kederi arkada bırakıp maceralara atılan, sadık değneğinin ucunda sallanıp duran çıkınından başka tesellisi olmayan öksüzlerin çocuk kitaplarındaki tasvirlerini anımsatıyor.

The whole thing is called a 'bindle' (Bundle in US I gather), also known as 'bag on a stick', and as far as I know the bit that you put stuff in is called 'kerchief'.

'Tying the Kerchief
The kerchief is the part of the bindle that contains your hobostashtm, which may include a harmonica, moonshine, a comically ragged stovepipe hat, or victuals. In this case, it contains my Pantspack, which in turn contains all of the clothes I took while visiting friends this weekend.
I made this particular kerchief myself out of cotton cloth, it measures about 1 square yard and will also make an excellent keffiyeh for when the dustbowl envelops your shantytown.

Congratulations! You have a bindle. '

disagree  Onur Güngör: so why kerchief???
2 days7 hrs
  -> Because kerchief is the exact term for the cloth bag of the bindle. As the asker is looking for a term for the swinging part at the end of the stick, I suggested 'kerchief', rather than the bindle itself, which is the stick plus the hanging part.
