’n yer don’t know whether dem Cater
piller mountains ez in Maine or Kan

’N yer gotta git up 'n go to school
’n wear rubbers. ’Nn yer flunk the
test, ’n the teacher keep yer after

home ’n yer maw never sez a thing
erbout that, when, ef yer hadda got

Cane. Gosh! Pete when yer git to

THANKS TO OMAHA’S MINISTERS
I wish to thank all of the Colored
minister;, of the city who made it pos
sible to afford Dr. N. H. B. Cassell
the privilege of presenting his mes
sage to our people in Omaha and re
gret only that his stay was so short
as to make it impossible for him to
have been the guest at all of our
churches.
Doctor Cassell was very pleased
with the spirit of the race in Omaha
and appreciated their generous dona
tions for Liberian education.
