The TYSON Fortune.

There would seem to be some
material foundation for the report
in connection with the Tyson for
tune, as Mr.. Wilson l.. Camden, d
Baltimore lawyer, advertises for the
heirs of James Tyson, the deceased
Australian millionaire, who may
reside in Cecil county, to prosecute
their interests. The estate is rated
at $15, 100000, and there are sup
posed to be quite a number of the
heirs in this county. Those resid-
ing in Baltimore have already made
their claims and it is likely that
those in Cecil will speedily do so.-

Folk Lore,

The Baltimore Folk Lore Society
are engaged in hunting up the folk
lore Of the State and their circulars
invite every person who is in pos
session of any of the old supersti-
tions and beliefs, signs, sayings,
etc, to make them known to the
society. Beliefs, sayings and Gus
toms like the following are among
the information wanted by the
society,
DON'T sweep the dirt out of the
door on Sunday lest you sweep it in
the Saviour's face, but collect it
together and leave it in a corner Of
the room till Monday.
Don't begin a job on Friday as
i'll luck is sure to he met with
before it is finished.
Build fences in the up sign or
increase of the moon or the bottom
rails will sink into the ground.
Plant potatoes and other root
crops in the dark or down going
sign of the moon and other crops in
the increase of the moon.
Cut the finger nails on Friday to
prevent tooth ache.
TO learn to play the fiddle. Place
the fiddle in the road where two
roads cross and promise your soul
to the devil if he will teach YOU to
play. This performance must be
at night. Soon his satanic majesty
will appear and tune the instru,
ment and disappear. His pupil
will then take up the violin and
finds himself an accomplished mu-
stefan but at the price of his soul,
which has been bartcred to the
devil for music.
Don't shoot fox for if you do
your stock will sicken and die.
Don't sell a swarm of bees, bad
luck will follow.
Childrens' rhyming school games
are wanted by the society such as
the game of "Jackey Ink ball !"
where chain is formed by stand
ing in single file, and one acting as
sibyl is seated on the ground with
concealed eyes who cries out to the
file leader as the chain marches
round the sibyl, "Who goes round
the hall ?" The answer is, "Little
Jackey Ink ball" "Don't steal all
my sheep away" the sibyl says,
and receives the rather discour-
ing answer, eyes | will, one by one
until | get them ALL"
Such odd sayings, customs, signs
and beliefs the society is anxious to
gather up. They seem to think
their work is one of Importance,
and will feel very grateful to per-
sons who furnish them all kinds of
such old nonsense. If people who
are in possession of such folk lore
will send it to the MIDLAND JOUR
NAL, giving the origin when known,
we will publish it and forward
copies to the Baltimore society.
People who have out grown such
things and say ooh, pshaw !" al
ways stop to listen to them, on the
theory we suppose that
"a little nonsense now ana then
Is rclished by the wisest men"

Cherokee w Ould Ltke to See tho Ju.

Cherokee, Sept. 27.-The proposition
to divide the Fourth judicial district,
making Woodbury. county separate
district meets with approval in this
county. 1t is thought that the six con-
stitute district by itself and that
Harrison and Monona counties should
form another district or be annexed to
the Woodbury. county district.
The school census taken this fall
gives Cherokee school census of Ills.
This number multiplied by the ratio of
four and one-half would give Cherokee
population of over 5000. Over a dozen
new families have taken up their abode
here since the census was taken and
the population is rapidly increasing.
With population of 5000 or over only
30 per cent of the voters would need to
petition in order to establish saloons
under the mulct law, and it is about
time another census was taken and a
new petition circulated.
