Baba Beunaad Before Braakraar,
It waa in Aofnst, and tho niggers waa
havin’ a alia traded meotln’ ovar ahont tha
“Wild Cat” (old dlggln’s. On* night in mastin'
It wu give out that n whit* toman wanted to
hire. A big, black, thick lip nigger—“do
quire leader,’’ rla and aald: ‘Toro we all
sluts dll Ian’ song I dtalrea to ’nonnea to da
ladle* oh da church data cook la wanted—a
white ’omaa want* to hltw.” (The, all let
into glyglln.’) Than he went on,i “A white
’em an named Belay Hamilton what Uvea over
dar tother aide Sqaaro Roheraon’a want* to
hlra * ’ipcctable colored lady to he’p her do
de work.” A whisper went from on* to tother
all through tho crowd—and it wu agreed
amongst ’em that some of ’em would go and
he’p de white ’omen do de work.”
Thla la the way It happened. I hailed a
nlggar one day and axed her if she didn’t
want to hlro, aha ’lowed ehs didnt, bat she’d
•end me somebody, and I know In raison it
was her that tnek the news to tho maotin,
you want new* apretd tell n nigger. Wall I
waa pntty nigh bardaclonsly workod down sad
waa plum willin’ to hire moat any body» a* I
ennld git a little rut and git» little tewin'
done. Coolin’end lowin' don't go together.
Too get to fire op os* or tother; you nan’s do
both. Our folks halnt never been ueed to no
nigger, tad some of ’em lowed they wonld
die ’fore they’d eat a nlggtr’a cookin'. Tha
upshot of Roll waa thla—ever laat head of ’em
was .piled—plum mint.
You sen mu and maw’s been
doin’ of the cookin’ so llong
they tblnk nobody else can’t do it toault ’em.
Hit tint n hard matter to spile a man no how.
Twix cookin' and washln’ and ironin’ and
company continually putty nigh all the time,
I couldn't hw ner git nothin’ done, ao I- Jnst
told pen I wu a g wluo to him me • nlggor
and a black nigger at that. ' " I
I kearn some folks my tha yatleroaa* wAs
tooatork op— so I aimsl to try a black One—
tlra blackest the better.
I tried a whMogal a while and aha wouldn't
nigh do, aha 'paired to think 1 wanted her
for company. Hhecoma from Possum vellay,
and 1 moughter knowod she wasn't no ao-
count. Bit never taken me no tlmototall
her 1 didn’t want her. Then I hired a white
’omen—a middle aged settled 'oman—add oho
wuwsMu’n the gal. Tho font thing aha
donewutoteko ont.kor old cob olpasnd
ran it In tho whso and pair the
•moke In my nose.
It was wniaer'n Old Hits Froahour's, and
well nigh taken my breath, but I thought I’d
try to stand It if she could do the work. I
never hid saw her tel ebe come to hire—the'
lowed she wu willin’ to ho'p do anything. I
never noticed that ahe aald ' hn'p.” The main
thing I wanted with her that day wu to wub;
I had don* told her 1 wanted her to wash; I
fixed tho dotbu and tied 'am np In n enost,
and glv* her the tub and tha soap, and thar
wasn’t nothin’ for her to do hot go long to tho
branch and wash. I waited thlnklu' ever
mlnnteahe wu a-gwlne, bat ahe eottharln
tother honac and smoked. I waited, and aha
waited, and aha waited uni I waited, and tha
ann waa b gettln’ higher and
higher, and 1 knowad ’twaa time
the clothes wu on the btuhea to dry. She tot
tbar end puffed away on her ptpa like aha had
all day before her. Alter whllo 1 couldn't
•tend ft no longer, io uys I:
“Barry np, Nile Haekberry; the sun la
dimin’ yen hill mighty fut; hit’s gtttln' lata
and hit's tlmo aom* of tho dotbu wu hung

“You Pad n’t oner welted on me,”uys,I,‘Fm
not ngwlne; that's whet I hired yon for wu
to keep from a doing of It myself,” uys I,
aud I wish yon coold er aeon her. She drapt
the clothes and sot down the eoup-gonnl in n
hurry and folded her armi and mod horra'f
back and gin me sleh n look I’ll never forgot.
Iseed her eyea enr 1 night for a weak alter-
warda She wu hopping mad—she wu
■drain.
’’You bind me did you to keep from a doin’
