Show BKO. DICKEY'S PHILOSOPHY. Some folks think de devil is a gentleman; gen-tleman; en I mus' say, de ole feller is mighty 'civil w'en he lookin' fer a saint ter fry. Poverty is mighty humble; but, give it three square meals a day, en It feels big enough ter git In de middle er de road, cuss out de gas bill, en tell de sun ter Stan' still! I don't worry myse'f 'bout de moon en stars havln' people on "urn. It takes des aU my time en eddlcation ter keep on de blind side er de folks In de worl' whar I livin'. Some folks cry mighty loud fer Jes-tlce; Jes-tlce; bu'ef dey seen Jestlce comln' lyong A big road dey'd cUmh a tree en howl fer a harr leans ter blow 'urn inter de middle er de next county. Many a fool dex got thoo' de wort es slick es grease by des shakln' his bead en lookin' wise w'en all de wise mens wui actln' foolish. : I dunno 'bout dis thing er folks knowin' each other In heaven. Ef dat comes ter pass, en a bailiff, or a bill collector should git in by mistake, dey'd whirl right in and levy on our wings. Atlanta Constitution. |
