Little, But Ambitious, This
Pickaninny of Thirteen
That patriots are patriots, whether
young or old, white or black, was
proved Saturday afternoon by a lit
tle negro boy, who, with his equally
small black sister backing him up in
his laudable effort, tried to get into
the great war machine of the United
Mates oi America and couldnt
Just after the big parade Saturday
. afternoon, and while things were sort
o' dull in the recruiting office of Bat
tery E of the first lennessee field
artillery, a little negro boy, some 3
feet tall and barefooted, walked into
the office. A little negro girl sucking
a very large pickle, followed behind
him.
The little pickaninny pulled off his
cap and rolling his eyes at one of the
recruiting officers, said gravely:
"I wants to join de army."
For a minute the men were stunned.
But nobody laughed.
"What do you want to do in the
army?" the officer said.
"I wants to work. I can chop
km' in'."
This was a puzzling situation for
the officer. The boy was in dead
earnest. The officer turned to the lit
tie girl. '
"Are you hi6 sister?"
"Yas. sir." "
"Do you want him to join the
army?
"Yas, sir."
Not a smile from anybody.
"I saw a sign in de parade says
come to 502 Church street to join,
said the little negro hopefully.
"This is the place," said the officer.
"but I'm afraid you're a little bit too
voune to join.
Tse 13," declared the little fellow
stoutlv.
The officer shook his head, but to
hold out hope to the little patriot, told
him to report to the captain of the
Nashville negro company, who would
eive him something to do.
"All rizht. sir." said the little picka
ninny as he was leaving. "I'll find
him, fer I sho' does want to join."
