04 Extry! All about the West Side Murder! By King, Ben

Dar’s er mighty ‘culiah newsboy
Dat gets mixed in wid de res’
His ha’r is so’t o’ crinky,
En dar’s tatters in ‘is dress.
Ole Africa is in ‘is face,
De chalk is in ‘is eye,
Yet far above all other waifs
I hear ‘is plaintive cry.

For hit’s early in the mohnin’ w’en he’s rakin’ in de dimes -
Intah Ocean, H’yarld, Trebune, Globe, Mohnin’ News, en Times.

En de later evening papers
Brings about the startling wail: -
All about de double murder in
De Journal, Pos’, en Mail.
